This's all of a lot more therefore if the garage area sits back from the front side of the home with drive in front or perhaps alongside. Next, a carport is able to offer very good protection for automobile, watercraft, motorbike, or maybe low height car, and also shelter from the weather condition while unloading just before garaging.

With virtually all carports produced of GRP (glass reinforced plastic) along with translucent, composite glazed roofs. Visit http://bit.ly/2mj03vH for more transparent roofing sheets profiles. GRP is much stiffer than Polycarbonate but it has lower light transmission. It is not at all hard for these people to be connected to the edge of a home or maybe garage with side or perhaps freestanding pillars. Innovative cantilevered canopy styles can also be readily available that readily connect to any kind of wall, with very little or maybe no noticeable reinforcement. A lot of these also require very few, if any, other groundworks or foundations.

Planning for an automobile Port

Since they're regarded as to be' temporary structures', automobile ports do not usually need planning endorsement. The same is true for some ready-made, or' kit' garages. Nevertheless, you are going to need to view a selection of various other regulations, for instance, if the system is usually to be closer to the street as opposed to the front side of the home of yours.

You will additionally have to comply with any appropriate structure regulations, such as being a minimum of a metre using the boundary' despite the fact that in common terms building laws don't use to detached sole storey structures located greater than a metre coming from the boundary. Providing they're available on a minimum of 2 sides and also have a floor part of not over thirty square metres, automobile ports don't require developing laws endorsement.

Outbuildings

Generally, outbuildings (see below) are believed to be as' permitted advancement,' providing:-

Look for These Top Things when installing a new Garage Door

Some people say garage doors make a house look better from the outside. Others say that getting the right garage door can make your home worth more. They might be right, but the main reason people buy garage doors is that they are needed to keep things safe. Here are the most important things to look for in a good garage door in areas like Narooma.

1. The parts or materials

There are many kinds of garage door materials. Wood, steel, fibreglass, aluminium, vinyl, and composite are some of the most common. The type of material you choose will depend on what you like and what the environment is like where you live. For example, steel doors are good for places that are prone to hurricanes, and fibreglass or GRP doors are popular near the sea.

2. Maintenance

You should also think about how easy it will be to keep up. Steel doors, like those made by Hormann garage doors and other brands, don't need much upkeep. Wooden doors, on the other hand, need to be taken care of more often because they tend to crack and warp over time.

3. Keeping warm

Insulation is something you should think about, especially if you live in a place with a very harsh climate or where the weather changes quickly. Checking the "R" value of the garage doors can tell you how well they insulate. Thermal resistance is measured by the "R" value, and as a general rule, you should try to find doors with high "R" values.

4. Durability

The garage door is one of the biggest pieces of home equipment, so it's important to pick one that can stand up to the weather and other unplanned events. You might need to choose a door that is strong and doesn't need much maintenance, even if it isn't as pretty. Don't give up! There are brands, like Hormann, that make GRP doors with a wood grain surface finish so you can get the durability of fibreglass and the look of wood.

Putting money into the right garage door is a good idea. It can keep you safe from the weather and change your home in ways you never thought possible. Plan well when you buy a garage door in places like Narooma, and you will get long-term benefits.

How to instal a garage door with sections

Before you start installing your new door, you should read and understand the instructions. If you have any questions, you should ask them before you start, as this will save you time in the long run.

Once you know how your particular sectional garage door needs to be put together, you can start.

1. Put the door's frame together and clamp it into place. If you need to, use packers to make sure the door is square and level in the opening.

2. Using a masonry drill like an SDS drill or something similar, drill the required holes for fixing and put the plugs that came with the kit in them. When you're done, you can fix it with the screws and washers that came with it or with a socket set or a cordless drill with a socket attachment.

3. When you're done putting the frame together, make sure it's still level and square, and then move on to putting the tracks in. Follow the instructions for installing the tracks, which will involve connecting them to the tracks on the frame, making sure the connections are smooth, and then hanging the tracks from the ceiling joists or side walls. Before securing, measure the diagonals of the tracks to make sure they are square.

4. Install the springs. Depending on the gear configuration of the sectional door you bought, you may need to install a spring on the back of the tracks, springs down the sides of the frame, or springs above the frame. Follow the directions from the manufacturer and be very careful when working with garage door springs.

5. Once the springs or cables are in place, put the rubber strip into the channel on the bottom door panel. Spraying the channels with WD40 or something similar can help make sure the rubber slides in right. Once this is in place, you can put the panel in place.

6. Put the panel in place and clamp it to the frame to keep it from falling while you put the wheels and brackets on. Once you have put all of the brackets and wheels in place, you can connect the spring cables, if the door has them.

7. Keep putting on the rest of the panels, making sure that the BRACKETS AND WHEELS are on correctly. If they aren't, the door won't open properly.

8. Once all the panels are in place, you will need to tighten the springs. Be careful and WEAR STRONG GLOVES just in case you have trouble tightening the springs. When they are tightened, sectional garage door springs are very strong and can hurt your hands VERY BADLY if you are not careful.

9. Oil the door's tracks and moving parts and make sure the locking handle is in place if the door has to be opened and closed by hand.

10. If the door will be opened by a garage door opener, install it according to the directions, making sure the boom is level and in the middle of the door.

Contact our team of professionals in step 1

Your tank needs to be assessed first by our team of experts. If a customer reports a leaky GRP Panel Water Tanks in UAE and requests our assistance, we will normally attend to their site without hesitation in accordance with our standard operating procedure. As a result, if your GRP water tank leaks, we strongly advise that you contact us.

Finding the issue is step two.

Following a thorough examination of the leaky GRP Panel water tank, our team of professionals can quickly identify the issue and make the necessary repairs. Because leaks are often evident on the walls of the tank section, our personnel can sometimes detect them right away. If this is the case, there is a higher likelihood that the foundation and base of the tank were built incorrectly in relation to the tank's capacity.

As the third step, completely empty your tank.

We might continue looking for the leak once your tank is empty. We must first empty the tanks before we can identify the area of the tank that is leaking. Emptying it will just allow you to see the leaking component in a clearer way.

Step 4: Techniques for Repairing

This is true if the GRP Tank's leak is caused solely by a crack. The overall repair of Panel tanks with Fiberglass materials is covered by this technique. Leading Fiberglass Manufacturers in UAE are Capital Group Industry. Wherever the leak is, we will slightly extend the breach using a hand-held or electric rotary blade. The crack will be able to be filled with resin by doing this. By wiping it with a dry rag, make sure the fracture is tidy and dry. The resin won.

Installing Sandwich panels for cold storage in Oman can be a smart move- Get to know why

In recent years, the dominant usage of sandwich panels as a cladding material has been an increasing interest. The three-layer panels have become an excellent construction material due to their insulation properties. Various construction companies in Oman opt for sandwich panels when designing cold rooms, offices, buildings, and homes. These panels have become a universal material due to their aesthetic, reliability, qualitative, and multipurpose benefits.

Why use sandwich panels for cold storage in Oman?

Sandwich panels consist of three layers. With two metal sheets on each side, the innermost core of the panel has insulating material made from either mineral wool, PIR, PUS, or EPS. Despite the impeccable smoothness, each panel is resistant to impact loads and external pressure. In contrast to conventional concrete walls, sandwich panels are a better alternative for cold storage as they prevent corrosion and damage due to weather, humidity, and moisture conditions. Unlike modern partitions, sandwich panels have a greater lifetime in wet environments. The panels absorb applied force, exhibit higher resistance, and are highly functional in constructing cold storage walls, ceilings, and rooms. TSSC is one of the most trustworthy sandwich panel manufacturers in Oman. The premium quality sandwich panels offer airtight technology and prevent the accumulation of microbes on the surface.

Premium quality sandwich panels offer insulation

Insulation is one of the most fundamental requirements of high functioning cold storage. Certain temperature-sensitive items such as fresh fruits and vegetables, processed meat, dairy, pharmaceutical, and chemical items require a specific temperature to remain efficient and safe for consumption. TSSC’s sandwich panels in Oman reduce heat transmission and prevent the waste of energy inside a cold storage room. The two galvanized face sheets provide optimal protection, and the core heat offers resistant properties to guard against dampness, heat, temperature fluctuations, and other climatic conditions.

The thermal resistance of a sandwich panel solely depends on the insulation material and the cellular structure. A Gulf country like Oman requires high-functioning cold rooms to provide optimal temperatures for perishable commodities.

The Dezeen guide to plastic in architecture, design and interiors

Thinking of using plastic in your project? Our latest Dezeen guide includes more than 11 types of plastic commonly used in architecture, design and interiors, with links to hundreds of projects for inspiration.

Plastics are among the most versatile materials in existence. Defined by their plasticity, they have long carbon chains called polymers at their backbone and can be moulded, extruded or cast into any desired shape from films to textile fibres.

They can be divided into thermosetting plastics, which never soften once moulded, and thermoplastics, which can be melted and reshaped, making them more suited to recycling.

Plastics "are a co-product of fossil fuels"

Although certain plastics – such as rubber, which is derived from the rubber plant – occur naturally, most modern plastics are synthetic and more than 99 per cent are derived from fossil fuels.

This helps to make plastics more affordable than most other materials and sees them used to create millions of tonnes of single-use items every year.

"Part of why plastics are so cheap is that they are a co-product of fossil fuels," explained designer Charlotte McCurdy, who has created a bioplastic made from algae.

"Petroleum or natural gas is pumped out of the ground and at the refinery, it is broken up into different lengths of molecule and catalytically cracked into useful monomers."

79 per cent of all plastic is dumped in landfills

This refining process yields not just fuels such as gasoline and kerosene but also chemical byproducts such as ethylene and propylene, which are the most important feedstocks used to create plastics.

Once discarded, 79 per cent of all plastic is dumped in landfills or in the environment, where it will remain for thousands of years. Although this contributes to pollution, it also helps to sequester the carbon contained in the materials and prevents it from entering the atmosphere.

But when incinerated, as 12 per cent of all plastic waste is, this carbon is emitted as carbon dioxide.

Taken together, plastic production and incineration were responsible for more than 850 million metric tons of greenhouse-gas emissions in 2019.

However, with growing efforts to decarbonise the economy, non-fossil alternatives are being developed in a bid to meet the ever-increasing demand for plastics in a more sustainable way.

Read on to find out more about the most popular types of plastic and their possible substitutes.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

PET is a strong yet lightweight thermoplastic, originally developed in the 1940s by combining fossil fuel-derived ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.

The resulting polymer can be blow-moulded to form single-use bottles, stretched into a film for food packaging or spun into fibres to create polyester fabric, which accounts for more than half the world's synthetic fibres.

Designers often make use of PET for its translucent finish, with Marjan van Aubel turning it into solar panels that resemble stained glass windows while Beyond Space created a cavernous interior in an Amsterdam office using a kilometre's worth of semi-sheer polyester.

PET is also the most widely recycled plastic, at which point it is called rPET and can be used to create everything from backpacks (above) to Emeco's Navy chair.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE)

HDPE is a variation of polyethylene, the most common type of plastic in use today. While its low-density equivalent LDPE is used to make plastic bags, HDPE is sturdier and more rigid, lending itself to everything from milk jugs to packaging for cleaning products and toiletries.

The material is also used to create plastic bottle caps and even when brands such as Evian claim they've created bottles from "100 per cent recycled plastic", their lid is generally made from virgin HDPE to guarantee durability.

However, the material can ultimately be recycled after use, with architecture firm Bulot+Collins using the waste plastic to form 1,400 thermochromic tiles for a floating diving platform while Space Available and techno DJ Peggy Gou turned 20 kilograms of HDPE collected from Bali's beaches into a chair.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Derived from chlorine and ethylene, PVC makes up about 20 per cent of all plastic produced. Due to its strength and durability, the material is commonly used to create pipes, gutters and window frames, which designers have variously recycled into flower vases and cladding (above).

With the addition of a phthalate plasticiser, PVC can be turned into flexible vinyl and used to form flooring, shower curtains and imitation leather. Swiss studio Bureau A made use of the material's pliability to create an inflatable nightclub while Formafantasma played with its translucency in a "deconstructed" stage design for fashion label Sportmax.

Due to additives like phthalate, vinyl is among the least recyclable plastics and has been linked to a number of health concerns. But latex made from the sap of the rubber tree can offer a renewable, plant-based alternative.

See projects featuring PVC ›

Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene is derived from propylene gas, a byproduct of the gasoline refining process, and is commonly used to form more rigid, hardwearing items such as Tupperware, kid's toys and outdoor furniture.

Designers began experimenting with the material in the 1950s to create monobloc chairs, injection moulded and formed from a single piece of material. Among the most notable designs are Verner Panton's Panton chair, the Air-Chair by Jasper Morrison and more recently the recycled polypropylene Bell Chair by Konstantin Grcic for Magis, which is manufactured in less than a minute.

The thermoplastic can also be spun into fibres to create surgical masks, which South Korean designer Haneul Kim has recycled to create a series of stackable stools, or used as a 3D-printing filament as in the performance sports tiles on Yinka Ilori's Bank Street Park basketball court.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic with carbonate groups in its chemical structure, making the material exceptionally resistant to impacts and temperature changes.

Often used to create bulletproof windows, it can be engineered to be almost as clear as glass while being lighter and up to 250 times stronger.

Polycarbonate sheets are popular among architects and interiors designers for their ability to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy, as well as improving a building's thermal insulation.

Francesc Rifé Studio used the sheeting to divide an old textile factory into offices for the team behind Michelin-starred restaurant El Bulli while La Shed Architecture clad an entire barn (above) in the translucent material to give cows "a better quality of life".

Polyurethane (PU)

Polyurethanes are a diverse class of plastic polymers derived from isocyanic acid. Most commonly, PU takes the form of a flexible foam used for mattresses and upholstery while a more rigid variety is turned into trainer soles for brands from Adidas to Allbirds.

As a coating, lacquer or varnish, it can waterproof fabrics and protect wooden furniture as well as helping leather alternatives such as Piñatex withstand wear and tear.

Design studio Layer made use of PU's adhesive qualities to create a heat-sealing tape that bonds textiles without the need for stitches. And spun into fibres, it forms the main ingredient in spandex, which is used to make sportswear as well as more boundary-pushing items such as fabric-cast concrete moulds and wearables that can be stuck to the body like plasters (above).

Polyurethanes are not easily recycled and can contain potentially carcinogenic compounds that irritate the skin and respiratory system.

Fibreglass

Also known as glass-reinforced plastic or GRP, fibreglass is made by taking thin glass filaments, either loose or woven into cloth, and encasing them within a petrochemical resin.

The composite material is lighter and stronger than steel while being cheaper and more flexible than carbon fibre. As a result, fibreglass is used to create products where performance is key, including skis as well as the rotor blades of helicopters and wind turbines.

Architects have made use of the material to create tall, lightweight structures such as BIG's 2016 Serpentine Pavilion (above), which was formed from 1,900 translucent blocks, and a tubular installation designed by Neri Oxman and erected by a swarm of autonomous robots.

Polystyrene

In its original form, polystyrene is a hard, solid resin used to make disposable cutlery. But when solid beads of the plastic are exposed to hot steam, they puff up like popcorn to create expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, mostly known by its brand name Styrofoam.

The rigid, closed-cell foam is 98 per cent air and has a low thermal conductivity, making EPS a widely used packaging for fragile items as well as for hot foods and drinks.

Once discarded, designers have been able to repurpose this packaging into sculptural chairs and beckoning cats, as well as melting it to create moulds. In architecture, it can be used for insulation or more experimental applications as in ADX's Soil House (above), which features walls of loose soil fixed in place with a foam spray.

Acrylic

Acrylic is a catchall term used to describe a range of different resins derived from acrylic acid. These can be suspended in water to create paint or spun into fibres that can be used to make clothing or as precursors for carbon fibre.

When cast into sheets, the thermoplastic is known as plexiglass and used as a low-cost, shatter-resistant alternative for glass due to its exceptional optical clarity. This application was pioneered during the second world war when it was used to form fighter jet windows and submarine periscopes.

More recently, English architecture firm HAL used giant plexiglass panels to form a 35-metre-high swimming pool bridge connecting two buildings in London (above) while designer Christophe Gernigon turned the material into suspended hoods for socially distanced dining.

Furniture made from acrylic can reflect light or disappear into its surroundings, as demonstrated by the see-through counter that Yota Kakuda created for Bake Kitasenju brasserie and Say Architects' ghostly interior for the Lika Lab boutique in Hangzhou.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, much like polystyrene, is a hard thermoplastic derived from a clear, liquid petrochemical called styrene. In ABS, this is combined with butadiene rubber to create a stronger, more durable material that can withstand compression better than concrete and has been injection moulded to form billions of hardwearing Lego bricks since 1963.

Due to its low melting point and the fact that it can be easily painted and glued, the plastic is also one of the most common additive manufacturing filaments and was used to form the world's first 3D-printed gun.

Extruded ABS pipes are more resilient than their PVC counterparts, making them suitable for constructing sewer systems and being repurposed into a corrugated seating collection by designer Phan Thao Dang (above).

See projects featuring ABS ›

Nylon

As the first fully man-made fibre, created in a US lab in the 1930s, nylon spawned an era of innovation in synthetic fabrics.

Although initially synonymous with stockings, the term nylon has since expanded to include a whole family of plastics composed of polyamides. These can be found in toothbrush bristles, films for food packaging and moulded components in cars and electronics.

However, the material's primary application remains in fibres, with SO-IL using nylon webbing to form a colourful hammock around 130 trees and Studio Drift crafting it into a kinetic sculpture for the Dutch National Touring Opera (above).

In recent years, a number of fashion brands including Prada have moved from virgin to regenerated nylon, also known under the brand name Econyl, in a bid to mitigate the material's environmental impact. Rayon can offer an alternative that is based on plant-based cellulose fibres rather than fossil fuels.

See projects featuring nylon ›

Plastic alternatives

With growing concerns around pollution and efforts to create a circular economy not reliant on fossil fuels, architects and designers are increasingly looking to substitute virgin and petroleum-based plastics for more sustainable alternatives.

This includes recycled plastic, which presents a huge source of untapped potential as only nine per cent of the 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic waste produced across the world have so far been turned into new products.

The material can be sourced from recycling plants or companies such as The Ocean Cleanup and Parley for the Oceans, which are fishing marine plastic from our oceans and waterways before teaming up with brands to turn it into sunglasses, trainers and more.

Bioplastics that use natural materials rather than crude oil as feedstocks present another possible alternative. Polylactic acid (PLA), the most common type of bioplastic, is generally made from corn starch or sugar cane while others are derived from algae or chitin.

Many are designed to be compostable or biodegradable under specific conditions to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment, although some experts have raised concerns that this could ultimately lead to soil and water acidification.

Different Types of Doors and their Applications

DOOR:

A door is defined as a moving piece of wood or glass or metal that acts as a barrier in a passage. It controls the movement, ingress in and out. It is an essential and primary thing that acts as security and provides privacy. There are different types of doors and can be moved in various angles along the axis like sliding, folding, and spinning.  

The door is an important mechanism that is found everywhere from vehicles to closets, windows, cabinets, wardrobes, and cupboards. It is either hinged or can be moved by either slides or counterbalance.

FEATURES OF A DOOR:

Basically, the door tends to serve an aesthetic, symbolic, and ritualistic purpose.

It incorporates a locking mechanism for safety purposes with knockers and doorbells.

It impacts the appearance of a house or building from the outside.

Doors ensure privacy and separates space from one another.

It blocks and controls the entry of light, air, heat, and cold.

Also, it helps in damping noise.

Easy to maintain, use, and repair.

TYPES OF DOORS & THEIR APPLICATION:

One chose the door type based on the type of building, house, area, and its purpose as there are numerous types of doors available in numerous kinds of material. Also, they can be divided based on their location (interior/exterior), operation, method of construction, and arrangement.  

This blog discusses some of the major types of doors and its application.

Sliding Door

The sliding door opens crosswise by sliding on a plane parallel to the frame or the wall. It works on a horizontal mechanism and moves along the track with the help of rails & runners. The upper part of the trolley hanger is hidden inside a concealed track, while the bottom is fixed with plastic rollers to make the sliding smooth.

Sliding doors are made of stainless steel, wood, and aluminum, and the most popular material used is UPVC plastic glass. These types of doors are commonly used in bathrooms as a shower door, glass door, labs, windows, in vans or screen door, hotel room, garage, workshop, airport terminal, as a French window, room divider, and many more.  

It is also called ‘Patio Door’ or ‘Bypass Doors’. Though sliding doors have two panels, it is considered a single unit. It doesn’t require extra space as you open the door and slides with the wall mostly.

Composite Door

A composite door is mostly used in recent times as it has replaced wood, steel, and UPVC doors. Its modern door technology is made from fiberglass. As the name suggests, it is made up of different materials like glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), PVC, wood, and muffled foam.

The best part of a composite door is that it maintains the room temperature and saves up to 6 times energy when compared to other standard doors and is an appealing door for a home. It is perfect for a coastal location.

Swing Door

Swing door is the most used type of door with an easy mechanism. At times, it opens/swings on either side or one side is automated. For double side movement, double-action spring hinges are fixed to the frame as this spring action shutters the door to a closed position. It wings 90⁰ in and out. Automated swing doors close by themselves.

This is mostly hinged and has a doorknob, lock, and a peephole at eye level to prevent accidents as the other side of the door gets completely hidden. The common type of materials used is metal, wood, steel, aluminum, and solid MDF glass.

Glass swing doors are mostly used in commercial buildings at the entrance, hotels, hospitals, and shops that give an elegant look and also make the people see who is on the other side.  

Revolving Door

Revolving doors can be mostly seen in saloons, parks, theme parks, malls, hospitals, sports stadiums, and airports.  It is the façade of a building. It has 3 or 4 wings that hang on a mid-shaft and circles along a vertical axis. At the bottom of the central shaft, a ball bearing arrangement is made, and it enables a large number of people to move in and out of an area at the same time with a gentle push making no noise.

It is one of the attractive types of entrance and has a handle. A revolving door is also known as “Door without Draft or Air” and it minimizes the escape of indoor temperature. These types of doors are either fully or partly glazed.  

Folding Door

Folding doors or Bi-fold door provides a captivating design option like cabinet-hugging, guided system or freely moving one. Mostly, the folding section is exterior and the automated door slides with a flick of the wrist.

A part of the door can be opened to move in and out and no need to open the whole door unless it is necessary. Also, it is used in the garden side that gives glorious open access and an expansive feeling. It is widely used in restaurants, gardens, patios, verandah, and commercial places. These folding doors are made up of wood, bamboo, aluminum, PVC, and glass.

Pocket Door:

Pocket doors are that it gets disappeared into a hidden cavity inside the wall. This is an interesting style that most people like as it remains hidden and doesn’t disturb the space. This smoothly slides along a track mounted on the ceiling.

It is mostly used to separate two rooms. It can be a single slide or a double door. Any materials like wood, metal, glass, and UPVC. The pocket doors are architectural beauty that disappears into the adjacent wall. They travel on a suspended roller from an overhead track or with guides along the floor.

Pivot Doors:

Pivot doors rotate about its vertical axis of about 360⁰. It has a stopper, and it swings elegantly in the space. These doors have complicated hinges on the top and bottom of the attached that remain invisible and it holds the whole door. 3/4th of the door is open and lands on the other side of the area to the other half of the door.

At times, the hinge allows the door to pivot from a single point. They are generally used for entry doors and need more space. They are normally large and heavy. They give a grandiose appearance and are used in gardens and verandahs.  

PVC Doors:

PVC or Polyvinyl chloride door is the most used and popular door. Its low cost, strength, attractive colours & designs, and lightweight make it a popular material choice. This type of door is mostly used in bathrooms.

These types of doors are not only simple to install but also easy to maintain. They look like wooden doors and are easy to clean. It doesn’t get easily affected by moisture. It is more flexible, soft, and 100% termite, and waterproof. PVC doors can be easily designed and painted.

Glass Doors:

Glass doors are popular for windows and doors. It can partially hinder the view and needs maintenance. They are usually heavy and can be combined with wood panels. It is perfect for both interior and exterior areas.

Fibreglass door is another popular one with an attractive look. It combines a piece of fibreglass with resin. They come in various colours and can be designed in multiple ways. They are a bit heavy yet affordable and do not easily bow, warp, or twist.

There are different types of glasses like insulated glass, textured glass, clear glass, tinted glass, toughened glass, stained, laminated, double/triple glazing glass, coloured, reflective, frosted, bevelled, and, etc. All these have different usage according to their property.

Steel Doors:

Steel doors are again mostly used in commercial establishments and homes. They are known for their safety and security, as they are strong, easy to maintain, and not easy to break. They are more durable, cost-efficient, stable, and do not easily crack or wrap even with strong external forces.

The steel can be stainless steel which is corrosion proof. They can also be mixed with wood and fiberglass and makes them more attractive. These doors are found everywhere, give a grace look, and stand a timeless elegance. Steel doors are mostly used in vaults and safe rooms.

Though these are a few common types that are mostly used, there are innumerable other varieties like collapsible door, rolling shutters, panel doors, flush doors, louvered doors, wire gauzed doors, half doors or Dutch doors, French windows, Blind or jib doors, café doors, fibre reinforced plastic doors and many more types of Doors.

A door is an important gateway and the first best impression about what lies behind it. Choose the right fit for your place both interior and exterior décor from the curb through the foyer. I hope, this blog has given you adequate insight into the importance, types, and application of doors.

The Toughest Plastics in Construction!

Did you know that the construction sector is the second highest user of plastic after packaging? You don’t really to expect to find plastic in your home or in the building where you work. Yet various types of plastics are being used in the construction industry, from PVC for pipes and conduit, to flute board for waterproofing barriers.

Plastics are used widely in the construction industry due to a range of benefits they provide, such as excellent strength to weight ratio, reduced costs, low maintenance, and corrosion resistance among others. The main areas of application for plastics are piping, cladding and profiles, insulation, seals and gaskets, and base for adhesives and sealants.

In the last years, recycled plastic materials have started to represent an increasing percentage of overall production of plastic for construction, helping to solve the global problem of the disposal of plastics.

Plastic Materials Used in Construction

A large variety of plastics are used in construction, with the most popular being the following:

Flute Board

Flute board, also known as fluted polypropylene. This product is a hollowed fluted plastic board made from polypropylene. One of its versions is print grade flute board, which is specifically developed to meet the needs of print and signage companies for various digital printing and laminating processes. Packing grade flute board, on the other hand, is used for surface protection, packaging, and concrete forming.

Advantages of flute board include:

-          Fully recyclable;

-          Lightweight material;

-          Resistant to water, chemicals, and impact;

-          Low price and durability;

-          Easy to print on;

-          Having improved UV resistance which makes it suitable for outdoor applications.

Flute board is used as floor protection on building sites, for reinforcing and insulating layers, for knockdown boxes, and for point-of-sale displays.

Corrugated Flute Board

Corrugated flute board is actually called twin wall polypropylene sheeting. This type of material can be cut to size to obtain products that are both strong and durable.

Main benefits of corrugated flute board are:

-          Non-toxic;

-          High impact resistant;

-          Hygienic;

-          Water resistant;

-          Chemical resistant;

-          Weatherproof;

-          100% recyclable.

Typical applications for corrugated flute board include: signage, display stands, packaging, surfaces, and protection.

Acrylic Cut-to-Size

Acrylic sheet cut-to-size represents a large part of the market share in the construction industry. Acrylic is known under various different brand names and is found in multiple forms, such as clear Perspex sheet cut to size. It is a versatile, transparent thermoplastic, with excellent optical properties and resilience to impact and scratch. Unlike glass, it conducts light better and shatters into large, dull parts in case of large impact.

Properties that make acrylic sheet cut to size the perfect option for applications such as roofing and greenhouse construction are:

-          Flexibility and elongation;

-          Carbonation resistance;

-          Environmental friendliness;

-          Stability to ultraviolet radiation;

-          Excellent adhesion.

Composites

A composite material is a one which is composed of two or more different materials. Joining these materials together produces a unique finished product that boasts different material properties to those that each material began with.

Advantages of plastic composite materials such as Kevlar, PVC polyester, FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer) and other such materials are:

-          Improved resistance and durability;

-          Can be made fire resistant;

-          Low maintenance;

-          Lightweight composition;

-          Availability in different colours, textures, and shapes.

One of the latest trends in the construction sector is represented by biocomposites, an important part of the green building movement. They enable the construction of green buildings, which are environmentally friendly, healthy to live and work in, and economically viable.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate or PC is an amorphous thermoplastic which is naturally transparent. Main reasons why polycarbonate is being used in construction include:

-          Flexibility

PC can be formed into multiple shapes and structures.

-          Withstanding shock and fracture

Polycarbonate sheets have a higher impact resistance compared to glass. This makes PC easier to transport and install. It does not become brittle with age, enabling constructors to avoid high maintenance and repair costs.

-          Two times lighter than glass

Polycarbonate lowers construction costs as it weighs less than glass, reducing the size of foundations and structural members.

-          Excellent insulating properties

Polycarbonate is a popular choice for cladding and roofing, with multiwall PC sheets doing even a better job at improving thermal performance as it creates additional air pockets around buildings.

-          Light transmittance

Forget about yellowing and hazed plastic, which happens with GRP. PC sheeting is treated with UV protection to extend its life and reduce glare.

PVC

PVC (abbreviation for polyvinyl chloride) accounts for approximately 20% of all plastic manufactured around the world.

There are two main types of PVC: rigid and flexible. Rigid PVC is intrinsic flame retardant offers good electrical insulation and vapor barrier properties, but becomes brittle at 5°C (when not modified with impact modifiers and/or processing aids). Flexible PVC is easier to process than rigid PVC and has good resistance to corrosive inorganic chemicals. Disadvantages include that it tends to degrade at high temperatures and its properties can change in time because of plasticiser migration.

PVC applications include: window and door profiles, pipes, fittings, wiring and cables, internal and external cladding, ducting, flooring, roofing membranes, and wall coverings.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene is a synthetic textile material originally developed by the American corporation Phillips Petroleum in 1951.

Its properties include:

-          Chemically inert;

-          Mould resistant;

-          Heat resistant;

-          Accepting colour and dye without degrading;

-          Inexpensive;

-          Does not contain bisphenol A.

This material is used in a variety of plastic building materials products that need to withstand heat, fatigue, and shatter, such as carpeting, piping systems, electrical cable insulation, and plastic machine parts.

Polyethylene

Polyethylene is most commonly used in packaging due to properties such as:

-          High ductility;

-          Low friction;

-          Good electrical insulator.

Its two main disadvantages, however, are being no-biodegradable and having a low melting point (around 80 °C).

Common applications of polyethylene in construction include:

-          Protection for materials and sealants;

-          Damp-proof membranes;

-          Lining material for foundations;

-          Concrete protection during the curing process;

-          Temporary flashing material for door and windows.

Expanded Polystyrene

Expanded polystyrene or ESP foam is a lightweight, closed cell insulation providing the following benefits:

-          Resistance to heat flow;

-          Energy efficiency;

-          Strength;

-          Sustainability;

-          Hygienic as it does not encourage the growth of bacteria;

-          Low cost;

-          Being environmentally friendly as it has always been CFC- and HCFC-free.

In the construction industry, expanded polystyrene is mainly used for exterior insulation and finish due to its high energy efficiency. It is also a part of structural insulated panels that can be used to build exterior walls, roofs, ceilings, and floors.

ETFE

ETFE stands for ethylenetetrafluoroethylene and consists of the modified copolymers of ethylene and tetrafluroethylene. It has the appearance of a flexible film, which makes it suitable for curved transparent facades.

Properties of ETFE include:

-          Nor degrading under UV light;

-          Resistant to weather and pollution;

-          Being self-cleaning;

-          East to repair by fixing tears with welding replacement patches;

-          100% recyclable;

-          Its manufacturing process does not require the use of solvents.

Typical uses of ETFE include: covering electrical wiring in conditions of high stress, for wall coverings, being installed as a thermoplastic liner in pipes for corrosion and heat protection, and solar panel applications.

How the Construction Industry Benefits from the Use of Plastics

Plastics have gained a prominent role in constructions near to metal, glass, masonry, and wood due to their immense benefits:

-          Durability

Some plastics can be stronger than certain materials, including metals.

-          Low Cost

Many plastic materials are economical, lowering the costs of construction projects;

-          Recyclable

Some plastics can be recycled completely without losing their properties.

-          Saving Energy

Because plastic consumes less heat than metal, they help with improving the energy efficiency of buildings.

-          Easy to Transport and Install

Plastics are lightweight so they allow quick and easy installation. Transportation is easier and also cheaper as the weight of plastic materials is lower.
