How to build your own hot tub 28/05/2019

Hot tubs are a great way to relax at the end of a hard day's work. What could be better than sitting in a warm spa sipping a cold beer (or glass of wine!), whilst the powerful hydrojets massage your aching muscles. You may know someone who has a hot tub, but have been put off by the cost of buying an off-the-shelf package, so you think to yourself, "why don't I just build one myself? how hard can it be?"

List of Materials Used to Build a House - April - 2019 14/04/2019

List of Materials Used to Build a House

Wood

Wood is both a historical and common choice as a building material. Although there has been a recent shift towards other engineered products, wood has various natural advantages. It’s very lightweight and easy to cut compared to steel, for example. When it comes to curb appeal, it’s definitely much easier to add decorative elements to wooden constructions.

Disadvantages of wood as a building material include susceptibility to fire, water damage, termites and decay. Wood is also less environmentally sustainable than green building materials such as recycled steel and composite lumber.

Plastic

Plastics are very popular in the construction industry mainly because their different properties make them fit for most uses. One of the main benefits of plastics is that they’re less expensive than most other materials. They’re also lightweight and have a high resistance to corrosion, making them the most common to make water pipes out of. Some of the disadvantages of plastic include high flammability and environmental damage as they are not biodegradable.

Glass

Glass has become increasingly popular as an urban building material for both commercial and residential properties. The main advantages of glass include:

Beautification

Resistance to UV rays
Energy efficiency
Privacy-comes in a variety of reflective surfaces for added privacy
However, major cons of glass include the high cost of purchase and installation, high maintenance requirements and security concerns.

Metal

Metal is commonly used as a structural framework for skyscrapers and larger buildings, or as an external surface covering. Aluminum and steel alloys constitute the larger share of metals used in construction. Benefits of metal include their strength and durability, resistance to fire and ability to withstand adverse climatic conditions.

However, the disadvantages include high costs of production and maintenance as well as corrosion.

Cement

Cement is the most common binder in construction. It’s highly resilient and improves the overall structural integrity of a building. It’s easily manufactured and a longer warming/cooling cycle makes it better at accumulating heat. However, cement can be too hard and as a result, brittle, not to mention, easy to suck up dirt and moisture.

Bricks and Blocks

These materials are immune to rotting and are fireproof, making them ideal for sturdy foundations. Bricks are often made of renewable materials, making them an environmentally safe option. The disadvantages include heaviness, often requiring deep foundations. They can be damaged by plant growth and are also vulnerable to mold in damp conditions.
