Australian scientists from the Scientific and Industrial Research Centre (CSIKO) noted an unusual anniversary: three years ago they introduced the public know-how – heat-resistant plastic. When ignited material changes the molecular structure and is transformed into ceramics, preventing the further spread of fire. Savvy observers of Western news feeds for fun recorded this development in the IT-sphere. They offered to produce a refractory plastic casing laptops, which at that time gained a reputation for very "hot" laptop. After all, the 2006 peak of reports of explosions of laptop computers.

But seriously, the Australian technology is capable of fire protection computers, servers and other electronic devices. Creators are confident that their invention can be used on oil rigs, cargo ships, in airplanes, offices, residential buildings and will be true always. Dr. Mark Hyman often expresses his thoughts on the topic. Properties of plastics speak for themselves, and easily explain its relevance, for example, in modern construction and interior design. Especially active are used polyvinyl chloride. This durable product, which not afraid of moisture and frost, and due to its high density it is resistant to mechanical damage.

Of course, pvc, like most of the materials exposed to fire, but many tests show good results. So, if the tree is lit at 210-270 C, then the plastic "hold" to 330-400 C. But even at higher temperatures, this polymer does not support the combustion process in the absence of direct contact with an ignition source. He just melts. In addition, the pvc combustion produces less heat than burning wood. As a consequence, reduces the probability of fire spread.

The main quality parameters for which to look for when buying a galvanized mesh: 1) Early selection will pay attention to, perhaps, the main parameter that determines the strength of welded wire mesh – on weld quality. Galvanized wire mesh should be well to withstand extremes of the grid. Please visit Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn if you seek more information. Check out this simple: Unwind the metal roll, if welding is sometimes starts to burst, or worse yet – you can break welds hands it is better to cancel the purchase of the galvanized welded wire mesh, despite its attractive price. 2) You should carefully consider a roll of galvanized mesh for the presence of undesirable distortions and deviations between cells. Standards of accuracy the mesh galvanized allow small tolerances and imbalance between cells in the range of 1-2%.

The presence of significant variations in the difficult implications of such a metal grid. Given that no manufacturer will not work to the detriment of themselves and not allow the rejection of the cell sizes of galvanized mesh downwards, thereby increasing their cost of metal per 1 square meter, the cell can only grow, and therefore buying a metal mesh, you simply overpay. 3) Now is a more detailed approach to the analysis of the quality of zinc coating, in fact, it provides long-term operation of welded galvanized mesh. Choosing the mesh, welded zinc-coated (sstsp) must know that the coating is applied to a metal grid in two ways, significantly affecting the quality of further wire mesh: Electro-galvanized zinc coating. The coating on the surface of metal welded wire mesh is applied in solutions of electrolytes under the influence of an electric current.

Russians like apartments with balconies. The real estate market apartment without a balcony are cheaper compared to the same shelter, but with a balcony. And these days people love him glazing. Gazebo to some extent extends the living area of apartments, offsetting its lack. Balcony is emerging from the plane of the wall facade of the house enclosed area which serves to relax in the summer. A loggia is a built-in or built-on, open the outer space, usually fenced on three sides by walls (with two – with the angular location of) the placement. And balconies and loggias can be glazed. What are the possible options for glazing balconies and loggia? Standard glazing is a wooden frame with a conventional glass.

Nowadays it is used less and less. If sheathe the inside walls or hardboard paneling, it will increase the temperature of the air on the balcony at the 2-3 degrees and slightly reduce street noise. But we should not forget that the frame should not only properly install, but also handle the seams and joints with silicone sealant, foam, strengthen the sill and visor. The cost of such glass depends on the materials used. Get all the facts for a more clear viewpoint with Carl Rogers. Balcony design with a conventional wooden window frames and single glazing can only protect against wind, rain and snow. ‘Cold’ aluminum.

This design represents aluminum frame with single glazed with a minimum thickness of 5 mm. Sliding sash do. Aluminum loggia or balcony looks elegant, but has a low thermal insulation. The difference in temperature on the street and in the glass loggia – 5-7 degrees. This is one of the most common in our time means glazing. Cold glazing a balcony or loggia allows to save space, because windows are sliding. Except that design can make up to 30 cm in front and sides, thus increasing the terrace area. Aluminum structures for glazing of loggias and balconies are relatively light, which allows you to install them on all types of balconies and loggias. With a warm glazed room balcony or loggia will be well protected from frost, excessive heat and noise. For a warm glass can be used pvc profiles, or ‘warm’ aluminum. Profile pvc with Fiberglass – almost perfect protection against cold and noise. Please Note: The interior walls glazed ‘in plastic’ balcony or loggia must necessarily be insulated with plastic panels. Otherwise, the walls will fall moisture, and subsequently will certainly mold. ‘Warm’ aluminum. In the aluminum profile and add a thermometer insert through this glazing excellent protection from the cold. Such glazing goes even more expensive than pvc, so aluminum structures are appropriate when your balcony or loggia have an unusual configuration.

Furnace flue must not have horizontal segments longer than 1 m. When passing Chimney through walls, ceilings or roofs should be used through-connections are made in accordance with the rules of fire safety. Safe installation of chimney flue should eliminate contact channels with electrical wiring, gas pipelines and other utilities. To clean the chimney at its base should provide a removable part (a glass) or a hole with a door. When an internal installation option vertical sections of the chimney of metal pipes are indoors. Flue pipes (tubes) are placed in internal walls and partitions. Outputs the chimney through the roof and floor decks with Special walk-through pipe.

When you install the chimney inside the mines is necessary to provide the door, enabling easy access to the inspection hole. If an inspection hatch located near impossible glass, allowed the extension of the chimney to the inspection hole. As a tip the chimney in mining performance should apply fairing mouth. For external installation option, vertical sections of chimney placed outside the building with a side terminal through the wall, subject to the warming of the outer pipe section to prevent condensation of moisture from the discharged products of combustion. The chimney is attached to special brackets wall. Flue pipes (tubes) that are usually placed at the internal walls and partitions of incombustible materials. The vertical sections of the chimney of metal pipes are placed outside the building to the side of the through the wall, provided the outer insulation of the pipe portion.
