TECHNOLOGY NEED: The continued growth in population is going to aggravate the housing situation unless adequate measures are initiated at grass root level. The only constructional materials available in rural areas are bamboo, timber, straw, reeds and mud. About 80% of the total population still dwells in houses made of these above-mentioned materials. These structures are not economically viable because of the maintenance cost due to annual rainfall, storm, flood etc. and susceptibility of attack by insects. The utilization of earth in building construction specially, for rural housing is the oldest but most commonly used by the majority of rural population. Earth architecture aims to make extensive use of raw earth as the main building materi...

Partitions have become today’s most mobile and flexible wall system as their secret is making it possible to divide one room into several different ones with incredible sound insulation. Partitions are usually thin and light of construction. where the essential purpose is to serve as divisions. Building a partition will not increase the actual floor area available within a house but by subdividing it more appropriately it can provide extra rooms which will make living in the house more enjoyable. Whatever the purpose of the partition, a number of points need to be considered: Lighting - natural daylight may not be necessary although it is often desirable. If an existing window is not going to be included in the partitioned off area, a new window could be added in an outside wall. Alternatively glazing could be incorporated into the partition to 'borrow' light from the adjacent room, this can easily be incorporated along the top of the partition. Ventilation - although a win...

P.V.C.FLOORING RUBBER FLOORING LINOLEUM FLOORING P.V.C. [POLY VINYL CHLORIDE] FLOORING] INTRODUCTION Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a major thermoplastic material finding use in a very wide variety of applications and products. PVC's major benefit is its compatibility with many different kinds of additives, making it a highly versatile polymer. PVC can be plasticised to make it flexible for use in flooring and medical products. Its compatibility with additives allows for the possible addition of flame retardants although PVC is intrinsically fire retardant because of the presence of chlorine in the polymer matrix. Its good impact strength and weatherproof attributes make it ideal for construction products. PVC can be clear or coloured, rigid or flexible, formulation of the compound is key to PVC's "added value". Things to Do Before Installation Verification of the installation date. Ensuring the removal of all "breakables" fr...
