https://lnkd.in/eGNrGYeW Steps for Installing ASTECtherm Plastered-in Infrared Heating Mats: Preparation: * Plan the layout using the system schematic provided by ASTECtherm. Ensure pre-positioned cables are routed as per the schematic for crimping to the mats. * Prepare the ceiling or wall surface to ensure it is clean and smooth for plastering. Cable Connection: *Connect the pre-positioned cables to the heating mats as outlined in the instructions. Plaster Application: *Apply a layer of Multi-Finish plaster to the prepared surface as a base for the heating mat. Mat Placement: *Position the heating mat onto the wet plaster and press it gently into place to ensure full adhesion. repeat for each of the mats Once the mats are installed, apply an additional layer of plaster to embed them fully into the surface. This step makes the system invisible and part of the building structure. Final Touches: *Allow the plaster to cure completely. Once dry, the surface can be painted or wallpapered as desired. System Testing: *After the plaster has set (5 days), connect the system and test to ensure it is working efficiently and evenly across the room(s) These steps ensure an efficient and seamless installation, making the system aesthetically integrated and energy-efficient.

Ladder-Type or Stair-Case Cable Tray As their name implies, these trays resemble ladders. Its structure consists of two longitudinal side rails connected by individual transverse members and provide solid side rail protection and system strength with smooth radius fittings and a wide selection of materials and finishes. The carrier type allows the highest air flow between the cables, thus maintaining high ventilation levels and heat dissipation so that the cables do not exceed operating temperatures. The steps of a ladder-type tray are perforated so that, in that way, cables with cable ties (belts) can be grouped and securely tied. These trays are usually used in the high part of buildings. In addition, they do not accumulate moisture, given their open design.

🎖What is I-joists? 🍁I-joists, also known as "engineered wood I-beams" or "wooden I-beams," are structural components used in building construction to provide support. They have a cross-sectional shape resembling the letter "I" and are typically composed of a vertical web (a thick piece of oriented strand board or plywood) sandwiched between two horizontal flanges (thin strips of wood). This design maximizes strength-to-weight ratio, allowing I-joists to efficiently bear loads over long spans. 🍁I-joists are commonly used in residential and commercial construction for floor and roof framing. They offer several advantages over traditional solid wood joists, including greater strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to warping or twisting. Additionally, I-joists are often engineered to accommodate holes for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, making them versatile and suitable for modern building practices. #construction #market #product #plywood #lvl #osb #timber #lvl #Wood #furnture #industry #technology #mdf #cabinets #Ijoist #FlowerShelf #Leader #packing #osbboard #mdo #hdo #CNC

Constructing Thermally Efficient Rainscreen Support Assemblies Understanding thermally broken options, rather than generically referring to “thermally broken”, can result in a 10% thermal performance gain for your client. We spend a lot of time talking about air/moisture/vapor barriers, critical aspects of their detailing and interaction with other building components, how they are applied, stopping air leakage, the transfer of water vapor and keeping bulk water out of the assembly. We often get into great detailed discussions about this critical element of rainscreen design and installation. For good reason, of course. We spend much less time on insulation type and selection, considering R-Value of the components or U-value of the assembly with a given insulation product, rigid vs. semi-rigid and fire characteristics, most importantly NFPA-285. Ultimately, we do settle on a specific insulation type to meet project parameters and requirements. We spend a lot of time considering the cladding to be applied in the rainscreen assembly, including material type, cladding dimensions, colors, fire characteristics etc. We spend very little time on the cladding support assembly, simply stating to use whatever the cladding manufacturer suggests or provide a “thermally broken” assembly. That’s not good. “Thermally broken” can mean many things. Some are not so good. Some very good. Let’s look at an example using FRP clips, which are widely believed to be more thermally efficient than steel-based clips. The difference may surprise you. EXAMPLE: a wall assembly of Interior Gypsum with Steel Studs 16” OC; Exterior Gypsum, and R-16.8 nominal exterior insulation. That assembly using FRP clips with 16” x 26” spacing has an effective R-value of 15.7, a 26 percent loss. Thermally isolated Knight Wall Systems MFI steel brackets placed 16” x 24”, result in an effective R-value of 17.2, or a loss of insulating ability of 17 percent. To put that another way, you gain about 10% in thermal performance using an efficiently isolated steel bracket. Assembly U-.063 value for the FRP clip. Assembly U-.058 for the MFI thermally isolated bracket. The same example can be expanded to other brackets and thermal isolation in general. Before selecting a cladding support assembly, research thermally modeled results and understand what you are getting. Since these assemblies are in a sense permanent (barring recladding of the structure at some point in time), maximizing thermal performance is a goal that can only be reached by understanding “thermally broken”.

Standing seam metal roofs generally fall into the categories of snap lock and mechanical seam profiles. They incorporate unique design features, installation techniques, and testing standards to meet various architectural needs and weather conditions. In a newly posted article on our site, Rick Zand of New Tech Machinery explains in detail. https://lnkd.in/etwM7X7K

Here's a glossary of façade-related terms starting with the letter "S" that you can use 1. Spandrel Glazing: Opaque glazing material, often used for non-vision areas between floors of a building or other Structural Elements. 2. Shore Hardness: The measure of firmness of a compound by means of a Durometer Hardness Gauge. (Shore A Hardness An indentation method of rating the hardness of rubber using a Shore Durometer with the A scale from 0 to 100.) 3. Solar Heat Gain: Solar radiant Heat , transmitted or re-emitted by glazing into a building contributing to the build up of heat. 4. Solar Shading Device: Devices or systems, such as louvers, blinds, or overhangs, incorporated into a facade to control the amount of sunlight entering a building, thereby reducing glare and heat gain. 5. Sound Transmission Class(STC): Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a numerical rating that measures the ability of a building material or partition to resist airborne sound transmission. It is used to evaluate the effectiveness of walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and other building components in blocking sound. The higher the STC rating, the better the material is at reducing sound transmission.

Exploring the World of Carbon Steel Electrical Cabinets Carbon steel is a super tough material that is perfect for making electrical cabinets. It has some awesome qualities: Strength: Carbon steel is really hard and can take a beating without getting damaged. Security: This metal is so strong that it keeps unauthorized people out of the electrical cabinet. Malleability: Carbon steel can be shaped into any form, making it perfect for custom cabinet designs. Fire-resistance: Carbon steel won’t catch fire easily, so it protects equipment from extreme heat and flames. Cost-effectiveness: Since carbon steel is made in thin sheets, it’s cheaper than other materials. #NEMA #NEMAenclosures #carbonsteel #electricalcabinets https://lnkd.in/dF7bwrG7
