This document provides information on cement tiles, including their composition, production process, uses, installation, and maintenance. Cement tiles are made from a mixture of cement, sand, color pigment, and marble powder that is poured into molds and compressed under high pressure. They are durable, customizable in color and design, and more environmentally friendly than other tile options like ceramic. The document outlines best practices for laying cement tiles on walls and floors, including using a cement mortar adhesive and grout and sealing the tiles before grouting. Regular cleaning and resealing of exterior tiles is recommended for maintenance.
Tiles are manufactured pieces of hard-wearing materials like ceramic, stone, or glass that are used to cover roofs, floors, walls, and other surfaces. They are created by quarrying raw materials from the ground like clay, then mixing and pressing them into molds before firing at high temperatures. There are many types of tiles including roof tiles, floor tiles, pebble tiles, ceiling tiles, and wall tiles that are used for both residential and commercial construction. Tiles can benefit applications in areas like counters, bathrooms, backsplashes, flooring, and wall accents due to their hygienic, moisture resistant, stain proof, fire proof, and long lasting qualities.
Gypsum board, also known as drywall or plasterboard, is a building material made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. It is used to make interior walls, ceilings, and partitions. Gypsum board provides a smooth, monolithic surface that can be decorated. To produce it, calcined gypsum is mixed with water and additives to form a slurry between the paper layers. As it dries, the gypsum recrystallizes and bonds to the paper. A false ceiling, or dropped ceiling, is a secondary ceiling hung below the main structural ceiling, creating a space to hide wiring and ductwork while allowing access. Exposed grid ceilings have visible grid systems into which panels
The document discusses glass partition walls and hollow glass blocks. It describes that glass partition walls use a wooden frame with glass sheets fixed into panels divided by horizontal and vertical posts. Glass blocks are translucent square or rectangular glass units that are laid using mortar and sometimes metal reinforcement. Glass partition walls and blocks provide architectural effects while being light, soundproof, fireproof and heatproof. Proper installation following guidelines is important due to the expansion and contraction of glass.
Wall finishes provide decorative coverings for walls that conceal structural elements and enhance the interior or exterior appearance of a building. They come in various materials like wood, stone, tiles, gypsum boards and more. Good wall finishes are durable, straight, and can take paints or wallpaper easily. The type of wall finish used depends on factors like the rooms' functions and resistance to damage from water or fire.
Wooden cladding offers several advantages for building exteriors, including design freedom, ease of installation, and ability to withstand stresses. Proper installation is important to prevent moisture damage - cladding should be sealed and finished before installation, with flashing added at joints and openings. Regular maintenance of finishes helps protect the cladding from swelling, shrinking, and discoloration over time.
Aluminium Panel Sheets or Aluminium Composite Material is a cladding sheet material used ever increasingly by developers, designers and architects worldwide for various applications. The advantages of using this material over conventional cladding material like stone, tiles and paint are very good strength to weight ratio, low maintenance & better energy efficiency and working life of building
Partition walls are non-load bearing walls that divide rooms or spaces. They provide privacy, occupy less space, and are lighter and cheaper than load-bearing walls. Good partition walls are thin, provide sound and sight privacy, and are made of durable, fire resistant and insulated materials. Common materials for partition walls include brick, hollow blocks, concrete, glass, wood, strawboard, plaster, metal and drywall. Movable and portable partition walls allow spaces to be reconfigured easily.

Heliodisplay is a mid-air video display technology developed by IO2 Technologies that projects images into clear open air without the need for a screen. It works by using a heat pump to cool air below its dew point, forming a cloud of micro-droplets that act as an invisible screen for projected images. Models range from 30-inch desktop displays to 100-inch life-size projections. While expensive now, proponents argue heliodisplay has applications in advertising, collaboration, simulation, consumer electronics, and more. It provides a unique hologram-like projection experience without requiring special glasses or backgrounds.

Glass is an amorphous, hard, brittle material that is commonly used in construction as a building material. It has no definite melting point and softens over a temperature range. Glass is used widely in modern architecture as a curtain wall material in high-rise buildings. There are various types of glass and glazing systems used in construction for facades, windows, doors, and structural elements. Glass cladding is a popular exterior skin for buildings that can provide insulation and decoration. Using glass can help make buildings more sustainable and energy efficient.
Windows are composed of glazing (glass or plastic), a sash that holds the glazing, and a frame. There are several types of windows including casement, awning/hopper, horizontal sliding, and double hung. Window frames can be made from wood, metal, vinyl, fiberglass, or composites. Energy efficiency and standards depend on factors like glazing, weatherstripping, and materials. All windows in Canada must meet standards for performance, insulation, and durability. Proper weatherstripping around windows helps prevent air leakage.
Glass is commonly used as a building material for windows, partitions, and architectural features due to its transparency and lightness. It has various properties like strength, insulation, solar control, safety, fire resistance, and sound control that make it suitable for construction. However, glass is also brittle and prone to breaking, requires careful handling, and can increase energy costs depending on the type used. Architects have more options for glass designs and buildings due to continual advances in glass manufacturing technologies.

The Components of a Case
7. Performance Objectives
• Separate Artifact and Desiccant Chambers
from all Components
• No Wood, or Acidic Materials, inside the
Case
• Lower Air Exchange Rate, through Tight
Seams
• Create Access through Doors or Glazing
• Pursue Simple Joinery and Cost Effective
Materials
8. BOX
Our First Concept was to Weld a
Box, as Desiccant Chamber, and
covered it using an acrylic bonnet,
or glazed openings
10. The Laminated Box
We Speculated the Same Effect could be Achieved by Laminating Aluminum to Particle
Board, then Facing the Laminate in
The Laminate Proved Negligible When Cutting, so Conventional Cabinetry could be
used. This Meant Cases could be Built with a Table Saw, by any Cabinet Maker
14. CAMGER, HAS PROVEN EFFECTIVE AT ARRESTING THE ESCAPE
RATE OF ACID INTO THE AIR.
IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT THE 1-175 MIGHT WORK LIKE
GLUE. HERE IS WHAT I DISCOVERED.
“Sancure”
Camger Product I-175
15. Camger’s 1-175 works like Wood Glue
After Curing it is Water Resilient, yet Retains an Excellent Balance of
Strength and Elasticity
It can be thinned with water, or left exposed to air, to thicken
It Adheres Well to Most Materials
On Tests it Performed as Well, or Better Than Wood Glue
It Could be Cleaned off the Laminate without wrecking the finish.
1-175 Was Less Likely to Throw off the Fit of Parts for Assembly
16. Seams With More Surface Area, did Better
They also Provided a Mechanical Advantage for
Assembly

Purchasing High Performance Cases can run from $2000 to $8000 a Linear
Foot, Our Average Case costs about $350 a Linear Foot
Our Cases Typically Test Between .1 and .2 Air Exchanges a Day
Currently We have not seen Significant Performance Changes or Signs of
Compromise for over 5 years
24. GLUING SEAMS WITH CAMGER I-175

Water
Brush on Camger I-175
Use Thickened Camger

Buy Sheet Products and Laminate Yourself
Talk to Local Suppliers, and Ask to be Put in Contact with a Company that can
Laminate for You

We Test Air Exchange is Cases Using a CO2 Monitoring Device
All Potential Interior Case Materials are Oddy Tested
There are Several available Oddy Data Bases Online
