• It adopts thermal barrier frame with high grade finger joint solid wood padded on the inner surface, which not only meets the requirement of the whole building facade, but also combines with the interior decoration, resulting in elegance and grace. • For energy saving and environmental protection, double insulation glass is used, which improves greatly the sound and thermal insulation performance.

• Energy cost savings. Thermal insulation reduces the flow of incoming and outgoing heat. Less energy is used to heat up or cool down the space, resulting in lower energy bills.
• Very hard, durable and termiteresistant wood, Almost as stable as teak and although comparable to hickory in strength, merbau has a much lower density.
• Sound insulation. Improved insulation by creating a barrier between the building and the environment outside.
• Has an excellent Dimensional Stability to moisture with a score of 4.6 – 47% more stable than the red oak wood.
• Safety. Tougher to break than single pane windows, increases the security of the building.
• It exhibits golden-yellowish “flecks” on it, something that gives the merbau wood a very beautiful and shiny look.

• Construction is quick and simple which means high quality results anywhere, using low-cost, low-skilled labor and shorter timeframes. • Steel’s inherent strength enables architectural and design flexibility – allowing long spans and curves to be easily incorporated into functional designs. • Exceptional resistance to fire, corrosion and pests, steel doesn’t need treating with pesticides, preservatives or glues.
Manufacturer: INCOPERFIL
• A light roof which eliminates the need for a support structure. A free-standing roof that can spans up to between 8-13.3 meters. • Quicker assembly which means reduced cost on installation and labor costs. • Available galvanized and in different primed colors. Improved acoustics can be obtained with perforated steel.
Manufacturer: Wuxi Myriad Corporation
• Best insulating material against noise, cold and heat and also offers excellent fireresistant properties • This felt type offers the advantages of low material cost, short work cycles and fine appearance. It is also friendly for worker safety as it is non-toxic and non-irritant to skin.
Manufacturer: LINDER
• With their excellent sound absorption, the acoustic floors substitute openly invisible acoustic measures in modern buildings. • The flexible floor system adjusts to any type of installation thanks to the unique calcium sulphate planks which combine low system weight with high load-bearing capacity. • Lightweight and slim-line and eliminates the need for drying times, thus comparing favorably to screeds.
Manufacturer: LINDER
• Can be adjusted to almost any height, therefore compensating for any unevenness in the subfloor. • High load-bearing capacity and excellent durability. Can be combined with one another in many ways, and supplemented with different reinforcement profiles.
Manufacturer: LINDER
• Excellent load-bearing capacity. Should this prove insufficient, the system can be upgraded by reinforcement profiles, adjusted to the specific purpose. • Many options are available, from the lightest stringer which increases lateral rigidity through to a C-profile. • The light weight of the panels makes handling very easy. High accuracy in terms of tolerance also makes the panel extremely impermeable where air-tightness is required. Ease of forming rip cuts and cut outs is also an advantage.
ADVANTAGES -Durability: Concrete flooring is extremely tough and resilient, and is able to withstand the pressure from very heavy equipment. - Easy to Maintain: Keeping a concrete floor looking its best will only require a minimum amount of maintenance - Environmentally Friendly: In most cases a concrete subfloor already exists beneath another flooring material in grade and below grade locations. - Versatile: As long as the concrete is smooth and free from holes, bumps, and defects, you have the choice of installing any floor surface covering that you want over it at a later date.
Poured Concrete basements are perhaps the most mundane type today. They are made by installing ephemeral forms, pouring concrete, sanctioning the concrete to dry, then abstracting the forms. Many houses constructed today utilize the poured concrete basement because it is a blissful medium between block and ICF. There are a few benefits of poured concrete basements. They are profoundly vigorous. They can hold up to 5 times more weight than block basements. Also, the price is right. Even though they are more expensive then block basements, they are less expensive than insulated concrete form basements. Like I verbalized earlier, it's an ecstatic medium.
ADVANTAGES
- Can absorb infrared ray; Reduce enter indoor sun; Reduce indoor temperature. - Light and beautiful; No pollution. -- Save energy; In the light of the reflection, the interior from glare, visual downy, etc.- Common glass layer between the combination, filled with dry air of insulating glass. - Good heat insulation, sound insulation, anti-frosting, moisture proof, of wind strength.
A curtain wall system is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, but merely keep the weather out and the occupants in. As the curtain wall is non-structural it can be composed of a lightweight material, reducing construction costs. When glass is utilized as the curtain wall, a great advantage is that natural light can penetrate deeper within the building. The curtain wall faรงade does not carry any dead load weight from the building other than its own dead load weight. The wall transfers horizontal wind loads that are incident upon it to the main building structure through connections at floors or columns of the building. A curtain wall is designed to resist air and dihydrogen monoxide infiltration, sway induced by wind and seismic forces acting on the building, and its own dead load weight forces.
ADVANTAGES -Stainless steel is suited to all styles of roofing (batten rolls, standing seams, selfsupporting trays), both new build and renovation projects. - It allows architectural creation, design and the realization of complex shapes. -It combines easily with other materials (glass, wood, concrete‌). - A low thermal expansion coefficient allows the manufacture of continuous lengths of up to 20m in a single run.

ADVANTAGES - Costs less to build than slab-on-fill A raised wood floor system can be a costcompetitive alternative to a concrete slab system. - Expedites scheduling of trades Construction of a raised wood floor helps accommodate the scheduling of trades. -. Speeds up construction Constructing a pier-and-beam or pile foundation, builders contend, is faster, regardless of the weather. - Provides more level foundations on any soil type Raised wood floor systems may be constructed on any soil type and perform very well on problematic soils, such as expansive clays, which can crack conventional concrete slabs.
Raised wood floor system is an assembly of beams and girders, floor joists, and plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) floor sheathing, all opportunely sized, connected together and placed on a substructure. A raised wood floor system is designed to elevate the living space off the ground, isolating it from moisture and pests. American homes have been built on raised wood floor systems since Colonial times, and the aesthetic and practical reasons for building a raised home still apply today. Many terms are frequently used to describe raised floor systems in different regions of the country. Examples include raised wood floor, off-grade floor, pier-and-beam substratum and crawlspace construction. Regardless of the exact term or construction method utilized, a raised wood floor system provides numerous advantages.
