Tacoma, Washington (PRWEB) September 25, 2014

Polyurethane innovator General Plastics Manufacturing Business will feature its higher-density foam precast/tilt-up concrete wall panel block for load-bearing walls at the 2014 Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) Convention. The premier conference and exhibition for the international tilt-up concrete building business takes spot September 29-October 1 in San Jose, California at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. Throughout its debut look at TCA, General Plastics will showcase its structural thermal isolation blocks at Booth 24 with construction products distributor CSI of Virginia, Inc.

Basic Plastics’ precast/tilt-up concrete wall panel blocks stop thermal power transfer in between the building and ground when installed beneath load-bearing precast, tilt-up, brick and block walls. They are portion of the company’s Final-A-FOAM® R-9300 Continuous Insulation Block Series – https://www.generalplastics.com/r-9300.html – which extends a developing insulation envelope from the roof to the foundation while supporting heavy structural loads.

&#13

“We are delighted to introduce the tilt-up concrete industry to these insulated structural blocks and our comprehensive solutions to applications requiring thermal isolation,” said Basic Plastics President Bruce Lind. “In response to consumer wants, we have developed a complete range of custom-cut insulating polyurethane blocks that outperform other materials and might contribute credits to LEED certification of projects.”

&#13

In addition to its tilt-up/precast concrete wall panel blocks, the R-9300 Continuous Insulation Block Series addresses the complete spectrum of applications for industrial and cold-storage buildings. As demonstrated in this YouTube video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9walHPmUZ8 – Common Plastics delivers the following merchandise:&#13

&#13
Structural Thermal Isolation Column Block – created to help heavy structural loads even though sustaining thermal control inside developing interiors&#13
Final-A-FOAM® R-9320 IMP Thermal Floor Reinforcement Block – expense-effectively supports shelving and gives a thermal break inside floor panels of insulated walk-in coolers and freezers&#13
Tank Isolation Protection Block – reduces condensation by thermally isolating chiller equipment from its supporting structure&#13
Canopy/Mansard Support Block – creates a thermal barrier for metal canopy or mansard supports at structural penetrations&#13
Roof Gear Assistance Block – supports HVAC and other heavy equipment on creating roofs while stopping radiant heat transfer to the creating interior&#13
Perimeter Fall-Protection Block – serves as a crucial component of a commercial or industrial roof security program&#13
&#13
Proven THERMAL Options OUTPERFORM OTHER Supplies&#13

Basic Plastics’ Continuous Insulation Blocks, which includes its precast/tilt-up concrete panel wall blocks, are made of higher-density rigid cellular polyurethane material. The foam’s closed-cell structure is inert and prevents absorption of moisture, so it does not rot or dissolve in subgrade applications, or market corrosion of steel elements. These building blocks combine high compressive strength with minimal deflection and extraordinary thermal insulation values, reducing thermal bridging through adjoining components. Their verified energy efficiency and durability make these thermal insulating blocks a price-efficient investment for extended-term applications. &#13

Last-A-FOAM® R-9300 Continuous Insulation Blocks arrive on-internet site prepared to install. Blocks are custom manufactured to distinct job requirements and can be predrilled with anchor-bolt holes. What’s much more, the lead time from order approval to on-web site delivery is just 10 days or less.

&#13

“Proven functionality and quickly turnaround are vital accomplishment elements for tilt-up building,” Lind added. “We look forward to meeting business leaders at TCA with our partner CSI, and exploring possibilities to satisfy their wants for high-top quality insulated structural solutions that extend from below ground to the roof. Customers will also appreciate CSI’s technical knowledge and responsive service in assisting them pick, spec and use the right Final-A-FOAM® 9300 Continuous Insulation Blocks for their certain application and project.

Walttools Now Makes It Easy For a Decorative Contractors to Turn Concrete into Their Business Card

Walttools Now Makes It Easy For a Decorative Contractors to Turn Concrete into Their Business Card


Morris, IL (PRWEB) August 15, 2014

Plain gray concrete is everywhere and most people do not care who put it there. Decorative concrete, on the other hand, has been growing in popularity every year and is being installed in both residential and commercial settings every single day. People like what people see and are very interested in knowing who can do that type of work for them. As architects, designers and contractors continue to see the possibilities that decorative concrete can offer, this trend will certainly continue. What better way for a contractor to advertise their work than leaving their “business card” in the very surface that everyone is interested in.

Simple “date” concrete stamps have been around for decades and are usually made from a metal such as brass. These simple tools can be quite expensive and really do not offer much in the way of advertising. If a contractor wanted a more detailed design with the existing tools systems, it would turn out to be very expensive and take time to be sent out and made. As part of their business expansion into precision custom tool making, Walttools saw it was time that contractors had an easier time getting the type of tool needed to imprint their information with a design that reflected their business.

The ability for the contractor to get custom logo stamps offers a simple solution for contractors at a small investment. Customers can choose simple text based designs or full custom logos that can be designed by themselves or by Walttools’ in house design team house. Logo impressions can be used by contractors to serve as a permanent business card for all who see the project. Another, often overlooked, use is actually for the client who would like a special logo or design in their project to give it a more personal touch. “One major advantage is that whether it is a simple logo or complex in-house design, custom items can usually ship to the customer within a day of proof approval, which is a vast improvement over the 1-3 week turn around found in the marketplace,” says Jason Cortez, design engineer at Walttools. The tools are made from a high density polyethylene material that has long life and is not unwieldy like old school metal tools. Each tool will also exhibit a high quality oak handle, making it easy for a decorative concrete contractor to leave their mark on the world.
