Exterior coating for new build exterior nap plaster

July 26, 2010

MURFILL

Murfill Murfill Paint

The recommended coating for new buildings is Murfill. This is a standard exterior coating that has built-in elasticity. The benefit of the elasticity is that the coating can stretch and move with any settling or structural movement that occurs in the building over the first number of years. This prevents the coating for cracking or flaking over areas where micro-cracking will occur. The product also gives 100% waterproofing.

Product characteristics:

  • Decorative satin-matt finish
  • Guaranteed waterproofing
  • Water vapour permeable (allows the wall to breathe)
  • Excellent resistance to ageing
  • Protects reinforced concrete against carbonation
  • 100% waterproofing guaranteed
  • Allows for occurrence of micro-cracking (400% elasticity)
  • UV and chemical resistant
  • Prolongs the lifetime of the building

Mixing it up!

April 7, 2010

Paint Paddle

Paint Paddle

A paint paddle is a vitally important tool when it comes to mixing two-pack paints. A two pack paint is any paint that comes in two parts: a base and an activator. Unlike single pack paints, your two-pack paint dries by a chemical reaction between the base and the hardener. It is important that every part of the base mixes with some activator. If you have some base that isn’t in contact with any activator then the paint may not dry or harden, nor will it give the desired gloss.

This is where your paint paddle / paint stirrer comes in. Attach the paint paddle to the end of a standard household drill. Stir the base at a slow speed. Slowly begin to add your hardener (activator). Stir the base and hardener at a slow speed for approximately 4 minutes (this time varies depending on what type of paint you are mixing). Do not mix the products too fast as they will heat up and they will cure too quickly. For mixing ratios and other application and preparation details please see the data sheet of the specific product that you are using.

Fire Protection for Steel

March 16, 2010

Fire proofing treatments are an exact science. The fire protection requirement for load bearing steel is generally one-hour minimum. This means that load bearing beams and columns (or any other steel sections that are pivotal in supporting the building) can withstand fire for one hour before collapsing. It is no coincidence that the twin towers in New York collapsed exactly 56 minutes after being struck. Because of the exact nature of these specifications the information that you give us is crucial.

The information that we require in order to give you an exact fire protection schedule is the following:

Name of the steel section: i.e. a beam / column / flat / circular hollow section / equal angle etc.

The Section size of each piece of steel involved: i.e. 80 x 80 x 15.

For example, a common size for universal columns is 203 x 203 x 54

The Length of that piece of steel: e.g. 3.5meters

The no. of pieces of steel that are this size and length: e.g. 15

Exposure: i.e. how many sides of the steel are exposed. Generally this is all four sides but sometimes there it may be only 3 sides exposed (i.e. when one side of the steel is blocked inside the cavity of the wall, etc.)

Here is an example of what a customer would send to us:

Steel Section Section Size Length No.Sides Exposure
Roof Rafter 101 x 55 x 3 3.064meters 33 4
Universal Beam 254 x 254 x 53 3.6meters 33 4
Square Hollow Section 80 x 80 x 3 3.505meters 8 3
