Cork Spray v/s Paint

[blogpage-header]

Colors have an impact on our behavior, no matter who it is and where we are. Whether it is the color of the sky, the mesmerizing nature, a place, a thing we are wearing, or our own home. Choosing the right color is of utmost importance and we spend a lot of our time deciding it as well. Especially, when it comes to painting our home or office space. But how much time do we spend deciding what we want to color our places with, i) traditional paint or ii) the eco-friendly Cork Spray? 

Today’s blog digs deeper to identify the better alternative that is value for money, lasts longer, and might look and feel better. Let’s begin.

 

  • Bonds well with almost any kind of surface

Cork spray bonds exceptionally well to many different surfaces and finishes including but not limited to bricks, stone, concrete, wood, metal, drywall, cement boards, plaster, and stucco. PLC’s Cork Spray is easy to apply and covers the surfaces with ease and little to no effort on your part. Traditional paint on the other hand might require a lot more effort.

 

  • Flexible by nature

Cork spray’s flexibility and durability makes it a top buy. Paint no matter how good it looks and feels, tends to crack over a period of time. The buildings, too, go through changes during the extreme weather conditions and climate. Here’s where cork spray’s elastic quality comes in handy and helps it maintain its structural integrity. This helps it last longer, crack-free.

 

  • Water Resistant

PLC’s cork spray is more than a product of high quality and durability. It is also water resistant. Despite being 80%-90% air, cork sprays are excellent protectors against water damage (a thing that could end up costing hundreds of dollars). 

 

  • Breathable, low-heat transfer & good thermal insulation

Cork sprays don’t just save you from hefty water damage bills, it also regularly saves you from spending on heaters and coolers. Thanks to its capabilities to keep the heat transfer level at a low, one doesn’t feel too hot during summers and too cold during winters. Even a thin layer of cork spray can go a long way in helping you get rid of that excess cold/heat.

 

  • A Spray that protects against many things!

PLC’s Cork Spray protects the building from salt, mold, mildew, fire, and water.  We focus on creating products that ensure you don’t need to do ten things but, just one cork spray from PLC is enough to protect your home from damaging environmental factors.

 

  • Go Green!

Saving the best for the last! Cork sprays are eco-friendly, 100% natural, recyclable and renewable in nature. This alone makes them worth every penny. Not just the spray, but the cork trees themselves are said to consume three to five times more carbon dioxide than other trees during their time of regrowth, making them one of the best species in the environment.

 

  • Conclusion

Cork Spray is the latest introduction to eco-friendly technology in construction that provides a durable architectural finish for residential and commercial buildings. Cork has many different natural properties that make it the ideal product for a number of different climates as an exterior coating to buildings. PLC’s Cork Spray is cost-friendly, a great substitute and alternative to your traditional paint, and a viable option both for you and nature. It is available in a variety of colors to suit your mood and ambience of the property.

Surfacing Systems and their Importance

[blogpage-header]

The construction industry has seen a surge in technological advancements in the past few decades. The reason is evolving technology and the need for novel and durable solutions. Today, numerous construction companies and contractors are looking for product and service options that are long-lasting, affordable, and also sustainable. The advancing science and technology have provided many unique solutions to the construction domain. In today’s blog, we will talk about the surfacing systems used in the construction industry and their importance. 

About Surfacing Systems

Surfacing systems are applied on the surfaces of buildings and houses to give an ultimate finishing look and protection. They are available in a wide range of design options and manufactured by one of the leading companies, Kemper System. The surfaces include floors, countertops, paneling, terraces, etc. Appropriate surfaces add an elegant look and lively feeling to your property. With the increasing demand in the construction industry, numerous materials are used for surfacing. Perfect Level Construction, as a leading distributor of Kemper products, provides sustainable and durable solutions. 

Importance of Surfacing System

The exterior and interior surfaces of buildings and houses must be secure enough to prevent damage to the properties and individuals. The surface treatment of materials used in the surfacing systems is mixed with a waterproofing mixture to impart waterproofing properties. The functional and aesthetic services provided by PLC have numerous benefits:

Provides monolithic and pleasing architectural finish with smoothened surfaces

  • Up to 80% renewable materials
  • Compatible with stone, tiles, or concrete surfaces
  • Odor-free materials that are safe in sensitive environments
  • Protection against water, dampness, and mold
  • Slip-resistant
  • Multiple design options are available for different properties

Surfacing systems are used in parking decks, pavements, balconies, flooring, terrace, mechanical rooms, and other surfaces of the commercial buildings and houses. 


Balcony and Terrace Surface

The balcony and terrace add more space and an appealing look to the building and houses. These spaces are exposed to extreme UV, dust, rain, and other environmental conditions. To prevent damage to the structure, it is crucial to install an appropriate surfacing system with multiple benefits. The Kemper products sold by PLC fulfill all the necessary requirements of the balcony and terrace surfaces by providing a compelling look, and anti-slip, non-combustible, and durable materials. The sturdy surface system prevents water seepage, mold growth, and damage to the design. 

Mechanical Rooms

Mechanical rooms in industries, hospitals, and other commercial facilities, are used to house prominent structures, such as elevator equipment, boilers, electrical circuits, etc. The daily operations of such facilities depend entirely on the mechanical room. Therefore, an appropriate mechanical room with correct surfacing or flooring can prevent damage to the costly equipment or other resulting disruptions. The heaviest and most expensive equipment in the mechanical rooms can create immense pressure on the flooring system. Therefore, the floor surface must be robust enough to withstand such a load and also prevent damage to the equipment. 

The surfacing systems in the mechanical rooms must be well-maintained and regularly check for leaks, condensation, and other spoilage factors. An unsafe flooring surface can lead to slip and fall incidents, water seepage through floors, damage to the equipment, or pose a threat in the case of electrical circuits. Since such rooms include constant heat, cold, or chemical conditions, it may eventually affect the surfacing systems. To avoid additional expenses and accidents, it is advisable to opt for a high-performance surfacing system for floors with the following properties:

  • Chemical-resistant
  • High durability
  • Monolithic Design
  • Water-resistant
  • Slip-resistant
