INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

A major client encountered a situation, whereby a main steelwork fabrication, which had been erected and was in-situ on a finished project, was showing signs of corrosion at three hundred spigot/box section interfaces. These areas could not be accessed; therefore no conventional cleaning/shot blasting and painting could be carried out. ARS UK Ltd’s technical services realised that for corrosion to form an Anode-Cathode-Electrolyte triangle must be present, forming a ‘triangle of corrosion’. To prevent the corrosion one of the legs of the triangle must be removed. An innovative and elegant solution was devised for introducing a sacrificial anodic coating to all of the affected areas, thus removing the electrolyte and offering an Active as well as Passive protection, which even if slightly damaged is still effective.

Innovative Building Products

Earlier the choices of building materials were limited to locally sourced materials like bricks, stones and timber, these materials have been used for centuries. Innovative building products are being constantly developed. Innovation in building products plays a very magnificent role among the most effective forces which guided the development of building forms and styles.

Top Home Improvement Tips

Moving house is not a decision to take lightly. It requires commitment, hard work and a lot of strength to get through it. If only it was as simple as boxing up your belongings in one house and unpacking those boxes in another.

There are the viewings, budgets, paperwork and a lot of crossing of fingers to take into account. Sometimes there is even rejection involved when your offer isn’t accepted. It’s important not to take it to heart and persevere.

When you stop and think about how much your house is worth, do you think about it in its current state. Your home is your home, and it’s perfectly fine as it is. But, it may be worth taking a walk around your home and get in the mind of a third person. Not the estate agent but a possible buyer. Why should a complete stranger buy your home? What does it have to offer? Is there room for improvement? It may be worth putting aside a small budget for aesthetic enhancements:

New Flooring – Lived in floors can usually be covered with a rug of some sort and be forgotten about, but to potential homebuyers, new engineered flooring is in high demand. The flooring is comprised of wood layers stacked cross-grain and bonded together under heat and pressure – the process of this makes the floor more durable and stain resistant which is perfect for families with kids and animals. Investing in a beautiful floor will highly increase the resale value of your home.

Wash Your Windows – Newly washed windows can make a huge impression on potential homebuyers. The amount of light streaming in can make all the difference. Buyers want to be able to see out clearly as well as looking in. If you’re not able to do it yourself, hire a professional Window Cleaning Company who will give your home an affordable facelift.

Out With the Old In With the New – Bathroom and kitchen renovations don’t require a huge expense. Worn out baths, countertops and faucets can be refurbished to look brand new. They will increase the life of those fixtures for at least ten years for a fraction of the cost of buying new and getting it all installed.

Broken and Scratched Glass Repair Tips

A broken window is a situation no homeowner or business person wants to have to deal with, but unfortunately, accidents do happen. For anyone dealing with a broken or shattered window, there’s not only the issue of handling the mess left behind that could be dangerous but there is also the matter of getting a replacement sorted.

Here are a few tips to help you with the clean-up process:

1)      Secure the area and make sure everyone is aware of the incident. Cordon off the area with chairs or other furniture to prevent further accidents.

2)      Without endangering yourself or others, assess the mess to evaluate how big your clean up area will be.

3)      Call a glass repair company, the faster the broken window is replaced, the less you have to worry about anything else coming through the window such as rain water or insects. They will also be able to help you asses if the window needs to be secured.

4)      When clearing up the glass, be sure to protect yourself. Wear close-toed shoes with thick soles and heavy gloves to prevent cuts from glass.

5)      Put any glass in old newspaper, wrapping the glass up in several layers and then place in a bin bag. Label the bin bag clearly to say it contains broken glass.

6)      Once the larger pieces of glass have been removed, carefully sweep or hoover away any smaller pieces, taking care to check for shards or particles that may be hidden behind other pieces of furniture or cushions.

Glass scratches are a common occurrence. From windows to table surfaces, scratches can take the sheen off the sophistication no matter the size of the scratch.

As a general rule, the heavier the scratch, the trickier it is to remove. If the scratch is deep enough to catch the tip of a fingernail, it is likely it is too deep to be repaired yourself.

Minor scratches can be repaired with a little effort:

·         Clean the surface area using a glass or window cleaner with a soft cloth then wipe dry with kitchen towel

·         Carefully and gently rub in a metal polish such as Brasso using small circular motions with a soft cloth.

·         If you don’t have a metal polish to hand, try using clear nail varnish. Use a thin layer on the scratch and remove any excess with nail polish remover lightly dabbed from a clean cloth.

·         Once polish is dry, polish to a shine. These steps may need to be repeated if you don’t get the desired results first go.

If the scratch is too deep, give us a call. Our Scratch removal System for glass repair is unlike any other scratch removal process globally.

Great Architectures Around the World

Those people who love to travel around the world, they should not miss the chance to explore the magnificent architectures of this world. Here are some examples of great architectures around the world which  everyone should visit:

On-Site Spraying

The ultimate guide to understanding On-site Spraying

What is it?

 

On-site spraying is classified as spray painting activities that are carried out on the premises of a client. The work is usually carried out either before or after normal working hours to avoid disruption to the client and their staff.

Health and safety is paramount and no work will be started until the process of masking and protecting any adjacent surfaces is complete. Often the masking will take longer than the actual paint spraying itself.

Why is it used?

On-site spraying is used when an establishment requires a maintenance or refurbishment upgrade or is having a fit out project that requires a professional finish.

  

What surfaces can be sprayed?

Almost all architectural can be sprayed. From shop fronts, office windows, and front doors, to garage doors, cladding and ceilings.

·         Shop fronts may require a facelift due to being tired and worn

·         Office windows can look tired and tarnished, especially if the building is old

·         Front doors and garage doors may look a bit battered with paint peeling off

·         Exterior cladding can become discoloured and weathered

·         Ceilings often gather dirt and if there has been a leak, damp marks can be left

So what are the benefits?

First and foremost, on-site spraying is a cost effective solution to applying paint. Instead of replacing windows and doors at a high cost, a spray will give an instant update breathing in new life to the exteriors.

Secondly, on-site spraying is highly efficient. Consider how long it will take to hand paint a door compared with spraying a door. Spraying is a rapid way of completing a project without compromising on quality or finish.  This same finish will be consistent - even giving a factory-finished look.

Thirdly, on-site spraying is very convenient. As mentioned above, most work will take place outside of normal working hours, leaving disruption to a minimum.

Fourthly, re-spraying protects surfaces therefore extending the life cycle of a building.
