UPVC and the Environment

Filed under: Plastics Suppliers — Tags: fascias, Tips and Advice, types of cladding, UPVC fascia boards — admin @ 12:17 pm

With increasing levels of focus falling upon future sustainable housing guidelines, renewable energy, and low carbon production processes, questions have understandably risen from homeowners concerning the environmental impact of UPVC. For us, this affects just about all of our products – from fascias to cladding.

Here are a few points to consider about the eco-friendly aspects of UPVC as a domestic-use material.

• Eco-friendly doesn’t always mean natural raw materials. Setting aside the impact of deforestation etc (timber products being the main competitor of UPVC), UPVC production is very low in terms of environmental degradation. UPVC’s components – chlorine and ethylene – can both be produced without the use of fossil fuels, making UPVC one of the only materials on the market than can be made using only renewable energy.

• Conservation of raw materials and environmental damage is aided by domestic UPVC use. Our cladding and fascia products require no annual maintenance in the form of re-painting, chemical cleaning etc.

• Installing UPVC fascias or plastic wall cladding tends, for the most part, to be a decision based around heat efficiency, weatherproofing and durability. UPVC is proven to be the most cost effective, market accessible form of additional thermal protection available for the domestic buyer.

• UPVC home products (e.g. UPVC fascia boards) are 100% safe, making UPVC the perfect material for everything from hygienic cladding to home First Aid kits.

• The compounds of UPVC are near 100% recyclable. When disposing of your old UPVC products, be sure to contact your local council for advice regarding the most suitable recycling centre in your area.

Why plastic easily stands up to wood

Filed under: Plastics Suppliers — Tags: fascia boards, fascias, plastic sheets, Plastics Suppliers — admin @ 2:50 pm

When installing or replacing fascias, the relative merits of using wood or UPVC fascia boards can sometimes present a real dilemma for those householders who desire quality as well as economy. The fact is, however that, on all levels, modern plastic fascias give even the best wooden alternatives a serious run for their money.

For some commentators, nevertheless, the many advantages of UPVC plastic fascias are unfairly discounted in favour of the ‘superior’ qualities of wooden versions.

Thus the fact that UPVC fascias are much cheaper than wooden fascias immediately goes out of the window in the false belief that this means UPVC fascias will ‘look cheap’.

The advantages that UPVC fascias have in terms of being lightweight, and therefore easier to install (some wooden fascia boards may need as many as three people to lift and install properly) are also mistakenly cast aside as a ‘sacrifice worth making for robustness and longevity’.

Finally, the capacity of some plastic fascia boards to slip over old wooden fascias is misleadingly dismissed as a job being only ‘half done’.

The facts are: modern grain effect plastic fascias do look as convincing as wooden boards; plastic fascias are durable – unlike wood they do not rot, warp in the heat, or require any paintwork; and provided the original wood is in reasonable condition, fitting plastic fascias over them does provide full protection.

At Bliby Plastics, as experts in plastic fabrication, let us explain the many ways in which modern UPVC plastic fascias can save you money and deliver you quality.

Return of the skirting board

Filed under: Plastics Suppliers — Tags: Plastic Cladding, plastic guttering, Plastics Suppliers, Tips and Advice — admin @ 12:25 pm

It is part of human nature to never be quite satisfied with the look of your home. From rearranging the furniture, through decorating and to actually rebuilding parts of your house, flat or bungalow, there always seems to be something that could be changed for the better.

On the outside, replacing plastic fascias, guttering and soffits are useful projects to be carried out. DIY enthusiasts who may have built their own homes, for the most part, may have decided on a contemporary look and eschewed more traditional skirting boards for so called shadow gaps which are designed to allow for expansion and contraction between the bottom of the wall and the floorboards. As a plastic fabrication company, we have a wide variety of products to assist DIY tasks.

When the shadow gap has been created perfectly it can really enhance the appearance of the room. However, a perfect job is very difficult to achieve and one of the other problems is that damage to the bottom of the wall is more likely to occur. Therefore, there is some speculation as to whether a return to more traditional skirting boards is about to happen.

A good many people consider this to be quite an attractive idea, due to the fact that there a number of materials from which to select a new skirting board, slate, tile, stone, aluminium and plastic.

At Bliby Plastics, we manufacture plastic wall cladding, architraves and, of course, skirting boards. Available in a range of lengths, heights and depths, there will, typically be a variety of colours from which to choose.

Plastic quality

Filed under: Plastics Suppliers — Tags: fascia boards, fascias, hygienic wall cladding, plastic guttering, plastic wall cladding — admin @ 11:57 am

When you are about to replace plastic guttering, fascias or wall cladding, you do not want to waste money by opting for the least expensive products you can find. This is a kind of false economy that you will soon find yourself regretting. ‘You get what you pay for’ is an old adage but very true – plastic gutters that you might reasonably expect to last for quite a few years might become unusable after only a couple of years. The cost of replacing them with better quality guttering, as well as the hassle and hours spent on a job that should not have been necessary for several years yet, will leave you frustrated as well as being worse off than if you had opted for the premium items in the long run.

There is no need, however, to spend a fortune. At Bliby Plastics we have good quality products at a price that is affordable. Quality is important, but so is having a wide range of guttering, uPVC fascia boards and so on from which to select the product that will enhance the appearance of your house or bungalow. Spending a little more entitles you to have as great a choice as possible

The same criteria applies to tradesmen, of course. How the finished product appears will be a reflection of the competence of the builder and this will, naturally, have an effect on his reputation. It is also important that the tradesman is able to obtain these products as quickly as possible. We provide hygienic wall cladding, uPVC fascia boards and other house products.

How to fit an architrave

Filed under: Plastics Suppliers — Tags: Plastics Suppliers, Tips and Advice, uses for plastic sheets, wall cladding — admin @ 11:47 am

As well as supplying plastic cladding, fascias and wall cladding, many DIY suppliers will have available items such as architrave and trim. Architrave is the piece of wood or wood effect plastic which will cover the gap between door frame and wall. There are various styles of architrave available, some quite detailed and decorative, others quite plain really. As leading experts in plastic fabrication, we understand decorative features such as these.

Each piece of decor in the area must be chosen carefully in order to create a good balance. At Bliby Plastics we supply several different wood-effect styles from which you can choose the one that will suit your room best. Having selected the perfect architrave, you now need to install it. Under normal circumstance, architrave will finish at the floor. In some homes, however, it will end at the skirting board. Measure how long you will need each section of architrave but do be careful to ensure it is between five and ten millimetres away from the door casing. If it is too close to the door casing, you will have the added inconvenience of needing to cut around the door hinges.

Mark all lengths with the cut’s direction to avoid making the mistake of cutting it the wrong way. Also worth considering is assembling the frame on the floor first. Use an appropriate glue to secure the lengths together and screw it from the top so that the screw heads will not be seen.

We are experts in plastic fabircation, and have a wide range of products, including PVC cladding.
