Timber is a natural material obtained from trees. It is an easily renewable resource. It is aesthetically beautiful with various colours, tones, grains and can also create a warm feeling. It is also naturally durable.

• Quickly and easily built.• Not affected by temperature. • Bad conductor of heat and electricity so less prone to

condensation.• Maintenance is easy and cheap.• Insulating nature maintains the temperature inside the

room• They have long life if good quality timber is used.• Addition and alteration can be done easily.• Available in many sizes, shapes and forms.• Provide noise and sound insulation.• It is strong and durable.• Have a natural attractive appearance.

ADVANTAGES

• The wooden frames are affected by termite and insects.• Cost of the good quality timber is very high. • The timber can absorb moisture and easily rot.• Low resistance to fire.

DISADVANTAGES

CONCRETE (FLOOR) (STAIRCASE)

Concrete is a heterogeneous material consist of cement, sand, aggregate, water and admixtures. It is the most widely used building material. Its products come in many forms and applications with different types of composition mix for different needs. It hardens as it sets.

ADVANTAGES• It is durable and strong.• Can be easily decorated.• Does not stain easily when protection is

applied.• Easy and low cost maintenance.• It is versatile and can be molded.• It is economical.• Provide good sound insulation.• It is a non-combustible material and is fire-

resistant.• Moderate resistance to moisture.• Quick construction.

DISADVANTAGES• It has low tensile strength and is brittle.• It does not have good insulation against

heat and cold.• Susceptible to cracking and penetration

of moisture.• Hardness of floor could hurt and cause

damage to falling objects and people.

The floor of LT21 is covered with carpet finishing. It gives a nice appearance to the space and cushions the sound of footsteps. It provides a soft surface to soften the fall of objects and people. 

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

• It helps to soundproof and insulate the entire space.

• It is easily maintained and cleaned.

• It gives protection to the concrete floor in area of heavy traffic.

• It provides overall comfort to the space and retain the temperature of room.

• It can act as an effective passive air filter that traps dust and harmful particles in the air if cleaned properly.

 

• It easily traps dusts and air pollutants in the carpet which may cause sickness.

• It also easily absorb stains and moisture which can cause damage to the carpet.

GLASS ( WINDOW )

It is used for aesthetic purposes to provide a good decoration effect and gives a nice appearance. It provides controlled light transmission and condensation protection. It also provides insulation and makes a space appears to be more spacious than it is.

ADVANTAGES• Resistant to chemicals, solvents, oil, and

grease• Does not rust and is long lasting• Cresistant to moisture and a wide range

of temperature• Easily cleaned and reused• Its transparency allow light to pass

through to allow adequate lighting of space

• Its heat insulation allow temperature of room to be maintained

• Gives a nice modern and futuristic appearance

• Can break easily• More expensive compared to other

materials

DISADVANTAGES

Features:-Sound insulation in ceiling and wall-Reduce noise and sound absorption-Adjust sound and make sound waves diffuse symmetrically-It can improve sound articulation-It is simple to install

Features:-consists of cushion made from fabric that have beautiful designs to give a nice appearance to the space. -provide a soft surface to provide safety. -acts as a sound insulator and thermal insulator to maintain the sound and temperature inside the room.

Aluminium is a chemical element. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal. Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation.

Advantages of aluminium:- Combined with an appropriate alloy ensures steel durability.- Aluminium structures have considerable insulation properties securing from air and light activity.- Such structures are light.- Has a natural anti-corrosion layer which efficiently protects from environmental influences. - Requires little energy required in the processing process. - A resource is 100% recyclable.

Disadvantages of aluminium: - Considerably more expensive than steel - Abrasive to tooling (aluminum oxide) - Difficult to weld. - Has higher spring back - undesirable in forming.

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, or colour to a surface (support base). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush but other implements, such as knives, sponges, andairbrushes, can be used.

Advantages of painting:Keeps Dust, Dirt to a Minimum – keeping interior walls, trim and other surfaces painted can keep dust and dirt at bay. Hides Permanent Marks and Stains - Painting wall will help to cover permanent marks or stains that have proven difficult to remove.Protects Surfaces - Painting wall will help these areas hold up under normal wear and tear, and protect the wall from damaging effects of water.Come at fairly low cost - Paint can come at a fairly low cost and is normally fairly easy to accomplish. Ease of cleaning - A good paint should be easy to remove when required.
