Overview

"Drywallling" has become a common term for partitioning a space with gypsum products, we found out from Lafarge Gypsum that ceiling and partition systems have become a little more advanced than what we previously thought. We also seem to only associate partitioning systems with commercial applications; this is not true, as partitioning can allow a homeowner a lot of freedom in defining spaces within the home. Partitioning and ceiling systems can also include a host of technical properties including fire resistance, noise reduction and most importantly thermal insulation.

With the onset of the new building regulations SANS 204 and SANS 10400 XA, thermal insulation is going to fast become a norm in any building project. We chatted ATI (Africa Thermal Insulation) about their products which address this very issue. ATI offers Alububble and Alutherm, which into the future are set to become household names. Importantly, insulating your building will not cost you an arm and a leg and even more so, actually save you a ton of money in the long run.

This means money being wasted on heating costs during winter and your space age insulation installation not working to full effect. Raven provides a diverse range of cost effective DIY products to address this very issue.

Overview

Finding out there is more to a roof covering than small rectangular pieces of concrete proved to be quite a lot of fun. The right choice of roof tile plays an intergral role in the aesthetics of a building, in fitting with its intended architectural style. This also has an influence on cost if you need to choose between clay or concrete. Monier are also at the forefront of innovation with their new "Dry Ridge System" and "Cool Roof" solution addressing a the needs of energy efficieny, which is at the tip of everyones tongue.

Overview

Keeping warm during winter is a concern to everyone, particularly with the colder winters we are experiencing here in South Africa. We chatted to two experts in the field of fireplaces and found out more about the various types of fireplaces available and what to look out for when making decisions on how to heat your home. Energy efficiency of a particluar producy seems to be the deciding factor when choosing a fireplace. We also had chance to discuss the truly South African product we know so well as the "Braai" and found out a little bit about its history and how far this has come since the 1960's.
