Construction resilient flooring

A modern automobile contains over 300 lb (150 kg) of plastics, and this does not include paints, the rubber in tires, or the fibers in tires and upholstery. Newer aircraft incorporate increasing amounts of polymers and polymer-based composites. With the need to save fuel and therefore weight, polymers will continue to replace traditional materials in the automotive and aircraft industries. Similarly, the applications of polymers in the building construction industry (piping, resilient flooring, siding, thermal and electrical insulation, paints, decorative laminates) are already impressive and will become even more so in the...

Table 2 lists a number of available, acceptable, wall and ceiling material compositions and their relative attributes of purchase and installation costs, cleanabil-ity, durability, resilience, and ease of repair. The connections between the wall and window frames, doorframes, and the floor need to be carefully constructed to prevent moisture damage and enhance... 

For adequate airbourne sound insulation in houses and offices, dry lining and composite wall panels incorporating foamed plastics are often used with walls. There is also the floating floor construction commonly used, where an air gap is created by placing a resilient material (rubber or foamed plastic) between the timber raft and the concrete floor.
