Nowadays, when you are thinking about accomplishing your hobbies generally consisting of model building, you couldn't have missed the basic materials for it, which are called foam plastics. They can be used even in boat modeling, yet there are many things you should not forget when thinking about using them because there are several types, each one having different characteristics.

We can name three types of these foam plastics: the rigid Styrofoam, the rigid polyurethane foam and the beaded Styrofoam. The rigid Styrofoam and the rigid polyurethane foam have similar properties and can be given many shapes, while the beaded Styrofoam can be used only to shape angled and squared forms. You may recognize it whenever you buy Multi Socket Outlet GL-25H-4 an electrical device as this comes covered in the third type of the foam plastics: the beaded Styrofoam.

The second type of the foam plastics, the rigid polyurethane is a material of a light-brown color; it is alike the Rigid Styrofoam ,yet there are two main differences between them: this one will not dissolve whenever coated with polyester resin, and the second difference is that it is impossible to be cut with a hot wire cutter( a specific tool used by modelers in their work).

The first type of foam plastics, the rigid Styrofoam presents the opposite characteristics of the rigid polyurethane: it can easily be dissolved when coated with polyester resin and a hot wire cutter can be used to give different forms of this material. Moreover, the beaded

Styrofoam cannot be altered by means of carving but a hot wire cutter can be used to obtain carved shapes.

There were several doubts regarding the way you find these materials and the purpose of the article is also to clarify this aspect: the rigid polyurethane is generally sold in panels of 4X8 foot sheets; this is the case of the beaded Styrofoam too. The Rigid Styrofoam can be found in pink and blue(the pink type is less dense than the blue one and easier to carve with a hot wire cutter), its thickness being 1 or 2 inches.

In what concerns the price of the materials, you should know that Beaded Styrofoam is the cheapest as its properties are limited, while the Beaded Styrofoam is the most expensive(can be found only at commercial plastic suppliers). The rigid Styrofoam has a medium price as it combines the properties of the other two foam plastics: it can be sanded, carved, sawed or cut with the hot wire cutter mentioned above. This tool is similar to a scroll saw consisting of heated nichrome wire replacing the saw blade, enabling you to cut in any direction.

All in all, the three materials come in hand when performing your task: both advantageous and easy to work with, these foam plastics represent the key elements of model-building. In addition, the hot wire cutter is an advantage to your work as it can easily deal with the foam plastics and it is accessible to everyone. This way, the satisfaction of your work is guaranteed.

With summer only just a few months away, you may be thinking about THW Cable adding a conservatory onto your house to allow you to enjoy the sunshine within your home. All of your neighbours have white UPVC conservatories and you know from visiting them that they are extremely comfortable to sit in. But you want to stand out from the crowd and have a more natural looking conservatory in your garden.

 In that case, have you considered that a hardwood conservatory would give you the look you are after.Originally from the Victorian period, hardwood conservatories were regularly used for the purpose of growing plants and seeds that were brought into this country from much warmer climates. Obviously nowadays, a greenhouse would be used to serve this purpose. However timber conservatories have managed to stay in fashion for various reasons and are now used by us to sit and relax in. They may be extremely popular as they provide such an interesting alternative to the white UPVC conservatory we are all so used to.

As well as providing your garden with an entirely different look to the more conventional white UPVC conservatory, a hardwood conservatory is arguably more thermally efficient and beneficial to the environment.UPVC can be damaging to the environment as it is non-renewable. Whereas hardwood conservatories on the other hand, are made from timber which is a renewable material. As such, a high demand for hardwood conservatories would not be as damaging to the environment as it would be with UPVC.

 In addition to this, to create the timber for a hardwood conservatory, old trees are cut down and new ones are planted in their place, which helps to reduce the level of carbon dioxide that is emitted into the earth’s atmosphere. Also hardwood conservatories are much more thermally efficient. When using UPVC in a conservatory, the frame is often required to be fairly large in order to support the construction.

 This therefore means that there would be little window space and a substantial amount of UPVC. However, a hardwood conservatory can  afford to have smaller frames, meaning that there is more room for window space. There are more places for the sun to shine through with additional window space which means that ultimately, your conservatory will remain warmer.Hardwood conservatories are aesthetically pleasing and allow you to increase your living space. They add a more natural look to your garden, as the wooden colours blend in naturally with your garden’s surrounding colours. They also allow you more freedom if and when you were to make the decision to decorate your house as the timber can be easily painted. A hardwood conservatory will give you a place to escape from your busy household but it will also provide you with an attractive extension onto your home. You can use this space to sit and relax with your thoughts, read a book or just watch nature go by in your back garden. By combining the classic style of timber with double glazed windows, you will be ensuring that you can sit in your additional room at any time of the year without worrying about getting cold. Installing a radiator or a heater into your hardwood conservatory would enable the wood and double glazing to work together and contain the heat within. This will allow you to stay warm and comfortable any time of the year.
