Introduction to Green Net Maintenance Green nets serve multiple purposes in Indian homes and institutions – from garden shade and crop protection to sports enclosures and safety barriers. Like any outdoor fixture, these nets degrade over time due to UV exposure, dust accumulation, and organic debris. With proper care, you can extend their functional lifespan […]

Introduction to uPVC Sliding Windows in Humid Climates uPVC sliding windows are a popular choice for Indian homes due to their durability, thermal insulation, and resistance to corrosion. However, in humid climates—common in coastal regions or during monsoon seasons—uPVC windows require specific maintenance to prevent issues like sticking tracks, mould growth, and seal deterioration. With

Introduction to HDPE and uPVC High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) are two widely used thermoplastics in Indian construction and plumbing. HDPE pipes dominate water supply systems due to their flexibility and chemical resistance, while uPVC finds extensive use in window profiles and pressure pipes for its rigidity and thermal performance. Both materials

Understanding the Three Main Window Types Windows serve multiple purposes in a home: they allow natural light, provide ventilation, enhance security, and contribute to energy efficiency. The three primary types of windows to consider are: Fixed windows: Non-opening panes designed purely for light and views. Ventilation windows: Operable designs (casement, sliding, tilt-and-turn, etc.) that allow

What Are Green Nets? Green nets, also known as shade nets or garden netting, are woven or knitted synthetic fabrics designed to provide controlled shading, wind protection, and environmental management. Typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, these UV-stabilised nets come in various densities (measured as shade percentages) and colours, with green being a

Introduction: The Importance of Safe Water and Durable Interiors Schools and hospitals require infrastructure that prioritises both safety and longevity. With high foot traffic, these environments demand materials and systems that resist wear while maintaining hygiene standards. Contaminated water or deteriorating interiors can directly impact health, making thoughtful material choices and maintenance protocols essential. Safe

Introduction to Drip Irrigation Issues Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient ways to water gardens and agricultural fields, delivering water directly to plant roots while minimising waste. However, like any system, it can develop problems that reduce its effectiveness. Understanding how to troubleshoot common issues will help maintain optimal performance and prolong the

Introduction to Textured Putty in Interior Design Textured putty has emerged as a versatile medium for creating distinctive wall finishes that go beyond conventional paints. Unlike standard wall putty used for surface preparation, textured variants contain additives like marble dust, polymers, or metallic pigments that allow for sculptural effects. In Indian homes, these finishes bridge

Introduction to WPC Frames in Renovations Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) frames have become a popular choice for renovation projects across India due to their durability, moisture resistance, and low-maintenance properties. Unlike traditional wood or aluminium frames, WPC combines wood fibres with thermoplastic materials to create a stable, weather-resistant framing solution ideal for Indian climates—especially in
