Concrete and block/brick junction treatment before plastering

  The G I mesh is fixed at the block work and concrete structure junction to avoid formation of cracks during temperature variation due to difference in thermal expansion of these materials. Due to different coefficients of thermal expansion for Concrete and block masonry, cracks may develop in the plaster at the junctions. Galvanized Iron…

Waterproofing preparatory works – Haunching

Haunching is a process of making the sharp corners into smooth curve in areas like floor & wall junctions and wall & wall junctions. Purpose of Haunching: The co-efficient of thermal expansion and contraction is different for floor and wall surface. Due to this the thin waterproofing layer may get damaged and leads to waterproofing…
