Details of Terms Used on the Website:
Gradation:
Gradation refers to a well-balanced distribution of sand in different particle sizes, ranging from 150 microns to 5 mm. To ensure quality and performance, we put a lot of effort into grading our products so that the sand particle sizes are uniform.
Silt:
Silt / Ultr-Fines are extremely fine particles that are commonly found in sand. They are typically smaller than 0.075 mm in size and can be compared with clay or other fine particles and extreme powder form of sand.
Flaky And Elongated Sand/Aggregates/Products:
When we talk about Flaky and Elongated materials, we mean to say they are flat and long shapes. If you are using materials with a high proportion of these shapes, it might negatively affect the strength of your construction.
Soft Rocks:
Soft rock is weathered rock, which will be present on top of the query. They might not be the right ones you are aiming for your construction needs.
Sand Not Suitable for Construction:
Some sands could be better for certain construction needs. Choosing sand that isn’t tailored to your project’s needs might introduce unexpected challenges and it might compromise the overall quality of your construction.
Clean and Dry Place:
In the context of clean and dry places, we mean a place where the products are stored, where there are no foreign materials, or where the area is not wet.
Crack Free:
We have designed our products to avoid cracks, ensuring structural integrity. However, it is important to note that achieving a complete crack-free result isn’t solely in our hands, as it also depends on various other factors, like the quality of cement you use, the water you mix it with, and other aspects of the construction process.
Cement Quality:
Our products work best with high-quality cement. The type and quality of cement used may impact the overall performance of the construction.
Water Quality:
The quality of water used in the mixing process also plays a key role and impacts the performance of our products.
Improper Mixing:
It is important to follow the mixing procedure in a proper way, as mixing things up the right way is key to achieving the desired product performance.
Poor Workmanship:
Even though we stand by the quality of our products, the application is in labor's hands. Poor workmanship is often caused by factors such as labor ignorance, lack of experience, insufficient understanding of best practices, or other issues related to the workforce. For construction projects to be effective, it is crucial to recognize that expertise and dedication are essential in the construction process.
Natural Ground Movement:
Natural Ground Movement is a dynamic and ongoing process influenced by geological, environmental, and human factors. In construction, acknowledging and addressing these movements are essential to ensure the durability, safety, and resilience of building structures over time. Neither we nor our products can be held responsible for any damages resulting from natural ground movements.
Poor Structural Design of the Building:
Even the best materials need a thoughtful design. In spite of the quality of our products, a well-designed structure may compromise safety and longevity.
Improper Curing:
Curing is an important process in construction that involves maintaining adequate moisture, temperature, and time conditions for newly built concrete or masonry. This process is crucial for achieving optimal strength, durability, and resistance in the final structure.
Regular Sand:
Using quality sand in construction is mandatory due to its direct impact on the building's performance, strength, and durability. In context to regular sand, we mean sand that contains more than 30% silt, improper graduation, flaky and elongated products, made of soft rocks, and other factors that can compromise the integrity of the construction.
Best Construction Practices:
- Use Quality Cement: It's always better to use high-quality cement to increase the building's strength.
- Use Clean Water for Better Bonding: Use pure water to enhance the cohesion of construction materials.
- Avoid Improper Mixing: Follow proper mixing procedures for consistent and robust construction.
- Avoid Poor Workmanship: Poor workmanship can lead to mistakes, structural issues, and a lack of attention to detail; all these can affect the project’s integrity and safety.
- Consider Natural Ground Movement: Plan construction with an understanding of natural ground movements.
- Avoid Poor Structural Designs of Buildings: Avoid weak designs to guarantee the stability of the building.
- Avoid improper curing: Follow proper curing methods, such as allowing the surface of the concrete to cure for at least 15 days during the curing period and plastering for at least 7 days after the curing period has ended.
- Many more reasons that are related to civil and natural aspects.
The Statements We Justify are as Follows:
- The sandbag is designed to maintain its integrity for up to 36 months when it is stored in a clean and dry environment.
- To Ensure performance, strength, and duration, it is advised to store in a clean and dry environment.
- When we claim our “sand provides 60% higher strength”, this is compared with regular sand and aggregates and follows best construction practices.
- The statement “3 times better sand” implies a comparison with regular sand while strictly following the best construction practices.
- While our products are engineered to yield “100% crack-free walls”, achieving this result depends on adherence to the best construction practices during installation.
- By the statement Book A Free Demo & Get a Free Solid Concrete Block Sample* we intend to day that we provide concrete blocks samples to the customer within Bangalore and it might also depend on the specific customers who we might think can is valuable for us.
