A Statistics said, currently, the world faced with the crisis of the lack of housing. Around the world there are about 100 million people homeless, 31% of people living in slums, living conditions has been very poor. Therefore, the United States of engineering staff began to study: How can use waste in the housing problem? What often discarded of waste, for example, cups for drinking coffee, foam lunch boxes etc. whether can play a helpful role in resolving the problem of global housing? The American architect Durant built such a foam house for themselves. Insulation foam board as raw material From the outside looks, it seems to be no difference in his unique house and other houses on the street. Durant to paint their house became sky-blue, inlaid with large windows in the roof, which make house wide vision and wonderful scenery. Walking into house decoration is special, the ceiling is high, the ground covered with beautiful hardwood floors, there is also a modern atmosphere rich kitchen, the whole room is spacious and comfortable, which make you love at first sight. Durant said proudly: In this house, I've also built a sunny sunroom. In addition, the roof, walls and floors of the house are all made by the transformation of insulation foam boards, it is true sense of waste utilization. Durant did not build this special foam house by himself, he was cooperated with the Alabama heat saving residential construction company to complete this masterpiece. The company said, the most common kind of paper cups used for drinking coffee, actually made of polystyrene foam. This plastic is a good insulator, used as a beverage or food containers can play a great effect on cold insulation. More specifically, polystyrene foam can also be used to build houses. He said that the construction of such housing, the biggest trick is using cement board close both sides of plastic plate. The specific method is cut the foam board into a suitable size, then two cement boards sandwiched plastic plate in the middle. Three benefits of the foam house Durant also introduces three advantages of foam house: First, the rapid construction. The construction of a foam house likes the erection of a huge guessing figure, just follow a certain order to connected the plastic panels together. This process will only take about a week, while using standard wood requires at least twice the time. Second, weatherproof, and can be endothermic. Part of those what may be affected by wind and rain, whether the floor, roof or walls are constructed with foam board, this is in order to make full use of the insulating function of the foam board. Third, firm and seismic. “In 1984, I built first foam housing in Alaska, so far, my daughter still live there.” Zhangjiagang Hope Import & Export Co.,Ltd specialize in manufacturing all kinds of foam and sponge products, mainly are Wood floor underlay, Foam tape, adhesive foam board and laminate floor underlay.
