Nowadays plastics can be applied to almost every branch of building, from the laying of foundation to the final coat of paint.
A lot of decorative plastics now available have brought about a revolution in interior and exterior design. But plastics are used now not only for decoration. These materials are sufficiently rigid to stand on their own without any support. They can be worked with ordinary builders’ tools.

Plastic Materials
1. Plastic materials are not found in nature. Plastic is formed by extrusion or injection molding under very high pressure. It can be molded into any desired shape. Organic plastics are divided into two general groups: thermosetting and thermoplastic. The thermosetting group becomes rigid through a chemical change that occurs when heat is applied. These plastics cannot be remolded. The thermoplastic group remains soft at high temperatures and must be cooled before becoming rigid. This group is not used generally as a structural material.
2. Plastics are rapidly becoming important construction materials because of their great variety, strength, durability and lightness. Plastics are light. The benefits of light weight coupled with good strength and absence of corrosion offer tremendous potential as alternatives to traditional building materials. A given volume of polythene weights less than one-eighth of an equal volume of iron and less than half of the same volume of aluminum.
3. Plastics are used in the industry and in the household: from rockets and electronics to toys and house ware. Plastic products offer many advantages over the materials they replace, such as ease of handling, lower maintenance costs and rapidity of assembly. The insulation and dielectric properties of plastics led to their early use in the electrical engineering industry, which was followed by special application in mechanical engineering.
4. Using of plastics as materials for a construction in the form of sheets, rods or tubes is substituting the conventional metals. Plastics offer a lot of properties for the designs. Plastics have now been developed to such an extent that they can be applied to almost every branch of building, from the laying of foundations to the final coat of paint.

Laminate is a strong material manufactured from many layers of paper or textile impregnated with thermosetting resins. This sandwich is then pressed and subjected to heat. Laminate has been developed for both inside and outside use. It resists severe weather conditions for more than ten years without serious deformation. As a structural material it is recommended for exterior work. Being used for surfacing, laminate gives the tough surface.

“Colorplast” factory in Rovigo (Italy) manufactures three main products: panels, window frames and door frames.
The rigid, extruded polyvinylchloride (PVC) panels are made in a large of sizes, suitable for every kind of use. They are very strong, indeformable and are extremely easy to assemble and disassemble. For this reason they are of particular interest to architects and builders.
The second group of “Colorplast” products are ready-to-mount window frames, made of rigid PVC. They are completely draught-proof, water-proof, fire-proof and sound absorbent, indeformable, easy to install, economic and do not require maintenance. Moreover, they are available with different types of openings in varying sizes and are designed to meet any specific requirement.
Finally, “Colorplast” produces patented internal laminated plastic melamine doors. They are made up of laminated panels with noney-comb filling, finished with rigid PVC borders.

The Empire State building is one of the world’s tallest buildings. It is situated in New York City on the West side of Fifth Avenue.
Completed in 1931, in accordance with an original design first suggested by J.Raskob, the Empire State replaced a historic hotel, the first Waldorf-Astoria. Its construction set speed records; it was completed in less than two years. The building’s exterior is covered by Indian limestone and granite, supported by a steel framework. For this framework 60 000 tons of metal were used. 102 stories above the street (and with two more below the street level), it has a height of 1 472 ft.
The upper tower contains observatories and television antennas.

In one of the Moscow districts among the experimental blocks there is one that the architects have called the “Flats of the Future”. It has two 16-storeyed towers connected by a gallery. The design was worked out in conjunction with sociologists, philosophers and doctors, who had analyzed the regimes of factory workers, office employees and children who were to occupy the flats.
The main idea was to make available facilities so that the tenants could distribute their time more rationally.
The block has a swimming pool, a gym, a library, a winter garden, a club, a hotel to private accommodation for the tenants’ guests and visiting relatives, a children’s playground and a polyclinic.
Each floor is equipped with a canteen, rooms for washing and pressing laundry, and special rooms where children are minded.
