Waterproofing in Construction: Your Building’s Invisible Shield
Waterproofing is your building’s hidden shield, preventing leaks, mold, and costly damage.
From liquid systems like polyurethane and acrylic coatings to sheet membranes such as EPDM, PVC, and bituminous rolls, every method helps keep your structure safe and dry.
The Value of a Well-Designed House Plan
A house plan is more than just drawings, it’s a roadmap that shows you how your home stands and what can safely change. Without it, renovations become guesswork, leading to costly mistakes. With the right plan, you save money, avoid stress and build with confidence.
The Beauty and Benefits of Double-Volume Ceilings in Modern Homes
A double-volume ceiling instantly changes the feel of any home. It makes the space brighter, more open and gives that ‘wow’ factor the moment you walk in. With extra height for light and airflow, it’s a feature that blends beauty and comfort in the best way. We recently brought this to life in one of our 4-bedroom maisonette projects.
Using EPS Panels in Renovation Projects
Not all building challenges can be solved with concrete. In one of our recent projects, we were asked to turn a tricky sunken floor into a usable balcony. Heavy infill wasn’t an option, so we turned to Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) panels.
Strong, lightweight, and safe, EPS allowed us to level the space without compromising the structure.
At Design Key Builders, we embrace modern solutions like EPS because innovation isn’t just the future of construction, it’s the smarter way to build today.
WHAT ARE PPR PIPES IN CONSTRUCTION?
PPR pipes have become a trusted choice in modern plumbing and industrial systems thanks to their durability, resistance to heat and chemicals, and leak-proof fusion joints. Unlike metal or PVC alternatives, they don’t corrode, maintain water purity, and can last over 50 years with minimal maintenance. Safe, eco-friendly, and versatile, PPR is redefining reliability in piping solutions.
Skimming vs. Plastering – What’s the Difference in Construction?
Plastering builds it! Skimming perfects it!
In construction, these two terms get tossed around like they’re the same thing, but they’re not. Plastering is the heavy-duty process that shapes, levels, and protects your walls. Skimming? That’s the art of giving them a flawless, paint-ready finish. Think of plastering as the structure, and skimming as the polish. Both essential, but for very different reasons.
