Plastics in construction

Plastics in construction are versatile materials used for a variety of building purposes, such as piping, window frames, insulation, and weatherproofing. They are lightweight, durable, resistant to corrosion, and can be molded into different shapes and sizes. Plastics help improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and increase speed of installation. Common types include PVC (used for pipes and siding), polyethylene (for insulation and membranes), and polycarbonate (for windows and skylights). Their flexibility and durability make them integral to modern construction, offering practical solutions for many structural and aesthetic needs.
