Is it worth it to visit construction exhibitions?
Traditionally, in May in Krasnoyarsk in International Exhibition Business Center "Siberia" exhibition runs construction. I try to visit it, because and interesting in its construction and operation (to participate as a representative in conjunction with a partner company last year). This event is certainly not building exhibition in Moscow, where there is something to see. Bypass our halls can be within 30 minutes.
What catches the eye of regular visitors - every year about the same participants. Some are located in the same places for several years. Some market trends are very rarely seen.
At this time we decided to capture some of the participants and share their opinions, as they are of paramount attitude that, from what and how private developer built.
Each year the company participates "Building Ceramics" - representative of Wienerberger with their ceramic blocks Porotherm. Details will not comment on this material, it is now to express their opinion. On it will be a separate article with examples.
Carry these blocks in Krasnoyarsk almost half of Russia. A few years ago I asked the question to the manager why the concern is not to build a plant in the SFO? They responded that there is no clay suitable quality and its volume. Somehow I can not believe.
Wienerberger competitor pavilion with cheaper units. Blocks not as precise geometry.
Local producer TEPLOBLOK. The very concept of a multi-layer unit with a heater inside the wall I do not like. Basalt fibers connected to the armature (which is grained with sand)
But I liked the wall tiles - looks like a stamped plastic, although the concrete. Similar to a printed concrete. Who knows how it is done?
Company «Factory concrete" from Irkutsk to face local dealer. Promote polystyrene. I took a brochure where everything is so beautifully demonstrated in the characteristics and numbers at the expense of this material, even aerated rest as a wall material. The power of marketing.
Comparing the characteristics of different wall blocks I gave here
I did not see a representative of the plant AAC "Sibiti". Maybe they are all well and without any exhibits that do not deem it necessary to exhibit.
It was one of the local producers arbolita. But I never saw the exhibition of manufacturers of foam blocks and expanded clay. I do not know why: the exhibition is not effective, it is expensive for them or some other reason?
He participated in the exhibition of some manufacturer of the permanent shuttering Styrofoam and thermal panels. I'm surprised that someone else is building on this technology.
Even do not want to comment, because formwork for fast installation hides many disadvantages that they do not notice the only person who does not know how to analyze. I'm not sure that this technology is interesting for the price.
Where do without laminated veneer lumber. Manufacturers of wooden houses occupy a large market share in Siberia.
It was booth offering economy version materials for walls: a frame made of boards with a 50 mm insulation inside: ecowool or mineral wool. Photographing did not these options.
Stand manufacturer gabion nets for fences and barriers. If there is in the availability of low-cost Skalník, it turns out an interesting variant of the fence, or part of it and for the price and design.
Manufacturer mini-baths. This embodiment without oven shelf and stalls - 150 thousand. rub. A strong foundation is not required. If space is limited at the site (e.g., in the country of 6 ar), we obtain a beautiful and elegant embodiment bath.
Local manufacturer of wall and partition wall of concrete blocks. At its base at the outskirts of the city regularly buy cement.
Traditionally involved local producer of fiberglass reinforcement. Tape fence, foundation and pavings he acquired the spa. We talked. Took the price, the price increased by 5% compared to last year. Maybe, and we left last year, but the change in the VAT rate is not allowed to do this.
Pavilion one of the producers vibropressed pavers. He spoke at the expense of technology "Washed concrete." Their equipment of pebbles such products do.
Second producer vibropressed paving uprated frost resistance and water absorption. Service life - up to 30 years. German equipment. Quality is different from paving stones, made by casting into molds.
Their line of paving stones with a surface of "Washed concrete." But because filler - a large homogeneous sand, the surface is not as impressive. But it looks more advantageous in comparison with conventional paving stones.
As understood, this is achieved by tilting the surface of the molded paving blocks and flushing water flow.
Washed pavers under the tree.
Some sverhinteresnyh materials and technologies not seen for several years. While there, stopped at the pavilion of one representative with innovative paints:
Nanopropitki, ultra-efficient heat and chemical protection with unique characteristics. Interested in Polyurethane adhesives for concrete, which gives the effect of wet stone and durability of the surface. Perhaps we should examine and ask the price.
I walked by pavilions with representatives in the heating, ventilation and climate control systems. But to show the engineering and bright differences of each manufacturer - and a few articles will not be enough. Therefore, I skip this topic.
The conclusion is: if you have never been to these exhibitions, it is likely that many will be interesting: to see what material on the market, talk to their representatives. But those who each year attend such events - a new and interesting things for themselves are unlikely to emphasize.
This is evident in the number of visitors - do not walk in crowds. This time, even some of the halls were empty. Organizers could make a discount (as last minute).
And most importantly: in the past few years, little has changed in the field of the submitted materials, equipment and technologies.
