USG ME Residential Buildings Solutions

The number one priority of every building contractor/ construction is to ensure the safety of everyone that will be present in the building once erected. This is important, especially in residential buildings.

 

Our USG ME solutions for constructing any residential building are 100% reliable. 

 

Fire Emergencies

Since fire has posed a pre-eminent threat to human society, our gypsum plaster's unique fire-resistant properties have been used for ages to protect lives and buildings from fire hazards.

USG ME has two (2) methods of suppression used in building fire safety designs. They are; passive and active suppression. 

 

●     Passive Suppression:

It uses USG ME building elements, materials, and building layout to prevent ignition and limit its spread to other combustible materials in the room.

It also contains the fire within the area to prevent further spread to other parts of the residential building.

 

●     Active Suppression:

It uses mechanical methods such as; extinguishers and sprinklers to prevent the fire in its early stage to avoid spreading.

 

Residential designs can be one of the most complex aspects of construction and architecture. Well, this depends on the purpose of the building.

Although it requires time and effort, the investment can bring about important benefits like; happy tenants, reduced vacancies, higher property values and greater productivity that your tenants will value as they do the beauty of your building design.

 

Sound Attenuation

When it comes to sound, there are two ways by which sound travels;

 

●     Airborne Sound Transmission:

This is when sound travels subsequently through openings and partitions.

 

●     Impact Sound Transmission:

Sound originates when it comes in contact with a structure and travels through the structure.

Virtually every item, from floor coverings, pieces of furniture, wall partitions, and floor and ceiling assemblies for the unique qualities of any space, will achieve the most effective sound control.

At USG ME, we offer a wide range of solutions to satisfy specific requirements of residential buildings such as; sound isolation, fire protection, sound absorption and impact resistance.

Subsequently, we will be looking at USG ME solutions for residential buildings. Read on.
