Concrete Steel Masonry Paint Plastics Adhesives Glass Timber Stone Ceramics Raw material of wood that is processed and cut to be used in a wide variety of building functions. A naturally occuring Made from clay and other susbtance used to bond hard, clear material made of Most timbers used in construction material that has significant minerals, ceramics ae formed liquid that dries to create together 2 materials by soda, silica and lime. 60-75% are exogenous and are either structural integrity and can through high temperature firing Mix of cement, water and Alloy metal made of iron coating of protective, Plastics are made of a forming a mechanical or silica (from sand), 12-18% soda- hardwood (decorative purposes) or be used in a variety of and produce hard, durable What is the material? aggregates and carbon clay or concrete bricks decorative or functional layer chain of polymers. chemical bond ash, 5-12% lime. softwood (structural purposes) functions. materials. used to bond materisl in flooring, cladding, roffing, Commercial softwoods Structural glaziing, strucutral elements - roof and wall framing, In a wide vareity of PVC pipes, insualtion assembly.
