Ceiling – TEC CARIBE MODULAR BUILDING

Products

Breaching of the building envelope through damage to the roof, windows, doors or a flood event can allow humidity and moisture to enter which can facilitate the growth of mold. The use of construction materials such as concrete, gypsum drywall and acoustic tile which absorb and retain water can promote the growth of mold and mildew leading to respiratory illnesses & disease such as asthma and COPD.

TEC CARIBE Products are inorganic and water insoluble. They do not deteriorate and lose structural support when wet, support mold or mildew for the lifetime of the building.

TEC CARIBE Innovative Materials used in External Wall Construction

There are many types of building materials used in construction. Each material has different properties such as weight, strength, durability and cost which makes it suitable for certain types of applications. The choice of materials for construction is based on cost and effectiveness to resisting the loads and stresses acting on the structure.

The manufacturing of building materials is a well established and standardized industry capable of providing a reliable supply of high-quality materials for our structures.The production of structural-grade building materials is subject to quality control procedures that involve inspection and testing according to national standards and scientific testing methods.

Magnesium oxide is a versatile mineral that when used as part of a cement mixture and cast into thin cement panels under proper curing procedures and practices can be used in residential and commercial building construction.

Fire safety

To address fire safety, ceiling tiles made from mineral fibres, plastic, tin, composite, or fire-rated wood panels can be used within the construction to meet acceptable standards/ratings. Some tiles, in specific situations, can provide the needed additional resistance to meet the “time rating” required for various fire code, city ordinance, commercial, or other similar building construction regulations.

Fire ratings for ceiling panels vary based on the materials used, the preparation of each panel, and the safety testing and third party evaluation done to determine where and how they can be safely installed. In the United Kingdom, tiles from certain manufacturers may be required be clipped into the grid with special ceiling clips to provide a fire rating; there are special tiles designed for the underside of mezzanine floors however that can give a fire rating without being clipped.
