it comes to choosing between perspex (also known as acrylic glass) and real glass, there are a few factors to consider. Both standard and acrylic glass has many advantages and disadvantages, so it can be tricky to decide which one is right for your needs. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons of each material:\r\rGlass is more transparent than perspex, making it great for displays and shop fronts. Standard glass is much stronger than a clear acrylic sheet. However, acrylic sheets are stronger than glass and are more unlikely to shatter upon impact.\r\rOn the other hand, perspex is lighter than glass, so it's an easier material to handle when fitting your glazing or making diy projects. It also costs less, which can be a major advantage for large jobs.\r\rGlass doesn't need to be cleaned very often because it naturally resists dirt and grime build-up. Perspex attracts fingerprints and is more easily scratched, so it needs to be cleaned regularly to keep it looking its best. It's important to always use a microfibre cloth on the acrylic glazing to prevent scratching its surface. \r\rGlass is a better insulator than acrylic glass, meaning it can help to keep your building's temperature stable. Perspex is more prone to thermal shock, meaning it can change temperature rapidly and cause the glass to break. However, acrylic glass is more weather resistant and let's more light in while still blocking UV light.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What is the difference between glass and perspex?

It has historically been more expensive than other materials used to make windows, for example, frames made of aluminium or wood. This has changed as manufacturing techniques have improved to create different glasses (such as glass).\r\rPerspex (acrylic glass) is made of polymethyl methacrylate) (PMMA), also known as acrylic or acrylite, a thermoplastic polymer.

It's typically used with multiple layers of aggregate that provide an even surface to drive on without being too rough or sharp to damage vehicle tires or harm passengers inside those vehicles. They're used in and for retaining walls (any retaining walls), parking areas, driveway, etc. It's used to make a strong base, ideal for landscaping, pavers and surrounding areas, hard stands, paths, etc.\r\rMany other types of roads are built atop different forms of material, including dirt which requires regular levelling through grading processes. However, road base can be applied over almost any soil type because its particles bond together by inserting their tiny particle chains into one another like Lego blocks to create strong seams that prevent them from shifting around when disturbed by traffic or torn up during roadway excavation projects.\r\rRoad base gravel is also used in building dams and levees because its rounded edges help reduce the amount of water penetrating its upper surfaces, which can continue to erode downward to create openings for floods over time if not prevented by structural barriers like dams or levees.\r\rThe road base material used for these types of projects is often graded based on how small they are, with gravel typically ranging in size from 4 - 10 millimetres (mm) across and sand particles measuring 2 - 4 mm in diameter. Larger rocks found within road base gravel include stones that range between 16 - 20 mm in diameter, which can be separated out during processing to acquire more pure aggregate qualities without including large expanded spaces inside them.\r\rAny project such as walkways, paving, garden, driveway or multiple driveways, parking areas, hard stands, bulka bags, etc. use this material.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Where does road base come from?","text":"Road base is usually acquired through quarries where natural rock formations are mined so dust can be extracted from the surrounding deposits. Limestone is typically quarried using drilling processes, while basalt's highly resistant surface can be broken off with explosives.\r\rGranite often breaks apart during this process due to the high temperatures generated by friction forces between its mineral components, which are exposed through heating. The material that makes up road base is then ground into small pieces before being separated into different classifications based on their sizes and specific weight measurements.\r\rRoad base gravel isn't classified in a universal way because of the varied types of stone it consists of, but instead by how large each type of particle appears relative to an individual's eyesight after processing it down to manageable sizes. Particle gradations are also used when identifying different types of gravel, with gradations typically ranging from 1 - 8.\r\rThis means that road base with particles measuring 1 mm will include all the particles in the gravel deposit that measure between 0.5 mm and 1 mm in diameter, while a grade 3 gravel would be made up of material between 2 mm and 4.9 mm in diameter.\r\rThe most common grading system is to use number 4 aggregate for roads because its larger size makes it more resistant to wear when subjected to passing traffic over long periods of time during daily commuting schedules.

For instance, gardens and pavers would have different road base demand. The price depends on the type of road base solution so you need to check out the price depending on your requirement. Colour is another thing to take care of.\r\rIf you're building or paving a basic driveway or repairing an existing roadway, you can usually estimate that 10 tonnes per metre (t/m) of road base will be sufficient for complete construction purposes. This means that a 100 m road would require 1,000 t of rock material for its foundation. The width of the road or the width of the driveway should be considered.\r\rThese figures also assume that an average 3-inch thickness is applied for roads and driveways and up to 6 inches may be used for more traffic-heavy areas like highways. The surface of the finished product needs to be taken into account when calculating the amount of road base needed, as well as any additional materials you plan to use for making it.\r\rUsing this estimated figure ensures your project has a sound foundation that will be durable enough to endure heavy traffic loads, but it's still possible to alter the makeup of your road base material based on which aspects you want it to improve. For instance, incorporating a 10 - 15 percent mixture of slag into your road base gravel will give it better freeze-thaw resistance as well as improved abrasion resistance for increased durability during winter months when snow and ice are more likely to accumulate. Get the supply of road base once measuring the required quantity.\r\rAll these factors must be accounted for when choosing how much road base gravel is needed for your construction projects so part of the finished product can perform its purpose in the most effective way possible.

We originally had Matt produce a firepit area on a piece of sloping sandy rubbishy area. Our brief was simply that we wanted a firepit area. What he produced in a week was absolutely perfect including pathway and plants. So - during winter we decided we wanted a complete update of a large backyard area plus new path too front door and new grass. Just called Matt - got a quote - didn't bother with any other quotes because its all about the quality and perfection of the works - It all looks stunning. When we want work again we will just call up Matt and get it started. You must use Land and Seascapes - there will be no better.
