    Compare porcelain and faience | What is best for the sink

    The bath­room is not only a place to relax after a hard day, but also a cor­ner where you can com­fort­ably and, most impor­tant­ly, safe­ly take hygiene pro­ce­dures. Not the last role is played by envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly and high-qual­i­ty san­i­tary ware. And what if not ceram­ics is best suit­ed for this? But the ques­tion is:…

  • Compare dry screed and self-leveling floor

    Compare dry screed and self-leveling floor

    Dry screed and self-lev­el­ing floor are two sim­i­lar tech­nolo­gies. The pecu­liar­i­ty of the first is that it is actu­al­ly a dry ver­sion of the sec­ond. Under what con­di­tions is a screed more opti­mal, and for what sit­u­a­tions is a self-lev­el­ing floor suit­able? To answer this ques­tion, it is nec­es­sary to have an under­stand­ing of the…

  • Compare polystyrene and mineral wool

    Compare polystyrene and mineral wool

    Builders often argue about which insu­la­tion is bet­ter to choose for cer­tain con­di­tions. Some say — poly­styrene, oth­ers insist on the good old min­er­al wool. In gen­er­al, both options are great for home insu­la­tion, since they have almost iden­ti­cal ther­mal con­duc­tiv­i­ty coef­fi­cients. But oth­er than that, they are rad­i­cal­ly dif­fer­ent. Our experts under­stood the ques­tion:…

  • Compare plywood and chipboard

    Compare plywood and chipboard

    The lev­el of qual­i­ty of floor fin­ish­ing depends to a large extent on the type of fin­ish­ing mate­r­i­al cho­sen. Ply­wood and chip­board have been hold­ing the palm for a long time. How to assess the rel­e­vance of the use of a par­tic­u­lar mate­r­i­al? To do this, you need to have an idea about the fea­tures…

  • Compare lining and imitation timber

    Compare lining and imitation timber

    Fin­ish­ing with nat­ur­al wood has not lost its rel­e­vance for many years, although mate­ri­als that imi­tate real wood are try­ing to com­pete with it. Among a vari­ety of lum­ber, imi­ta­tion tim­ber and lin­ing are con­sid­ered one of the most ver­sa­tile, but many are con­fused about the intri­ca­cies of each prod­uct. Our experts will tell you…

  • Compare ondulin and corrugated board

    Compare ondulin and corrugated board

    When ana­lyz­ing the mate­ri­als used to cov­er the roof, we were faced with the fact that many devel­op­ers can­not choose between ondulin and cor­ru­gat­ed board. We will not give peremp­to­ry advice, since it is up to you to choose, but we will try to make this dif­fi­cult choice eas­i­er by mak­ing a small com­par­i­son. The…

  • Compare chipboard and MDF

    Compare chipboard and MDF

    Among the rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the male half of our edi­to­r­i­al staff, one dis­pute some­how hap­pened, and the debaters tried to find out what was bet­ter and how chip­board dif­fered from MDF. This top­ic seemed inter­est­ing, so we decid­ed to con­duct a com­par­a­tive analy­sis of these pop­u­lar mate­ri­als. It turned out that they are iden­ti­cal at…

  • Compare claydite block and gas block

    Compare claydite block and gas block

    Start­ing con­struc­tion, our read­ers often ask which is bet­ter: expand­ed clay or gas block, what are the dif­fer­ences and whether these pop­u­lar build­ing mate­ri­als have sim­i­lar­i­ties. Since child­hood, we know that every­thing is known in com­par­i­son, there­fore, how can one say what is bet­ter with­out mak­ing a com­par­a­tive analy­sis, oth­er­wise the con­ver­sa­tion will be about…

  • Compare Alabaster and gypsum

    Compare Alabaster and gypsum

    Alabaster and gyp­sum — these con­cepts are often con­fused, which can lead to incor­rect use of gyp­sum mate­ri­als, as they have dif­fer­ent prop­er­ties from each oth­er and are used for dif­fer­ent pur­pos­es. Our build­ing experts under­stand the ter­mi­nol­o­gy and fea­tures of these mate­ri­als to pro­vide clar­i­ty and help you choose the right one for your…

    Compare drywall and plaster | What is best for walls

    Often, if it is nec­es­sary to fin­ish the premis­es in new build­ings or dur­ing repairs, the ques­tion aris­es: which option to choose for lev­el­ing the walls — sheath­ing with plas­ter­board sheets or plas­ter? No one can give a direct answer to this ques­tion, because each of these types of fin­ish­es has cer­tain advan­tages, but also…
