Tile Express joined once again the annual PHILCONSTRUCT event last November 7-10, 2019. Held at the World Trade Center and SMX Mall of Asia, PhilConstruct is the country’s biggest gathering of who’s who in the building and construction industry. This year marks the 30th year of Philconstruct. We featured some of our best-selling products such as the Pasadena, Architect, and Vienna tile series. As well as the Rustico, Mureto, and Creole mosaics, which are all perfect accents to these tiles. We also featured our new sanitary ware products from Vivari, where a live product demo was conducted for the Chase Gold Smart Toilet, our top of the line toilet that features a heated seat and wireless remote control .

ARC Welding : ARC welding is one of the oldest welding processes around. It uses either an AC or DC power supply to create an electric arc between the welding rod and the workpiece metal to melt the metals and join them together. This style of welding is relatively inexpensive and very portable but it does require some practice to get good consistent welds and the welds will probably require some arc weldercleaning up afterwards. ARC welding is less suited to welding thinner materials but there is a large range of specialist electrodes (welding rods) available for ARC welders depending on what materials you are welding. ARC welding is versatile but more suited to heavier applications. Eliminate Any Extra Welds from the Design: Look for ways to modify product designs to eliminate unnecessary welds. For example, one company that manufactured boxes originally had a design that called for welded lift handles on each side of the box. By simply changing the design of the box to cut out lifting slots, it eliminated the need for welding the handles - saving time and money. In another instance, rather than making a part with an open corner, the design was changed to accommodate a closed corner, which meant 1/3 less metal required to fill the corner. Look for Items That Can Be Welded Rather Than Cast: We've already discussed ways to eliminate welds to create efficiencies, but what about adding welds? In some cases, it may be more cost effective to weld metal pieces to a part rather than cast the entire component in a costly alloy or exotic metal. For example, a company that originally used a part cast in a high-nickel alloy found that 50 percent of the part could be composed of standard, structural steel which allowed a savings in material and thus a savings in total cost. Also, the company was further able to redesign the part so that it was more efficient. Searching for the best Welding Supplies? We recommend Welding Supplies Direct & associated company TWS Direct Ltd is an online distributor of a wide variety of welding supplies, welding equipment and welding machine. We supply plasma cutters, MIG, TIG, ARC welding machines and support consumables to the UK, Europe and North America. Put a vent hole in anything you weld that will be sealed up completely: Put a vent hole in anything you weld that will be sealed up completely or air will heat up and expand and blow away your shielding gas or even blow out at the end of the weld bead. Some machined joints that are sealed on one end will not even allow you to start welding because the fit is so good that the part is air tight before you even weld. Other machined parts where a part is pressed in and bottomed out can give cracking problems because there is no where for the part to shrink. If you have to weld something that has been pressed in and bottomed out, make sure to add more filler metal than average to tacks and the final weld bead. That is to prevent the cracking that happens when you run a concave bead and the metal has nowhere to shrink. - [Read More]

High quality landscape maintenance firm in Southern California? A garden adds style, beauty and so much breathing space to any house or building! Many people living in busy streets and cities, crave to have their own garden, just for the serenity it offers. From designing, constructing to the regular maintenance, Siapin Horticulture provides all the required services. Our experts will first understand your exact needs and the vision that you may have and then turn your needs to practical landscape designs. Once you are convinced about the garden design we will begin the work of landscaping and construction. Whether you are looking for something creative, contemporary or traditional, we can help you achieve it. Here at Gelson's Market in Century City, we wanted to bring some green to the entrance which really seemed to be a concrete jungle. We went with some modern flower boxes and drought friendly succulents to really change things up. Siapin Horticulture is well known for landscape design and construction even in a downtown "concrete jungle" habitat. Chapman plaza located in Koreatown is a Los Angeles landmark. Dan and the Siapin Horticulture crew stepped up to the plate to facelift the historic property without taking the history out of this now bustling little plaza that is home to a dozen cool eateries including the Quarters Korean BBQ. Siapin Horticulture installed new trellis on the back wall for the plant life to grow upwards as well as add some classic terracotta pots to the location. Check out the video and the photos below. Gutters and curbs transport flow fast to a stormwater drain without allowing for pollutant removal or infiltration using an inlet filter. Eliminating gutters and curbs can reduce runoff volumes and increase sheet flow. Maintaining sheet flow by removing gutters and curbs that direct runoff into bioretention basins and swales that are vegetated helps to prevent soil erosion by stormwater also helps retain hydraulic conditions (pre-development). A level distributor, which is a channel designed to convert concentrated discharge into a level stream and evenly distribute it on a slope, can also be included to prevent soil erosion. A nice patio that is also environmentally friendly is something a lot of people want to be around. We were able to make that happen here at Siapin Horticulture. During this high profile project in Fox Plaza in Century City, we installed a new patio for the office building. Aside from just adding a new seating area, this project was unique because of the "epic system", which captures all rainwater on sight and stores in the pipes on the ground which feeds the plants. This is a better technique than just recycling the water. Something else that might stand out is the drip irrigation which also has the potential to save water by granting the water to slowly go down to the roots of the plants, that way the water can most likely go directly into the roots and help avoid evaporation. - [Read More]

Top electric chainsaws of 2020 Gas-powered saws are great because they're incredibly powerful. However, they do require tedious maintenance and also tend to be much louder than battery-powered options. It's also worth mentioning that while many of Husqvarna's chainsaws are built to consume as little fuel as possible, gas chainsaws still produce exhaust fumes and are not fantastic for the environment. Electric chainsaws (or battery-powered chainsaws) may not be as popular as their gas-powered counterparts, but they are extremely useful for particular projects. Some are corded with 110-volt plugs while others are cordless, though the cordless versions tend to not be as high-powered. Still, don't count these chainsaws out. They can still be quite powerful machines that can get the job done. If you're more than a casual chainsaw user, capable of handling up to a 13 pound saw, and want a top-quality and highly reliable saw, the Husqvarna 460 24-Inch 60cc Rancher will be an excellent choice for you. A centrifugal air cleaning system is also part of this machine. It helps remove large pieces of debris and dust before they make their way into the air filter. This helps reduce air filter cleanings and extend the engine life. Lightweight and ergonomic design make this machine a great deal for all homeowners, including absolute beginners. Why? It's defined by two words- the ultimate power and quality! In other terms, it's a robust all-round chainsaw that performs exceptionally well for jobs more demoing cutting jobs where more power will be needed for longer guide bar. With its 4.85 HP engine, the Husqvarna 365 is one of the most powerful Husqvarna chainsaws in the market, and it is designed to cater for the professional that is looking for a robust and versatile power tool. And besides the powerful motor, it also has a longer bar length of 28 inches that gives it more cutting width to ensure you can cut large logs in one or a few passes. Its X-Torq engine makes it a more environment-friendly chainsaw that is highly fuel efficient and with minimal exhaust emission level. This powerful chainsaw also uses the more efficient centrifugal air cleaning system, and quick air filter release that makes filter cleaning and replacement easy. The Smart Start feature makes it easy and quick to start and the chainsaw also has LowVib, front handle ergonomics and side-mounted chain tensioner. - [Read More]
