Learn more about our capabilities for the construction industry below.
Building Components
Using advanced techniques and materials, Lerner Molded Plastics can produce building components such as wall panels and ceiling tiles.
Wall Panels
We can manufacture plastic wall panels using the following materials:
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE is recognized for its strength, resistance to impacts, and ability to withstand chemicals. This makes it an ideal material for producing lightweight yet durable wall panels. HDPE wall panels can also be insulated to enhance thermal performance, contributing to lower energy costs for heating and cooling.
- Polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is often used to produce translucent wall panels. This material offers exceptional impact strength, superior light transmission, and effective thermal insulation. Its ability to let in natural light reduces reliance on artificial light sources during the day, leading to energy savings.
- Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP). This material combines the corrosion resistance of plastic with the strength and durability of fiberglass. It is particularly well-suited for exterior wall panels that will be exposed to harsh environmental factors. Its weather resistance and durability reduce the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
Ceiling Tiles
We can also produce ceiling tiles using the following materials:
- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). PVC is a commonly used material for ceiling tiles, offering the ideal balance of stiffness, strength, and cost-effectiveness.
- Mineral Wool. This material is often used as a core material in PVC ceiling tiles, providing superior thermal insulation and sound absorption properties.
- Fiberglass. Another core material, fiberglass provides good thermal insulation and sound-dampening properties.
Ceiling tiles contribute to energy efficiency in various ways. Their sound-absorbing capabilities help reduce noise transmission between floors, improving acoustics and reducing the need for alternative noise control methods. The thermal insulation offered by materials like fiberglass and mineral wool helps maintain temperature control within a building for reduced heating and cooling costs. Additionally, ceiling tiles can be made with reflective materials to boost natural light and decrease reliance on artificial lighting.
Construction Supplies
Lerner Molded Plastics can manufacture a wide range of construction supplies for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical applications.
HVAC Materials
We can produce ducting, piping components, and HVAC parts using the following materials:
- PVC. PVC is commonly used for HVAC piping and ductwork due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation. In comparison to metal materials, PVC is more cost-effective, lightweight, and resistant to chemicals.
- Polyethylene (PE). Polyethylene is an ideal choice for gas piping and other HVAC components because of its durability, corrosion resistance, and flexibility. Its lightweight nature simplifies installation, and its cost-effectiveness makes it a preferred choice over metal piping.
Plumbing Materials
The construction industry depends on quality plumbing components. At Lerner Molded Plastics, we can produce plumbing parts utilizing the following materials:
- PVC. PVC is a popular choice for piping and other plumbing components due to its corrosion resistance and strength. Its durability, lightweight nature, and cost-effectiveness make it a preferred choice over metal plumbing components.
- Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC). CPVC is well-suited for hot water systems due to its higher temperature resistance.
- Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX). For plumbing applications exposed to extremely cold temperatures, PEX offers a flexible, freeze-resistant solution.
Electrical Materials
Additionally, we can manufacture PVC electrical components such as wiring insulation and electrical conduit. PVC is a popular material for these applications because of its flame resistance and excellent insulating properties. Its corrosion and moisture resistance also ensure long-term durability of electrical components.
Enclosures
Enclosures play a critical role in the construction industry by protecting and securing essential systems and equipment. They help safeguard components from environmental elements, such as moisture, chemicals, weather, and debris, that can cause damage or compromise performance. Enclosures are also important in ensuring safety, as they often incorporate heat dissipation features and other safety measures designed to protect personnel from electrical hazards.
Using advanced plastic manufacturing techniques, Lerner Molded Plastics can produce lightweight, durable enclosures tailored to your specific needs. With a dedication to quality and precision, we can provide reliable enclosures capable of protecting sensitive building components and systems.
