It has been extensively used in building con Glasses are usually classified into 3 categories. Soda lime glass, lead glass and boro-silica glass. Soda lime glass is used for glazing purpose and to make ordinary glassware Lead glass is used for electrical bulbs and optical glasses. It is also called flint glass Boro-silicate glass withstands high temperatures and is therefore used for making laboratory equipment and cooking utensils. When one face of the glass is made rough by grinding it is called ground glass. Its used for windows of bath rooms and toilets. When glass is reinforced with wire mesh it is called wired glass. It is used for glazing north light trusses. Tar, bitumen and asphalt are used in damp proofing the buildings, water proofing roofs and constructing metalled roads. Tar is obtained as a by product in the distillation of coal, resinous wood, or bituminous shales. Bitumen is obtained as a by product in the refining of petroleum. ‘Asphalt is a natural or artificial mixture of some inert matter and bitumen. [Asbestos and portland cement are used in making a variety of asbestos cement (A.C products like corrugated sheets, pipes, tiles ete. These products are very popular in building construction.
