Temperatures are finally starting to drop all over the US. It’s starting to feel like fall everywhere you look, whether that’s your coffee shop menu or the trees outside your window. And while everyone should enjoy this new season, certain industries need to turn their eyes forward to a much harsher season that is around the corner. Contractors and construction teams need to know exactly how they will handle low temperatures and keep their winter projects on schedule.

You can’t think about a Texas summer without thinking about extreme heat. Across the Lone Star State, temperatures are ranging from the mid-80s to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. While some have the luxury of being able to wait out these soaring temperatures in a cool, insulated building (or maybe even a swimming pool), general contractors and construction crews have project deadlines to meet. The extreme conditions they are facing not only pose challenges to completing projects on time, but can also pose a risk for heat-related illnesses. Polygon is working with general contractors in Texas and across the US to make construction sites safer and create ambient conditions that prevent delays and protect finishes.

The cost-effective nature and versatility of drywall make it one of the most commonly used construction materials in the world. The gypsum used in the material also makes it fire-resistant. Drywall also comes with its challenges. It’s not particularly resistant to impact, so holes, cracks, and blemishes can easily appear. Protective coatings work well to protect the surface, but if the drywall isn’t installed properly, the coating can make it very difficult to repair tapes and joints that fail due to improper installation.

Polygon has been named to Construction Tech Review Magazine's Top 10 HVAC Consulting/Service Companies. The publication's editorial board compiles this list of noteworthy companies that "solve challenges by implementing current technological trends in the space."
