Building Construction Plastics (NAICS 2361, 2362, 237990)

From roofing to windows, doors, and piping, plastics are used in many aspects of building construction.

Pipes and Fittings: Plastic pipes made from PVC and HDPE are widely used for plumbing, drainage, and irrigation systems. Plastic fittings, including couplings, elbows, and connectors, are used to join and redirect pipes.

Roofing Materials: Plastic materials like polycarbonate sheets and PVC membranes are used for roofing applications. These materials offer durability, light transmission, weather resistance, and insulation properties.

Insulation: Plastic foam boards see use as thermal and sound insulation in walls, roofs, and floors. Polyurethane spray foam insulation is also used for insulating cavities and gaps.

Windows and Doors: PVC is a common material used for window frames and door profiles. It offers good insulation, durability, and low maintenance requirements. Plastic films or laminates may be used for window glazing.

Interior Fixtures and Finishes: Plastics are used for multiple interior applications, including wall panels, ceiling tiles, flooring materials (such as vinyl and laminate), countertops, and decorative trim.

Electrical Components: Plastic materials are used for electrical boxes, conduits, cable trays, and wiring accessories due to their electrical insulation properties and ease of installation.

Plastics for construction applications fall under NAICS code #236115, 236116, 236210, 236220, and 237990 as well as SIC code #1629.
