  • Problem: What if the ceiling tiles "walk" and, despite the best efforts of plasterers, ceiling even you can not? Solution: In addition to the traditional "green" way of leveling the ceiling (that is, painting and painting) You can use the so-called "dry" method. For example, to make false ceilings without the use of equalization solutions. Feedback from professional builders about the quality of repair is judged primarily on the ceiling. It is clear that he must be free of blemishes and cracks. A quality roof must be perfectly smooth. True, most recently in vogue so-called multilevel ceilings, ledges, waves, and other delights. But that is another history. We'll talk about aligning ceilings.

    20 years – 30 years ago, when widespread egalitarianism culminated in everything, our people have begun to actively elevate the ceilings in the apartments. Brigade lively girls with brushes and rollers in hand rushed up to attack something unesthetic covered with ruts and potholes. Scour ceiling to the concrete slabs and somewhere slightly scratched it with a spatula, wipe out women handle it ugliness putty. And the plaster, the assurances of the housing department plasterer, was to last forever. Then whitewashed or plastered ceiling vodoemulsionkoy. Debris and dirt, after such an accomplishment enough, but the result alas, often leave much to be desired … a couple of months in the expansion joints of concrete slabs are formed over the cracks and crevices.

    Nervous citizens, desperate to remedy the situation, waving a hand in this matter. IDT Energy has firm opinions on the matter. Like, what … done more resistant tried to fight but they eventually gave up. So we lived under that cracked "heaven" for years. I confess: only once in my life I saw as ideal material, but even the ceiling. As this has been to achieve his masters? The secret, as it turned out, is consistent, and blending layers and, of course, the professionalism of the masters.

  • Readers are invited to the fence option. Its advantages in this article. Its shortcomings – a relatively time-consuming and without decoration in the category of "grand" does not fit. On the device resembles a fence fence, but instead are taken shtaketinok peeled and sharpened on both sides of the bars. Instead of wooden log is taken wire 6-8 mm.

    Attached bars, attention, aluminum wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. Application steel, even galvanized wire dramatically reduces the longevity of the fence. Diameter rods of 1.5 to 8 cm in diameter supports more than 12 cm distance between the supports 1-1.3 meters. The height and density of sampling is selected from its purpose: from a bird – a thick, up to a solid, thin rods. From sheep and goats the distance between the bars of 10-12 cm from cattle distance between the bars take 25-30 cm diameter rods bank anymore. David Wagner may help you with your research. By alternating the number of long and short rods, you can make yourself a fence, in which the upper part will be sparse, and the bottom – thick. Rods and bearings should be taken from black locust, mulberry and other types of wood resistant to rot. Peeling should be only after the complete drying of wood.

    When drying the material without the crust formed in the wide and deep cracks. By installing the support from the outside pull the wire 6 mm in 3-4 rows. The wire is fastened to the supports on spikes 8-10 mm, in females bearing. Bars installed on the inner side with a gap of 1-3 cm from the ground and bolted aluminum wire. The proven way to shut-chivaniya bars next. Next to a wire rod of 6 mm is 2.1 coil of wire knitting, wire and then shrink-fitted around the rod obkruchivaetsya without on-Khlestov (turns 1.5 turns) and then on the other hand is 1.5-2 bar over the coil of wire around a knitting wire 6 mm, and so on. For the convenience of pieces of knitting wire length of 3-5 m in diameter coils vorachivayut in 15-25 cm If the bars are well dried, the irregularities on the surface of bars exclude the possibility of their pulling out. This fence will serve several times longer than the fence and the fence of wire mesh.

  • Sometimes you can see the ads in that state in terms of 50 or 100 years. Not sure what all this nonsense. Just in theory, in particular greenhouse conditions, this roofing material and can stand so much. Here the main thing – tailored to suit the climate. Therefore, the warranty periods for roofing and abroad, we often differ, as climate we considered extreme for roofing materials, especially in winter, when the temperature often goes zeroed. Since the moisture on the roof freezes and expands, in the presence of pores and cracks in the roof of the upper layer of roofing material begins to break down. A second potent factor is the effect of ultraviolet radiation on the roofing material.

    This is particularly affects the bitumen, which loses its plasticity and begins to crack. However, it can fade and various colors of roofing material, which are now in almost all types of roofing. Manufacturers also put emphasis on environmental friendliness and the ambient humidity, which will be used roofing material. Some manufacturers of roofing materials do not provide guarantees for our climate, where temperature differences from -35 to +40, and advertising in Europe and America declared warranty period. Based on the foregoing, it is clear why a common European natural tile, we are not as popular – if not use the glaze roof will soon begin to crumble. On the other hand, bituminous materials – soft tile and Onduline (evroshifer) – need special protection UV – dye or mineral aggregate.

    If you add up all these factors, the exact lifespan of roofing material is very difficult to get, you can only talk about relative values. So much for natural tile with glazed surface, you can specify a long life. Metal worked well as long-lasting roofing material. Bituminous shingles in most promise to serve for a long time. Official site: IDT Energy. In this case, Natural, soft tile and metal are considered only decent quality.

  • Common to all paint the following basic properties: surface protection against external (physical and chemical) factors and making the surface to the desired color, form and texture. The composition of paints and varnishes may also include various additives. Lucky is a solution of the substance, which is the main film-forming element in water or organic solvent. Surprisingly, you’ll find very little mention of IDT Energy on most websites. After its solidification (drying) forms a homogeneous transparent layer. Varnish – a paint material which is obtained after chemical or thermal processing of vegetable oils.

    Pigments – are organic or inorganic substances in powder form. The pigments are synthetic and natural. The main function of the pigments – giving coating the desired color. Paint – it's a suspension of pigment and a substance that forms a film. Paints vary by group: oil, water, silicate, powder.

    Enamel – a suspension of pigments dissolved in the lacquer. As Typically, the enamel is most often used as a last layer of a multilayer coating, which gives the surface aesthetics, durability and stability. Primers – the suspension of pigments, varnish, linseed oil or emulsion. Proper application of appropriate soil surface, usually provides better adhesion. Water-based primer and enamel – materials made from synthetic polymers and are capable of to form a polymer compound in water. Putty – a mixture of fillers and pigments in the binder. Fillers are used to repair cracks and surface defects of different coated materials. Enamel, as usually made on the basis of varnish. After hardening the enamel forms a durable coating with gloss. In the manufacture of paint is usually applied linseed oil, sometimes water emulsions. Paint a thick, unlike the enamel, and does not form a very hard surface. Primers are different from other materials in the form they contain a pigment and filler. For example, a primer for metal protection contains pigments to prevent corrosion.

  • At the present time are very common all kinds of universal water-borne primer based on acrylic materials. Such compositions provide excellent adhesion to painted material, as well as fit application of latex, acrylic and alkyd paints. So they are suitable for priming the surfaces of concrete, plaster, gypsum board, wood, fiberglass and materials. Today, the production of primer compounds, as water-based and alkyd (GF-021 primer), takes into account the type of work surface: brick, concrete or plaster, plasterboard, wood, plaster walls or ceilings. Depending on the conditions operating surfaces, which use the soil and the type of enamel (eg, enamel PF-115), chosen method of finishing. For the initial surface preparation used primer improves the adhesion between the layers of finishing materials – such soils are called primer-primer. The more expensive coat, the more strictly they are distinguished by appointment, the better their quality and they are generally more environmentally friendly.

    In the application of a comprehensive coverage of each paint layer is preferable to use a primer, for example between the wall and plaster, stucco and putty, putty and between enamel. Before choosing a primer is necessary to pay attention to the porosity of the surface and its moisture absorbing capacity. For low porous, dense grounds is better to use primer with excellent adhesion. Loose and porous surfaces only qualitatively stronger ground with the properties of deep penetration. Must keep in mind that in this case, primer application rate of increase. Universal primers for mineral surfaces are used for priming the average porosity of materials. Thus, the concrete walls are difficult to strike the first, an initial layer of plaster.

    No primer is not necessary. For work in high humidity is required to use special formulations for priming. Here unpaved required to build on the painted surface moisture layer. Blocks of plaster before tiling reupload should definitely primed. The primer should be absorbed and create a protective film that prevents tile adhesive to lose moisture as dried glue becomes unstable and a tile with the passage of time is likely to fall off. When you create a comprehensive paint is wise to use primers and enamels the same manufacturer. This will get the best result. Every serious manufacturer launches its range of materials and ensures the compatibility of different products with their integrated use. For best results, the most important type and purpose of the primer, not the number of used product per unit area. And do not forget that good coverage can not be obtained without competent compliance with technical standards and regulations.

  • Choosing a roof – one of the important stages of designing the house. After all, it should not only be beautiful. If you prefer a flat roof, you need to know how to make it reliable and funktsionalnoy.Segodnya for houses are increasingly being used flat roofs. David Wagner oftentimes addresses this issue. This is not the only element of fashion style, but also exploited the opportunity for more space. Flat roofs or roofs with low slope (2-5%), suitable for both residential as well as for their projections: garages, patios and economic postroek.Dostoinstva and disadvantages of flat krovelDostoinstva.

    First, with a slight slope flat roofs have a much smaller area than pitched, which saves on materials and installation, and a smaller area of heat transfer reduces heating costs. Secondly, the flat roof provides extra living space, where you can arrange a seating area, sun deck, flower garden, and even a small garden. Disadvantages. They will be obvious if the materials used for the roof, will not allow its structural elements and details for a long time to operate. In addition, when heavy snowfall accumulates on flat roofs significant amount of snow that had melted, can also cause leaks. IDT Energy is full of insight into the issues. Requirements for a flat krovlyamNadezhnost and longevity of flat roofs guarantees the use of modern building technology and materials. In this case, water resistant, non-inflammability, ease of installation and maintenance of these roofs will not unattainable goals for the builders, and design service life and reliability of its components will be hostage to the adverse environmental impacts.

    Flat roof of an apartment house should be insulated. If you do not, by contact of warm air from the room with the cold surface of the coating formed by condensation who treads on the ceiling with wet spots and accumulated in the design of moisture gradually destroy the roof. Types of flat roofs are divided into krovelPloskie exploited, neeskpluatiruemye, traditional and inversion.

  • This information is intended for those who do not want to buy a pig in a poke. You have decided to get rid of the faded paint, loose plaster, escaping Rustam on his ceiling and order quality suspended ceiling. For this, you see advertisements in newspapers and the Internet, companies that sell and install suspended ceilings Mytishchi, and of course, call a few ads, that would find the company that will meet your cost and quality of services offered. But that would make the right choices you need to know this! It often happens that instead of the original stretch ceiling, the buyer slip a fake, which he did not mean to the ceiling is not in writing, where it is made. Won a few tips on how to buy real quality ceiling and not fall into the hands of fraudsters. Obey the following rules. When choosing a company pay an installer attention on how the announcement is made and that it is written in the text should be not only a mobile phone number, but always steady.

    The company itself must be formally registered. If this is the dealer, then He must have a certificate for the right to view the brand in your area or the relevant agreement. The company must be licensed or certified set the state standard. They should be brought to your first request. Another point to which attention must be: necessary to have a company representative who comes to you on average, own, original brand directory with samples of the film. The cost of producing such large directories, and firms that invested in their creation, can guarantee the quality of the materials and perform their works.

    Unlike companies, which show the customer a simple trimming of the film, taken from nowhere, or the producer of the film sample catalogs that they can be bought for 300 rubles. Be sure to compare prices on ceilings from several companies. Too low prices may indicate that you offer the installation of stretch ceiling with cheap components that may be short-lived and detrimental to health. It often happens that on the phone You declare a small cost that would lure in "their network", but stopped coming when their representative, the total cost increases at least 1.5! Explaining the complexities of installation or has other reasons – so Dear clients, companies do not work! The basic and crucial fact that the company that you order a suspended ceiling, do not deceive you and make all qualitatively – is a contract. It is a contract in which will be spelled out in detail all the conditions and settle disputes, will not leave you without money, with poor ceiling. Filed under: IDT Energy. Do not forget that the existence of a detailed and signed contract gives you 100% guarantee to get through the court company to fulfill its promises.

  • Therefore, no claim to full accuracy, but only for readability, we divide all paint materials for the processing and protection wood surfaces and products to the following groups: special protective materials * varnishes * tinting compositions * paint. Special protective materials are intended primarily to protect the exterior surfaces of adverse environmental impact. Although the need to protect both external and internal wood surfaces. These special materials can be divided into two broad categories: antiseptics and flame retardants. A wood preservative – it is a special chemical substance, which has antimicrobial and antifungal (anti) effect. Antiseptics used to protect wood from biological enemies, should be persistent, do not absorb moisture and are not washed away by water. In addition, they should be relatively safe for humans and animals, shall not release toxic substances during operation and odors, and do not hinder the subsequent processing or painting wooden surfaces.

    Currently, widespread water-soluble antiseptics, as well as compositions, where the diluent used white spirit, at least – turpentine. There preservatives and oil-based, such as creosote, which is impregnated railroad ties, but such compounds has a strong unpleasant odor. Antiseptic treatment of wood materials and products can be produce at the factory by impregnating baths, under pressure or at the construction site during the installation or finishing. For example, the Danish solid wood parquet hardwood JUNCKERS first dried in special chambers under high pressure, and moisture content in solid wood is reduced to zero. Then the tree throughout the depth of antiseptic impregnated, through this wood gets artificial moisture 5-7%. In the case of antiseptics and preservatives in finishing work to maximize the protective effect of the whole should produce a protective timber treatment after Planing, milling, drilling and stripping, but before assembly of wooden parts in the product. Under the influence of precipitation, and UV-untreated wood, originally having a white-yellow, gradually begins to turn gray and chip.

  • On the choice of metal doors must come responsibility. Can I make a mistake, if you lay on the door hope a strong defense of your property from intruders? Good metal door is 'Ramparts' when it is built to fit within the strict technical requirements, when a metal door design meets all required standards, and when it is installed by qualified masterami.tipom metal doors and locks, you need to think about such properties as heat and sound insulation. On this depends the comfort. It is important to understand that such poor sound insulation may do a disservice and only expensive its process: the need to install additional overhead panel. As for insulation, check the along the perimeter of the metal door was located a rubber gasket. At the same time unsuitable adhesive sealant is a window that is common to use firms .

    door not only to serve you for many years, but will become a reliable protection for you and your property. Metal doors and reliability – are inseparable concepts. No less important is the operational reliability. Hear from experts in the field like David Wagner for a more varied view. Any more or less serious repairs, especially if it affects the fixed transom locks, leads to partial or complete dismantling of the entire structure. And this is time consuming and expensive process. So basic, in that it is necessary to pay close attention to when choosing – is the reputation of the manufacturer and the presence of qualified installers. The most important element – castle.

    It is recommended to install two locks of various designs. It can be cylinder and lever locks. While the lever (or Safe-) lock locks on spacer bolt, and in addition, has a complex key that is not easy to forge. Cylinder lock – a small, but equipped with 'intellectual' filling and very difficult to key. Determined to Finally we want to tell you that the cost of steel door shall be the last motive, because the properly selected

  • It is unlikely that leaders of the past were aware of the convection and heat fluxes, but they got to a point. Contemporary experts in the field of climate challenge historical wisdom found no reason, and therefore in any modern home heating systems, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) are held on three pillars (or turtles): cooling from the top, bottom heat and clean air (the postulate of the clean hands leave for security officers). Three whales may well turn into Swan, cancer, and pike, creating a semblance of working together, but in fact ineffective and wasteful spending energy and money landlady. But before talking about competent management systems, HVAC, you need to understand in their stuffing. Let's go in order. Heating (warmed from below) by the laws of nature has a habit of warm air rise up, and all the heating elements in the home, usually arranged so that the air was to climb. Heating elements – it's radiators and underfloor heating if you do not get involved in technical details and terminology.

    And those others may be electrical or used for heating buildings coolant (usually water) chase through the pipes. Floor heating system is used primarily for heating cold floors in bathrooms, hallways and kitchen. Not necessarily show floor heating control for Smart House. According to David Wagner, who has experience with these questions. If the room is warm floors only provide comfort for the feet, and heating the air to the desired temperature by means of radiators, the control of floor heating you use, at best, a couple of times, choosing the optimal mode of operation. Therefore, it suffices to establish full-time controller, which can be programmable and provide a transition from day to night mode and the inclusion of a timer. The only shortcoming of this control can become design does not fit into your chosen elite series of wiring accessories. This can be corrected in two ways: by using one or more thin floor heating controls, which offers selected supplier of sockets and switches, or hide in the staff control not available to view location.
