To accommodate this, the function of each room is designed to be multifunctional, where space is at this moment can change function in accordance with the needs in the future.

Private and Service Areas
Ground floor functioned as a public area, which consists of the pantry and living room are limited by the pond as an area for natural air into the room. The concept of space on the ground floor was left open without any partition or wall so that space with another one together and feel more spacious.
The top floor served as private and service areas. Area consists of private bedroom and study. Study area is multifunctional, which at the time homeowners later married and have families, so this space will serve as a child's room. And at the time of the study changed the functions into the bedroom, study area can be moved into the corridor.

Furthermore, service area consists of drying area (clothing) and the warehouse. Warehouse space to the front can be served as a maid's bedroom. External appearance of buildings in the design as simple as possible with the finishing materials to minimize exposure to the development fund, also with minimal maintenance costs.
Interior of the building is also designed to utilize the remaining construction materials, like bamboo for the buffer (Steger) which is used as a finishing wall, as well as a room accent. While the ceiling of the room on the ground floor is designed without plafond with nothing concrete to expose on the floor above, Finishing the walls and floors in several rooms also left natural, with color as a medium made to provide harmonization in each space.

Ornamental plants or pandanus fractures can be selected Bali as the main crop. While small plants can Sansiviera select the type or Bromelia.

For additional components, can use a shotgun coral, coral brush, or natural stone. It could also be a rock pool. If the selected concept is the natural style, the wood materials can be selected. That is not less important is the lighting. Placement must be precise, because it determines the appearance of dry garden. Then, how about planting the media? In general, the planting medium is used to dry the same park with regular parks which is using the land fertile.

For the medium there is no special treatment. Problem planting media thickness was also not a problem, as opposed to a park on the shoulder. Noteworthy is the matter of maintenance garden plants dry filler. Usually several types of plants for dry gardens is a waterproof type. So, should be maintained not to foul, because the lack of light will make automatic evaporation decreases. The key, do not select the type of plant. Cambodia, for example, is less precise.

Plan Carefully Park


Creating the garden should not be arbitrary, if not carefully planned you will only create a bush and littering the landscape. A park was created in order to bring the beauty, Whether or not a beautiful garden of the election determined softscape and hardscape materials, color composition and shape, and overall harmony of design. Some of the planning in process is often ignored because it will seem trivial, but actually very decisive beauty of the park later. Following points should be observed, so that the park is actually created in accordance with our expectations.


Two key things to prepare are preparing garden designs or concepts and technical prepare. Preparation is the design engineering design drawings in accordance with the concept of garden design desired. Making the pattern of land, preparation of electrical and water installations, storage and determining the point of planting a few things that must be summarized in the concept design created. This design will serve as guidelines for subsequent plans. To create this design, should consider some technical work to be done to make the park, the following description are:

1. Preparing Land
These activities include excavation work and the reversal of land, hilling, destruction and provision of fertilizers or addition of nutrients in the soil. In addition to prepare land for crops planted and ready to have the appropriate contours of our expectations, this process also frees the land from weeds that will interfere with future plant growth. This process is often overlooked because often we do not wait to get or directly to plant so that the results are often disappointing: the plants die and do not grow well because of disturbed weeds.

2. Creating Garden Construction
In this process of planning and making the path taken, this element is important for the circulation path in the park so that all activities undertaken in the park do not interfere with future sustainability of the growth of plants and other elements. In accordance with the extent of the park, design and materials, the path can be made in a variety of options.

3. Defining Elements Hardware Park (Hardscape)
Which include the hardware elements of the park are various pots, rocks, lights and other accessories that will be used as a complement the park, both functional and aesthetic role.

4. Elements of Software Park (Softscape)
Various types of plants, the choice is planned in this process. It is considered a matter of plant species (shrubs, bushes, and protector). About colors (flowers and leaves) jugs into something that must be considered because it determines the splendor of the park is created and harmonization of existing colors. Character of each plant grows about speed, canopy shape, resilience in responding to the weather (both hot sun and rain or water), determine the choice of plant species that will be used.

5. Planting and Hardscape Lays
Crop planting starts from the protective plants (high) and so is the lower plants to plant ground cover. The spread of coral stone, gravel, stone step, and installation of garden lighting and other accessories made after planting.

6. Land Cleanup
Cleanup activities to the rest of the garden work. After the park clean of trash, there was a sufficient watering and then performed routine maintenance such as pruning and regular watering.

Bathroom Safe for Toddlers


The bathroom is one room in the house which has big potential harm the child. Some things must be removed so that children can safely use the bathroom. You certainly do not want your child suffered serious injuries due activity in the bathroom. This condition can happen if we do not take into account the design and arrangement of the bathroom. Slip, knock, or even electricity is stung by a series of accidents that might have happened there. Then, how is the bathroom child-friendly? There are a few things to note in a bathroom that can be called a bathroom child-friendly. These things include:
1. Floor
To avoid slipping, especially in wet areas, use the special tile for the bathroom. These ceramics are typical among other rougher surface than ordinary ceramic floor and not slippery when wet. In addition, select a size too big as 50 x 50 cm, to minimize the floor grout. In humid areas, the floor grout is the most strategic place for breeding bacteria and fungi.
To dry the bathroom floor is sometimes used marble or ceramic, rubber floors also add to the area that is often used as a foothold. Get used also to always dry the wet floor after use.

2. Door
Keeping the child does not go out into the bathroom without telling us, add a hook or a lock on the bathroom door. Place the key on the top of the door. Could also make a higher handle and did not reach toddler age children. Give safety a booster at the door to avoid the small risk of pinched fingers.

3. Toilet
We recommend that you select the toilet seat because, in addition to more safe for your child, also allows us to teach toilet training. Make sure the toilet is always in a state closed after use. Use a toilet lock so that they can’t open it themselves. Child's curiosity can make them slip, which in turn makes their heads and swallow water down the toilet. When using a squat toilet, make the cover sheet of a solid board as the cover of the toilet to avoid the small foot slipped into the toilet.

4. Bathtub
Choose a design bathtub slippery surface is not safe for children. If necessary add more non-slip carpet in the bathtub. Place the rubber a little too thick on each side and side-handle tub to reduce the risk of serious injury if the little slip immediately empty the bathtub over the use to avoid the child accidentally drowned while out of control.

5. Utilities
Keep all things electric from water sources, such as a sink or bathtub faucet. If necessary use a protected outlet ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), a special device that can detect if there are changes in electric current and stop it immediately. Place the protective cap on the open-socket, and immediately close when it is finished using the socket. For water heaters, sets the temperature not more than 49 degrees Celsius to avoid the risk of burning a child's skin when he opened unsupervised own hot water faucet. Or can also use tap water that has a safety lock system.

6. Tools and toiletries
Although seemingly simple but the equipment and toiletries can be a source of major problems that can befall a child. Put the soap, shampoo, aftershave, etc. in a safe place and away from their reach. So also with tissue, do not let the little easier to reach and the tissue eventually swallowed. Save a razor, razors, nail clippers and other sharp objects in a specific place and locked. Never let the hair dryer or shaver automatically abandoned in the state electricity if only briefly.

7. Furniture
Install the mirror with a solid frame make sure the glue or a strong connection to the wall. Do not use a mirror with corners that are not protected. For cabinet or closet, use of a safety and lock the doors and drawers. So, whether your bathroom has fulfilled the above criteria? If not, try to order back to the bathroom so that qualifies as child-friendly bathroom, and don’t forget always supervise children during the activities in the bathroom.

Building Flexible Minimal Earthquake Damage


Many construction experts and administration building saying, that the building that is flexible to minimize damage caused by earthquakes. Building material that is flexible to absorb the energy, both energy intake and pressure, and some building materials that have elastic properties are iron and wood. Iron is used as a column that serves as a frame to tie the construction of buildings and can absorb the energy that emerged, including an earthquake tremor, but many buildings that do not use iron.

Usually rely solely on building a wall of bricks and cement that is not equipped with iron columns, and brick walls are not flexible, but it is fragile and easily broken. Therefore, when facing the energy that comes from the earthquake, the building is not equipped with direct-iron columns were destroyed, while the building is equipped with only a broken iron column-damaged.

But the power of buildings equipped, with steel columns are also not guaranteed to minimize the impact of an earthquake tremor when the installation and construction are not in accordance with the principle of 'Detailing'. With the principle of "Detailing" is the process of installation of the connection between steel columns, because the construction workers are usually less concerned that the installation must be connected between the irons cross, due to more practical considerations.

Workers are often put on the building columns between iron connection is not much, but the strength and flexibility are produced is also influenced by the power of connection. In addition, a building within a certain distance must be reinforced with a steel frame column, ideally every 12 square meters distance, to bind and strengthen between the walls so as not easy to collapse.

Material that is used a mixture of cement, sand and gravel also be measuring the ratio of 1:2:3, and the water used should have a measure 0,4-0,45 percent, not too much. About fulfillment houses earthquake-resistant construction, the general building construction is now equipped with iron columns, especially for domestic buildings.

However, for the fulfillment of the principle of "Detailing" in construction is still in doubt, because the installation of steel columns is flexible so that the building did not materialize if the installation was not proper. Installation of the roof using a lightweight material, such as asbestos and zinc, can also minimize the earthquake, when compared to the use of critical, especially to deal with the earthquake which is vertical. In principle, the construction of earthquake resistant houses if exposed to vibration or energy that comes from it can be damaged, but not immediately harmful devastated inhabitants.

Concrete Dining Table Can So Alternative


Limited land a barrier when you want to put the dining table, one solution to solve the laying of the table is to create a table of concrete materials that blend with the kitchen wall.

Common problems that occur in a small house with limited land are limited placement of furniture, such as a table for dinner. Selection table becomes limited because only a few specific sizes and shapes that can be placed in the home. If you get bored with the shape of the table-that's all it can try to make the dining table made of plate made of reinforced concrete.


1. as Table Permanent
Table of the concrete material is made into the wall in the kitchen of one side directly adjacent to the kitchen, because this table is united and not moveable so this table is permanent. Strength of this table is the support found on the wall that separates the kitchen and dining room. Structure table rested on the wall only on one side, while the other side is not supported. Plate structures are commonly known as table with cantilever structure. Thus, it appears that this table as if flying for one side alone, which is based.

Although only supported on one side, this table can still support the weight on it because its main strength is on the table plates of bone that are attached to a wall support. Therefore, no need to worry about plate table will be weak, except at the surface of the table plate which were given excessive weight and treated normally. Table of this concrete plate surface can be covered by other materials, such as ceramic, marble, or granite. However, this election should be noticed that the weight of the material itself. Do not let the material so that the lid is too heavy load supported by a plate table becomes excessive and can result in the table collapsed. Thus, it is advisable to use the cover of the ceramic material.

When will use other materials that cover still permitted, but the dimensions of the structure must be considered again, marble example. With marble weights tend to be more severe than ceramic the consequence is the size of the table should also be thicker. Once the bone is also planted in the wall must also be safe if you get a load on it, besides the plat enlarged dimensions, dimensions must be enlarged the pedestal back. If not, the structure will experience the pedestal crack and this is very dangerous for those around them.


2. Making Structure
If interested in making this table, the table size can be adjusted with the living space and needs. The important thing is to consider the power structure. The most determining whether or not there is a measure of the deflection plate itself sectional plate (plate thickness). Determination of thick plate depends from the load factors that work on it and deflections that will occur.

To plate the table, recommended measures have stretched the sectional of point 60 cm length pedestal adjusted to the size of the remaining space. While safe plate thickness with a width of 60 cm span is about 10 cm, because it is a reinforced concrete structure, the dimension of Steel that is used must be considered also. With dimensions of 60 cm wide and spans the thickness of 10 cm, diameter of the steel used bone was 9 mm. This steel woven bone with the distance between the bones of about 10 cm and mounted on the printing plate before the table has been installed first. Attached to the bone into the wall as the pedestal, the trick is to curve bone plate is 90 degrees and attached to the supporting wall, After that level the concrete surface of the plate when casted.

To print, use wooden planks and hanging on the wood supported using size 4 / 6, this buffer timber used as a temporary power when the concrete has not dried up. After about 28 days, the mold can be removed, and then given a surface layer of ceramic or other materials. At the time of making license plate, make sure the surface of the table plate exactly flat and no slope. Therefore, when installing a concrete mold plates in order to use waterpass flat surface, if the surface is flat so when used to eat the food on the table will feel comfortable.

Plus and minus concrete table
Plus:
- Having more power than the wooden table.
- The surface can be given a variety of materials, ranging from ceramics to granite.
- With a variety of materials as a coating, a strong surface to heat and cold, and easy to clean when there is a stain.

Minus:
- This table can’t be moved.
- The size for sectional very limited. If made more widely so that large expenses required for the concrete-forming material is also expensive, such as cement, sand, and steel bones.

Traditional Houses Suitable for Earthquake Prone Area



Construction of traditional houses from the main material of wood, have made an example of a safe house for the population in occupied areas prone to earthquake. Traditional house construction well in earthquake-prone areas, because the lightweight construction of the building, so if there is an earthquake can be minimize collapse. Dozens of years ago an earthquake occurred, but the traditional buildings that still stand firm until now, so people need to be imitated. The many buildings collapsed during the quake were caused by heavy construction and the foundation is weak, so the buildings collapsed.

Moreover, the construction of shop houses, rarely use the services of the architecture before building in order to know the exact composition of the construction, so many dangerous now because of commercial prone collapsed when the earthquake happened. Building needs to be set for the development process in accordance with the regulations which are expected to make the building standards for certain building types, so that when the different functions of the different standards.

So far, there are rules that limited building permits, but these rules do not focus on the standards and provisions of the construction composition, but only limited regulations on fees alone, for story building, very vulnerable when hit by an earthquake collapsed, so the rise buildings should be inspected and monitored closely, these efforts not to bring danger. House-shop that deserves a place designated as a trade or garage is widely used as hospitals, educational facilities, so that when an earthquake happens, the potential casualties claimed.

Necessary permission and supervision for the construction of storey house or building, the building should have different functions have different rules, too, so that construction can be adapted to the construction of their respective functions. While home-shop in the city, mostly built without consideration of good construction, thus potentially result in loss of life. Law on construction services must be actually implemented by all parties who will do the constructions efforts were made to no impact on the loss of life due to negligence in the construction.

Shown with Natural Plant Roof



Carport can be designed together with the park. Vines provide beautiful atmosphere in the facade of the house. Carport design should not be narrowed from the concept of home architecture. One option that can be done is to make the design as if a part of the surrounding park. An example of this is the carport, which uses the framework of the roof of the white-painted iron. Designed without a lining, the roof was impressive natural; fit with the overall impression of the home country. Shade during the day, a little wet in the rain. Selected frame with curved design. Curve peaks reached 2.7 m from the floor. As the shade is a Passiflora vine red type.

Natural roof structure is supported by three pillars supporting the right side. Each pole was given additional iron rod as propagation toward the roof. On the left side riding on the roof of the porch columns and a single pole, this pole was right behind the fence columns. Carport side of the tub is surrounded by a planted of flower. Coated planter natural stone to blend with the floor looks carport.

Floor carport designed simple enough, a stone is not polished. The result is rough on the feet. The center of the carport, which is not a tire track, made deeper and filled with coral. Floors are made crooked about 5cm from the driveway in front of him. Size limited trick by carport with appropriate selection of the fence. White fence, minimal details of the selected iron boxes of dimension 1.5 cmx1, 5cm. Part of the gate only 100cm tall with each 140cm wide door. It was planted gate 115cm tall concrete columns on both sides. Looks unsightly, is not it?

The Cool of Carport



Gate greeter white Vent along the wall with open spaces and cool air throughout the day, Air moves from high temperature to lower temperature, This simple principle can be applied to design inspiration at home so it would help if the carport as an area with fairly hot air system implement these design principle, Air holes present on the left side of the carport. To create the wind, the hole must be balanced with the other holes are parallel or opposite. So what happens in this modern carport, in order to rapidly falling temperatures, the right side carport is limited only by the columns supporting the roof. Heat out of polycarbonate can be deployed at least one. This is because the surface of the roof high enough and a little opening between the block and polycarbonates.


Treatment design distinctive functions of each area are interesting, for doors fitted to different materials and cover a lower roof. Roof both limited by a high white gate and a buffer block. To create the effect of the field dimensions, prepared a number of artificial lighting. Several spotlights placed at specific points on the bottom to the top emitted. At the front of the carport outside the gates placed the spotlight toward the floor surface. This order reflected light.

Over the Fence so Beautiful by Rooster


Technique only stacked pair. Cement as an adhesive. Iron plate into inter-rooster booster. Holes which highlighted the sun provide a beautiful shadow effects. Once rooster become an important element in the residential building concepts tropical adopted, it serves as a vent that can be breached air, sunlight, too. Therefore common rooster on top of windows, doors, roofs and even walls, hot tube room was so cool.

Now the growing role of rooster Concrete network printing can be perforated wall replacement fence. Located at the edge of common land boundaries of the house, because the hole, when sun the highlight them will create a beautiful shadow effects. Applications beautiful rooster was on the front wall of your house. The size of the front wall of 6.5 m and 1.5 m wide, while the side wall of 2.2 m, adjacent to the side door to the room service.

Rooster measures 20cmx20cm with 10cm thick it weighs 4.5 kg. Although quite heavy, it can be installed intermittently stacked alternately. Adhesive inter-rooster just using regular cement, Construction without using a pole or beam of admit, He just relies on the binding sloof foundation in the ground. Sloof is responsible for receiving and distributing the load to the foundation rooster.

An architect who designed the wall will be principled that Rooster Rooster only as wall filler material that did not receive a heavy burden. Thus, the construction does not need to elaborate. In addition to cement paste the amplifier just added a metal plate. Metal plate screwed on the top of the rooster, 4mm thick plate and 3cm wide. Function plate making rooster grew stiff. If the wind or pushed people touched body, this rooster wall will not collapse.

Artistic Skylight: Ceiling Beautiful Atmosphere



View the sky, trees, even the atmosphere in the water, present on your ceiling. Cool! The processed materials now is not only a beautiful form, Material innovations have included the effect of the game that affects the atmosphere of the room. The game of light and color bias of the processed digital printing can provide the sensation of drawing and color evenly. That artistic skylights technology based on test results continue to produce bright colors and equally in the box panels artistic ceiling.

Some of these designs are the color evenly on the image. This comes from a special box design that can produce light from just one light. The number of lamps can be selected based on the needs of light intensity. There are several choices of lights, with a maximum per box of aluminum can reach three lamps. Aluminum was chosen as the basic material box size 60 x 60 cm's. Weight a panel of about 0.4 kg box, and has a strong position when suspended. Holder is connected with an aluminum rod to the roof of the horses or to not concrete.

Another key term is unique ceiling designs are created as forms blend with the surrounding gypsum ceiling. Installation can be arranged in two ways: create a drop ceiling, or parallel to the ceiling. In this way, allows a designer to give the effect of artificial skylights in the room. The position able to taste: in the middle, in addition, even in the corner was no problem. You interested?

As the Glass Barrier Fences


Without prejudice fragile nature, glass can be used as a guardrail. Of course, to make it safe, glass needs to be treated special choice type of glass becomes very vital. Only glass that has a minimum thickness of 10mm that can be used, that was better than Tempered glass types. To be more safe again choose a glass that has been laminated, thus better strength. In order to function as a barrier to the maximum, the glass should not stand alone. Glass should be framed or resting on steel or concrete framework. Also noteworthy is the long length. The longer the stretch the more risky conditions of glass, so the average for use as a guardrail the maximum expanse of glass should be no more than 3m.


Mounted on steel or concrete framework, the glass should be tied to any meeting. For that glass can be installed on existing in order. After the glass was placed there, the gap between the glass with the frame should be sealent. this keeps the glass did not move, so to minimize the risk of rupture. Besides direct manner in order to install it, the glass can also be fitted with a hook. This way more practical, but has a higher risk level. Only a small portion of glass attached to the framework. And this can make the glass easy to break.

5 Simple and Gorgeous the Carport


Carport main function is as a car shelter. But can also serve to increase the value of the home display. Carport located on the outside of the house. Therefore carport directly visible from the charming street, Design make carport can be involved as an element in the facade beautify home. To create a carport, do not have to choose design trouble. Simple enough provided in accordance with the display home. Most importantly, this function should be maximum carport. Here are 5 examples of carport designs that you can apply at home.
1. Flying with cantilever - Carport measuring 5.8 mx7, 2m. Size roof 3mx5, 7m. Cantilever system makes impressive floating roof carport. Buffer roof just a four-bar steel. Each upright support and is 1.8 m. The roof is made of steel frames. Forms the roof using a grid pattern, a wooden lattice. Later the wooden latticework would be filled with a Mandevilla vine species (a type Alamanda).

2. As a shade roof and balconies - Construction of a cantilever used. The main structure of the chassis of the eight blocks of concrete. The length of each block is 3m, and set 35cm apart. In the line of concrete blocks, wood resting area 15.8 square meters. The top of the carport was right in front of a child's bedroom door. From there, the roof of the carport accessed as a balcony. So in addition to the shade car, also serves as a balcony.

3. Simple roof drawn wire - the main support structure is only a piece of angle iron on the right side of the roof. As the amplifier used two steel wires crossed installed. Both ends of the wire anchored in the main building, and two other points on the front of the roof truss, Framework of the roof just a hollow square-sized iron roof 4cmx5cm.Struktur this simple impression of the building.

4. Black iron flat roof - the roof structure does not have a buffer, so impressive flying. Instead of a buffer, used two 12mm steel wire size. Wires tethered to the main building. Polycarbonate material is selected to close the hollow metal framework. To be unique, the framework was developed with grid pattern.

5. Simple structure attached - In addition to shelter vehicles, carport also serves as the entrance. Simple design seen from the structure, the front is supported by two concrete blocks. Attached to the rear of the main building as the roof, installed a wooden lattice transversely. To be more beautiful there Alamanda flower, which left spread to the roof.

Component 3 Formation Roof



Roof-forming components have their respective roles to keep the roof remain firm and works best. The roof is an important factor in a house, after the foundation. He became an umbrella around the house, when the weather rain or sun is stinging. Every part of the roof has an important role. If one of these components is interrupted then the roof could function problematic. For example can leak when it rains, or the worst: collapse. There are three main components in the roof, ie:

1. Roof Structure - Part one of vital functions, the function is to resist the roof structure or the load from the roof drains, leading to the foundation, which is then transmitted to the ground. On the roof structure divided into two parts, namely the roof frame and roof truss support, each share responsibility to keep the load evenly.

2. The roof cover - This component is the most visually interesting and texture. There are many types of roof cover, ranging from roof tiles made from clay that, then there is a roof cement (asbestos) fiber roof, polycarbonate, metal roof, to bitumen (asphalt roof). Each has advantages. From the technology side, roof tiles and asbestos far behind compared to polycarbonate, metal roof, or bitumen.

3. Complement roof - Hearing the word complement, which you might imagine complementary materials. Exactly In addition to the above-mentioned structure, there are also materials such as gutters or any list plang absolutely no. She works double, the structural and aesthetic. Suppose the gutter, he was to directing the water to fall into a particular land area.

Caution Make "Skylight"


Glass ceiling light makes a lot into the space below. Strong pillar of skylights are not needed to collapse. In the world of architecture, the concept is called glass ceiling skylights. Function as a ventilation of light at the top of the building. In addition, skylights can also add a vista into the room.

We have lots of skylights began to be applied. In-house modern-style house, usually made of glass skylights are translucent. This is partly so that more light into the room, while providing additional views in the room. Although the light may enter in large quantities and give vista of space, installing skylights should not be long. The reason, glass light went on in large numbers, so that the wrong pairing potentially increasing the temperature of the room during the day.

The main thing to note is the construction problem, especially if we use as a mateial glass roof. Framework must be robust and should be made of metal boxes with construction. Once the frame is so, the choice of glass types is also noteworthy. Plain Glass insert large amounts of light to reduce the negative effects, the glass can be coated with frosted glass or glass film.

Can’t Make Gratuitous Balcony


Potential significant environmental record, when he will make a balcony. Avoid making the balcony that is not in accordance with the building design and environmental conditions around, among the potential of existing environment, availability of land to be the most important. Why? Can imagine if you make in area a narrow balcony, it would damage the harmonization occupancy. Role of the balcony is no longer optimal and impressed imposed. The proportion between the balcony and the land must be balanced. For a fairly large area, the usual problems arise is aligning scale buildings. If the future role of the balcony is not optimal, then do not build it on a large scale.

Then, as the availability of land is the shape and size of the road, the role not only for road vehicles, but also to build our foothold balcony. The narrow road made the building look crowded. For that, the dimensions do not be too large balcony. Another case, if the road in front of the house is spacious. So-so build a large balcony.

In addition, you should also consider the rotation of the sun. What is meant is the direction of motion of the sun from east to west. Rotation will form the balcony design treatment. Location of the balcony overlooking the east or west to the roof wide enough, the roof or the counteracting function roof wide excess light into the balcony area.

Impact of noise pollution from vehicles is also noteworthy in building balcony. Vehicle exhaust sound will certainly disrupt comfortable when you are in the balcony. Make the trick with a little balcony laying into shelters. Not bulging out, like most balconies. Alternatively, use a buffer (silencer). Buffer should be impermeable, quite thick and solid, so that filtered noise, for example railing or concrete wall. Plant leafy vines can also be a buffer.

Eight Functions of Balcony

Balcony as the expansion of space, it could be physical activities or simply relax off fatigue. How do I make this? First, if size is not large balcony, you should use a sliding door access to the balcony of the room. This type of door openings can be optimized without taking up space, Planting rail door in the floor so neat and safe step on. Second, use a round on the balcony railing should not embedded in the floor. It can be mounted on an iron plate as a frame. Steel frame is used to facilitate the installation or if the renovations done.

Third, many modern buildings using flat fabric canopies not concrete, Constraints of this form is blocked waterways even stagnant, The solution by adding water rope which is right on the edge roof another option to adjust the slope of the roof so that waste water flows and does not settle.

A balcony has a length, width, and height. Standard size is calculated based on minimum standards movement of people. Because of its location on the top floor, a balcony must meet the standards of the extra power. These standards include the power to avoid an accident balcony user. As a room, balcony function continues to grow. Is it functions, please follow the following descriptions:

1. Balcony as an extension of the living: because it was attached directly next to the upstairs room, could be the solution expansion. For example to expand the bedrooms upstairs balcony placed on the side rooms directly related to outer space. Can on the front, side, or rear depending on the location of the bedroom.

2. Balcony expands view: located on the upper floor, the balcony has a view window wider than the floor below. This makes the balcony, the perfect location to enjoy the environment around the house as confirmation.

3. Balcony level floor: balcony can confirm the difference ground floor and above. The balcony also emphasized the differences of scale and the direction toward the building.

4. Balcony as beautify elements: the balcony of the wall can create a "dead". With a balcony view of the facade could be more dynamic.

5. Balcony high added value design: the balcony is useful to raise the value of an element of building design and space organization. This makes the design of the house more valuable.

6. Balcony being an expression of taste: the balcony provides design statements and expressions of homeowners taste.

7. Reduce the impact of climate balcony: balcony that jutted out of the wall leaving a space underneath. Function balcony became the condescendent for space beneath the heat of the sun.

8. Balcony as a marker: shapes and colors that stand out balcony can be used as markers or distinguishing a house from another house.

Frame Structure Significance Balcony


Order to make the pole structure is connected and attached to the block. Use as a drag load floor. Furniture or the burden of activities included in the load floor. Distributed the load from the beam toward the pole, and then distributed to the foundation. Present framework of the power structure of the monolithic system. This system is also impressive stiff on the balcony. Strength to withstand compressive force load present structure itself. Stiffness functions for the weight-bearing activity, including the movement of wind.

Reinforced concrete with a local foundation (base) a filler material structure, Filler system with cast concrete in place. Another option is the steel material. The use of steel, welded on each section, nailed and bolted. Wood filler can also be the foundation of the framework, provided a sufficient dimension, also details the proper connections.

How to create a strong structure and the balcony is safe? The most effective step is to create a balcony to have the main buffer. For example two columns supporting the front end of the balcony. The move applied to more conventional framed balcony. Balcony with the concept of "floating" construction and calculation power required a different structure, Balcony with concept drift, the average require the construction of the system construction cantilever balconies aka tethered only one side of the balcony on the wall, Submitted the following description of the two types of this structure.

1. Conventional framework - the framework concept of this model has excellent structural strength, the columns that rose up into a strong buffer. The concept of this framework can distribute the load on the balcony floor well. Applications like this are precisely applied to large-sized balcony.

2. Cantilever structure - This structure is suitable balcony was applied to the short span. For example 1-1.5 outward building. Using this construction, the construction budget could be saved. But the consequence, the structure must the cantilever really strong. It also includes a buffer balcony wall structure. This is because the balcony was only on one side only, such as the side against the wall. Therefore, if you want to choose the construction of cantilever balconies, the smarter will calculate the load carried by the cantilever construction. If one calculates, maybe your balcony collapsed.

Curves Balcony Cantilever System

Balcony arch at the front of this house became the main point of the building. Its existence is very prominent. Accent semi-circle, the line-profile, white, as well as make the balcony of the facade elements of the house, Semicircular balcony using cantilever structures. These systems eliminate the column as bottom supporters. Compensation the columns and the main structure of this larger balcony, Such as on the main column. This column made 60cm thick, thicker than the average main columns of the building.

As the leading elements of the building, the balcony was not left plain. There is shaped profile and decker circular line at the bottom of the balcony. This profile section painted white, the color of the color of doors and windows. This was done to obtain color consistency on the facade. Of course because the circular shape, the balcony railing was made circular, this railing material from wrought iron. Strong because of railing construction is added to the column wall and the bottom of the balcony.

Form a decorative line very gentle with bandages of white paint Railing also similar shape, because it follows the balcony. Wrought iron railing selected for the post. Iron bent in a semicircle. Pole tied with handrail. Handrail bolted to the wall. Screw installation process also aims to tie the load channel railing to the wall. Floor balcony area to look for the arch shape, this is because there is no limit areas or pillars, as in the balcony box with structure pole.

Various Types of Roof Balcony


You certainly want a strong roof and works well. For that, the choice of material and the balcony can’t be arbitrary. Also noteworthy is also the construction, the construction of a strong and increasing confidence about the appropriate safety factor for the occupants in it. Another problem the roof covers material. This one is great diversity. There are modern and there are conventional. Several types of roof materials include:
1. Dak Concrete - Made from a combination of cast iron and concrete. Widely used in modern homes or who are often known as a minimalist home. Not concrete enough to withstand the weather changes. The construction was very strong.

2. Clay Tile - This material widely used in general homes. Tile made of pressed clay and burned sufficient strength. Clay roof tiles needed for the installation order. Tiles installed on a sloping roof Applying tile installation system of inter-locking or interlocking and binding.

3. Metal tiles - shaped piece, similar to zinc. This tile curtain planted on the roof truss beam, using a screw. Other forms of tile sheet, Installation is not much different with clay tiles. The available sizes vary, 60-120cm (width), with a thickness of 0.3mm and length between 1.2-12m.

4. Asphalt Tile - Raw material this one from a mixture of asphalt and other chemicals. There are two models available in the market. First, the model relies on multiplex flat attached to the frame. Multipelks and context associated with the help of screws. Asphalt tile glued to the board. For the second type, model, wavy, he just bolted to the block gording.

5. Ceramics Tile - The basic material of ceramic tiles remains, but have experienced the process of finishing enamel. Available in various colors and sizes. Applications suitable for a modern residential roof balcony, this tile rests on timber and concrete framework.

6. Glass Tile - Installation of these materials only in certain parts of the roof. If you want natural light, use glass tiles in that section. Generally rarely mounted on the front of the house because they do not match, Glass tile same size as the tile in general.

7. Tarpaulins Fabrics - application not only on the roof of the balcony, but suitable also for the canopy window. Materials made of plastic canvas and solid, also elastic. Cloth attached and resting on an iron framework, Hook using strong screws attached to the wall, in this way similar installation screen, a canvas roof-mounted removable.

Natural Stone Mosaic for Wall and Floor



In general there are two types of stone used to create the mosaic floor, the stone or gravel and pebble marble stone or coral. Little round pebble shape and is usually chosen so that no sharp, while usually shaped flat marble and irregular shape. Usually mosaic floor tiles sold in the smallest size 10 cm x 10 cm, to the largest 40 cm x 40 cm. For those who want a special size can be ordered according to the desired size. Each tile consists of a collection of stone with similar colors there is also a collection of rock containing a variety of colors.

Problem was the design of each tile can actually tailor-made suit, each manufacturer usually to serve a reservation to taste like this. And after this natural stone mosaic so, he could put into place as usual ceramic floors. In addition to the floor, stone mosaic can be used to meet various needs. Many who use it for the bathroom floor and steping stone in the garden, Not only for that, natural stone mosaic can also be used for layering the wall so it looks more natural.

Natural stone for walls and floors
Today natural stone not only to serve as a wall or floor material, various homes and other buildings to use as a decorative element, Usually applied to exterior walls and floor of the house, some types of stone, more applied to the park. Generally, natural stones grouped into two types, namely hard rock and soft rock. Grouping is based on the strength and porosity level, Hard rock older so much harder than soft rock.

Andesite stone, marble and granite, is that including the kinds of hard stone, while the software includes among other rocks, sandstone and stone temples. The types of this stone, also has certain types, according to the forms and motives. Andesite stone line which is striped andesite stones. In addition to these stones, coral and stone are also much in demand.

Installation of natural stone for walls and floors can’t be equated. As a material for the floor, of course must be chosen surface smooth stone. At least, textures are not sharp. This of course meant, so as not to injure the feet when trodden on Choice of a suitable type of rock, among others, paras, marble, andesite, and coral. For use on walls, variety and type of stone can be more. Type of stone used for floors, can also be used for the walls. The stones with a rough texture can be used. Coarse texture can be applied to the wall, because the walls are not to step on, thus less likely to be hurt.

The fence is the outer portion of the house. Position around the home greatly affects the look of the facade. Trying something new will make the fence and facade view is no longer monotonous. The fence consists of six walls, which has a different height, the six walls using natural stone coating materials with different sizes. Closing the side wall of natural stone abstract measuring 5 cm x 10 cm, the top uses a square-shaped stone measuring 10 cm x 10 cm. Despite the height and width sizes vary, but the same thickness, which is 20 cm. Each section separated by a fence wall opening is 20 cm. This gap is made with the intention of giving the impression transparent, In addition to minimize manufacturing costs.


Installation of a layer made of natural stone such as broken stone structure. Installation pattern slightly irregular reinforce the impression that comes naturally. The beauty of natural stone fence more complete with several shrubs, this fence is easy to embellish for easy viewing of natural stone combined with various types of plants. Park lighting at night, in every nook fence installed floodlights. Lights deliberately placed slightly to the inside of the house so that the display light toward the front of the house.

Jacuzzi Install Preparation Step


Installing Jacuzzi can be done alone, although the average producer has given "free installation" by their technicians. However, before the technicians arrived, there are basic things that need to be prepared in order to speed up the installation. Whatever it?

1. Prepare the floor.
Jacuzzi generally installed on a flat floor or flat water. This flat floor is required for the system to function properly Jacuzzi. These include water jet circulation system and drainage system. Therefore, if not flat floor condition then make into flat.

2. Stabilize the floor construction.
Jacuzzi tub belonging to the weight though not filled with water, when filled with water. Jacuzzi total weight greater if used for bathing, besides weight depending on the size Jacuzzi tub and type of material, At least, when used, Jacuzzi 1.000kg/meter weigh up square. Because of its weight, then consider re-construction of the building if they want to put the Jacuzzi on the top floor of the house.

3. A solid framework.
In addition to the basic need of a flat, strong, and stable, Jacuzzi framework also requires a solid wall. Jacuzzi around the frame must be given due weight retaining water pressure. Especially if the material his own Jacuzzi was too strong.

4. Prepare electrical lines, water, and drainage.
Like ordinary bathtub, Jacuzzi requires the installation of clean water, water disposal, and electrical installations. Plan the installation before the installation of all three. Ask the seller about the Jacuzzi system specifications, as a reference to make electricity and water installations, including the placement of the jet pump.
5. Clean the area and do a test.
After installation, seal tightly so that the Jacuzzi did not move at all. Previously, do a test on the system Jacuzzi.

How to Prevent Leaking Roof


There are several things that must be considered in making the roof to avoid leaks during the rainy season. Here are tips-tricks:
1. Note the angle of the roof. This is important because with the proper slope will allow water to flow downward. Generally the slope of the roof 30 ° - 40 °, But for some cases, there is a roof with a slope of ramps.

2. Minimize the connection. Roof with minimal connection can be to reduce leakage. If there are meeting points between the roof materials, then make sure that the meeting point of the meeting and not having a gap. Cleft may cause leaks in the roof.

3. Choose a quality roof material. There are many roof-forming materials. PVC, clay, bitumen and metal is in between. Of all of the roof material which is not easy to select cracks resistance to heat or wind. One again, a good roof is easy to install, and did not leave a gap.

4. Minimize the use of gutters, Gutters also is an element of potential roof leaks. Either because the system is not good switching or because of material damage with age. The more minimal amount of gutter, the minimum is also the potential for leaks.

5. Use a leak-paint coating (water proofing). Can be applied to prevent water seeping through the pores of the roof material or small cracks found on the connection point.

Anti Leaks Asphalt shingle

Tiles are generally made from clay. These basic materials easily available, so many people selling and using clay roof tiles. Now, in addition to clay roof tiles, building materials pretty much any other tile, one of asphalt (bitumen). Of asphalt shingle is certainly not entirely of asphalt material. Tile is a mixture of powdered paper, organic fibers, resins, and asphalt. This material is processed to produce a lightweight tile, flexible, and waterproof.


Asphalt in this case serves as a water proofing. The roof will be leak resistant. In addition to anti-leak, asphalt shingle is also lighter than clay tile, concrete, or ceramic. Weight per share of about 4kg per m², Compare with tile roofs, the weight units can be between 4-8 pounds. Of course, this became one of the value the benefits of asphalt tile. With a light weight, the roof construction can be minimized, so the budget can be saved too. Well, if you're building a house or to replace the roof, this product is feasible to glance.

Asphalt shingle is not new to the roof of the house. Character, shaped sheets, lightweight, and content of the main ingredients made from asphalt. This becomes an alternative tile roofs, in addition to clay roof tiles, concrete, and metal. There are two types of asphalt tile profile in the market. First, corrugated profile made of organic fibers, resins, and mineral additives this tile rests directly on gording, without batten and use a screw or nail fastener.


Second flat-profile asphalt shingle, Content of the material consists of fiberglass fibers and sand-like grains of rocks that have been glazed. Relies pedestal tile multiplex board, Restraints using screws, although different content of the material asphalt shingle can respond to heat and noise from the rain. How to improve the asphalt tiles in case of damage? If the tile is very inconvenient usual asphalt shingle quite easy, ease of use of materials and equipment, which can also do the installation yourself. Simply affixed, pressured and nailed. The steps as follows:

1. Recognize the damaged asphalt tile. Tick using markers. Then, cut the damaged tiles slabs had. Use the cutter to the cutting of neat and not damage other tiles.

2. Tipping spikes attached to the tile by using a small crowbar. Remove the tile sheets with both hands. Do it slowly, so that the other tiles are not interested at the same time.

3. Cut a new shingle to the size of damaged tiles. It would be better used as a damaged tile mal (mold), so the results as required pieces. So the results carefully, do the cutting with the help of a ruler elbow.

4. Install the new tile on the former while the damaged tiles. Glue slowly, then the nail on the starting position. Make sure the nail stuck to the surface of the board. Tap the existing tile glue, to stick really close.

Repeat layering with Dak Concrete Waterproofing


Concrete can be damaged not due to changes in the weather. The damage can affect the construction, surface damage, peeling paint, or overgrown with fungi. Quickly fix before the negative effects become bigger. Not concrete problematic because four things. First generally starting from the cracks, Second, because the high absorption of the concrete so that less water-resistant. Third, stir-cast concrete that is not perfect, so on the inside casting there is still space or cavity-castings are not solid, fourth heavy castings which is not adequate for the home-stay 15-20 cm thickness of castings.

Not arise if the leak, repair is not difficult. Simply layer the material Waterproofing around the leaking area was. If the source of the leak was detected, the safest, not the entire layer with the re-Waterproofing. After that, do the finishing end with no surface repainted. Materials and Equipment: Waterproofing, Woven fiberglass mesh, Cement and dry sand, Cat scratch or wall-sealer and paint finishing, Brushes number 4 and the small roller and paint tub, Spatula scrape, Container for mixture and Gloves.
A. Work steps for Repair Concrete Dak Upper part are:
1. Clean the surface of the concrete not the dust and dirt with a brush and spatula scrape.

2. Apply Waterproofing, starting at the point of not meeting the surface of concrete with a wall. At Waterproofing in wet conditions, fiberglass tape with push-if necessary, press with a paint roller which has been immersed in Waterproofing. Use of fiberglass on the walls and the surface (floor) no concrete level and 15-20 cm wide.

3. Along with closing the gap on the corners of the meeting and not concrete walls, Waterproofing applied to the entire surface of the concrete not. After drying, the coating is repeated again with the cross.

4. Waterproofing layer so that it is not broke because trampled or hit something hard, you should not concrete coated with cement plaster mixed with liquid Waterproofing 3-5 cm thick.

B. Lower Repair Concrete Dak:
1. Clean the surface (ceiling) no concrete from dirt by using a putty knife scrape and brush. If necessary with liquid fungicidal wash to eliminate fungus.
2. Alkali Layer sealer to block out the spots that do not paint the stripes. Wait a couple of hours for alkaline sealer to dry completely.
3. After that, the paint evenly. Should be done twice a painting. The first paint mixed with water as much as 10 percent, and the second with 20 percent water. Concrete ceiling was not clean again.

Creating a Beautiful Trellis construction and Sturdy


Material manufacturers, construction and size should be noted that the bars are installed to meet its main function, namely security and beauty. Using the trellis does not mean one hundred percent safe from thieves, especially when the installation and construction of the bars is not quite accurate and robust, Grille or better known as the bars are not new to the houses in any country. When viewed from the function, the trellis must be strong because it serves as a safety attached to the window frame. But in addition to solid, trellis design plan must also think about the value of beauty. Because without the aspect of beauty, may be hard memorable bars, rough, and not in harmony with the house style.

1. Trellis design
So, how to design a house bars in order to meet the security function and beauty? Not difficult really, just watching the design, construction, and size of elements. Who does not miss is the measurement of the bars in order to function properly. Before the measure, it never hurts to plan the design before construction will be used. This course adapted to the existing window design, it's okay to iron-iron grille designs tailored to the shutters, to avoid overlapping motives. These overlapping motifs will give the impression it was not crowded and beauty show.

Trellis design on glass shutter boxes are not as free as the leaves plain clear glass window without frames, The framework of the actual functioning shutters shutter in order to help the stronger, so do not worry if as if the framework is annoying shutter grille design.

Trellis design can be matched with shutters, if taken into consideration when designing fixed frames contained on the shutters. Thus, frames of the shutters can add value to the overall beauty. Following the trend was not hurt, but it must still consider its main function, namely security. For example, the bars are made sturdy enough in terms of construction, but the design of the motive causes cavities large enough to allow a thief broke in. This of course does not answer the main function of the presence of bars.

2. Measurement and Construction
The size of the bars should be fitted with the size of the window frame to be protected. Measurement error could be fatal, because the bars can’t be placed on the frame. And finally can’t be used. If there is doubt in the measurement, should ask the experts services or directly carried out by a maker bars. This is to anticipate at the time of measurement error. Trellis consists of several elements forming, the frame or frames, and the contents of the bars panel, which consists of bars that are designed with a specific motive to consider the security aspects and beauty.

The trellis frame functions as the main construction elements, because the reinforcing bars of the structure located on this one element. In addition, the frame also connects between the contents of the panel with window frame grille. Proper trellis construction can answer the main functions of the bars on the security of the residence. If incorrect trellis construction, the bars are also not strong enough so that the main function not be answered. Other efforts to meet the main requirements of the bars are the use of appropriate materials.

3. Frame of Iron square
Trellis made of iron with welding connection, either on the frame or on the content of trellis panel, Materials for the frame is not just any metal, but it would be better if the metal used is iron elbows. That is the contents of the grille panel are connected to one of its wings, while the other wing functions to connect the bars to the frame. Thus, the relationship between the grille and frame are on the inside of the room, not part of the frame. Iron bracket that is used can use the size 25 x 25 x 3. That is, the width of each wing 25 mm and thickness 3 mm.

Relationship between the two is using nails or bolts with bolts of sufficient length. Theft incident that is often experienced by people is due to the bars instead of nails or bolts with a fairly long, thus easily removable grille plus frame from outside the house. There is another custom which is often done, that does not use an iron frame square but plates of iron. The function of this plate except as liaison between the bars with the sill, as well as a frame of content trellis panels, in this type, the frame is not nailed or bolted on the inside of the room but quite nailed or bolted on the inside of the frame.

Another alternative is the use of iron that has a low thickness, so that the iron easily bent or even cut. Iron is more solid round with sectional compared with iron plate, especially if you consider the size of the iron used. Of course this is still noticed the beauty and harmony with the home stay; not be indiscriminate use of steel with a very large thickness, with a strong reason to. Keep in mind, the above precautions taken to protect the house from thieves using human labor and didn’t using aid drills or electric saw to open the bars.

More fatal is when using a metal plate that is not thick enough-about 1.5 mm, resulting in plate the frame. In addition untidy impression, these bars are also not strong enough. The contents of trellis panels can be made of wrought iron of the current trend, or can be used with a metal such as wrought-iron finish. Everything is fine. But when look back on its main function, the use of iron for lattice trellis panels should also be strong enough with fairly precise dimensions. Apparently, the bars are not as easy to plan envisaged. We can’t just believe in the merits of making the bars. Material manufacturers, construction, and measures need to be considered and taken into account, in order to answer the main functions of the security bars that are also beautiful.
