They are available both in pure form, that is made of one material, and in all sorts of bizarre combinations, such as metal and plastic. Wood – material for us familiar and well-proven. Wood excellent protection against cold and unnecessary noise. This is a fairly durable material. Environmentally friendly wood is well known to all. True, few people think that this environmentally friendly, you can easily wipe out low-quality paints, varnishes and impregnation.

Wood requires a real hard pre-processing and rejection, so there are wooden windows is not cheap, about twice as expensive than the same window, but with a frame made of pvc. More expensive luxury box made of fine laminated timber – oak, European beech, mahogany. The appearance of plastic windows pushed from the market, wooden frame. pvc (polyvinyl chloride) – a practical, robust, durable and inexpensive material. Heat and soundproof properties, it is not inferior wood. Moreover, now pvc is environmentally safe, even at the stage of production and utilization. The fact that recently appeared recipe 'green line', introduced on all German industries kbe (a leader in the Russian market of plastic profiles for windows and doors). The technique involves the use of only 'lead free' stabilizers that are based on environmentally friendly compounds of calcium – zinc (CZn). In Germany, window of a safe plastic meet the new requirements of the Commission on the Environment of the European Union, under which up to 2006 pvc profile should significantly reduce the use of lead compounds. Aluminum frames, characterized the increased strength, the most useful for large window openings, for example, stained glass and glass balconies.

Accessories – this is the final touch. As already stated, accessories or bathroom accessories, create a special interior, especially the atmosphere, so should be chosen and purchased in accordance with the overall style of the bath. A large number of styles. For example: classical style. Many companies now make furniture and bathroom accessories, a stylized old, just repeating and reproducing the form, style, color, furniture and accessories, such as 18 – 19 century. Creates exquisite combination of classic design and new materials. Furniture for the bath is made of sturdy walnut array, or special materials, which possess high moisture resistance and resistance to deformation. Use of modern coatings, processed with a special compound that eliminates the appearance of traces of action acids and water.

In this case, every detail is paid close attention, that is, even a simple screw has the right proportions. Fashion trend – big, spacious bath. In modern flats and houses a bathroom area is not inferior to the bedroom and should be adorned with no less care. Particular attention should be paid to the basic accessories for the bath: mirrors, curtains for bath, cup holders, soap dishes. A creative approach to the choice of bathroom accessories and beautiful, delicate hooks, shelves, paper holder, the original soap dishes, mats, coasters, toilet brushes – not only beautify, but also will create comfort in your bathroom.

Accessories for bathrooms can be made of different materials or a combination of several: metal, glass, plastics, ceramics, wood. Leading place is occupied by metal chrome plated products. They can be easily combined and fit to any interior, and practical to use and durable, not afraid of humidity and moisture and are easy to clean. A large variety of shapes and colors to complement any interior noise and create a new design, unique style, and add convenience of your bathroom. The multiple shelves, ledges and blinds for bathrooms, laundry baskets, bins, hooks for clothes and towels will effectively utilize the space. Rack for magazines adds a touch of elegance. They – for people who love to read, taking a bath. And for those who, even in the bath can not part with television, developed and manufactured special lcd TVs. These TVs are fully airtight construction, designed for rooms with high humidity, can be installed in close proximity to water. Once a season, and perhaps more, you can change the look of a bathroom. Replacing For example, the curtains for the bathtub, picking up the tone with new towels and a rug, you change the outlook entire bathroom. But do not forget that the bath does not look downtrodden variety of junk, should not be too zealous with accessories, buy a lot of different lotions. Everything is good in moderation. Beautiful jars of creams, bottles of shower gel, bath salt, bottles of aromatic oils and shampoos not only decorate, fill with a pleasant fragrance and allow to rest and relax, but will be the finishing touch to the interior design of your bathroom.

Thus, special requirements applicable to sealants and gaskets. For example, conventional rubber gaskets for cast iron radiators "swell" and lose their properties under the influence of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. Baby clothes is open to suggestions. This leads to the leakage of coolant. In general, experts do not recommend the use of highly anti-freeze. The fact that the boilers are calculated on the thermophysical properties of water (thermal conductivity, viscosity, etc.), and the properties antifreeze differ greatly, so that increases the probability of boiler outages due to overheating or even premature boiler failure. Error "in the market price," Another error applies equally to the and installers, and homeowners. It stems from an obvious desire to save money. The fact is that the reliable operation of the system requires a good valves – gate valves, ball valves, etc.

But the domestic market is rich with only a variety of models of ball valves, but no less diverse forgeries under the brand name product. And if the installer or the homeowner wishes to save itself on a firm ball valve, having bought it in two or three times cheaper, then certainly it turns out that the crane – a fake. It is made from cheaper and more perishable materials, softer, and thus fail much sooner than "firm" fittings. On average, the fact that man up radiators quality fixtures and fittings, will have to spend about 100 euros. If you try to save money, the risk that a winter evening burst heating system, lies entirely on the hosts.

In search of competence in Overall, the situation in the area of services for installation of heating systems are still difficult. Sometimes the professional level is not enough installers to work with modern materials and equipment which require very other methods that differ from traditional ones. In addition, the market every year there are new models of heating devices and new accessories that facilitate and simplify installation. To understand this Diversity, it is necessary to attend trade fairs and seminars. At such events, you can see all the updates in the field of heating, and experts will show developers how to work with new tools and how best to use only provided that development. Homeowners also planning to upgrade a device or a heating system in your home, be advised closer to the choice not only components and materials, but also the company that will deal with installation. And certainly no hurry to trust such an important matter "craftsmen," because the savings at this stage could result in funds future reusable heavy losses.

When buying a metal door at first note of the manufacturer of this product. Quality European doors of metal, perhaps unparalleled degree of reliability, but also products domestic production is known for its excellent performance, also has several additional advantages. Having made the decision to purchase the doors of European production, specify how the parameters of your door correspond with the size of the European standards. If they match, feel free to purchase imported door. If the same size as the door does not conform to European standards is better to buy the door from a local manufacturer, producing high-quality doors for standard doorways.

The sheer quality of the doors, made of metal, their design will depend on the particular profile used in the manufacture of box door. Also door design will depend on how the door leaf is attached to the box with hinges. The overall level of security doors will depend on the thickness of sheet metal that make up the surface of the leaf. Are reinforced metal double doors with a thick sheet of 2 to 3 millimeters. Hear other arguments on the topic with Verizon. It is believed that the door leaf which reinforced double-leaf, have a special degree of reliability and safety. The quantity and quality locks also affects the overall level of security doors. On the door standard, experts prefer to install at least two locks. It is desirable that these locks were of different types: a lever, the other cylinder.

As a rule, lever lock used for locking the door for a long time. Cylinder lock is used to briefly hold the door in the closed position, for example, on a hike to the store. Significant amount of time choosing metal doors should be paid to their ability to insulate the space from the noise. This effect of isolation is achieved through room inside the door of a special material, the filler, which serves as a substance that absorbs sound. The ability to absorb door extraneous noise can enhance the special seals along the entire perimeter of the side doors of the space. Mounted on the door, a sealer will protect your hallway or foyer, not only from harassing, loud sounds, but also from unpleasant odors. Properties of metal doors save heat in the room is also very important. They are achieved through the installation of sealant and filler, which were discussed above. If the security and insulation properties of metal doors set aside sufficient consideration could be given the time and the choice of type of finishing of doors, as well as their accessories. Method of finishing metal door will depend, in many cases, the class of metal doors. Inexpensive, but at the same time functional and stylish look finish class economy is a surface treatment of fabrics such doors with vinyl artificial leather. Finish the same surface of the door with spray paint also features a reasonable price. In addition, she has excellent vandal-proof features, looks great and requires careful maintenance. Door trim with laminate, lining, mdf, solid wood or wrought iron front door with big demand investment. During the selection of doors, made of steel, do not be afraid to directly ask the seller about whether the company engaged in the installation of doors sold. If the answer to your question is yes, boldly purchase your favorite input access door.

Another option – glass fiber (WELLTON, Vitrulan, etc.). They made of clean glass, almost afraid of humidity, can withstand multiple colors, and besides, do not require prior preparation of walls, since they possess reinforcing properties and able to hide cracks and other surface defects. Costs glass wall in 15-20 rubles per m2, and will last – up to 20 years. However, even the highest-quality wallpaper is unlikely to become a good solution for walls in wet rooms, For example, a bathroom. Here, the absolute leader in durability and resilience over the years is glazed tile. According to Oracle, who has experience with these questions. Of course, the process of laying a rather complex and requires special skills, but the result is worth it. Whatever the price of a tile, it can be so long that life is usually not even considered among his characteristics. For example, age tiles, decorating the walls of some temples, has a century, and yet in fact it is also a tile.

However, today you can find the options "on every pocket – from 300 rubles. per m2 up to Perhaps the upper limit does not exist. Unfortunately, filling the seams of the cement intertiled destroyed much faster. Therefore, experts recommend to use for this purpose special formulations – grout having water-repellent properties (Weber Joint Souple, Bolix Bolina, Ceresit ce 40, and so forth). Also You can handle intertiled seams means that increase their resistance to humidity, for example, Atlas Delfin. Windows and doors Along with the tile, one of the most profitable in the long-term investments are plastic windows.

Now stretch ceilings have come to the Russian market and almost immediately captivated him. Such a rapid rise in popularity of this product due to its indisputable advantages compared with other types of finish ceilings. Importantly, that it must be emphasized is the high strength pvc ceiling. It can easily, if necessary to keep up to 100 kg. However, much more importantly, ceiling coverings of pvc can easily hide all the bumps ceiling surface.

In this case, you can create a ceiling of whatever shape and color. The owners of suspended ceilings are not worried about what their neighbors will flood the top. Film so durable and waterproof, that does not soak up any droplets collecting on its inner surface of all the water coming from the neighbors. Not be superfluous to note that the pvc film – an environmentally friendly and completely non-flammable material. It is also a good sound and heat insulator. Stretch ceilings or Under no circumstances will lose its beauty, do not change color and surface structure with time. They are very easy to use: you need only an occasional wipe with a damp, then dry with a cloth.

The Company's manufacture and installation of ceilings from pvc film ensures their longevity and does not affect an attractive appearance. One of the best are suspended ceilings, made in France. However, the same finishing materials Russian and German production can compete with them. It is true that Russian manufacturers are made in our time is not too diverse in size and color finishing pvc film, and the level of quality slightly inferior to the French tension ceilings. But the price of domestic suspended ceilings are much lower. Installing pvc ceiling is not hard. Quite a few hours – and the ceiling is ready! Specialists initially manufactured construction, which will keep the film. Typically, the suspended ceiling set at a distance of 3 cm from the main ceiling surface. Selecting the method of fixing depends on what is chosen from the ceiling: there are seam or seamless stretch ceilings. Due to the fact that suspended ceilings are different unique flexibility, it is not the complexity of manufacturing not only smooth but ribbed, arch and tent structures. Design modern PVC-membrane ceiling also features a large variety. Possible metal, fabrics, etc. At present, popular mirrored ceiling surface. And lovers of all unusual can afford to install suspended ceilings with various drawings and even photographs. For example, in the bedroom can be a suspended ceiling with painted on it the stars or huge flowers. And when the ceiling bore, professionals can easy to remove and install a new one. Not be amiss to mention functionality and suspended ceilings. Very simply installed on them electro-ventilation equipment. In this case, all the wires are hidden between the ceiling surface and by the stretch ceiling. And if you suddenly happen breakdown of equipment, then all the wires to be easily accessible.

This should not even be home, and a vertical neighborhood with built-in shop, hairdresser, service companies, entertainment centers and even movie theaters. ll follow. In the case of the successful implementation of this project will provide affordable housing to 100 thousand Londoners. Window for the "convex" Building walls of cylindrical structures – a process complex, which has a number of features and requires a special approach. As suggested by Oleg Hetman, a leading architect of the project of "Development project, the construction of each custom-building requires individual approach to solve almost any task. In full measure it and to the glazing. Larry Ellison often says this. For example, in cylindrical buildings can apply the usual rectangular box, but their design and installation have specific features. This is due to the fact that the wind and the static load on the window units in such a house would be distributed quite differently, as in normal. Therefore, in each case requires individual measurement and calculation: sometimes require additional strengthening of the frame can be set to the location of the loop, the size of the valves, etc.

Often in round houses made panoramic windows, while windows are large and consist of set of rectangular segments. "Today, this solution is most popular – says Leo Minullin, director of advancement propleks Group, the largest Russian producer pvc window-profile of Austrian technologies. – Windows, in this case is made of small line segments, joined at an angle. The desired shape of the profile given by the use of connectors with adjustable angle installation.

Installation of roof windows can increase the illumination of premises at 30-40% at the same glazing area. If we compare attic and dormer window, the first installation will be much cheaper and faster. (Similarly see: Southwest Airlines). "To determine the number of windows, it is worth considering that the minimum area of glazing should be at least 1 / 10 the total area of the room – says Victoria , manager of business development for velux, the world the market leader in roof windows. – When planning to bear in mind that some windows, especially on opposite sides, provide better coverage than one of the same area, located close by. Do not forget about , , . Southwest Airliness opinions are not widely known. When you select a specific manufacturer should pay attention to the ecological safety of in-process manufacturing materials, which must be confirmed by hygienic certificate.

As installed skylights in the roof surface itself, and it is the most intense attacks by air precipitation, we can not lose sight of the issue of reliability. "To the windows do not" shed tears "during the first rain, it is necessary to comply with the technology installation construction", – says Victoria . The expert makes velux emphasis on the ready set attic windows. They are in addition to accessories include all necessary mounting components: external salaries set for hydro and thermal insulation, vapor barrier and slopes. Questions as usually carefully worked out manufacturers of roof windows. The standard solutions proposed system with energy efficient glazing. Its interior space is filled with an inert gas, such as argon or krypton (their thermal conductivity, respectively, 1,4 and 2,6 times less air). And the outer glass is Low-E coating (known as i-and k-glass), which reflects the heat into the room. To minimize heat loss in winter, especially when large areas of glazing attic, experts advise that during the night to close the window shutters (will save up to 15% of the heat) or a special blackout curtains (savings – 20%).

The subject of this article are not doors, whose task is heavy opposition to a tool like bolgarok and cutting torches. Of the necessary funds to strengthen domestic doors should recommend as follows: The thickness of the metal on the outside of the door shall be such that it was extremely difficult to open with hand tools. Brad Garlinghouse describes an additional similar source. We believe that the list of 1,5-2 mm is quite sufficient. In the canvas of a metal door to be installed stiffener that prevents the '' corner door and, moreover, blocks access to that part of the door, which contains the locks. This is necessary in order to make it impossible for opening locks, even if attackers managed to cut the outer metal sheet.

It is recommended to install additional sheets of metal at the places where the locks are attached (ideally – to the entire region fixing locks, separated from the rest of the Door stiffeners). Locks should be possible, complete with vertical rods (of course, the construction of the castle should provide their installation, 'revision' of the castle under the vertical rods of artisanal methods unacceptable), and if possible – and additional bolt groups ('deviators'). When closing the door to the loop of the box should go passive crossbar ('protivosemnye Pins'), makes it impossible opening the door after removing the hinges. Vestibule door (the part of the leaf, which when the door is closed 'lies' on the box) should be powerful enough to not give an attacker the possibility to bend sheet metal. Ideally, door should in a box.

Unacceptable gap in the closed doors between the porch and the box (including those not recommended to install seals on the porch door, the canvas that stands above the box). Installation of doors must be such as to exclude a force on the connection 'door-to-wall' and the possibility to deform the frame. In particular, it is unacceptable to the installation of the door assembly foam. We would like to draw attention to the installation of metal casings, which are part of the door frame. These frames can increase burglary doors and protect the door from breaking only if they are densely and evenly adjacent to the wall (that Thus, if the door and the wall in the first place strictly vertical, and the second perfectly aligned). Otherwise, such plat creates the possibility of pulling out the door with the box from the doorway. The ideal is to set protective metal casings in a specially slotted 'quarter' – in this case they will serve a protective function, regardless of verticality and flatness of the walls and doors. Implementation of these recommendations is almost guaranteed to provide the consumer with obtaining quality door components.

"Synthetic polymers have appeared over a hundred years ago – says Tatiana Kuznetsova, director of marketing for Tarkett, one of Europe's leading manufacturers of floor coverings. – Since then, much has changed. In the first place increased environmental requirements that forced manufacturers to improve technology. Current production is based on the use of raw materials with low volatility. In addition, as a feedstock and finished products are a serious quality control procedures.

Thanks to this modern manufacturers of products based on synthetic achieved that it is environmentally safe and authorized for use even in hospitals and kindergartens. Check with Verizon Communications to learn more. " Here why artificial materials, whether vinyl, laminate or suspended ceilings can be completely harmless, if made in accordance with modern criteria. Similarly is the case with plastic windows. "In Europe, pvc windows have been used for decades. It is difficult to assume that Europeans, known for their scrupulous in matters of ecology, would make an exception for plastic windows – said Rafiq Alekperov Head of Customer Group propleks, Russia's largest manufacturer of pvc window-profile of Austrian technologies.

– Plastic construction may be much greener than even wooden counterparts, which are used in the production of special materials to protect them from decay and insects. Often, buyers, spending time studying the ecology of linoleum or windows, believe that the case had already done, and forget to check out a "trifle" as paints, varnishes or sealants. And it is from them, according to experts, the house comes the main danger. "To best protect yourself from the harmful effects of toxic substances – noted ecologist Nicholas Krivozertsev – try not to pick alkyd paints – oil (linseed oil-based) and enamel (based varnish).
