Automatic Sliding Doors
Produce and deliver to Russia quite a lot. This Belarusian, German, Austrian, French companies manufacturers. There are also Russian manufacturers of roller shutters, which are increasingly gaining market share. The thing is, that profile systems from different industries, may not be compatible with each other. Further it is necessary indifitsirovat profile itself, they have each manufacturer in the area three decades.
They are seamless (extruded), with filled with polyurethane foam, perforated, and vary in thickness and size. Finally, the very problem, it can be determined visually or have to disassemble the shutters. Next you need to create a list of spare parts necessary to replace, to measure the threaded parts and place an order from the manufacturer. If shutters automatic is much more complicated. Such a variety of engines there is no single device.
Engines for roller shutters come with emergency opening, bulk, Tubular. Manufacture of almost all countries, while excluding Russia. They differ as to the power of the intensity of work diameter. For the diagnosis and replacement motor must dismantle blinds and open the box. Here is a set of tools recommended for the repair of one of the manufacturers: electric drill, sds adapter with keyless chuck, the level of construction blocks with 1,5 m, riveting machine, zlektroperforator, cordless screwdriver, tool box, hammer bench 400 gr., a set of percussion instruments (punch, bolt, punch, chisel), stair-purpose, set of files, pliers, side averages, hacksaw, a set of wrenches, pliers, screwdriver set carbide, metal scissors, gun, silicone, caliper 125 mm., elektroudlinitel not less than 30 meters, the drill on concrete d 6-8 mm., L = 160-200 mm., a standard set of drill bits for metal, electric screwdriver.

House Building
In xx century, gained popularity log houses. Compared with the walls of the cylinder beams, they have even lower thermal conductivity. In the winter cold unheated house warming just a few hours. One of the main advantages – the thickness of walls (150 mm). Ease and, at the same time, resistance to deformation, as well as the ability remove from the premises excess moisture, have an undeniable advantage square log walls.
For the construction of a fairly simple columnar foundation. Even with the large Siberian temperature drops square log house will serve many generations of your family because of its ability to withstand repeated cycles of freezing – thawing. Frequently Fabrizio Freda has said that publicly. A few years ago in Krasnoyarsk began using laminated veneer lumber. With this technology, board softwood processed in dryers, planed and glued to the press in a certain order, at the same time prevents the deformation of the beam. And on the strength of the house much larger than whole logs. Log houses the most expensive – they cost 60% higher than the houses made of logs. Frame house building features a low cost (25 rubles per square meter.
M), ease of installation and the possibility of building a house on the lung bases. Principle this technology is as follows: from bars with a thickness of 150 mm on the principle of cellular structures assemble frame, exterior and interior stacked heat insulator and then sheathe thick waterproof plywood or paneling. Massively panel House Building (MNU) is considered one of the most promising technologies.

Acrylic Bathtubs
Acrylic bathtubs – this is the last product, which appeared in the Russian market of bathrooms and immediately subdued buyers for its diversity. Our shops are tubs of acrylic from many manufacturers, but what is their the difference In practice, there is no big difference, since virtually all acrylic sheet is produced in Holland. A reasonable question, but what's all the same distinction, and why some acrylic baths are more expensive than others? The answer – it's sort of acrylic, form design and the layers of reinforcement. Let's look at the order of these three items: What is acrylic? As written in the handbook of Wikipedia: "Acrylic – a colloquial name of polymers based on derivatives of acrylic and methacrylic acid and polymer compositions of them. Methacrylates, the common name of esters of methacrylic acid and its salts. Esters – colorless liquid, salt – crystalline substance. Industrial importance mainly esters of ethanol, methanol, butanol, which is synthesized from various polymers. In particular, by the polymerization of methyl acrylate produce acrylic Plexiglas.
"Or Simply put – the plastic. All acrylic baths are made approximately the same technology – is taken acrylic sheet and a specialized vacuum chambers by heating a sheet attached to the required shape. In Further, to impart rigidity design – the outside of the bath applied to a reinforcing layer, the surface is covered with a special acrylic bath option of epoxy resin, which , binds Aquatic plastic. The procedure is somewhat similar to the imposition of gypsum in travmopunkte.

Ukraine Properties
One of the most popular interior parts are the doors. By the same author: Fabrizio Freda. At the present time in Ukraine and the Ukrainian market primacy occupied door sales of natural and artificial materials. Natural material has a very low acoustic and thermal conductivity, high frost-resistance, high strength, they are easy to recycle, but despite many advantages, in the wood there is excess moisture, which immediately leads to loss of its physical and mechanical properties. Therefore, a significant segment of the market belongs to substitutes that cost less than natural materials. Major natural materials for doors for doors from natural Wood is mainly used deciduous and coniferous trees.
Each tree has its own special properties. – Oak is the most widely used material in the manufacture of doors. It is practical and durable thanks to its strength and hardness. – Beech in value almost equal to oak. And has the same properties. – Ash unique tree, which has elasticity, toughness and flexibility at the same time, as well as hardness, more than oak. He retains its properties even in poor drying. – Mahogany – not just one breed.
This is a separate species of Australian eucalyptus, the California redwoods and the Philippine arrowroot, tree swallowtail, which has a high resistance to moisture and temperature extremes. -Cherry, walnut and maple – and precious woods. – Pine is the most practical timber. It is available for mass production. Due to their properties, there is little response to changes in temperature and humidity. Solid Wood Door There are two stages of manufacture of doors by the continuous filling of natural wood: one piece of wood (traditional) maple array (modern) Technology for manufacturing doors of solid work with living material requires special knowledge and skills.

Wood Colors
In choosing the material for the window block out and for aesthetic reasons, that is – the beauty, purity, surface treatment, elegance profiles, color nuances different types of wood. Windows play an important role in the appearance of the building, and in the interior of its interior, and their aesthetic perception is important. High quality surface treatment, giving complex shape of the profile is only possible with high technology. Despite the fact that the windows themselves are among the most important elements of protecting our buildings from rain, wind, dust, cold and noise of the city, they too must be protected to prolong life. Wooden windows need it more than others, so they must be high quality paint to ensure a better conservation. Wooden windows are painted with both internal and externally. Estee Lauder may not feel the same. Most importantly, carefully apply the paint on the outside. If you live in a mild climate, those windows that are made from sustainable timber to external actions, it is better to paint with oil paint or used to protect wood varnish.
Paint bright colors are generally used for heavily lit areas to sunlight can better capture and window profile is not overheat, and, correspondingly, no crack prematurely. For other opinions and approaches, find out what Ron Beit has to say. Some inconvenience of wooden windows is that they paint periodically need to update, since the penetrating even through a small damaged area can contribute to moisture and rot destruction of wooden parts. If the timber, due to exposure to water, is already damp, and its surface has lost its original form – these places, for starters, should be well sanded to paint them better behaved. When staining or polishing sash should take care to protect windows from dirt, varnish and paint. To do this, there are many ways to save the glass. For example, before this can cover the surface of the glass solution of soap suds and allow it to dry out before painting, and to use protective shields, masking tape and other protective materials. The wooden parts of the window covered with a layer of varnish is recommended immediately after installation or during the first six months, and additionally apply it once every three years. In addition, we must bear in mind that wood varnish can be applied to the rubber seals and fittings.

Windows Installation
Quality installation – this is important. pvc windows are made under strict process control, and installation is not technically controlled and are often given into the hands of cheap labor, ie, nonprofessionals. Reliable sentence should be: 'window under the key', 'manufacturing, installation, warranty and service. " Modern window of pvc is quite complicated and technical design, so everything related to windows and their installation should be have certificates of compliance. During the operation of the window exposed to considerable stress, both physical and mechanical. Here, Jorge Perez expresses very clear opinions on the subject. For example, the temperature difference between outside and indoors during the cold seasons. In this case, connection with the sealing glass and dense adjoining wing to the frame of the window, indoor air humidity increases. When improperly installing it causes condensation and cracks on the slopes of the window opening, then the emergence of drafts, mold and mildew at the junction between the frame and the wall.
According to experts of a successful and long life of the windows by 80-90% dependent on skilled installation and quality materials that fill Butt – the gap between the window frame and wall. Even if you have booked the most expensive and modern windows, and installation of pvc windows the dubious 'professional', all the advantages of plastic glazing can be reduced to zero. Installation of gost addition to installing the windows are strictly vertical and horizontal, solid mechanical connection between frame window to the wall, fill joint material, which can prevent the above-mentioned negative phenomenon. For a tight seal interface appropriate to apply a set of materials. Without going into specific terminology, the principle of joint seals is formulated as follows: inside the premises should be dense steam insulating material inside the joint – porous insulation materials, exterior – a material resistant to weather, water resistant, but is able to provide ventilation insulation layer, ie, insulation to breathe.
Using a long-term European experience with windowing systems, confirmed by research in the Russian climate, a German corporation developed the system technology sealing joints of windows and facades of buildings, which are used successfully in the global construction practice. The system consists of sealing strips and a polyurethane foam. Mount Technology is the following. Outside, in the presence of 'quarters', set the pre-compressed self-expanding band of flexible polyurethane (PSUL), and under reflux and in the absence of a window opening 'quarters' tape 'Germeteks lm diffusion'. These belts are securely protect butt from all external climatic factors. Then, in sequence, the frame stick vapor barrier tape. She does not let excess moisture contained in the air space. If you decide to plaster the slope, you need tape 'Germeteks lm oak or lmw Anticondensat'; if you set the slope of plastic or covered butt decorative moldings, it is advisable to apply the tape 'Germeteks lw Alum' (it's cheaper), under the sill recommend apply tape 'Germeteks lm l'. Only after that the gap between the frame and the window can be filled with polyurethane foam. By the way, not all foam is suitable for the job. High-quality foam makes big bubbles, it must be finely porous and dense, as required to serve for many years. Quality installation saves heat in your home and will not cause problems and considerable costs in the future.

In our country this type of technology is only unwound and with each passing day, becoming the most famous. Frame houses most in demand technology is not high-rise construction homes zagarodnogo species. Construction of this type allows to build homes as inexpensive private houses and cottages in several floors, which in appearance is not a bit inferior houses made of brick. In general, the frame houses are a number of advantages compared to other technologies.
First of all, the construction of this type of construction is performed in a short time. Next in importance factor is price. It is very suitable for almost all segments of the population, because it is small enough. In addition, the frame houses for its durability and environmental friendliness seriously outperform other technologies. In Depending on the location and destination, for any frame house is possible to calculate the thickness of the wall and the necessary heating system, which can significantly reduce operational costs. For such homes may choose any type of finish both outside and inside. High life of such buildings is achieved through processing and placement of a hidden frame. At the present time, is also very popular Houses are built of foam blocks.
Construction of porous concrete homes is relatively new and very interesting technique. This type of home without any complications will keep warm in winter and summer freshness, much better any other homes made by other methods, which greatly reduces the cost of heating and air conditioning. Still, as in frame houses can operate any kind of interior and exterior decoration. Houses of foam concrete blocks are very durable, comfortable and affordable. In addition, such homes have a low density and, therefore, little weight load on the floors, beams and foundation. What would you have chosen the method of erection Houses need to be pretty careful. Should first decide on the appointment of the house and its territorial location. Then, with the price category, and only then take up construction.

Reduce the time of the construction will also help the application of modern construction technology. "Easy to restore and modernize the infrastructure of the village, – said Sergey Chernyshov, General Director of the Russian business unit , – no easy task. Out of the situation can be found in the widespread use of technology construction of prefabricated buildings. Erection of this type has several advantages, thanks to which they have found the widest use in Western Europe and are becoming more popular in Russia. Ron Beit may not feel the same. " Our country has already developed a similar system, adapted specifically for rural needs.

In particular, their development was attended by representatives of known manufacturers of professional equipment for agricultural production – the company Big Dutchman, and vdl. With this in finished structures rationally placed the modern poultry and livestock equipment – systems disinfection, drinking fountains, lifting devices, etc., allowing the best use of production space. Such designs are based on light galvanized profiles, which allowed significantly reduce their weight, completely retaining the strength characteristics of the load-bearing frame. Assembling the building of light metal occurs through the junction of bolting, welding fully excluded. For the installation does not require heavy-lift cranes, and sometimes the assembly at all possible without the involvement of lifting equipment.

Wooden House Construction
The new fashion for "tree" in the year of crisis, when residential construction sank, people increasingly turn to more practical and simple solution – the construction of houses made of wood. And really, why buy a closet in the concrete metropolis, where you can become owner of your own spacious and comfortable log houses? Of what constitutes a low cost? Let's start with the basics – wooden house does not require special preparation of the soil. Foundation Log houses (as opposed to the same brick and cast) quite shallow, so not expensive. Wood has low thermal conductivity and high strength even at low thickness of the walls, wooden house to get lasting and warm. If the wall of the same brick building on the standards must not exceed 500 mm, enough for a wooden house 150-300 mm – another article saving in your construction budget. The tree itself is a wonderful finishing material therefore, the most unpretentious homeowners generally do not apply any finish wall inside the house, leaving the aesthetic wooden frame as a decoration.
With all these advantages, a wooden house built in the shortest Dates: Mighty house is built within a year, plus a year is spent on primary shrinkage. Thanks to modern impregnation, the wood for a long time preserves the color, excellent resistance to rot, mold and parasites, do not ignite from random sparks and becomes so strong that can withstand many years of strain. If the village houses of our grandparents during the years of service only darkened, and the wooden houses that are built today, decades will look like new.
