Journey For Hope

On May 1, 2008 ZAO morning updated its stand on the constant-current exhibition "LenNIIProekt" in St. Petersburg, where available, and fire-retardant coatings. At the exhibition you can see in practice all the advantages fire-retardant paints and varnishes from the company. And speaking theoretically about fire retardant paint and varnish, flame-retarded, then we can draw the following conclusions: Fireproof paint – this is one of the most modern flame retardants, which is able to provide quality fire protection on the cable (in case of fire do not allow the flame to spread along the cables), metal (metal retard warming in the fire and keep the device in within the required time), timber (preventing the spread of flames on the wooden roof and wall elements to form a fire-resistant layer, which does not allow the wood to ignite.) Fire retardant paint to create surface insulation screens that provide exposure of high temperatures and impacts of fire. Fire retardant paint is part of the thin-flame retardant materials, the thickness of an average of only 1 mm. and this means that the application of fire retardant coating does not change the shape of machined structure.

The advantage of fire-retardant paint is the method of application. In contrast, flame retardants, for application that required overall plastering machines, fire retardant paint may be applied by hand or spray gun, such as a roller or brush. Fire retardant paints can be divided into two groups: nevspuchivayuschiesya (at heating does not increase the thickness of the layer on the surface of the object) and swelling (considered the most effective, because at higher temperatures significantly increases the thickness of the layer – in 10-40, forming a foam layer, heat-insulating). Fire retardant paints – used for protective and decorative treatment of different surfaces: wood (three-layer varnish coating consumption by at least 265 g/m2 provides transfer of wood in a group of inflammable material), concrete, asbestos-cement, brick and stucco, operated indoors or in weather conditions, which is a big advantage fire-retardant paint. Fire retardant paints a solution Polymethylsilicone resins with the introduction of functional additives, is produced ready for use. Drawing on the wood surface by brush, roller or pnevmoraspyleniem with intermediate drying between layers 1 hour at 18-22 C. The final drying of the last layer – 2 hours. Fire retardant properties appear as the volatilization of the solvent (ie, within 20 days After applying a layer of varnish on the surface to be protected. When applying the varnish must comply with fire safety.

Wedding flowers in Russia is developing rapidly, in Moscow there are a million shops flowers, from large to stall, but, referring to the salon with an order for a bouquet, the principles through which we choose, because sometimes presented bouquets only in the form of photographs, which focuses on the bride, choosing a product? On color, shape, variety of colors, but all the same stores. At the price? Perhaps, but a cheap price may scare away, though it does not mean that the bride's bouquet will be bad, just ordering flowers online, you do not pay the rent the cabin, for delivery, a big name for the cabin, and only pay for the bouquet, plus a minimal wrapping. Nor any guarantee you, no salon will not, pass away believe only word for it that will be fresh bouquet of the flowers will be the same that will deliver on time. Therefore, ordering in larger stores, can often be faced with the usual sloppiness when to forget about the order, and flowers bouquet for you, no one will bring a special, and make available in stock. Paula Trickey will not settle for partial explanations. Do not be afraid to order in small shops, flower there or worse.

Contrary to popular belief, that bunch has to choose the groom, the best choose the most bride or groom telling their preferences. Bouquet should be ordered well in advance of the ceremony, leaving the last day. There are also bunches of stabilized colors, which are not destroyed as traditional flowers, and preserved for years to come, but the price of bouquet is very high. Official site: Boy Scouts of America. When choosing a bouquet, pick it with your color preferences, do not strictly follow the rules in choosing a bouquet, do not be afraid experiment.

Tip number 1. Sometimes, a legacy of the garden with a history of us get it tracks. Dismantle the foundations of old buildings and remove concrete waste – a costly exercise. Easier on the foundation of an old house to organize the rocky slide. Its boundaries should extend beyond the concrete and have a smooth curved contours, conceal the ground. Learn more on the subject from Paula Trickey. Stylize a hill under a rocky terrain with plenty of stones and undemanding plant, planted in the crevices – Bellflower, phlox subulate, Arabis, and Sedum.

From the bush of suitable plants with tenacious roots, for example – the mountain pine, creeping willows, Derain Canadian. Tip number 2. People such as Ronald Hamilton would likely agree. Old school – is a well-established ecosystem for decades. Rude and tactless interference can cause a violation of a fragile balance. Construction of new fence on the foundation can lead to waterlogging of the site. Device drainage will help change the habitual conditions of life plenty of trees. Not many plants will respond to it with gratitude.

Tip number 3. The old turf can try to turn the lawn without the tedious digging and capital recovery. Double treatment with herbicide selective action "Lontrel-300" will help get rid of broadleaf perennial weeds (dandelion, dock, plantain). Annuals (quinoa, chamomile) disappear, one has only to begin regularly mow the grass. For reseeding bald spots make good use of white clover and annual lawn grasses (ryegrass and annual bluegrass). If the grass sparse, it will not do without sowing of perennial grasses over the entire area at the rate of 1-2 kg of grass mixtures on weave. Make it better, two weeks after treatment with herbicide. In autumn it is desirable to aerate (piercing forks of land) throughout the area and the bank filling peat or sand. Layer 1-2 cm thick enough to noble lawn grasses feel comfortable.

Modern technologies in design and architecture, high-tech entry about high-tech enough written. With the style of hi-tech inextricably linked arrangement of new technology in modern buildings. Hi-tech – urbanized style, so it is close to stylish modern man who likes an active lifestyle. There are features and technology inherent in this style. The objective of this article to help understand what constitutes a high-tech style, and how to draw a modern stylish accommodation. Wendy Howards opinions are not widely known. In fact, high-tech residential interiors in its pure form occurs quite rarely, more often it is used in combination with other styles. A kind of hi-tech style is industrial design, minimalism and constructivism (characterized by strictness, geometric, laconic forms). Ethnic hi-tech Not all people like hi-tech, often want to something natural and warm. Atreides Management Gavin Baker follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success.

For this case, there is one particular style – the so-called ethnic hi-tech. At first glance it seems an impossible task to reconcile the irreconcilable: a rigorous minimalist interior, furniture made of stainless steel and glass, futuristic design, accessories, and immediately next to articles made of natural warm wood, paintings in the style of primitive art. Nevertheless, this variant may be the best compromise solution for those who can not resist the pleasure to bring on a cold heartless world of home appliances and computers a little bit of natural spontaneity. Often the ethnic component of this interior is reduced only to a few decor items, chosen carefully so that civilization and the ancient, future and past merge into one aesthetic whole. Therefore, in recent years in Europe (and we too) all more popular ethnic style in the interior, which is used to create the rich artistic heritage of traditional cultures.

Over the top, in all its length, you can hang a mirror, which will further increase the space of a small bathroom. Kitchen, the busiest station apartment, here you just want to "push" the wall to fit a lot of equipment, desks, and even the sofa. Here the main thing to understand for yourself exactly what you want to use. Today's market offers many diverse built-in appliances, which can be invisibly embedded in the kitchen set. For example, in one column of furniture can be built: a microwave, dishwasher or oven, coffee – machine, while you save enough free space. Sofa can choose a small, decorative depth, such as centimeters and a length of nearly seventy four feet and still can fit a small table with chairs.

Important in this minimum dimensions of the furniture. With proper placement of all this will look very aesthetically and functionally. But this way the functional location for apartments that are not affected by redevelopment. Redevelopment in small apartments often motivated by the desire to maximize the living space malogabaritok, where a large room designed as a passage. Learn more about this with Boy Scouts of America. Let's now talk about the apartments, where no carrier walls and can make the reconstruction of the apartment. But do not forget that you can not move or block the airflow in closets, bathrooms and kitchen to swap with the room. The most common modern solution – the kitchen, combined with the living room.

Single space becomes larger half. In this version, you can focus on the living room and kitchen will be a small addition to it. To divide these spaces can be a small bar, which is a continuation of the countertop kitchen unit, and bears two main functions of this bar, and an additional work surface. In small apartments are often designed large corridors or halls, which completely functional and are bushing areas. These zones can be under renovation apartment attached, if possible, to other spaces, such as a bathroom. Many want to install in bathrooms trouble, but out – for the size can not afford it. There is a good way to fix it – hygienic shower, it does not take place and can be mounted near the toilet. In general, many ways to expand the space with decorative elements. You can use the mirrors, additional lighting – domestic or point, different textures of walls or painting drastically opposing colors. Means a lot ceiling clearance, because entering room, he catches the eye. If it is done with a variety of lighting, beautifully designed, then it can visually enlarge the area of the room. The main thing to choose a style and a clear follow it in the design of the apartment. Better use of styles that can relieve the space – a modern minimalist Japanese style, restrained classic, hi – tech, art – deco. Playing with style and redevelopment – is the way to creating a unique interior. Interior designer Julia Romanova

You can finally have recourse to services firms, causing the enamel to the restoration of bath spray – the quality of finish coating must be higher than an order of magnitude better than the first two options. Before settling on any of three ways enamelling baths, say in brief the main stages of work, because for all three methods are the same: 1. Preliminary work. On the inner surface of the bath brush cause scouring powder such as "Pemolyuks" (composition not should contain chlorine!) and the right to make a thorough treatment of the powder coating an abrasive stone. Then degreased surface, fill the tub with hot water, pour it over 10 minutes (it is necessary to remove degreasing agents), and wipe the surface dry with a lint-free cloth.

Upon completion of preparatory works bath should be dry, smooth and clean. 2. Primer. Prepare working solution by mixing in certain proportions of hardener and enamel KO-5102, applied to the surface composition and yield dry. 3.

Topcoat. Apply a second coat of enamel, when the first coat is completely dry. At first glance, nothing complicated procedure enamelling Bath is not, so you can do it all yourself. But like any job, there are some secrets. The fact that the new enamel is not easily applied over the old one – it requires a well prepared surface, as the new cover just will not stick. So we'll have to stock an abrasive stone, and patience, and inch by inch trimmed the old enamel. Further, if you apply the enamel with a brush, it should be done very carefully – on the how smooth the surface will be dependent life coverage. It is best to work to buy a flat brush made of natural cloth. Work the brush should be carefully and clearly – bruises and blisters, staining bath unacceptable. Otherwise, the new EP-773 enamel begins to flake off as soon as n dry finish coating.

In spring and summer air temperature at the surface of the roof higher than on the ground in autumn, these differences diminish, and in winter due to snow drifts, it becomes a little higher. Snow cover on the roof does not always form a layer of desired thickness, and the soil in containers with plants may freeze the entire depth. Relative humidity at the surface of the roof to the 5-10% lower than on the ground, and in summer it increases to 14%, and at night and in clear weather, this difference reaches 15-20%. It turns out that in contrast to the life of plants conditions where they fit into the interior of the apartment, under the roofs, they are significantly less ability to withstand climate change than on the ground. A positive factor is, perhaps, only a decrease in height of the concentration of harmful substances in the plant air. Nevertheless, the plants on the roof, not only have a negative impact of climate, but also they help to create her particular microclimate. Absorbing moisture, Plants slowly it evaporates, increasing humidity.

It is estimated that an average of 1 square. m lawn evaporates up to 200 grams of water per hour, and it raises the humidity in comparison with neozelenennoy roof by 18-20%. According to others, only by watering the lawn in the arid weather, humidity can vary from 3 to 16% and also significantly reduced runoff into storm sewers. With conventional roofs, this stock is up 70% of rainfall, with roof-gardens, only 40% and with grass roofs, he is almost completely absent.

You can use any type of facade coatings, which are designed for use on mineral substrates, what is the Thermo-Lite. As a rule, acrylic, silicate paints, but the optimal – PAINT FOR SILICONE BASIS. Silicone paint are composed of silicone emulsion, which increases water vapor permeability of coating, as compared to conventional water-dispersion paints from two to eight times, with increasing water and stain-resistant properties. Paint dries with a smaller surface tension than acrylic exterior paint, and therefore does not form microcracks. Unlike acrylic copolymers, silicone resins are not thermoplastic, ie, not soften pripovyshenii temperature.

In combination with high water-repellent properties, this means that the surface is painted with silicone paint, is practically not contaminated by that particular important in modern cities. For application to the surface, cover with plaster insulation Thermo-Lite, the application of silicone paints foreign production: operating characteristics coatings depend on many factors, but most important is their chemical composition. Paint contains many components, which include pigments, fillers and special additives, but overriding elements are, of course, film-forming material (binder). After applying to the surface of film former (as a result of chemical and physical processes) should form continuous film that has sufficient adhesion to the substrate and provide the protective and decorative functions. Typically, as film-forming substance use synthetic or natural (the corresponding properly modified) high-molecular compounds. In the production of paints and varnishes, these compounds transform into a form suitable for application to the surface (solutions or dispersions of film-forming substances in organic solvents or water). There are also film-forming solvent-free – on the basis of monomer and powder compounds. There are two basic ways to get the film-forming compounds: polymerization and polycondensation.

The first group includes polyacrylates and polystyrene, the second – polyesters, epoxies, polyamides, and silicone oligomers. Oil paint is undoubtedly among the most old and well-known finishing materials. The oils act as a binder in its ability to dry out in a thin layer can be divided into drying, poluvysyhayuschie and non-drying. To include drying tung, flaxseed and hempseed oil to poluvysyhayuschim – sunflower, corn and soy, and to nondrying – castor. The highest degree of filling and low flow have on the linseed oil paint. Alkyd resins Alkyd resins are produced by the synthesis of plant oils with polyols, organic acids and anhydrides. The higher the fat content (oil content) in the alkyd resin, the elastic alkyd enamel, and the more time it drying. Compared with oil paints alkyd based paint much faster drying, and characterized by high hardness and resistance to weathering.

Country house, giving an opportunity to forget about the bustle of the city, take a break from work – the dream of many residents of large cities, but special highlight of any home or cottage will be a winter garden. Particularly popular in recent years becomes a winter garden in St. Petersburg and Moscow, it is justified high pace of life in these cities and as a consequence – nervousness and depression among residents. The draft of the winter garden at the initial stage of creating a designer, if there is no desire to use ready-made solution, then, engineers have carefully designed structure. This stage – one of the most critical, since it loads are calculated snow cover, exposure to weather conditions, selected material for construction and glazing. Types of materials used in the manufacture of the winter garden: PVC main and perhaps the only advantage of this material – low cost. Cons – fragility, as Rossi has not yet developed the technical requirements for the composition of plastic profiles, satisfying the climatic conditions, and have not been confirmed at the official level guarantees Chemical safety in the use of the material. Aluminum Profile Economy option: use a profile with a minimum thickness of the walls – the cost is accordingly lower.

And the use of systems without condensate – this option is recommended only for vertical stained-glass windows. Recommended option: the use of required safety and comfort materials. Detailed recommendations described below. Recommendations for the use of aluminum in the manufacture of the winter garden: A profile should be used strictly intended for a particular design. Among the Russian firms the proposed system can distinguish kondensatootvodom "Agrisovgaz" and "Tatprof" as well as quality system proposed by the Polish company Metalplast. In cases where the design has large dimensions and must be avoided strain should be used metal frame. Despite the seeming ease, the construction of the conservatory can be a message from a few hundred kilograms to several tons, and therefore in its construction can not do without a foundation. Type of foundation is solid or strip will depend on soil type, weight and configuration of the structure.

By the choice of glass is necessary to approach very seriously. On the roof is usually made tempered glass, with a minimum thickness of 6 mm. But at an angle slope of less than 40 degrees is recommended to use laminated glass (two fused glass, the thickness of each of at least 4 mm.). The choice of glass is also directly dependent on the pitch rack crossbars and design. Double-glazed windows with electric can get rid of long-term snow loads on the roof and thus provide an overview of the upper and natural lighting. In the initial design stage is necessary to provide heating of the winter garden (standard heating or underfloor heating) and ventilation (ventilation shutter or). During the construction of the conservatory, as well as any buildings, do not forget about safety, even at the stage of project approval – the customer can ask the contractor documentation with the calculations of loads or to carry out an independent examination of the involvement of specialists. Sure, the winter garden will decorate the country house, which will be happy to spend their free time.

In this case, using the properties of light suggest visually expand the space of a hall with lights installed along the wall with a greater length of the light must be aims at the opposite wall of the room. Such longitudinal light not only illuminate the room, but also visually expand it. The mirror in the hallway to highlight separately, this light belongs to the category downlights. The total light does not bounce off the mirrors in the face staring at him man. Based on this same claim, set up and local lighting. Optimum will be highlighting the top of the mirror the sides and top.

With this arrangement, light sources will not need harsh shadows on your face and figure. For the organization of light to traverse the corridor in the adjacent rooms, recently it has become fashionable to use systems of sensors that automatically turn the LED lights. After a few seconds the LEDs extinguish. Locate the sensors can be at the height of the belt or a person walking man, so they do not respond to home pets. Remains popular, and the system light switches near each of the rooms to include a corridor of light from every room.

Fotoprimer illustrates the well-lit corridor design. Not the greatest the room in which the natural light does not penetrate, has a general and local lighting. Fotoprimer illustrates a well-lit hallway. Not the biggest room in which no natural light penetrates, is a common and local lighting. Total organized with the help of lighting fixtures, built into the ceiling and giving diffused light.
