The global crisis is affecting many sectors, not least by building materials, particularly imported building materials. Meanwhile, the above problems can’t be ignored, especially following a high level of rain lately. Because if allowed, could damage the wider, ends any repair costs will be even greater. If Seeing Benefit then to choose a quality building materials and appropriate, clearly becomes the main choice. But that should be observed is not only on the high fixed price of building materials, but also see the added value given in the visible behind the high price it.

As technology progresses, the current building materials intentionally processed to meet the needs of each user. The more practical, easier, more durable and made with the concept based on more environmentally friendly. For example lightweight steel roof that is now widely used to replace wood as the roof structure. This material is more resistant to weather exposure, anti-termite, which is more durable. This lightweight steel roof also has a level of diversification of products with different rust resistance that can be adapted to the needs of homeless.

In addition, there is instant cement which has now become an alternative to the basic material structure. Are ready to use any process of clan seemed more practical? This instant cement into the mortar solutions will often uneven, leading to problems such as hair cracks on the wall or floor tiles that suddenly ballooned (pop up). Read the rest of this entry »

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 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:

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.
