The use of furniture was the glass material can reduce dark spots in the house.


The sun is a source of natural resources supporting human survival. In addition to vitamin D, sunlight also able to kill fungi and bacteria that exist in the room. Distribution of sunlight must be in accordance with space requirements. If the quality of space with an ideal amount of light is not reached, the condition of the space will make us feel at home. Eg low-light room will create a gloomy atmosphere that will affect our mood. There are many ways to utilize and maximize natural light I in the house. Either by means of simple to complex.

Various media channel of light.
The entry of sunlight into the home can be through various media, such as windows, glass doors, skylights, glass block, wall overlay (rooster) and so on. Options are determined based on space requirements. If you want to go through the air, you should use a medium that has a cavity or can be opened, such as a window and the rooster, while the function for which only transmits light, can use glass block, skylights, and windows permanently.

Some objects that can be applied to the mirror, the wall panels, cabinets and tables.



Minimize the object and the dark space.
Some point in our house sometimes to death and darkness. That's because the spread of sunlight blocked by objects such as furniture. If you do not want to increase the intensity of natural light in space, we can make it appear brighter. Try to apply glass fiber materials for some furniture, for example, sets of dining table in the dining room. The sunlight will penetrate to the floor and dark areas will be minimized.
The use of dark material also affects the distribution of sunlight, including the use of dark colors to paint the walls. No need to be replaced if we have furniture like sofas antique with a dark color. We can change the color cover with a cloth or skin color is lighter. We can also apply the cotton and linen fabrics with bright colors instead of velvet, brocade or chenille with dark colors.

Cement board, Adding aesthetic outer wall

Cladding Applications - it looks inside

Face like a wall outside the building. Just like our face, the face of the building is designed as attractive, so beautiful to look at and steal the attention of the viewer. Forms, motifs and colors are designed in such a manner as desired. In the market, there are various materials that can be used as a cladding applications (cover) the outside wall. One of them, cement board. Strong, heat resistant and rain can be formed and cut to desired size, the excess cement board. Easy installation, no need to change the structure of the existing building. Color it was very easy because the surface preparation of cement can be painted according to taste. In the following pages, we describe a variety of cladding applications, advantages and ways of installation. Hopefully be an inspiration for you.

Colorful Design Outer Walls (cladding).
Design of building facade or cladding (outer wall) can be done without having to change the existing structure. Simply use the framework and cement board, in the form of artistic design and paint it with the right color choice. The result, the building facade or cladding looks more attractive and appealing.

Cladding Applications.
Generally the cladding material utilizing aluminum composite panel that price is quite high. However, the available colors are limited, making it difficult for consumers creativity in designing. It could also be a conventional way, ie using a mortar. It's just that this method is quite difficult and takes a relatively long Waku. That requires a modern material is practical, fast, efficient and affordable price.
Application of cladding is used as a cover and outer wall variations, thus adding an aesthetic without changing the initial structure of the building. To creating it takes the right materials, namely cement board. This material is extremely strong and impact resistant. Cement board using cement-based material with fiberglass reinforcement fibers, so it has a high density and characteristics. This material is also resistant to extreme weather, either rain or heat.
Applications with cement board cladding can be formed according to design needs. When changes in design and shape of a sudden, cement board has the flexibility and easy to cut to their needs. This is certainly easier to work more quickly and efficiently.

The advantages of cement board.
There are many advantages gained by using cement board. Besides the material is made from quality materials, these materials provide accurate and quick solutions in designing the cladding. This material can also be cut to dimension. The thickness of the outer wall or cladding material varies, ranging from the 9:12 and 15 mm, with a size of 1220 x 2440 mm (size plywood). Usually the thickness of the commonly used 9 and 12 mm with dimensions 1220 x 2440 mm.
The advantages to using cement board cladding is situated on a high density level. This also led to a strong panel characteristics, impact resistant and extreme weather.
Another advantage of material, could be fire resistant, mildew resistant, termite resistant, its easy maintenance, can be painted directly without using the plamir.

How To Install.
Mechanical installation of cement board for cladding or building facades are very practical and does not take a long time. Here are the steps in the execution of the cladding by using cement board.
1. Find the area of fields and the midpoint of that will be applied as a cement board cladding.
2. Start the installation frame, hollow, elbow, and others according to the weight of the panel. Distance of order of about 610 x 1220 mm or 610 x 610 mm.
3. Use a 9 mm thick cement board and the dimensions of 1220 x 2440 mm. ensure a strong and sturdy frame before being installed.
4. Installation of cement board in order starting from the middle point has been determined. Give a gap of about 10 mm for placement back up rod and sealant type of polyurethane (PU) as a liaison between the cement board.
5. Replace the screw type drill self tapping screw wings (a special installation of cement board) who have wings at the ends to facilitate overshunk against the panel. The aim is to strengthen the field of cement board and sink the screw so I could compounded and do not appear on the surface. Screws installed with a minimum distance of 50 mm from the point of cement board and 15 mm from the cement board.
6. Perform final finishing after panels installed perfectly into facade cladding or by using paint. Can use all types of paint and color and design according to the desired taste.

Tips On Choosing:
1. High priority when choosing the material covering the outside walls of buildings.
2. Choose a strong and resistant to impact, heat and rain.
3. In order to fulfill the design as you wish, choose materials that can be cut to desired size.
4. Reasonably priced, quick and easy work to save energy and time planned.
5. Cement board surface can be painted easily with the color you want, without having to using plamir.
6. Do not hesitate to pour creative ideas on the cement board as cladding applications.
