Usually for a roof that uses horses and rooftop concrete block, for horizontal beam used iron channel C (CNP), rafters used hollow iron . The advantages of this concrete framework of one of the architectural side, the roof could be exposed so that the use could be minimized ceiling/plafond which automatically will be reduced costs.
3. The roof frame made of steel is usually used as the IWF as main truss, depending on the existing design. When viewed in terms of cost, using a steel roof truss is still cheaper and faster than the rafters are made of concrete. But because the price is relative and changing all the time. accurately compute ratios of types of roofs. because it could just as of this writing uses more steel cheaper than concrete but can be reversed in other time.

Width should not exceed 15 cm and thickness of no more than 2 cm. For long could still vary. Also requires professional installation and solid wood floors are also prone to scratches, fire and cracks. There should also be given to avoid noisy silencer. And the main enemy is water.

Wood floor system layer (engineer wood floor). This constitutes the type of floor is crisscrossed layers of wood to create a stable material against the expansion and shrinkage. Usually consists of 2 -3 layers or more are in press with temperature and high pressure. Layer or the top layer is a thin layer of real wood (Venner). While the bottom layer can be either plywood or HDF (high density fibreboard). So you do not need to worry because the effects and really look like real solid wood.
for a thick layer Venner (about 6 mm) can be done in 2 - 3 times refinish. Some manufacturers may even provide warranty to 25 years.

Something false will not always bad. cheaper than solid wood floors or wood floors with a layer system. Problem endurance and strength is not inferior to engineer wood floor. A good quality can hold up to 800 kg load. Even this type of laminate is more resistant to water, fire and scratches.
The top layer is printed to resemble wood fibers coated with plastic ydang coating. While the core layer of HDF (High density Fibreboard) or MDF (medium density fibreboard).
The installation is very easy that can be done individually for a small room ..
Brand laminate floor is very much in the market and most were imported. Some of them are Armtrong, Teka or Asian Décor.

How to paint the house properly.
Paint is a liquid that will form a layer on the surface of the substrate (painted objects) after they're dry. Its function is to protect the substrate (bottom layer), and increase the aesthetic value

There are 4 ways to distinguish the types of paint, namely the substrate, function, type of binding, and the type of solvent. "Based on the substrate, consisting of wood paint, metal, walls, stone, glass, and others. If the function is putty / wood filler, wall filler, primary, SURFACER, sanding sealer, sealer, topcoat, and others - other. From the type of binder (binder) consists of acrylic paint, NC (nitrocellulose), epoxy, synthetic, and others. While the solvent is a solvent paint solvent / paint thinner (Solventbased) and paint solvent water (Waterbased). "

INTERIOR VS EXTERIOR
Apparently there are differences in the paint for interior or exterior. Paint for exterior (outside the home) is more protective of the weather, while the interior paint (the inside) more highlights aesthetic aspects. "So, paint the interior obviously can not be used for the exterior. Conversely, exterior paint can be used for the interior.

Paint the interior can be seen from the smooth appearance of layers of paint and color. "There is also easy to clean in order to simplify maintenance, not easy to mold, if applied in areas where sufficient moisture (wet areas), the paint layer can cover the occurrence of hair cracks in the walls. Just as important, free of heavy metal content (heavy metal)."

While the exterior paint, in addition to giving the aesthetic aspects of the wall, also serves to protect the walls from the weather. "Wall to wall sun, rain, plus the temperature change due to weather changes quickly make the outer walls were damaged.

That is the need for paint that are resistant to the weather so as not to be easily damaged. Damage caused water seepage during the rainy season into the wall. Usually cause spots -mole on the wall.

BASIC TECHNIQUES
Not always paint the desired color is available in stores. That's why I can not help mix the paint to be one way out. If this road should you choose, you should follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of paint mixing. "For example, paint walls, usually mixed with water up to 20 percent. Mixture should not be performed directly on the tin, pour the first into another container, just add water and mix well. It is important to keep the paint is not easily damaged because the water is mixed with non-sterile. "

Note the well walls to be painted. If the new wall, make sure the wall was perfectly dry, ie after 28 days. Another thing that is also very important, levels of alkali from masonry walls. Ask people who know to measure the levels of alkali to be walls of your house paint. If the pH (acidity level) above 8, levels are still high, and walls painted yet prepared.

The results paint a perfect wall hanging cleanliness before being painted. "The wall must be absolutely free from dust and dirt. Clean the wall of the former cement spray, Calcification, dust, oil, and other impurities. Use coarse sandpaper or brush dampened with clean water. To clean moss or mildew, wash the walls with chlorine solution of 10 -15 percent, then rinse with clean water, and let it dry first.

SELECT QUALITY
So, what if you are not comfortable with the color or quality of paint that was smeared on the wall? Wait until the paint on the drywall, new paint coated again with another color. "Because the paint gives the walls a solid color or closed, the color of the previous layer will not affect the origin of the cat power cover (hiding power) was good."

About quality, it appears it idiom "There are no products prices" are often spoken of the traders, have a point. "Expensive goods are usually good," "Logically, a good quality paint must be made from quality ingredients that cost is different, too." In addition, the content of additional substances (additives) that the complete course will make a higher price and improve the quality of paint. For example, in terms of refinement, flexibility coat of paint, as well as ease of application. Well, the paint was ready to vote for your palace?

CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOR
1. Color to be part of all colors and more free because there is almost no influence of weather.
2. While the outside, should avoid colors that contain red element because it has a lightfastness (light resistance) is low.
3. Always use color schemes (color scheme) for combining the kinds of colors. This is about the nuances of taste is also what you want to display (color psychology).
4. To narrow space with low ceilings, we recommend using colors of youth to the wide impressed.
