| Posted: 01 Jul 2015 09:58 AM PDT Soffit Colours On Natural Wood GrainMany people tend to shy away from wood fascias and soffit simply because it is not as durable as the aluminium and vinyl ones sold in the market today. They tend to chip off or the wooden material tends to rot if they get soaked in rain for days. Sometimes, they can also be a breeding ground for termites. However, natural wood & wood effect fascias and soffits can make the exterior of your home look elegant and charming. These are great compared to aluminium fascias and soffits, which do not really blend well with the exterior of a house unless of course it looks very modern on the outside. If your main concern is the external wear and tear that the soffit might be exposed to, you can solve that by colouring or painting it. There are also pre painted soffits and fascias available so you will not have to do a lot of work. Then there are the plastic or UPVC types which do not need this kind of care at all.  Exterior Soffit Lighting What is great about having colours on soffit natural wood grain is that it can accentuate the house. It instantly adds brightness to a room. It is like painting the ceiling but only in the external part of your house. In addition to that, it provides protection to the wood. The coloured coating makes the wood waterproof. It prevents it from turning musty or mouldy. It also protects it from the sun and other harsh external elements. This project is quite small and should not a lot of money. If you want to give the exterior of your home a little oomph, you can always have the soffits coloured. No need to spend a lot of money on expensive roof renovations or similar projects. Choosing the right colour is also fun and exciting. You can be bold and find a colour that is in contrast to the exterior colour of your home. If not, you can match it with the accents of the windows, doors or sides of your home. Talk to an expert about the right colour that you can pick for you home. Decide which particular shade is more ideal for the natural wood grain that you have used as your soffits and fascias. How To Find Coloured Soffits If this is your first time incorporating coloured soffits in your home, you might feel inadequate about choosing the right colour. The safest colour would be the same colour you have used for your gutters, siding, window trim or even your fascia boards. Complementing the accents of these parts of the house can make the exterior of your home look well designed. You can also match the same colour for your soffits with that of your colour siding and opt for a different colour for your gutters and fascia. A complete contrast of colours can draw attention to the lines of your home so the exterior design will look more defined.  Exterior Soffit Lighting Many people also consider the benefits of staining. If you have used high quality wood for the soffit board, you might feel bad about hiding the natural lines and curves of the wood with paint. A sound option would be to stain it. You can still keep the grainy texture of the wood but still make the wood pop out. The only downside to this is that it does not match with the rest of your colour scheme unless you are really going for the natural wood look. When painting, it is important to take into account the amount of lighting the soffits will get. Because of the UV rays it is exposed to on a daily basis, the colour will fade away fast. You might want to opt for something darker. There are many benefits of adding colour to your soffit. I highly recommend this project as it really boosts the all over elegance of a house. If you think the soffit board is not noticeable, think again. Many people actually appreciate a home with every nook and cranny properly painted and designed. You can make your home a lot more pleasing to your guests this way if you have inviting fascia boards colours too. The post Exterior Soffit Lighting appeared first on Design And Landscaping Ideas. |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2015 09:58 PM PDT Loft Design Ideas Based on Sustainble Development ConceptThe current world problems that become attention from whole country in the world is global warming. Indication of global warming is increasing temperatures and the air become hot. Global warming causes climate change and extreme weather change. Global warming could lead to significant changes in physical and biological systems, such as an increase in the intensity of tropical storms, changes in precipitation patterns, sea water salinity, wind patterns change, the change of reproduction of animals and plants, species distribution and population size, frequency of pests and disease outbreaks. Effects of global warming are most influential to crop production such as droughts, rainfall is uncertain, and increased temperatures. Drop in rainfall due to climate variability and change in seasonal temperatures are cause of decrease in the harvest.  loft-designs-ideas Global warming is caused by the amount of carbon dioxide that too much in the Earth’s atmosphere so that the sunlight earth does not get bounced out of the Earth’s atmosphere. As a result the hot sun doesn’t get out and trapped inside the Earth. Currently the government of many countries in the world have set up the community to avoid activities that cause the release of carbon dioxide in the air. For example, reduce the use of air conditioners (AC), reduce the use of motor vehicles, and ban on cutting down trees in the forest. The influence of global warming in public life is a huge because global warming have changed production patterns and consumption patterns of community. If the behavior of the community are not set, the impact of global warming will be getting worse. Environmental friendly products more demand by consumers, especially in developed countries. Therefore, many manufacturers change their production output into eco-friendly products. World construction also experienced a change in building. After the government imposed a sustainable development concept, the architect and contractor began to innovate to create buildings that follow the rules of sustainable development such as energy efficient, have a lot of ventilation and have a lot of plants so that it appears green. The Government recommends that people must plant many trees around their house. Because the tree serves as a shock absorber and neutralising carbon dioxide. Building that implements the concept of sustainable development is commonly called as green building. The main characteristics of green building is having a lot of plants and trees which were planted around the house. However, land in urban areas is very limited so that the trees and plants are planted on the top floor or in the loft space. In developed countries such as Japan, Netherlands and France, plentiful parks in the roof or loft space. In addition to creating the atmosphere become cooler, park in the loft space can prevent an occupant from a sense of heat. The loft design ideas based on sustainble development concept was later emulated by many countries. It turns out the limitations of land is not a reason for you to not plant trees because loft space can be turned into the park. For those of you who have the loft loft space that used rarely, modify your loft space into a beautiful garden. When making a garden in the loft space, you should still pay attention to the construction of the building of your home. If your home was designed like a regular building, then please do not plant trees and plants by laying the ground directly above the loft floor. Because the plant roots are able to penetrating the loft floor so that your space under the loft space will be wet when rain. Use a pot or container as a medium for planting crops. Conversely, if your home is especially designed to able to withstand pressure from plant roots, then you can plant the crops by laying the ground directly on the loft floor.  loft-conversion-design-ideas  pigeon-loft-design-ideas  loft-staircase-design-ideas  contemporary-loft-design-ideas The loft design ideas based on sustainble development concept is an amazing innovation from the world of architecture. Park above the loft space provides many benefits for the residents of the home or building. First, protect your home from the scorching rays of the sun. Second, create an atmosphere of buildings become cool so it does not need to use AC. third, by having the park above the loft means you have a vacuum natural carbon dioxide so that you have a role in reducing the impact of global warming. Fourth, the house appears more beautiful by the presence of the Park in the loft. Fifth, the park above the loft is a pleasant place to relax with the family.
