Originally from Los Angeles, the 39-year-old designer, now based in San Francisco, prides himself on creating living spaces that reflect his clients’ personalities, preferences and experiences.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">In this article, we will give you practical advice as well as the way of thinking of an interior designer.</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Without further ado, here are the 10 best tips for successful <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/"><strong>interior decoration</strong></a></span> below . Whether you’re looking to furnish a new home, update your kitchen or simply get inspired to refresh your decor, here are her top ten tips for ‘ fining up your decor ‘.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) Determine the style of your interior decoration</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Another way to help you determine your style is to think of keywords that define how you want to feel in a space. Traditional, formal, elegant? Playful, humorous, welcoming? Monochromatic, refined, modern? These kinds of questions will suggest different possibilities for your interior decoration.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Take note of the design inspirations that you may encounter in your daily life. I often use them as a starting point with my clients when helping them design their dream interior</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To do this, I take them to places that they have enjoyed in the past and where they have felt emotions. Remember a hotel or restaurant you stayed in that you particularly liked. Maybe it was a minimal interior from your trip to Japan or a clubby bar in New York, furnished with worn leather chairs.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) Identify what you don’t like in terms of interior decoration</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">. By bringing antipathies into the equation, we can eliminate some things and restrict others. For example, a large print may remind you of something from your childhood that you don’t want to see in your own space. Or, a chair with a winged back can bring back unpleasant school memories.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Likewise, a certain color may evoke feelings of a past trend that you don’t want to repeat. These memories and reactions are very personal and individual, but they also define our tastes.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3) Space planning for your decoration</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Spatial planning, which impacts scale, is essential. People often use furniture that is too big or too small for a space. I like to blame a certain retail company for the large-scale furniture that saturates interiors today.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Build around the furniture you actually have space for, always think about balance. For larger rooms, consider establishing areas for different activities : a seating area conducive to conversation; another corner for watching television; a workspace with a desk or table for projects or games. If you can, we recommend using a miniature house to visualize the space of the rooms.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As much as I like symmetry, you can make everything look too artificial when you make everything symmetrical.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4) Painting at the heart of interior decoration</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">A good choice of paint helps harmoniously connect spaces. Consider the house as a whole. You risk creating disjointed pieces if you paint one piece at a time. Also consider how colors affect our mood.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Certain colors make people happy, calm or even agitated. I have been known to paint interior doors a stark black to contrast with stark white walls.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5) Mix high and low prices, for a successful interior design</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">. Consider an “unknown” artist or designer and buy based on fit, comfort, and how the art or furniture works for you and your needs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Don’t be afraid to mix high prices and low prices. The opposite can be said by splurging on something you really love and will keep for several years.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">6) Start from the base of the decoration</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Designing can be overwhelming, to do this we need to know where exactly to start. For any room, I generally suggest starting at the bottom: Decide on flooring. It doesn’t matter whether you want or have parquet, rug, tile, stone or carpet. It is by thinking first about your floor that you will determine how the other furniture in different rooms will be arranged in the space.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You will have more flexibility with a floor mat, dozens or even hundreds of possibilities are available to you. This is where you have the most options and you can start decorating the rooms. It’s easier to make your flooring decision and then install it afterwards</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So an assessment via a plan can be a good idea . Certain mobile applications such as Kozikaza will help you make plans worthy of the greatest designers.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7) Decorate your interior with plants</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you want your interior design to stand out, decorate your interior with large plants. Arrange a few large plants in the hallway or place them in your living room.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/top-10-tips-for-successful-interior-decoration/" target="_blank">Top 10 Tips for Successful Interior Decoration</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/top-10-tips-for-successful-interior-decoration/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Minimalist bathroom: more order in the bathroom</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/minimalist-bathroom-more-order-in-the-bathroom/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/minimalist-bathroom-more-order-in-the-bathroom/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 16 Nov 2024 09:57:28 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bathroom]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=172</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>8 ViewsThe architect and designer Ludwig Mies van der Rohe famously adopted a phrase that describes his way of constructing buildings: “Less is more”.

This motto alone sums up the principle of minimalism. Today, minimalism is a popular design method that suits both large and <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/"><strong>small bathrooms</strong></a></span>. We can show you the ins and outs of a minimalist individual bathroom design.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Minimalism is about focusing on the essentials. Therefore, minimalist bathrooms are simple and rely on functional elements, such as furniture with plenty of storage space.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Minimalism in the bathroom does not mean that you have to completely abandon decorative aspects. As pointed out byKinfolk magazine, specializing in the slow arts of living,Rather, simplicity at home is the result of intelligent design.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">What do i really need in the bathroom?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Since the bathroom is often the smallest room in the house, a minimalist design can be the ideal solution.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The basic elements are often sufficient: a sink with tap, a base unit with a towel rack or a hook, a mirror cabinet for more storage space, a toilet and ashower or bathtub. If there is space, additional bathroom furniture (such as a tall cabinet) can also serve as storage.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">What are the advantages of a minimalist bathroom?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">First of all, <strong>minimalist bathrooms</strong> are practical and easy to clean. Going to the essential means avoiding dust nests and improving access for cleaning. A wall-mounted toilet, for example, makes cleaning the floor easier.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By focusing only on the essential and functional elements, you have more storage space. This keeps the bathroom tidy and simplifies daily tasks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, a simple bathroom is also a perfect place of relaxation and refuge, providing a haven of peace for the body and mind. It’s no wonder that interior design styles such as Japandi, Wabi Sabi and Scandi are so popular, as they emphasize harmony, natural surroundings and minimalist appearance.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip 1: choose a simple and functional bathroom layout</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">A functional bathroom layout is the first step towards a minimalist bathroom. Choose furniture that is timeless, durable and has additional functions. Drawers without a siphon cutout provide additional space, for example. To ensure that bathroom furniture retains its shine for a long time despite the</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mirrored cabinets are available with useful additional features, such as integrated lighting, power outlets, adjustable shelves, magnifying mirrors and storage boxes for inside the door.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For small bathrooms without natural light, a simple idea from interior designers is to install a large mirror with integrated lighting above the sink to give the impression of a larger space. This is an inexpensive way to upgrade your bathroom.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip 2: use simple colors</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">While bright colors have a stimulating effect, soft, subtle tones create a feeling of calm. Uniform color combinations from shades of the same color are also an interesting option.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Linen, jute or wool textiles and a few selected accessories such as terracotta pots or bamboo baskets give the bathroom a warm atmosphere. Baskets are also a convenient way to store towels, toilet paper or soap.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t like the color of your tiles but a renovation is too complex, tile stickers are an inexpensive option. The self-adhesive film also works in damp rooms and can be easily removed or replaced.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip 3: keep the bathroom clean</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Under-cabinet: Placing boxes in drawers is a good way to obtain a clear under-cabinet. This means that objects used on a daily basis are tidy and easy to access. Some sinks are equipped with space-saving siphons or, even better, have the siphon installed in the surface-mounted partition. This allows drawers to be designed without siphon cutouts, thus creating additional storage space.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mirrored cabinet: Using a mirrored cabinet instead of a mirror provides additional storage space for everyday items. Mirror cabinets installed in the surface-mounted partition take up less space.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Shower: Nook storage boxes are available for the shower and are installed in the surface-mounted partition. This creates an additional recessed drop-off area. Thanks to the mirrored sliding door, shampoo, razors and other objects are not visible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, reducing the number of personal effects also allows them to be stored better. Why not follow the example of Japanese expert Marie Kondo and try decluttering your bathroom? If you have trouble letting go of certain things, her famous KonMari method may be helpful. It involves getting rid of things that don’t (or no longer) bring you joy. Marie Kondo also gives plenty of advice on the best way to store items.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The wardrobemirrored Geberit ONEcan be mounted in the wall, giving the impression of a larger bathroom. The integrated ComfortLight lighting concept offers different lighting atmospheres depending on the time of day and ensures ambient lighting.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/minimalist-bathroom-more-order-in-the-bathroom/" target="_blank">Minimalist bathroom: more order in the bathroom</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/minimalist-bathroom-more-order-in-the-bathroom/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Your Kitchen Countertop Materials</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-choosing-your-kitchen-countertop-materials/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-choosing-your-kitchen-countertop-materials/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 22 Oct 2024 09:48:36 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Kitchen]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=169</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>7 ViewsHow to differentiate between types of solid countertops?

Here is a summary of each that will help you make a wise choice for your current project.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Whether for a kitchen or a bathroom, the counter covering must be carefully selected according to its use.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">As there are so many options, don’t hesitate to ask your designer for advice.</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Quartz countertop</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"> It is manufactured in a factory, which allows you to control and create the different colors and textures.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For example, quartz resists acidic products such as lemon, vinegar and wine well. When it comes to marks, scratches or scrapes, quartz is very resistant to them. And since the quartz countertop is easy to maintain, you will simply need a neutral soap and water to clean it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It offers a very large choice of colors <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Choosing Your Kitchen Countertop</strong></span></a> and textures that will allow you to make the perfect choice for your project! The only downside is that it does not tolerate excessive heat; You will therefore need to make sure to place the pots on a trivet which will insulate the quartz countertop from the heat.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Marble countertop</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"> It is comparable to marble in terms of aesthetics but it has qualities similar to those of granite in terms of its resistance.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is resistant to the various impacts of everyday life and has good durability. You will stand out with a unique quartzite countertop installed in your beautiful kitchen!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Stainless steel counter</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The stainless steel countertop offers a completely different look from standard kitchens because it tends more towards the “restaurant” kitchen style. Allowing you to place hot dishes on it without fear of damaging it, it is also antibacterial. However, you should not be afraid of scratches, because just like the bottom of a sink, your stainless steel countertop will scratch over time.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Glass counter</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">To capture maximum light and add a touch of originality, the glass counter is the perfect option! And what’s more, it can be found in a multitude of colors, textures and thicknesses. On the other hand, the glass counter is a little more expensive, which is why we recommend it for smaller spaces such as a child’s bathroom or a bar area.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Dekton counter</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Dekton is an ultra-compact material composed of quartz, glass and porcelain which has no porosity. This material is extremely resistant to heat, freezing and thawing, abrasion, scratches and stains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A Dekton countertop will be easy to maintain, simple to clean and will not need any sealant. It is available in several colors and thicknesses and can be installed in all types of residential and commercial surfaces. You will have peace of mind thanks to the beautiful features of the Dekton!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Made from resin, Corian is also a particularly versatile material. In fact, it can be thermoformed so that it adapts to its environment and it will be strong enough to be part of the composition of an outdoor kitchen. And as it is available in a large number of colors, thicknesses and finishes; there is certainly something for everyone!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Granite countertop</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Granite is a hard and durable natural stone that can come from different countries. Depending on what nature has in store for us and where it comes from, each slice of granite is one of a kind.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Unlike quartz, granite countertops will resist heat as well as frost. It can therefore be used both inside the house and outside, such as for outdoor kitchens or even as a floor covering. Since granite is a porous stone, it requires a sealer to protect the countertop from possible stains and to help it maintain its beauty. You’ll easily find the perfect stone that will match your cabinets beautifully!</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-choosing-your-kitchen-countertop-materials/" target="_blank">The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Your Kitchen Countertop Materials</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-choosing-your-kitchen-countertop-materials/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Living room furniture in a modern style</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/living-room-furniture-in-a-modern-style/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/living-room-furniture-in-a-modern-style/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 05 Oct 2024 09:43:26 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Furniture]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=164</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>8 ViewsModern style is capable of combining design and functionality, because the practicality of spaces must accompany aesthetic beauty.

The Gogan Moroso seats are soft and characterized by a slightly inward inclined position. This structure allows the sofa to guarantee extreme comfort.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Modern living rooms in yellow</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Yellow is a very bright and positive color, capable of making the living room of the house enveloping, warm and comfortable. Yellow furniture, like sofas and armchairs, manages to give a touch of originality and design to the space.

To go further, we will explore in this article:</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">The ideal decorative elements for a modern touch in your living room</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Why are white, gray and black the perfect colors for a modern living room?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">A modern living room often embraces simple, neutral colors like white, gray and black. You will also quickly understand that for a modern black and white gray living room decoration, this will be the best option for you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With calming neutral black and white <strong>living room decor</strong>, elegance and sophistication are in the spotlight. In particular, they allow you to give a feeling of refinement in a sober and minimalist style. Being able to serve as a basis for different decoration styles, these colors are versatile.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another advantage, gray, white and black are known to be easy to maintain. Which turns out to be quite practical for a living room like the living room. In any case, you will appreciate the contrast that these colors offer, with white which brings luminosity, black which highlights lines, shapes or curves and gray which reinforces depth.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How to combine them to create a modern atmosphere in your living room?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">To create an elegant black and white living room atmosphere , try to find the right balance between these colors. The ideal is to break the monotony by playing with textures or materials, or by adding notes of bright colors with certain accessories to energize the space.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Black helps to add depth if, for example, you decide to paint a section of wall, the floor or the ceiling in this color. You can also draw geometric figures with these colors , especially with shades of gray which can make your living room even more elegant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Among the common mistakes when using these tones in a living room is this tendency to settle for these neutral colors to decorate the house. However, you should add more colorful elements to prevent your room from appearing bland or lifeless. The idea will be to bring visual variety to the whole without spoiling the harmony of the colors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another mistake would be to neglect comfort. These colors are effectively associated with a refined or minimalist style. However, this won’t stop you from sacrificing your comfort. You can create a more welcoming atmosphere with soft sofas, rugs or cushions.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"> Decorative elements to use for the modern touch</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In a black, white and gray decoration, each element has its importance to make the space more stylish.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This color combination is rather practical if you like imposing furniture for your living room. A comfortable black and white gray living room sofa can quickly become the centerpiece of your living room. Focus on models with a modern design and combine noble materials such as leather for a chic gray black and white living room armchair or glass and metal for a refined black and white living room coffee table .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To complete your decor in a functional and aesthetic way, you could add practical black and white gray living room shelves . A functional black and white gray living room bookcase made of wood can also be installed in your living room. Adapt it to the space available by opting for a model with a sliding opening, for example.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/create-a-modern-living-room-decor-with-black-white-and-gray/" target="_blank">Create a modern living room decor with black, white and gray</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/create-a-modern-living-room-decor-with-black-white-and-gray/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to find an honest plumber? 12 tips to follow</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-find-an-honest-plumber-12-tips-to-follow/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-find-an-honest-plumber-12-tips-to-follow/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Sep 2024 08:26:13 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Plumbing]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=156</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>5 ViewsClogged toilets, leaking shower, siphon to replace, etc. There are many reasons why you might want to call a plumbing company.

Would you like to refer to the yellow pages for a list of plumbers? Be careful, the best craftsman is not necessarily the closest to you!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When looking for a plumber, how can you be sure you are dealing with a good professional? How to choose an honest and inexpensive plumber?</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Follow our anti-scam recommendations!</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1. It was recommended to you</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Relying on word of mouth, following the recommendation of a person who has already used a specific professional , and who is satisfied with their work, is an excellent avenue. However, be careful if they are a large corporation and not an individual repairer, as they may change staff and policies.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2. It is part of a reliable network</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Some<span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/"><strong> plumbers</strong></a></span> are part of an approved network , such as the Qualibat organization or the UMGCCP , which guarantees their reliability. To do this, the approved plumber must absolutely respect a strict line of conduct, demonstrating rigor, respect and honesty. Do not hesitate to check on the website of the announced network if the company is really part of it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also, platforms for connecting individuals and plumbing professionals, like MesDépanneurs.fr, ensure the seriousness of their partners.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To join the MesDépanneurs.fr network, professionals undergo an in-depth recruitment process and must commit to always respecting our Quality Charter .</p><h3><strong>3. It is approved by a recognized brand</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If any of your plumbing equipment breaks down, find out its brand, which is almost always indicated on the device, and contact the latter’s customer service . Major plumbing brands generally have approved repairers and installers .</p><h3><strong>4. He respects his commitments</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">When you first make contact, the professional must be able, over the telephone, to give you an idea of the cost of his intervention for a simple operation. Then, after a visit, he must commit by sending you a quote . Also, the indicated response time must be respected . In the event of a delay, a good repairer will contact you to notify you.</p><h3><strong>5. He does not immediately propose to “change everything”</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you have little knowledge of plumbing, or if your problem is particularly technical, some stakeholders can easily take advantage of it. A serious plumber must take the time to analyze the problem and look for the best solution, which is not necessarily the most expensive.</p><h3><strong>6. He charges reasonable prices</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The total invoice amount must include travel expenses, labor and material costs . A good professional knows the cost of his equipment and can therefore accurately assess the price of replacing equipment . To check if this weighs heavily on your quote (and potential invoice), ask the service provider the price difference if you opt for another type of equipment or another brand.</p><h3><strong>7. It has the required equipment</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">A good plumber should arrive at your home with all the necessary tools and should have the most common spare parts in his vehicle. If the repair proves complex and requires ordering specific parts, he should be able to install a temporary replacement system for you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also, if it is an emergency repair, which requires more extensive intervention, take the time to have several quotes drawn up .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, whatever the scale of the intervention, the plumber must preserve the aesthetics of your equipment , by using the appropriate tools and putting in place the necessary coverings.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">8. He is ready to return the defective equipment to you</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In case of doubt, it is always wiser to recover the allegedly defective parts; you may have to have them assessed if you have a dispute with the plumber who came to your home.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-find-an-honest-plumber-12-tips-to-follow/" target="_blank">How to find an honest plumber? 12 tips to follow</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-find-an-honest-plumber-12-tips-to-follow/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>10 Tips to Protect the Roof of Your Home</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/10-tips-to-protect-the-roof-of-your-home/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/10-tips-to-protect-the-roof-of-your-home/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Aug 2024 08:06:10 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Roofing]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=147</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>7 ViewsMost people don’t often think about their roof until they need to replace it, either because of its age or because it is damaged.

And when the time comes, they usually opt for traditional asphalt shingles. However, there have been many changes over the years. There are now more resilient options that fit into the philosophy of “building back better,” which is increasingly important due to more severe weather events.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This year alone, Canadians have faced a wide range of severe weather events: from snowstorms to drought, wildfires , floods, hail , high winds and tornadoes .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The climate is changing rapidly, so we need to consider “building back better” using more resilient materials. From an industry perspective, it’s about being proactive in the face of extreme weather events to reduce the possibility of loss from natural hazards.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Here are some things to consider to ensure your roof does its job and protects your home:</h2><h3>1. Understand the protection your roof provides</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The roof is the part of your home most <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/">Roof of Your Home</a></strong></span> exposed to damage from severe weather events, such as heavy rain, high winds and hail. Leaks can cause further damage to the interior of the home, which may require you to repaint, replace drywall, or purchase new furniture.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For this reason, it is important to consider your options when deciding to upgrade your roof, whether you need to rebuild a damaged roof or are building a new home.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2. Weigh cost versus quality</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Traditional fiberglass-reinforced asphalt shingles are a less expensive option, but their lifespan is 20 years or less. Wind and rain can loosen the granules covering shingles, and intense heat or significant temperature fluctuations, which are common in Canada, can cause asphalt shingles to buckle, making them more susceptible to failure.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are unsure of the cost-benefit ratio and which material will work best for your location, talk to a roofing professional or contractor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Asphalt is not your only option . You can also choose wood, slate, ceramic, metal, rubber or concrete, each of these materials having its own advantages and disadvantages.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Low-grade asphalt and untreated wood are the materials most vulnerable to moss, algae and mold, although treated wood shingles have a protective coating against moss and rot. There are also different types of asphalt shingles, varying in quality . For example, fiberglass reinforced asphalt shingles are fire resistant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Metal roof structures can withstand high winds and hail, and also help shed snow and prevent ice dams.Steel is actually one of the best materials for avoiding moisture issues and is UV and fire resistant. Standing seam steel roofs are made of flat panels with no exposed fasteners, which reduces leaks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They are much less likely to be damaged by extreme weather conditions. Additionally, rubber resists moss growth.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3. Meet Canadian standards for roofing materials</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Talk to a licensed roofing contractor to learn the best options for your home and area. For example, if you live on the Prairies, you might worry about hail and wildfires, while if you’re on the Atlantic coast, hurricane-force winds could be a source of concern.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4. The importance of roof classification</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The fire resistance of roofs is designated by three classes, either A, B or C. Offering the greatest protection, class A includes concrete or terracotta tiles, fiberglass-reinforced asphalt shingles and metal shingles.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The impact resistance of roofing materials is rated from 1 to 4. This rating is determined by using steel balls to simulate hail damage. Class 4 is the highest impact resistance rating.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5. Don’t let the wind blow away your roof</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you live in an area vulnerable to hurricanes or tornadoes, hurricane ties can be installed on the trusses of a new roof for added protection. This is an inexpensive solution, however, hurricane ties can only be installed on trusses at the time of roof installation and not during shingle replacement.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">6. Maintain your roof to ensure its durability</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Poor maintenance of your roof could prevent you from taking advantage of certain insurance coverage. For this reason, even if it is not time to replace your roof, it is important to maintain it, remove debris and make minor repairs so that it lasts as long as possible.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7. Keep an eye on your roof</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In the fall and spring, inspect your roof from the ground with binoculars for signs of wear and tear, such as warped or missing shingles, leaf-filled gutters or wear around the chimney.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/10-tips-to-protect-the-roof-of-your-home/" target="_blank">10 Tips to Protect the Roof of Your Home</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/10-tips-to-protect-the-roof-of-your-home/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to protect your home against the five most common types of damage</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-protect-your-home-against-the-five-most-common-types-of-damage/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-protect-your-home-against-the-five-most-common-types-of-damage/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 23 Jul 2024 07:57:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Home Improvement]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=144</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>5 ViewsDamage caused by storms, hail, heavy precipitation, thunderstorms, floods or the weight of snow represents a significant financial risk.

Storm damage</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">PREFA roofs offer excellent<a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> protection against damage</strong></span></a> caused by climatic events. The staggered installation ensures much better resistance and therefore very high stability of the roofs. The roof elements being fitted into each other and held in place on the roofing or lathing by invisible fixings, this allows PREFA roofs to withstand even the most violent winds and storms, such as those faced by some shelters. Compared to conventional roofs, PREFA roofs require almost no maintenance, because aluminum has excellent weather resistance. Would you like more information about PREFA products? Clickhere to request our free documentation.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2. Flood damage</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The force of the water undermines the land surrounding houses, it shakes the statics of buildings and can even make them uninhabitable when it manages to penetrate through doors and windows. <strong>Protection against flooding</strong> is therefore an essential subject, particularly in risky regions. In addition to insurance that covers the damage, it is also possible to protect yourself from the devastating effects of flooding by taking appropriate constructive measures. Removable aluminum devices, such as PREFA flood protection systems, prevent doors, windows, or even entire areas of property from being exposed to water. The aluminum profiles are extremely solid and perfectly resistant to breakage and corrosion. Extremely light, they can also be set up very easily and in a very short time.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3. Damage caused by hail</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">For homeowners, damage caused by hail can have very unfortunate consequences. In the worst cases, hail can cause broken tiles, cracks on glass surfaces, and even more resistant materials can be affected and damaged by unfortunate hailstone impacts. A PREFA roof with a stucco surface resists small hailstones without any problem. However, during extreme weather events, the diameter of hailstones can reach up to 60 millimeters, the size of a billiard ball. No roof is able to withstand such impacts without damage. There is nevertheless a positive note in all this since even during extreme hailstorms, it is almost unlikely that hailstones will be able to pierce a PREFA roof. And if, after a severe hailstorm, your roof has suffered impacts that damage it, please note that cosmetic damage is covered by insurance. For existing insurance contracts, it should be checked that they do not contain a disclaimer excluding coverage for cosmetic damage. For more information, we refer you to the notice published by suissetec and entitled “Tinwork and hail-resistant metal roofing”.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4. Damage caused by the weight of snow</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">It only takes 20 centimeters of snow for the load on the roof to reach several tonnes. A lightweight roof therefore constitutes an extremely appreciable advantage in regions with heavy snowfall. Did you know that a PREFA aluminum roof weighs only a fraction of the weight of a conventional roof? The frame is therefore significantly less stressed than in the case of ordinary roofs. It is therefore completely excluded that your PREFA roof could give way under the weight of snow, even during exceptional snow episodes. Furthermore, aluminum roofs are perfectly resistant to extreme temperature changes and can easily go from a snowstorm to the heat of a sunny winter day. To avoid damage caused by sliding snow on roofs, it is also possible to have PREFA snow retention systems installed by a specialist company.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5. Damage caused by lightning and power surges</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If, during a severe thunderstorm, your home is struck by lightning, it can not only cause a structural fire, but also create power surges that can cause considerable damage to electronic equipment, such as computers, telephone equipment and alarm systems. As scientific studies carried out by the independent CE-Lab testing center have shown, PREFA aluminum roofs act as a complementary element of the lightning protection system. The assembly technique used for small format Prefalz products is that of interlocking hanging. Due to its very construction, a PREFA aluminum roof can help prevent damage caused by lightning. It will be combined, where applicable, with lightning protection systems that may be required, as well as a lightning rod placed on the eaves and earthing carried out by an earth connection buried deep in the ground, all of this equipment having to be installed by a professional.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-protect-your-home-against-the-five-most-common-types-of-damage/" target="_blank">How to protect your home against the five most common types of damage</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-protect-your-home-against-the-five-most-common-types-of-damage/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>5 advantages of curtains and sheers</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/5-advantages-of-curtains-and-sheers/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/5-advantages-of-curtains-and-sheers/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 11 Jul 2024 08:15:03 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Home Improvement]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=150</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>5 ViewsA true element of interior decoration for decades, curtains and net curtains have not aged a bit, on the contrary, they are still in tune with the times, thanks to manufacturers who continually bring them up to date.

If you are hesitant about choosing <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/"><strong>curtains and sheers</strong> </a></span>for your home, don’t think that you are going to have a veillette decor, your interior will be warm, decorative and contemporary.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Curtains and sheers</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1. Curtains and sheers – 3 levels of transparency for your comfort</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The first advantage of curtains is that they are available with three types of fabric: voile, filtering and blackout. Each of these fabrics allows you to regulate the level of light and privacy in a simple way while giving style to your interior decor. So, you have three ways to protect yourself from natural light, UV rays and prying eyes. The <strong>sheer curtain</strong> is a light curtain that preserves your privacy, protecting you from prying eyes while delicately filtering sunlight. A filtering curtain on your windows lets natural light pass through in a softened way without letting the outside see through, or even a blackout curtainto darken the room and avoid reflections which can be annoying during the day. Thicker blackout curtains also have the advantage of providing a thermal barrier. Thanks to this decorative accessory, the degree of brightness and privacy required can be adjusted for each room in your house.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2. Curtains and sheers – For all rooms in the house</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Today it is possible to put curtains in every room and on every window in the house. Classic windows, small or large bay windows, curtains can be installed anywhere thanks to the wide choice of curtains. Cotton, linen, taffeta, organza, cheesecloth or even polyester fabrics, you can hang curtains and net curtains even in a bathroom. You will just need to ensure good daily ventilation in the room to evacuate humidity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In a living room or dining room, filtering curtains or sheer curtains will allow you to spend friendly and family moments in a cozy, zen and cozy atmosphere and to pleasantly enjoy the time spent with your loved ones, and take advantage of the daylight. In a kitchen, voile curtains will give you visibility to the outside while letting soft light enter the room to let you peacefully enjoy your coffee at breakfast. In a bedroom, filtering or blackout curtains, the preference will be based on the level of privacy and sunlight you want or if you have roller shutters.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3. Curtains and sheers – Tailor-made for your decoration</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Another advantage of curtains is that they are customizable. Thanks to tailor-made curtains, you can dress both small windows and large bay windows. You also have different types of curtain headers such as a gatherer braid, metal eyelets, microflex, tabs, ruflettes or tunnel pass. Each of its curtain heads will give an individual and very aesthetic elegance to your interior decoration.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, the way the curtains hang is an integral part of the style you will give to your interior decoration. Fallen clean, that is to say which stops approximately 1 or 2 cm above the ground, adapts to all interiors and facilitates floor maintenance. This solution is the most classic in a kitchen. Then, you have the low fall which stops at the ground, or the brittle fall with a length of fabric which rests on the ground (5 to 10 cm). This type of drape is more suitable for filtering or blackout fabrics. This type of drape gives character and volume to the room. It is best in a living room or bedroom.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4. Curtains and sheers – Combo tradition and modernity</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are hesitating between sheer, filtering and blackout curtains, you can easily accompany sheer curtains with filtering or blackout curtains. In broad daylight, with the curtains you have privacy, a view of the outside and impeccable clarity in your room, and in the evening, you close the filtering or blackout curtains, depending on your choice of second curtains . Be aware that the filtering curtain can allow shadows to be seen from the outside once the light is turned on, while the blackout curtain will not allow any light to pass through in either direction. Blackout curtains accompanied by voile curtains can also be a perfect combo to darken your room depending on the time of day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If your hesitation is between curtains and blinds, know that the union of the two is entirely possible. A modern combo, for an even more stylish decoration filled with personality. Roman sail blinds with filtering or blackout curtains, wooden Venetian blinds with curtains, roller blinds with blackout curtains. The number of combinations is multiple and remains a matter of taste. Your interior will be even more modern but will retain the traditional side.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5. Curtains and sheers – Atmosphere in your image</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Window dressing is the final step in interior design. You can make your windows blend in with the rest of the decoration, or on the contrary add color. Curtains and sheers are available in a wide range of colors, and you will find what you are looking for. Dressing your windows with curtains is perhaps an opportunity to add some pep to your interior, and why not add color and patterns to warm things up. Thus, the curtains which play an important role in the acoustics of the room will also be the decorative accessory which will make the room warmer and quieter.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, they can also be a separating element such as a dressing room cover, or to separate two spaces in the same room. For example to separate the living space from the sleeping area if you only have one large room.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/5-advantages-of-curtains-and-sheers/" target="_blank">5 advantages of curtains and sheers</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/5-advantages-of-curtains-and-sheers/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to choose the right kitchen cabinet manufacturer?</title> <link>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-choose-the-right-kitchen-cabinet-manufacturer/</link> <comments>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-choose-the-right-kitchen-cabinet-manufacturer/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 19 Jun 2024 08:19:05 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Kitchen]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeplumbingnewz.com/?p=153</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>7 ViewsChoosing the right professionals to complete your kitchen project is crucial, but the abundance of options can quickly overwhelm anyone not working in the kitchen design field.

You are enthusiastic about embarking on the adventure of cooking, but the question remains: how to navigate in this environment that is unfamiliar to you?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Two options are available to you, you can hire a designer to create the concept of your kitchen, or deal directly with the kitchen designer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The first option may be best if you need large renovations that will affect several rooms in the house. The designer will be able to guide you in the layout of your rooms and other choices of materials.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For any other occasion, doing business with the<span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/"> <strong>kitchen</strong> <strong>designer</strong></a></span> for the renovation or the furniture concept is a good option, because the concept is offered with the estimate. On the other hand, you will only be able to take possession of the plans when you move forward with this manufacturer. Opting for a kitchen designer can also bring a more technical and planned side to the kitchen. The best option remains the hybrid between the two where you will choose a designer for the layout of your renovation and a kitchen designer for the cabinetry concept.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Interior design plans</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The best option remains the hybrid between the two where you will choose a designer for the layout of your renovation and a kitchen designer for the cabinetry concept.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Step1: Choosing a Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The first question to ask yourself is: what kind of company do you want to work with? Often, we stop at the simple financial factor. But the process goes way beyond that! Doing research to target the right cabinetry is essential. There are thousands of cabinet manufacturers in Quebec and making a choice is certainly not always easy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ask about the stability of the company, has it been in business for a long time? Have they innovated in their construction practices and methods? Are they up to date in terms of design and storage solutions? Observe the showroom; Does it measure up to what you would want in your own home? Check the care taken in this showroom: it can be a guarantee of the result you will obtain for your project.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is also important to ensure that they are the manufacturers and not distributors of another company, which is common in the industry. A cabinet company that manufactures its own cabinets will have a closer look at the quality of the product and communication is easier to successfully complete the project.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Step 3: Work with a kitchen designer</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">A kitchen designer is a professional who works with clients to bring their vision for the kitchen to life. With an eye for detail and a gift for using space, the kitchen designer helps homeowners create the ideal place to prepare meals and gather. To succeed in this task, he must have exceptional organizational skills, as well as talent in styling and interior design, and very good knowledge of materials, which allows him to ensure that the final product fits perfectly with the existing decor of the house, while being functional. Additionally, it must keep up with current trends while considering the functionality and safety of the entire family inhabiting the space. Kitchen designers incorporate aspects such as cabinets,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You will spend a lot of time working together with the kitchen designer. This person is expressly trained to understand your needs and ensure that the result is both aesthetic and practical. Make sure you work with the right person for your needs. Look at a portfolio of their designs and choose someone you’ll enjoy working with.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A kitchen designer wears several hats, he will take note of your needs, establish a layout plan, create a realistic 3D concept and follow your project at all stages. He will be a designer, creator and project manager at the same time. If the person you meet does not meet these criteria, you will certainly encounter difficulties at one stage or another.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Presenting a developed concept is very important and if someone offers you an estimate of your project without first developing a precise concept, be wary. Would you buy a car sight unseen? Yet, many cabinet companies still operate this way.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Steps 4: Elements to validate</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">For a similar concept, you may receive several prices varying from one company to another. This is why it is important to ask the right questions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Often, we have the reflex to head towards the lowest price, wondering why the other prices are higher. What we actually need to do is reverse the question, why for a similar concept is the price lower than other estimates? There is certainly a reason that affects the final quality of the product.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, make sure you choose the company that inspires you the most confidence with the kitchen designer who understands you best. Sometimes we choose to save money, but remember that your kitchen will be with you for the next few years and will be the heart of your life. It is therefore important to make the right decision.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you have done your research when choosing cabinetry, you can establish a budget for your project with the kitchen designer and work together to respect this budget.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-choose-the-right-kitchen-cabinet-manufacturer/" target="_blank">How to choose the right kitchen cabinet manufacturer?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeplumbingnewz.com/" target="_blank">https://homeplumbingnewz.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeplumbingnewz.com/how-to-choose-the-right-kitchen-cabinet-manufacturer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
