glassed hydroboxes

The material for the manufacture of showers is tempered glass. The role of the side walls of the structure is played by the surfaces of the room itself. Surfaces are separated by moisture resistant materials (most often ceramic tiles). At the same time, the joints of glass doors and walls are carefully sealed. For these reasons, water does not enter the room, which saves the owner from cleaning after each shower.

This version of the shower, which is called open, has a lot of advantages over closed booths - hydroboxes. The main disadvantage of closed hydroboxes is the presence of a plastic pallet, which has never been durable and “steals” usable space. If he crack, and this happens with enviable regularity, then it will be very difficult and expensive to find a replacement. In addition, the side walls in the hydroboxes are mainly made of plastic. Plastic walls are very dirty, lubricating the impression of the bathroom as a whole. In addition, they, like the pallet, often emit an unpleasant odor. This is especially pronounced in contact with hot water.

Open showers can be divided into small, low, high and corner showers. This is also a serious advantage that allows you to choose a truly optimal option.

Aluminum windows - beautiful and practical

The aluminum profile for windows is the most advanced material widely used for glazing not only windows, but also other facade elements: balconies, loggias and so on. Such a move in architecture has a lot of advantages over conventional windows. For glazing of various designs, “cold” or “warm” aluminum is used. Aluminum window systems - the best solution for residential buildings, cottages, office, retail and other commercial buildings.
Accordingly, it is very difficult for an inexperienced buyer to make the right choice, because without the proper knowledge in this area it is difficult to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the products offered, and whether it is suitable for your specific purposes. However, there is an exception. There are designs that really can be called a universal solution. And these are aluminum doors.

Glass loft partitions for the shower retain the effect of open space

Glass loft partitions for the shower retain the effect of open space!
The main difference between glass structures and deaf analogues is that they do not deprive the room of volume, but at the same time create the effect of full zoning. Loft shower partitions fit seamlessly and harmoniously into interior design. They are made of a thin profile that does not visually make the structure heavier, on the contrary - it creates a feeling of airiness. In addition, this installation facilitates the penetration of natural light into the bathroom. Therefore, shower partitions are installed in rooms with small windows or no windows at all. Due to the ability of glass to reflect light well, the room becomes brighter even with minimal lighting.

Insane glass building

And we again go to China, this time to the city of Shenzhen. There, in 2013, the construction of the main office of the city stock exchange was completed under the project of the international architectural company OMA. This is a skyscraper with 46 floors and a height of 254 meters.

But its main feature is a three-story platform, located at an altitude of 36 meters above ground level, its windows are contrastingly different from the grid of identical windows of the main tower. The platform area is 15,000 square meters. m., on its roof, is a whole park! Thanks to its unusual design, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange building is jokingly called the "miniskirt."

Shenzhen Stock Exchange Building China
The windows “deeply hidden” behind the mesh of the facade protect the rooms from overheating and at the same time pass the necessary sunlight, thereby reducing energy consumption. The appearance of the skyscraper changes from glossy to matte with changing weather conditions and this contributes to a positive perception of the panorama of the city as a whole.

Judging by these amazing achievements in the field of architecture, which changed the horizon of 2013, 2014 also promises to be a very interesting year for the construction industry. We will be glad to introduce you to other interesting news.

Triplex - backstory

Triplex - backstory
Glass is a unique building material: it is completely waterproof, its resistance to compression is several times higher than that of steel, it serves for a long time without wearing out and without losing its qualities. And the most valuable property of glass is its transparency. But there are qualities that limit the scope of this material - the fragility of glass and sharp, large fragments formed during its destruction. It was necessary to solve the questions: -How to make glass safe for humans and more durable? -How to diversify the properties of glass depending on the needs of a particular building and design?

Triplex - backstory

The origin of triplex
It helped to give answers to these questions, as is often the case, an accident. In 1903, an accident occurred in the laboratory of the French chemist Edward Benedict. Assessing the damage done, the chemist noticed that one of his glass flasks, with the remains of cellulose nitrate on the walls during the fall, crashed, but did not fall apart. Then Benedict developed the first technology for the production of fiberglass composite and in 1910 patented it. Such glasses were planned to be installed in car windows to reduce injuries in traffic accidents. This was not immediately accepted by automobile companies, but laminated glass is already being widely used in gas mask eyepieces during the First World War. Thus began the gradual introduction of a

No hacking! Protected Glass Sliding Partitions

No hacking! Protected Glass Sliding Partitions

Sliding glass partitions are aesthetically pleasing, they give a panoramic view and bring extra light to the room, go to the backyard of private houses or are shop windows. However, the security risks of such partitions are obvious. Larger glass is more vulnerable to destruction, it provides an easy entry point for intruders. Protected glass sliding partitions

No hacking! Protected Glass Sliding Partitions

In addition, glass sliding partitions can be removed directly from the guide rails and removed if they are not installed and secured properly. The latches on most of these partitions are also not as effective as traditional bolts.

There are various tools to reduce the risk of hacking.

Anti-vandal film
Glues on the inside of the partition and protects it from destruction for 10-30 minutes. The use of such a film increases the construction cost by 20 percent, but a professional thief will not break glass and lose time, as this will attract extra attention.

In addition, the anti-vandal film provides sound insulation, strength, heat conservation, shatterproof, one-way visibility, bullet resistance (when using multiple layers of coatings), UV protection.

Dowel rod
This is a round metal stick that is inserted into the rail of the glass panel and prevents it from slipping. If the thief opens the latch on the sliding partition, he still cannot move it, since the dowel rod keeps the partition closed from the inside.

And the hotel appeared in 1989. Then, in Yukkasjärvi, regular courses on the manufacture of ice sculptures were held. They built a snow shelter to store art objects, but housing was not enough for all trainees. Then they decided to give them sleeping bags, told how to avoid frostbite, and placed them in a snowy house. Suddenly, I really liked this experience. Since then, every winter a hotel is built here. Huge walls and arches of steel are erected, they are covered with snow, which becomes icy rooms and corridors. Ice is cut from a frozen river near the town and proceed to the design of the interior and rooms. Then, designers, architects, and artists come, among them competition is held and the best become the creators of a new miracle.

You can also go on reindeer sledding to the tundra or the coast of the Arctic Ocean, dine in the Lapland plague, admire the Northern Lights, get acquainted with the life of the local Sami people, go in for ice fishing and much more.

You cannot come to the ice hotel twice. At the end of April, he gradually loses its shape and returns to the river with meltwater. But next year he will get his new look, which is completely different from the previous one.
