Home lights

In 1879, Thomas Edison created the first tungsten filament lamp. It was the first commercially successful light source that used electricity. But, was replaced quickly with the invention of the fluorescent lamp. The fluorescent tube was invented in the 1930s. It was less expensive than the tungsten bulb and could last much longer. Fluorescent lights became extremely popular in the decades that followed. In the 1960s and 1970s, manufacturers began to add phosphors to the tubes to make them more efficient and change their color to white.

The technology world is full of surprises and advances and every day we are learning new and interesting things. To get a full concept of "Electrical" I have discussed Tungsten light and CFL light. Today the discussion is about LED lights.

Here we are going to know about different types of LED lights

.

Lighting is a segment in which we can understand the working of a home light.

You can compare the working of light with the concept of a bulb and it is a totally different segment. First, it was a tungsten bulb, then the CFL light and now it is the LED light.

Electronic devices are used as a source of light and are also known as a type of lighting. It is a part of electrical engineering and it is known as the branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, and application of such devices.

1. How are the lights different? 

With the rapid development of science and technology, almost all things about lighting have changed. The early Tungsten lamps and incandescent lamps have been replaced by fluorescent lamps, LED light (Light Emitting Diode), and other new energy-saving lamps. The new generation of light bulbs is more environmentally friendly and more energy-efficient. Most of them are made from special materials, such as phosphors or rare earth minerals, and are very different from the old light bulbs.

2. How is the light of the bulb very important? 

Home lights are very important for everyone. We need it every minute of our life. We are using it for a long time. If we change it to another type, it will be a very difficult thing. We are using and using it. It is not a big challenge for us. But it is a big deal for the people who are making it and the people who are making it. We are using it for a long time. The lights that we are using are not new and green. They are very old and old. They are not good for the environment. We are using them for a long time.

3. How do you get the most out of the bulb? 

When you are buying a new bulb, whether it is a Tungsten light or a CFL light, or an LED light, you are looking for different things. The first thing is of course the price. You want to get the most for your money. The second thing is how bright it will be. And then you might want to consider if it has an eco-friendly aspect. But you probably want to know if it will last as long as they say it will.

4. The light for the home, the bulb for the home For the last 100 years, the bulb has been a simple but vital part of the modern home. The bulb, first invented by Thomas Edison in 1879, has been a constant in the lives of millions of people. But the bulb is changing. The bulb has been replaced by the CFL light and now it is being replaced by the LED light. The Tungsten bulb, CFL light, and LED light are all different in many different ways. The Tungsten bulb, CFL light, and LED light all have different advantages and disadvantages.

5. What are the LED light types LED lights can be of two types: LED light bulbs and LED light bars. LED light bulbs are the ones that are being used in household lighting. These lights work by passing an electric current through a thin wire of semiconductor material called a diode. The diode emits bright light when electricity passes through it. The diode is made of a material that emits light when electricity passes through it. These lights are known as electroluminescence lighting. They are also known as cold cathode lights. These lights are available in different shapes and sizes. They are used in homes, offices, and public places. They are also used in traffic signals, directional signs, etc.

Conceal Light 

has published a variety of light, often lighting, the lamp is a necessary part of life, whether in the office or the family are used for different purposes, the role of light is indispensable, but it is often unavoidable to be placed behind the TV, the computer, the kitchen table, the lamp on the edge of the table, the lamp cover is very easy to see, if you can conceal the lamp cover, it will be better.

Push Light 

A push light in a cupboard is a simple, yet popular design that has been used for decades. A push light in a cupboard is a light that is activated by a small push plate. The plate is usually hidden under a door or cabinet. This allows the light to be activated without requiring a person to reach up and turn on the light. A push light in the cupboard is a simple design that is perfect for a small room. The light can be turned on and off from a distance. This can be helpful for people that suffer from issues with their arms or hands. This can also be helpful for people that have problems with their eyes.

3000 k and 6000 K

To someone who knows nothing about light bulbs, the term "warm white" may seem like a bit of a contradiction. After all, isn’t white light supposed to be bright and warm? How can white light be both warm and dim? The truth is, the term "warm white" has nothing to do with the temperature at which the bulb burns, but rather the color of the light it produces. Warm white light is actually closer to yellow light than it is white light.

The color temperature of a light is measured in Kelvin (K) and refers to the color appearance of the light. The color appearance of a light source is determined by the relative proportions of its output in three spectral bands: long-, medium-, and short-wave. Cool-white fluorescent lamps, for example, emit light in the following proportions

Conclusion: Changing home lighting can change your home. Intelligent lighting can reduce your energy bill and make your home safer and more peaceful.

Plywood Veneer and Laminate

What is Plywood?

Ply is the layers of the wooden sheet of 1 to 2  which is compressed and made of thick plywood.

Plywood is the common name for panels made from thin layers or "plies" of wood, glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another. The glue joins the layers together to form a composite material. There are two basic types of plywood. The most common is referred to as "face-grain" plywood. Face-grain veneers are laid with their face grain (the pretty side) out, and the core veneers are laid with their face grain going in the same direction. The other type of plywood is called "veneer-core" plywood. Veneer-core is made from several layers of the same species of wood. The layers are stacked with their face grain going in the same direction, but their core grain going in opposite directions. This gives a stronger panel since the grain of each layer is 90 degrees to the adjacent layers.

Plywood is a manufactured panel made of thin layers of wood (or other materials) glued together at right angles to form a larger, stronger sheet. It's used as an alternative to solid wood and can be sanded, cut, drilled, and painted more easily. Plywood is used in construction and in furniture. Most plywood is used in construction, where it is a major component of manufactured buildings (prefabricated houses or apartment buildings) and in exterior and interior sub-floors, stairs, and walls.

How plywood is made?

The timber is scrubbed, and then a sheet of 1 to 2 mm is taken out by peeling timber before the peeling timer is also dipped into the hot water of 100-degree C.  These sheets are trimmed and made into the required size. Once the sizing is done, different coats with glue are laid and kept on each other. these sheets are then taken to a press machine. After pressing plywood is ready for its brand marking and dispatch.

In the world of furniture-making, most people are familiar with solid wood. Solid wood is used in the construction of chairs, tables, cabinets, and other furniture pieces. But solid wood doesn’t always offer the best solution to the overall aesthetic of a piece. That’s because solid wood is often bulky, heavy, and sometimes features knots, which can make it difficult to work with. So what is a veneer? A veneer is a thin slice of wood applied to a substrate and used as an aesthetic material. A veneer is often used to give furniture pieces a more elegant appearance, but it can also be used for structural purposes. A veneer can be applied to solid wood, particle board, and plywood.

 House in 2050

HOUSE IN 2050

As per the cover image you can see it is actually a honey bee house, in which a person is sleeping. Yes in 2050 there will be so lesser space that people will have to leave the luxury lifestyle and much more open space. As you can see the is a huge population growth everywhere open available land is getting lesser and lesser. In Japan, they have already started the concept of a capsule room, in which a person can take a rest ( lying position ) . and again go for walk or garden in free time. At that time there will be no common room like the hall or living area.

***

***

The concept of watching tv, playing video games, or reading newspapers will be gone. it will be taken up by smarter phones and tablets. The enjoying will be considered in two-part, ie private - sole or with the group. We have already started walking on these steps, you will agree with me that nowadays lesser people read newspapers on hard paper, watch tv in the hall while family all these things we do privately on our private phone or room tv.

Japan Capsule rooms

All the rules of construction and room will be taken under the government and in 2050 it will be huge taxation for big houses or properties. The concept of a honey bee house will be the most efficient way to stay.

I still remember sitting with the whole family and having breakfast and dinner together, when there is an electrical shutdown, we use to sit outside with all our relatives and neighbor. But now we hardly have time to visit our relatives or neighbour. we are getting compacting in every area, and therefore in the future lesser space will be the concept of living.

Will living in a compact manner will save many things, we will need less light as the area will will-less, we will need less cooling, the air purifier will be a necessity at that time, although pollution will be lesser in 2050 by the disease will increase rapidly.

Heavy construction material will be lesser and lighter with high strength material will be considered, We will see new inventions in household materials.  Many building works will be converted automatically. Hope you like this article. Please do comment your views

In the next 45 years, the population of the earth will reach 10 billion people. So, the world will become more crowded, especially the cities. As a result, the house will be smaller. And the house will be more expensive than before. But, there are some new ways to build a house. One of them is the 'capsule area'. A capsule area is an area where people live in a small room. People can move their rooms easily. We can call capsule hotel.

In 2050, the house will be much smaller than it is today. The place for the house will be less. Today, people like to live in a big house with a big backyard. But in 2050, people will like to live in a small houses and the backyard will be used as a place of relaxation. If the house is smaller, the house will be more comfortable. People will like to live in a capsule area. Honeybees live in a big groups. Each honeybee has a small house and a small backyard. The honeybees live in a big group. It is comfortable for them.

In the near future, many Chinese will have to live in a small spaces. The land in China is limited, but many people continue to move to the cities to find a better life. The reason that these people move is that they want a higher salary and a better job. In order to achieve this goal, many people are willing to sacrifice their space for a more promising future. In the future, more and more people will find it difficult to find a place to build a house, so they will need to build their houses in a capsule area. In this area, it is impossible to spend too much space. The houses in this area are all built to a standard size, and the materials used for the houses are also limited. This is because the land for the house will be less in 2050. In addition, the people who live in this capsule area will not be allowed to plant trees in the area.

Although most of us dream of a large and spacious master suite, the actuality of most homes and apartments is a small room that is used for sleeping and perhaps a little bit of tv watching and nothing else. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t make your small room into a big, bold, and beautiful showpiece.

The increasing population of urban areas has led to a rise in the demand for apartments. People are opting for apartments as it is convenient and cost-effective. Apartment complexes have become a new norm. We all know that there will be a lot of people living in an apartment and they will have to share the common areas. Whether it is the kitchen, the balcony, or the bathroom, there are several things that need to be taken care of when it comes to sharing. For example, most people will have to share the same kitchen and bathroom. When it comes to the size of the kitchen and bathroom, you have to be smart about it. If the kitchen and bathroom are too small, there will be a lot of problems.

In the fifty years that followed the second world war, the world changed. The world population grew from 2.5 billion to 6 billion. The world’s economy has doubled and the world’s middle class is expected to double again by 2050. The countries of the world have become increasingly interconnected and interdependent, tied together by advances in communications, transportation, and trade. The world is changing and that change is reflected in the housing market.

it is expected that the house rent in 2050 will be prepaid and just for sleeping are. it will be a new way to rent a house. in 2050, most of the people in the world will live in flats, and they will be used to living in flats. most of the people will live in the flats, and they will be used to living in flats.

House planning

We have covered in this top the planning of the House, What should be a minimum requirement of room size, and how to select the room size. were to place windows and where to place door. We will also tell you how to save place for your wardrobe and what is the concept of the open kitchen. 

***

Today I will tell you the REHAN formula. how to decide room size, for that you need to calculate the time to stay in which room in 24 hours ( normal course doing - some work  - not sleeping  ), let say you stay for 5 hours in Living hall and 3 hours in bedroom and 1 hour outside ( balcony ). and 3 hours in the kitchen. And overall you stay at home ( SIH) = 12 hours,  and you have a 1000 sqft construction area.

1) Living Hall area   = (5/12 x 100 )% X 1000 = 416 sqft

2) Bed rooms Area  = (3/12 x 100) % X 1000 = 250 sqqft

3)  Balcony Area = (1/12 x 100 ) % x 1000 = 84 sqft 

4) Kitchen Area = (3/12 x 100) % x 1000  = 250 sqft

This is an example, of how to finalize the room size.

While planning a window, we have to keep in mind: the view from the window, light from the window, and wind from that window. If you follow these things it will give proper utilization of the window and it will be very useful. Along with that one thing that is important is furniture layout, which can be changed accordingly.

In a room, there should be always a corner entry to utilize the maximum area.  The door has to be sufficiently big as it will be very useful when you have to enter or exit some big material like bed or sofa, etc. Again furniture placement can we rearrange with this.

A walk-in wardrobe is in trend nowadays where there is a room with a sliding or hinged door cupboard. 

now, this can be placed with bathroom and dressing area, which not only save the place but it is also good for utility wise. Small partitions are given to get these divisions.

Those who have been through the ordeal of picking their dream house may know how much of a pain in the neck it can be. There are so many things to keep in mind and so many decisions to be made that it's almost enough to put you off the whole process. That doesn't have to be the case.

I also had to make sure that the rooms were the correct height. Blog Data: Open house is a home design and construction software company. They are the market leader in Australia. This house plan was designed in their software and was one of the first in what is going to be an

1. How do the rooms affect the harmony and how the Feng Shui works?

The rooms of your house can help or hurt your Qi. The most important rooms in a house are the main bedroom and the living room. The main bedroom should be positioned on the side of the house that faces south. In many parts of the world, the south is known as the "wealth" side of the house. The bedroom should be a minimum of 8-feet wide and 10-feet long. The living room should be at least 10-feet wide, but this isn't as important. The best locations for the living room are either on the west or southwest side of the house. The living room should be a minimum of 12-feet wide and 10-feet long. We don't want the living room to be too close to the front door because it will cause the back of the house to be weaker. The height and size of the rooms in a house affect Feng Shui and how it works. This is a common question that many people ask when they are planning to build a house or renovate their old house.

It is a common misconception that all the rooms in a house should be the same size. In fact, this is not true. In Feng Shui, the size of a room is not as important as its height of it. Rooms with higher ceilings are better, as it improves the energy flow in the room. That is why it is a common Feng Shui practice to add a skylight in rooms or build a room with a loft.

Cracks in new construction

Cracks in new construction can come for two reasons.

1) Improper quality of work - material or execution. 

2) Not given proper time.

1) Improper construction:- Before doing construction we have to check the quality of the material also. some of the basic things that we can check in the material are. 

a) Cement:- Cement should not be six months old. 

b)  Sand:- There should not be any clay or silt in the sand. 

c) Metal:- should be proper conical sold shape and size, chips are avoided.

   ***

***

 Above are the common material problems that should be taken care of, now some precautions are taken in execution also.  In concrete proper vibration has to be done, while doing brickwork, bricks should be properly wet and one finger joint gap ( for mortar ) should be there. especially the last layer of brick and beam bottom there is no space for mortar, hence we have to keep mortar on brick and then we have to place it. and spaceless then brick thickness we have to fill concrete. even the holes felt for scaffolding has to pack with concrete mortar. Please see the images for proper understanding.

     

2) Not given proper time:- Now timing is the most important thing in construction. Each and every structure need sufficient time. After excavation we do p.c.c ( plain cement concrete). we have to wait for its curing period but we immediately start the footing work, which is completely wrong. We should wait for at least 48 hours so that it should gain strength. The same mistake we do with brickwork and plaster. brickwork and plaster are two different structures and both need separate shrinkage periods, brickwork takes a longer time and few shrinkage cracks are developed. therefore we have to do plaster on brickwork after the 5th or 6 the day ( till then we have to do curing ). cracks in brickwork are filled in plaster and after plaster and its curing period ( 14 days ), we can do putty work ( putty is filled in minor cracks developed in plaster ). Many times you see cracks in your new home below the slab beam, that is because you didn't give proper time for the settlement of bricks or plaster.

How to repair cracks? 

The crack should be repaired in the hot / summer season only. This is because at that time cracks are bigger.  you have to wet the crack surface with a sprayer and then make mortar with a crack seal - you can your Dr. Fixit crack seal ( click to buy online ), and fill in the crack.  do curing for 2 days and then use leak spray  ( click to buy online)

#housecrack #crackconstruction #repair #crackrepair

The quality of a house depends on the quality of the materials used and the method of construction. Sometimes, the house suffers from cracks, the cause of which is due to something that is done incorrectly, the wrong material being used or there is insufficient curing.

Cracks after construction are very common in all the construction, the most common types of cracks are Silicone Cracks, Curing and Shrinkage Cracks, Joint Cracks, and foundation and Slope or settlement cracks.

cracks in newly constructed houses. The most common cause of cracking is not the foundation problem. Cracks can occur in the walls and floor for many reasons. High humidity, high temperature, and poor structural design are the main reasons for cracks in built houses. In this post, we will explain 3 types of cracks in newly constructed houses.

When a crack is seen in new construction, it is usually the result of settling. Cracks are common in newly constructed homes. The cracks are usually caused by the settling of the home. Once the home is completed, there is nothing that can be done to stop the settlement. Cracks that appear in new construction are usually cosmetic and can be repaired by injecting epoxy into the crack. However, there are a number of reasons that a crack may appear in a new home.

1. Building cracks: What are they and why do they happen?

When it comes to construction, there are a lot of things to worry about. Construction is a dangerous process and one of the top concerns is building cracking. When cracks appear in a house, it’s easy to think that your house is unsound and that it’s about to crumble. Before you panic, it’s important to understand what a crack is and why it happens. A construction crack is just new construction, in the process of curing, becoming solid and hard. During the curing process, it’s normal for a building to develop cracks. These cracks, called “curing cracks” are often found on concrete slabs and masonry walls, and are usually a result of something called differential movement. This is when some parts of the building move more than others. The causes of this movement can include groundwater levels, soil conditions, and weather. Because of the differential movement, some parts of the building may be compressed, while others are extended. The cracks are formed as the concrete, masonry, or mortar dry and hardens. Cracks in homes and buildings can be very unsettling. You know that you did not put the crack there, but you have no idea when it appeared and what caused it to appear. It could be a lack of proper construction and the cracking of the building, or it could be a sign of something more serious like a foundation settlement. It is hard to know for sure, and this is why cracks in newly-constructed homes are something to be concerned about.

2. Foundations causes and solutions

When you are trying to build a house, it is very important to do a good job on the foundation. Getting a good foundation is a key to a strong and sturdy house. If you do not get a good foundation, your house will not last very long and will not be very safe for you and your family. Every house is built on a foundation. It is not possible to build a house without a foundation. There are a number of different types of foundations. The most common types are Slab-on-grade, Pier and beam, and Wood.

3. Walls causes and solutions

Cracks in the wall – are they a sign of poor quality or just a design feature? This problem is a frequent cause of concern for homeowners. The main cause of this problem is the introduction of moisture into the wall. In the process of building a house, the wall is not completely dried, which leads to the accumulation of moisture. This can be caused by a number of factors. Firstly, the material used in the construction. The use of brick or cement will increase the likelihood of the appearance of cracks. Brick and cement are porous materials that absorb moisture. This process accelerates the formation of cracks in the walls. What's more, this moisture can get into the house from outside through the foundation. This can be from the basement or from the ground. The most important thing to remember is to take care of the moisture before it goes into the wall and causes cracks.

4. Ceilings causes and solutions

A ceiling is a construction element that is used to divide rooms, hide the house's structure, and add a decorative effect. The main purpose of a ceiling is to provide protection against water and fire. In addition, the ceiling hides the pipes, wires, ducts, and other utilities. Therefore, if there is a crack in the ceiling, it is necessary to think about what to do with it. What to do if the ceiling of the crack? To answer this question, you need to find out why cracks appear in the ceiling and what causes them. The main reasons for cracks in the ceiling are 1. The wrong choice of material for the ceiling; 2. Instability of the structure of the building; 3. The use of defective materials. The first thing to know about ceiling cracks is that they are almost always normal. Cracks in the ceiling are caused by continual movement in the structure of the home. The house is constantly expanding during the summer as the internal temperature increases, which is called thermal expansion. During the winter, the house is also expanding and contracting, which is called thermal contraction.

5. Houses cracked after construction

If a crack appears in your newly constructed home, you may assume that the concrete has not been properly cured and that the problem will resolve itself with time. Actually, the problem is more likely to be the result of poor construction, improper use of concrete, or a defect in the concrete itself. Concrete and curing have an important relationship. In fact, poor curing of concrete can lead to structural problems like cracks, spalling, and heaving. Understanding the relationship between concrete curing and cracks is important for homeowners and builders. So you have just moved into a newly constructed house and suddenly you hear a creaking sound as you walk through the house. You can see that the walls are developing cracks, expansion joints are not expanding, floors are not settling, doors are not closing properly and there are bubbles everywhere. You don’t need to worry, this is normal. These are just cracks and they are just the normal movement of a building as it settles into its new form. The good news is that they will disappear in a few weeks or months. The bad news is that they will only disappear if there is a perfect balance between the internal and external forces acting on the building.

Conclusion: Foundation cracks are not a serious threat to habitation, but having them repaired is essential for your home's long-term integrity.

They are even more efficient in cooling small houses or apartments. According to the EPA, homes that use air conditioning account for almost 20 percent of energy use and more than 10 percent of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.

As we are all observing the extreme heat nowadays due to global warming. I have been experiencing this myself and have had to keep my air conditioning on constantly. I have noticed that when the air conditioner is on, the temperature in my home can go down from 80 degrees to 65 degrees within 30 minutes. This gives me a great idea of how important insulation is within the walls of my home. I also have a very old thermostat that I am contemplating replacing as it does not seem to be accurate.

Ceiling fans are most commonly used in the summer, but this is not the only time you can use them. In fact, ceiling fans can be used in the winter to help save on heating costs. With the weather turning colder, you will probably be turning your heat on. Turning on the heat means a higher utility bill. You can save money on your home heating costs by putting your ceiling fans on a reverse setting.

I have decided to write this article because of the extreme heat we have been experiencing lately. You can call it global warming or climate change, but it is affecting our environment. A lot of people are complaining that they are boiling at home.

I mean, it is the hottest time of the year, and we should leave our windows open, at least a little bit. It is also a fact that our electric bills are much higher than they should be this time of the year. So how can we keep our homes cool during the hot days? Well, the most wallet-friendly option is to use ceiling fans. Ceiling fans are the cheapest way to keep your home naturally cool. They cost almost nothing to run and they make you feel like you have an air conditioner in your home, without spending a lot of money on it.

6. Clean up the attic: get rid of all the stuff up there which in turn will cool the house down.

So, when it comes to your attic, we know you have a lot to do, especially in this hot summer. The weather is really hard on your house and you might be tempted to just close the door and let the heat do its thing. In some cases, it might be your best option, but if you want to live healthily and make your home a comfortable place to be, you need to take care of your attic. It is the perfect place to store all your old stuff, but it can also be a big problem if you don’t use it properly. My wife, a Northeasterner, and I, a Southerner, had a major difference of opinion about the attic. She wanted to keep it neat and clean and put away unused things. I wanted to throw out everything and start fresh. She wanted to keep the roof access door closed and padlocked. I wanted to leave it open so we could air out the attic. She wanted to keep the old air-conditioning unit up there for next summer. It's still up there in the rafters, even though it hasn't worked for years and the fins are rusted.
