Parquet from a bamboo



The bamboo is not a tree, and a cereal, its stalk – the stiffened culm reaching 40м in height and 30см in diameter. The bamboo the most quickly growing plant on the earth, it offers to it conclusive advantages before traditional wood. Fast growth and absence of air pollution in growth regions, do impossible accumulation of harmful substances in its wood, therefore this most non-polluting plant used for manufacture of various products. The bamboo can be collected and is anew filled, without what or consequences for environment. It can grow on pastures and on the impoverished soils. Unlike the majority of trees, cutting down of a bamboo does not destroy a plant and does not damage top a layer of earth. Fast growth of this plant gives the chance to receive in 25 times more raw materials, than from usual wood. The limited annual cutting down allows a bamboo to be restored completely without additional landings.

Throughout millenia a bamboo in many countries use for building, manufacturing of furniture and various house utensils. It has received such constancy thanking its natural beauty and uncommon . But best this fine material are able to use in China. Here of a bamboo do ware, furniture and even build houses. The bamboo as well as possible approaches for parquet manufacturing after all at it there are all properties shown to floors of the first-rate quality is a beauty durability and moisture resistance. durability of a parquet directly depends on its hardness. Hardness of a material is characterised by factor of hardness of Brinellja - the above factor, the the material is firmer. So, for example factor of hardness of an oak make from 2,5 to 4,2, and for a bamboo floors -5,5. Better to say, the parquet from a bamboo, approximately on 80 % is more dense and stronger than oak. Thanks to such durability the parquet from a bamboo is ideally suited as for premises, and uninhabited, for example the office.

The bamboo parquet, besides fine technical characteristics, gives one more conclusive advantage before traditional kinds of parquets: it gives the chance for creation of the stylised non-standard interiors. The elegant structure of wood creates pleasant atmosphere which will effectively underline an interior of your room. Bamboo floors are universal, they are ideally suited for interiors in classical and east styles. Thanks to the sunniness will change and become an ornament of a sleeping or children's room in your house.

Natural colour of a bamboo - zolotisto-straw, replaced by more dark cross-section strips in the locations of knots of a stalk. To change a material, the bamboo can be exposed to heat treatment. Then it gets pleasant карамельный a shade or darkly honey colour. Thus, the parquet from a bamboo happens two variants and is called: Natural or Coffee. Also the parquet differs by varnishing kinds, there is the matte or glossy covering giving unique colour. Besides the parquet from a bamboo can differ on selection. Depending on a way of manufacture, stalks can be pressed in a horizontal order, i.e. in parallel a floor (the Bamboo Horizontal) and in vertical, to perpendicularly floor (the Bamboo Vertical). In the first variant, all beauty and singularity of a stalk from it is visible obviously, and in the second – laths of a stalk more thin and practically without structure and its colour seems to more light, rather than at horizontal. The parquet and board from a bamboo, as a rule, are delivered in a variant already processed by a varnish in factory conditions and with микро by a facet on perimetre.

Basically in the Russian market the parquet from a bamboo Chinese manufacture is presented, but it is not necessary to be afraid of it, as in China in the presents time is made many the qualitative and hi-tech goods, even such as computer payments and is liquid crystal monitors. The parquet from a bamboo too is made on modern the equipment with application of the European technologies. For parquet manufacture use carefully selected 4-6 summer bamboo. The natural material passes processing in special furnaces where gets the colour on all depth of a lath, it is very important that at the further operation gives the chance its polishings. Features of a structure of a bamboo trunk do not allow to use it in a natural kind for manufacturing a parquet, therefore parquet stick together in three layers from separately prepared bamboo laths under the big pressure in special chambers. On a structure it is a radial parquet, i.e. Wood fibres, are directed in parallel long party of a lath. Such floor also is considered more smooth more expensive. Then parquet from different directions cover with several varnish coats on a basis полиуретана and dry under ultra-violet beams. All it does a parquet steady against a moisture, changes of temperatures and strong mechanical loadings.

The bamboo parquet can be stacked safely any of traditional ways. Is more often it stack on moisture resistant plywood, pasting everyone. At walls leave backlashes which compensate parquet expansion at humidity change indoors. Manufacturers of a parquet offer also a plinth from a file of a bamboo of various colours. The parquet from a bamboo does not demand the further polishing and varnishing as everyone клепка is already covered by a varnish industrially from different directions. Therefore you should not spend money for chemistry. And packing of such parquet costs in 2,5-3 times more cheaply, than usual, besides will occupy much less time. At observance of technology of packing and correct operation such covering will serve many years, pleasing you and your family. Care of such covering does not deliver special efforts to keep such floor clean enough to vacuum it or to wipe a dust.

Glass doors - elegance and originality


Still recently interroom doors were almost imperceptible in an interior - the faceless cloths dividing premises. Today they became the major detail, but also, they "have learnt" to connect rooms. Glass doors are fine alternative to usual interroom doors from traditional materials. They deprive space of pressing isolation, visually "move apart" space and connect rooms, and also fill with their light and make impression  premise volume. Besides, glass doors give to a premise own shape, the originality. The interior gets original modern sounding and becomes more stylish.

Elegance, originality and inimitable ability of glass doors to be entered in any modern interior more and more draw attention of the tempted buyers. In Europe internal glass doors - not a new fashion trend, and the ordinary. In Russia it while the new tendency supported with that circumstance that our fellow citizens have ceased glass doors with an input in the underground or from a scientific research institute checkpoint. Now the glass door is perceived as an organic and functional detail of an interior.

The history doors totals any more one decade, originating in constructivism of the end of 20th years of the last century - in those days leading architects of the whole world have been captured by search of new, unexpected scopes of application for traditional materials, frequently without paying attention that the level of development of industrial technologies was not in time behind "thought flight" and limited "imagination open space". However many from put forward then ideas have appeared are rather viable - year after year a science and the industry, accumulating experience, approached possibility of high-grade realisation of courageous concepts. One of them - to use glass in design of interiors more widely.

Received in the end of the XX-th century the wide circulation style "Hi-Tech" has given ideas and a new impulse to use of glass doors and partitions not only in buildings of trading and public appointment, but also in interiors of premises. Beskarkasnye doors from glass have started to be applied widely at the equipment of saunas, bathrooms and shower cabins.

Safe glass

 allowed to raise mechanical durability and injury prevention of products new technologies of thermal hardening have allowed to make of sheet glass an essential step forward. After training at glass the crystal lattice thanks to what it is stronger usual in 4-5 times changes. If the tempered glass all the same breaks, it will be scattered on set small (about 1 sm in diameter) splinters with неострыми, reducing risk of a traumatism to a minimum. For this reason the majority doors and self-bearing бескаркасных the partitions made today in the world, are carried out from the tempered glass.

There is still a technology triplex. Triplex is actually some glasses between which polymeric films are glued. Even if triplex will break, the film will not admit, that splinters have scattered on the parties and have put a trauma to the person. In practice to break glass doors it is difficult enough, the only thing of that they "are afraid", - blows by sharp subjects in an end face. A thickness of a cloth, as a rule, 8-10 mm though meets both thicker glass-12 and 14 mm.

Accessories

The unsophisticated buyer sometimes surprises and it seems unfairly high cost of accessories for цельностеклянных doors, in comparison with products for doors usual - wooden, metal or plastic. Really, special accessories, especially from the leading firms, cost but the reason for that are necessity of the most careful approach to designing and manufacturing of all details and elements.

Glass - an original and specific material, in a combination to it any detail as though is tested on quality and aesthetic full value. Besides the primary goal - to provide ease and convenience of the opening, all elements of accessories should supplement and underline harmoniously natural beauty of glass, shine of the polished edges that is possible only at irreproachable attention to quality any, even the smallest detail.

The accessories for glass doors traditionally occupy special, a place of honour among other "hardware". At the small sizes of a detail of accessories should maintain with a stock very big weight. In design of accessories designers widely use various kinds of the invoice of pure metal - the stainless steel matte or polished to mirror shine and aluminium. In cases when it is justified by colour scale of a surrounding interior, are applied anodized (under gold), painted in colours or brass details of accessories.

Large manufacturers offer different elements (handles, loops, arms, fixing knots), united by uniform style. Their use in various combinations does possible to equip in a uniform key not only a door, as one of elements of a glass wall, but also all self-bearing partition from glass. Such designs and accessories complete sets are convenient for applying and when the sizes of an aperture are so great, what even very wide and high cloths of a door will not close it completely, and to "sew up" the remained space with an opaque material there is no sense.

Tselnostekljannye doors can be equipped and systems of automatics of opening gaining the increasing distribution, electronic coded locks and electrolatches with remote control - all leading manufacturers of similar devices necessarily offer special models for glass doors.

The qualitative glass cloth, at all seeming simplicity and laconicism - result of careful work of many experts and to the full can be made only at presence at the enterprise of the whole complex of the special equipment and technologies. Only with their help probably to cut out and process sheet of glass with the admission in the tenth shares of millimetre, to receive an irreproachable surface of the trapezoid polished edge, to drill apertures and to execute difficult figured cuts for installation of elements of accessories.

Very high requirements to accuracy of the sizes are shown with an ulterior motive - after all at installation of a door from glass are already impossible adjustment on a place as it is admissible for other materials - it is impossible to subject the tempered glass to repeated or additional machining.

Ways of opening

"Glass doors" enter into concept some kinds designs. On a way of opening they can be divided into groups:

Pendular - the glass doors opening both inside, and outside. As a rule, with such door it is used floor which after opening returns a door in the closed position. The door fastens in a floor and in a ceiling.

 these doors open only in one party and are put in a door box. The door by means of lateral loops fastens to a wall or a door box. Glass doors of this kind are usually internal and are put in apartments, offices (including in office partitions from various materials).

Откатные - at opening drive off aside. Carriages to which the door cloth is attached, move on the top rail (which it is fixed to a ceiling or to a wall). This design especially approaches in situations when the usual door at opening takes too much place and partitions off pass. Otkatnye doors are put indoors.

From the bent glass - thanking concerning young technology of training of the bent glass cloths began possible to make both pendular, and sliding doors with the bent door cloth. Such doors - an individuality and originality sign.
