slate roofing tiles for many years
people in many countries made rooftops
out of materials such as slate or
ceramic roofing tiles and straw at the
beginning of the 20th century they were
replaced by sand cement tiles as well as
asphalt shingle you might think that no
one was going to be using those old
traditional materials again nevertheless
several decades later builders prefer
slate roofing tiles over other materials

resistance to rain Sun and chimney smoke
sand cement tiles serve a maximum of 70
years ceramic 50 years synthetic no more
than 40 years only slate shows an
amazing durability up to a hundred years
slate as a natural foliated stone
minding special quarrys it is less
susceptible to sunlight when compared to
other materials and it is also
sustainable
despite the fact that slate tiles are
not cheap and require a loss of
investment they're estimated to be the
most profits of all roofing material
that's because you don't need to repair
it and you won't have to replace it for
about a hundred years
transforming bet small apartments and
houses without a separate bedroom are
becoming more and more popular today
some can't afford a spacious dwelling
while others just feel better in a small
but cozy house the furniture you see on
the screen is designed for such small
spaces if you enter the apartment when
the bed is folded you probably won't
even know it's there that's because it's
skillfully disguised as a wardrobe or
another piece of furniture there are
various models differing both in
appearance and functionality designers
wanted to create a stylish piece of
furniture that would look good both
folded and unfolded for example there
can be a painting on the wall behind the
construction all the lower parts of the
bed can be equipped with a wide shelf
when the bed is folded it can serve as a
desk thus one single piece of furniture
acts as two if not three Murphy beds of
san diego manufactures all these models
staircase lighting system people living
in duplex houses know how difficult it
can be to move around the house at night

like the one you see on the screen can
solve this problem not only does it keep
the household quiet at night but it also
makes going up and down safer by
lighting up the steps themselves not the
space around them

feature of the design is these special
motion sensors they detect movements and
illuminate the steps just before you
step on them in addition this staircase
lighting system is versatile it can be
installed on both straight and spiral
stairs the shape of the steps doesn't
matter either
invisible screws terraces decorated with
natural or artificial would always look
amazing however the appearance is
sometimes ruined by these screws all
over the surface German company spax
offers a system that allows you to lay
the boards without the screw sticking
out of them first support structures are
placed on the prepared surface they are
installed at a distance of about 30
centimeters from each other if the gap
is any bigger the construction may sag
over time finally the decking boards are
laid
now the worker turns the board upside
down this is necessary to attach the
mount for invisible fastening it looks
like a plastic strip divided into two
parts one part of the fixture is
attached directly to the board the other
part of the support the results looks
exceptionally good
Spike's offers a wide range of products
for the construction of such terraces

self-adhesive tape to protect the
fasteners the company also offers joint
spaces to obtain even joints as well as
a device for tightening the decking
boards
