Pergola, Sweeteners Looks Houses
Eksterior October 16th, 2009
Plant propagation can look beautiful with the assistance of the pergola. Features garden and has a pillar-shaped hallway that held the pole also has a variety of designs.
Pergola is a loan word is also used in English and German. Is actually a pergola roof structure is a roof in addition to the main roof, where the roof can be used as an extension / extension of the main house or the roof can also be the structure that stands alone and is located separately from the main roof.
Initially, the pergola is a wooden or block formation organized in march (generally serves as a shade) and can be easily found in buildings with a Mediterranean style. Later in development, pergola experiencing expansion function, which is used to bermacammacam purposes, such as the roof on the swimming pool area, kitchen and terrace.
But in general, we are more familiar with the use of the pergola as closing the garage or carport. In subsequent developments, it turns out that the selected material type and variety of structures that are used also joined also undergo change, in line with the new discoveries in the field of technology. Currently, we can find a wide range of pergola on the market.
We, too, can have options and alternatives that suit their needs and design functions owned budget. Currently, pergola form has undergone many developments. It’s no longer only used as a supporting structure, but also as an ornamental facade of the house and sweetener.
Therefore, in choosing the form used, we must be careful that the existence of the pergola does not cover or damaging the facade of the house. For that, we need to consider several things as follows:
Roof forms
The first choice is a form adapted to the desired effect and adjusted for the facade of the house. We can choose the form of a roof: Straight, Saddlery (inverted V), Curvature, and the combination of the above
Roof structure
Roof structure can be chosen using the pole structure, the structure without a pole, or hanging. For the type that uses a pole, can use U or L shape structure with a slope of the adjusted inverted, or the form of Y and V. Of material for each structure we can choose according to their character.
To be able to choose the type of roof covering materials and structures used in the pergola, it is better we find out more material to be used.
1. Wood materials. Used to get an impression of nature and light, as well as more practical usage. Suitable for a variety of simple models, especially for a minimalist model and the Mediterranean that many use the straight model.
We recommend using a sea timber type resin with a weatherproof if directly exposed to rain or without a lid. But if you use a roof coverings, can also use this type or Borneo camphor.
2. Metallic material. Chosen because of the strength and flexibility in shaping the desired model, especially for curved shapes and rich ornaments for the classical model. Usual classical model and the Mediterranean using wrought iron, while the minimalist model using an iron hollow or channel C. For building a modern futuristic theme, using aluminum or steel.
3. Concrete material. Often used for that emphasizes the strength and resilience. However, usually combined with pergola concrete structure or other roof coverings.
In fact, we should not be bound to use only one type of cover material. However, it can also use a combination of some of the material is adjusted by the impression we want to create. For example a natural and strong, then used a combination of concrete materials with wood.
Type of roof covering
Roofing materials are often used is Fiberglass, Polycarbonate, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and aluminum, not concrete.
Fiberglass. Selected because most maintenance and installation is easy and relatively affordable price. However, I suggest choose a quality medium to prevent rapid deterioration. Because, when it sold a lot of low quality and can be easily damaged and crack when nailed.
Polycarbonate. Was chosen because it is more able to withstand the heat because it is usually coated with layers of fiberglass and ultraviolet than more durable (the color does not quickly fade). Light can be forwarded. Impression of light and transparency was also obtained. Easily bent and its installation does not take a long time (approximately two days).
PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Widely used and its position between the fiberglass and the polycarbonate, which is more durable than fiberglass, but much cheaper than polycarbonate.
Aluminum. Generally that is widely used is the product Lovera to have easy and flexible as it can be opened and closed easily. Only, the price is relatively high compared to other closures.
Dak concrete is also still used for the want of power. In addition to the above material, there are still some others such as tiles, as well as vines, asbestos, cloth, or aluminum awnings. However, its use is adjusted with the impression that we want to create, with consideration given to security, comfort, and durability and strength.
Your current home model of minimalist models typically use a flat roof forms, materials with hollow metal or plain wood without the profile and structure of concrete or metal poles with wires hanging baja.Untuk Mediterranean model, straight or curved roof forms, materials wrought iron or wood-profile and wooden poles or metal structures can be used.
For the classical model, used structural concrete poles or wrought-iron pillars and motives given by the gutter screw into steel or concrete poles

Pilar grandeur
Decoration October 10th, 2009
My house palace. This phrase could describe what a human being needs a comfortable home, not rare even become a symbol of pride or prestige for their owners.
In this edition, we will discuss one of the style of buildings that use the pillars as architectural ornaments. Pilar, as we know, is that there are poles on the building. These poles can function as a column supporting a weight of the building, can also function as an ornament.
In recent years, along with the development mode and the ability of the public economy, many residents who use the pillars as architectural ornaments of the house.
“The pillars of this, if done with good taste, certainly gives the impression of majestic and luxury homes. Moreover, if supported with selected materials,” said Monika Setiawan, a lecturer in architecture Tarumanegara University, Jakarta.
Generally made of concrete pillars. In addition to concrete, could also use a layer of ceramic, wood, metal, or natural stone. If you want to impress more “elegant”, can use marble as upholstery materials. Marble pillars, usually used for interior decoration of the house.
While the pillars are placed outside the home can be divided into two major lines. There are only placed in the main door as a point of interest, as well as a marker of the main entrance making it easier for people to find the entrance.
“There are also pillars placed around the building or part of the house with certain distances. The pillars adds to the greatness of a house,” said Monika.
Use of the pillars were often associated with Greek and Roman culture. It’s good when we see the triumph of the Greeks and Romans long ago.
The buildings used as temples to worship their gods filled with pillars. Each side is surrounded by pillars, which in addition to functioning as a supporting structure of the building, also the element of beauty. From this aspect, both presumably alluded to the Greek community about science is so advanced in the pillar problem since thousands of years ago.
They can make a magnificent building without technology making concrete, steel reinforcement, and so forth. All is only made of stone arranged in overlapping. Understanding and a high sense of the Greek community to the problem of the pillars is understandable because they loved the beauty of form.
Bottom of the pile is made larger than the top. That way, only more powerful and robust to stand up, also serves as a correction to the optical element.
“Generally, the pillars that can be divided into three types, namely Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. At first, Doric columns of the first type is created. Furthermore, in line with the progress of human civilization, emerged Ionic and Corinthian columns of which are full of carving, “said Monika.
Along with the development of Greek culture, Ionic pillars also growing. They added at the bottom of the pillar base. Forms of care of a little pile up and decorated in a groove. Chapter section (head pillar) shaped rolls that lead down like a snail’s house. In Jakarta, the pillars of this type can be found on Pancasila Building and Art Building.
Doric pillar shape and a solid short. Touching the floor directly underneath, without the base. Chapter section simple and unadorned. Nothing elaborate carvings. We can see the pillars of this type in the Arts Hall at Kota, Jakarta.
“Then the culture growing again. Now they have developed a form of Corinthian which is higher than the ionic basis. Kapitelnya filled with elaborate decoration. We can see examples of species with Corinthian pillars in building the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta,” said Monika.
When once the pillars are used to temples or palaces, in line with the changing times, its use has changed. Pillars for commercial buildings, and even private homes, has been taken for granted. Distance or scale adjusted for a large pole building. Throughout the pillars were proportional, a magnificent building forms must be created.

The houses are small to medium, rarely large enough to prepare land for the bathroom. Especially those who live in apartments. So it is with those who put together the bathroom with the bedroom. For a bathroom that was not too broad, putting the bathtub of course felt less fit. Use shower more likely to maximize land use in the bathroom.
