“Designing a house with ceramic tile floor to be seen where it is. That is, will be placed where. For example, in the bathroom, kitchen, a place that often hit the water, circulation area, and so forth,” said Rina Elandra architect.
From the initial placements, then determined the color, texture, materials, to design the composition of pottery. According to Ir Bambang Sudiatmodjo landscape architect, basically placement ceramics (especially floors) exist in two areas, namely exterior and interior.
“However, the exterior is divided again in circulation and public areas. Furthermore, the interior is the kitchen, bathroom, stairs, also including the circulation and the public,” he said.
For exterior areas, Rina and agreed Bambang said that if the ceramic is selected should be resistant to the weather. In addition, must have very low absorption.
“Generally, the exterior surface of the tiles for the floor berglasur. Kind of ceramics is also suitable for use on walls if you want a different facade,” said Rina.
Consider also when it rains so that the floor tiles got wet. Then, select a ceramic coarse texture and easy to clean.
Furthermore, the definition of public area is tiled floor must have a high level of violence, resistance to abrasion, fluids and chemicals. If you choose a glossy or glazed ceramic, it should be noted quality.
Because if if low-quality, will fade in a short time. Do not forget also circulation. Select type of ceramic is strong, compact, thick, and easily cleaned.
“Given the dirt from outside the home often carried inside. Ceramic floor glossy or semi-gloss may be an option,”Bambang call. Public areas and circulation are also applicable for interior ceramic tile floors.
Because both of these areas is also present in the house. The difference is, just do not need too strong. Therefore, the level of mobility of residents are also not as often as in the outdoor.
For kitchen areas, in addition to using a ceramic floor, can also be made monochromatic by walls. In this space needed floor resistant ceramic materials (liquid) dye, acid-base and fat.
That way, scattered the ingredients for cooking fell to the floor easier to clean and does not damage the ceramic floor. “For the ceramic wall, should and glossy because it has a high resistance to temperature of the kitchen from the stove, sparks and forth from the cauldron of fat when cooking,” said Rina.
For the stairwell, you should choose ceramic that are not slippery. Therefore, ceramic motifs with relief or texture on its surface could be the right option. Can also ceramic tiles with an accessory that is specific to stair mounted in known as bullnose and stepnose.
On the surface there are a number of granule-slip effect. Finally, choosing ceramic tile for the bathroom area. Generally, a very limited extent. This is to create an impression of a field in the bathroom.

Bath Showers October 28th, 2010
Bathroom design is no less enjoyable. Lots of options for the design. Which is the best, that determines your own.
We all know that the bathroom is divided into two categories: dry and wet. Well, from the categorization that will be easily determined such as what your bathroom design, especially the door who want to use.
The pattern of wet bath in the bathroom brings its own problems, especially in the treatment of doors and frames bathrooms made of wood. Due to frequent splashing water everywhere, the bathroom door so go get a splash of water every day. Spray of water constantly will surely door, causing decay, and finally broken.
It is true that the layer of paint, duco, melamine, or polish can protect the bathroom door panels from a splash of water. However, it was only temporary. Slowly but surely, the door panel and frame pair will decay, and then destroyed.
Damage usually begins from the bottom as a place that most often experience wetness (where water droplets). If it is so, there is no other way except to replace the door panels and frames with new ones. Wood panel doors can be said is not an ideal material for door of the bathroom / toilet wet.
“So should avoid the use of wood panels. Or if you’re already using a wooden model, give the layer that has proved resistant coating and anti against infiltration of water,” advises architects Bambang Sudiatmojo.
Do not be confused because there are several kinds of material or basic material in the manufacture of door panels are waterproof (water resistant). One of them is aluminum. Besides resistance to water, is also an aluminum material antikorosi (rust). Aluminum can be made into the door panel and frame assembly with a practical system.
Although aluminum door panels can be designed with various models, but unfortunately the impression that this material appears stiff and boring. Aluminum materials are also often not aligned with the theme of houses in many tropical regions using wood.
“Another case of your home if the concept of minimalism. Elemental aluminum is still unacceptable. In fact, gray aluminum very well with a minimalist concept of basic color classification, so no harm,” said Bambang.
Another opinion Zulkarnaen Darnin Ir. “It is true that aluminum fits with a minimalist design. But, if viewed from the aspect of interior design, very unpleasant. Even so, do not be confused because it all depends on you that harmonize. Therefore, use dong architect services,” Zulkarnaen banter, followed by laughter.
In addition to design a less attractive, another aluminum door weakness is kekokohannya the volatile due to the loose binding or slack. The noise is sometimes generated when bukatutup also very disturbing if the precision door changed.
Vinyl panel door frame is designed with a hollow-cavity. This door is quite strong and extremely water resistant. As for giving a more artistic and varied, the two surfaces (cover) leaves the door can be added to the foil layer that is attached by gluing techniques.
“Let me more attractive, should be given an ornamental. What are the important match, because the doors tend to be monotonous vinyl model,” said Bambang. Many display option leaves the door that match your taste and color desired. For example wood grain pattern, plain, or other texture patterns, whether a similar shiny surface and a touch of melamine matte finish.
In addition, although this type of door frame hollow system, still can be embedded special keys that are round and the toilet door hinge (which is also made of vinyl material) after the first aid given the wooden inserts in their sockets.
Prices are relatively cheap vinyl door because it no longer requires finishing such as wood panels on the door still remains to be dimelamin or in-duco, which cost is certainly not small. Maintenance is also very easy because the live wiping.
“But, that does not mean vinyl doors have no shortage of lho. For example if used on bathroom access is directly exposed to sunlight, vinyl does not hold a full and light can fade the color of the material. But this happened in a fairly long time. However, nonetheless should be considered, “explained Bambang.
In addition, the heat of the sun will change the form of vinyl in a long time. The form will be twisted. Layers cover the door panel that only rekatan on both surfaces could also damaged by water splashes.
“So, each has advantages and disadvantages. What is important to adjust your habits in using the bathroom. For example, in terms of location, distance of the door with a shower or bath, and so forth,” said Zulkarnaen, who is familiarly called Zul

Three Most Favorited Rooms
Bath Showers August 30th, 2010
There are three rooms, a room or cubicle that was vital in our everyday lives, ie bedrooms, bathrooms, and dining room.
Perhaps because the activity is often undertaken on a regular basis live like an automatic machine, we do not have time to take the distance to reflect and give meaning to how big the third function room. Let us consider briefly one by one. For married couples, especially, the bed is a space to recognize each other closely, there’s no boundary between the two.
People who sleep like snoring, for example, can not hide it. Our life partner will also know intimately through this space, especially how his sleeping habits and style? Further and deeper is related to sexual behavior. Hence the bedroom is at the core and inner space of our building.
That’s where someone wants to get the relaxation and happiness with her life partner, so if the atmosphere of the bed was not comfortable and happy, the impact will spread everywhere. How sleep is a delicious and very expensive gift, I’ve been there when the eye is very difficult to go to bed, which lasted approximately one week.
At that time due to difficulty sleeping, felt a very heavy burden of life. World spinning endlessly, very tiring. Syndrome that occurs after the jet lag from Saint Petersburg, Russia. In this city I witnessed what is known as a white night, at twelve o’clock and still looks bright so it can see the clock hands because sunlight.
Apparently the weather changes that affect the body’s metabolism, the body clock are affected, making it difficult to sleep when I got in the country. At that time I was longing to experience drowsiness and sleep. I became very aware that sleep is a supremely luxurious pleasure of God. Thus, the activity of sleep and various other agendas in the bedroom that will determine the quality of our lives.
Television, books, laptops, and devices Prayer is never absent from my bedroom. What about bathrooms? Here is another happiness offered. Imagine how it feels and consequently we suppose to have difficulties in defecating or small? In this bathroom we also feel how fresh when the body gets washed in fresh water.
Body fit again, comes a sense of relief after the loss cleared so confident when I’ll see you friend. In this bathroom we also find ourselves naked, while a variety of branded clothing accessories removed, reminding the time being born who were not dressed and later when dead were buried on the ground wearing a cap is also only minimally. A person can contemplate his own identity while in the bathroom.
Someone real face will be visible when on the move in the bathroom. Another room is the dining room, which offers the pleasures of the tongue, the pleasure is distinct from that found in bedrooms and shower room. In the dining room of warmth and intimacy of a family also maintained and developed.
In this space not only physical needs are met, but also emotional needs met and talked with the family in an atmosphere of light which are interest-rate liquid domestic life. Therefore should be avoided fights in the dining room because it would eliminate the provision that served enjoyment.
It unethical person who denounced the provision that has been served in the dining room because it really hurt so many people who have been involved and contributed to bring up the food on the table. Thus, every day we are dealing with three different rooms each providing its own happiness and enjoyment. The question is, if we have obtained the fulfillment and enjoyment of the three, for the event if the next?
Without purpose and meaning of life is precious, really low quality of our lives, nothing more than just eating, sleeping and pooping. Luckily, religion and teach, each entered the room and doing activities in it are reminded to always pray that we can be grateful that life meaningful and useful to others.
I myself often get inspiration to write while in the bathroom. Also feel fervently pray and celebrate life while feeling fresh water splash in the bathroom. So did every night to sleep, the mind and heart gasped how quickly the day passed, then calculate what good deeds I do on that day.
Mortified to God, it turns out myself unable to appreciate the grace of life with emphasis on good deeds. When life is filled with destructive behavior and vigorous hunt illicit goods through corruption, for example, how much harm in this life. How low the quality of our lives
