Security Systems For Home

It seems that most accidents have in common the fact that they could have been avoided with a little more care and attention. Although most of them can be prevented, people generally think that accidents only happen to other people. However, statistics on the damage caused by accidents, are truly amazing. Although there has been remarkable progress in reducing deaths from various diseases, the death rate from accidents has decreased very little.In fact, they rank fourth as the cause of death in the United States. The deaths of children between the ages of 1 and 14 are caused more by accident than by the following diseases taken together: tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, syphilis, rheumatic fever and appendicitis, all more murders cause fewer deaths per year accidents occurring in the home. Every year in the United States about 29,000 people due to home accidents. This figure should be enough for parents to think very well in the chances of accidents and make the word "neglect" cease to be part of your vocabulary.


 Different types of accident
The different kinds of accidents that commonly occur in the home will be listed below with some of their possible causes. This may serve as a checklist of precautions to take to ensure security at home.
 Fallen
Accidents caused by falls are the most common in the home. In fact, almost half of all deaths from home accidents are caused by falls. Preventing these depends essentially on proper maintenance of floor surfaces (both outside and inside the home), care to eliminate any dangerous obstacle. To help eliminate the common causes of falls, the following precautions are recommended: Take care that the sidewalks are in good condition, remove the branches or other objects that obstruct the passage and check the porches and stairs of the house are secure without obstacles. Ensure that wire cloth racks, shutters or other protection placed in the windows are securely fastened. Periodically review stairways and steps to see if any repairs are needed. Securely tightened using ladders, rather than boxes or chairs.
No climbing stairs with arms full of objects, or climb the stairs two by two or more. The waxed floors must guard properly. You have to rub the wax well to afford a sticky surface. With repeated waxed, entire floor becomes increasingly slippery, which is why the wax must be removed after being applied five consecutive times. Rugs and carpets should be placed in appropriate locations and anchored securely to the floor. Care should not have holes or bent edges.  
The base rubber mats should be reviewed regularly as it wears washed or impregnated with wax floors. Floors and stairs should not have misplaced furniture. The chairs and tables, for example, should not obscure the view of a staircase or obstruct free access to a room. This also applies to other objects that may have been left stranded, as children's toys. They will learn safety habits accustomed to keep their toys after having played with them. Electrical cables are also risks to be taken into account. They should be placed behind furniture and away from places where you walk. Finally, it is necessary to use appropriate and comfortable shoes. Shoes with slick soles, slippers or walk in socks or barefoot are not recommended practices on certain types of surfaces.
 Fire, burns and electric shocks
Since the heat and fire are essential in everyday life to heat the house, cooking and even smoking, special attention should be given daily to the risks inherent in the use of fire. Among the most dangerous and important elements to be taken into account include: equipment and faulty electrical wiring, smoking habits and the misuse of matches, the smooth operation of heating equipment, proper maintenance of the stoves oil, spontaneous ignition of garbage, he inappropriate use of flammable liquids, hot ashes and placing fuel in places near the heaters.

How to hide the bathroom door

In a home environment, relatively small , recover space is of vital importance . For this reason, in the process of furnishing is necessary to study a number of solutions indicated precisely this purpose . Or in the case where the space is not a problem , however, solutions to make it look like a still larger. Many solutions may be available to us, in this guide we will see how to hide the bathroom door recovering space, but at the same time furnishing.



Hide a door, nowadays it is not a problem , just give space to the imagination, and the solution comes totally unexpected. Let's start to see how to hide it in case we wanted to conceal the continuity of the house giving the illusion that the apartment is still in the room next to the bathroom .To create this effect we would need to achieve a kind of library in which should be applied a hidden mechanism able to open like a door. The library in question will inevitably be chosen based on the furnishing of the room in which it is placed. If our furniture is classic library will also be classic, but if the room is modern, consequently, the library will follow this line.For the inside , the one from the bathroom, we could choose to leave it smooth, or apply some ornament or decoration.

If we are lovers of the simple things , then in this case we may opt to hide our door behind a simple curtain. Of course, the fabric must be matching with the decor and also draw the curtains a little present at the windows of the room so as not to clash, and then deviate too much from furniture. As a type of fabric instead must be large enough to fall in an appropriate manner and cover with sobriety port that is hidden behind it. The fabrics most suitable for this purpose may be quite heavy velvet or linen.

Instead we see a solution to mask both the bathroom door which to recover space. This solution is particularly suitable when our apartment was not big and spacious. To realize this idea will be enough to get a carpenter to build a false door, in wood, very rough, which will be mounted on a sliding mechanism to view. To keep the rustic, simply spend more coats of varnish on the wood, so as to give luster to the door , but also enhance the beauty of the wood with which it was made.

Shower Column Reviews

When we install a shower especially in the garden, you have to build it in the column.This assembly includes the construction of a slender paralleled on which is fixed a shower head and taps to mix the water. They must be connected to the structure of the pipes that draw water from the main source donor . Let us see in detail how to install a shower column .

In the market you can find shower columns have been processed or finished with tiles, or just metal to be coated with any material. If you opt for the solution of DIY, we can also make the column directly in masonry and then cover it to our taste and maybe relevant to the whole furniture of the garden.



For the construction of the shower column , which must be at least 190 cm high, we provide the concrete blocks that superimposing them on one another in the stack, glue them with a mixture of mortar and concrete. Once you reach the desired height we take care of practice on the upper part of the column shower hole for attaching the head, and in the lower holes for the two knobs respectively hot and cold water. At this point, with the canes copper on the back of the column, we link together the various holes and make them converge in a pvc pipe about 4 inches in diameter, which leads directly to the source. These can be hidden in the ground or distributed along the perimeter of a wall in the lower part . Once the hydraulic part we just have to go to the finish. First, we take care to install the knobs at the bottom to about 1 meter from the ground, and the head that is attached directly to the column.

If you need to install a shower column in a bathroom inside the house, you can choose between different models and design and having already funnels for various water pipes, the shower column should be applied directly on the tiles with the file to four sides. At this point, you can complete the installation with the assembly of knobs and water supply, and the head of the rod that supports it.

Also, do not use detergents, detergents, sprays that are not suitable for the type of material it is made mobile. You can use the wax and oil but avoid any type of cleaning agent that can dull the color of the furniture forever. Never use scouring pads that are not absolutely fluffy and soft otherwise you risk scratching the surface .
