There are two types of freezers available on the market, these are upright freezers and chest freezers. You will need to have an idea of how much frozen food you will be storing before making your decision on which freezer to purchase. Generally a standard freezer of either type will hold 35 pounds of frozen food per cubic foot of useable space. Most freezers come between 5.5 cubic feet up to 25 cubic feet. You won’t want to buy a freezer that is going to be too large to fill. This will be a waste of space, and of your money. Your freezer will run more efficiently the fuller it is.

The next consideration will be the floor space you have in your home for the freezer itself. Chest freezers require more floor room than do upright freezers. Chest freezers are generally more energy efficient than upright freezers. Chest freezers tend to be better insulated than upright freezers and loose less cold air when opened. A chest freezer will be better for freezing larger or bulky items. Chest freezers do not have shelves, they have bins for easy storage of frozen items. Chest freezer generally don’t come in colors other than white for the simple fact they generally are kept in basements or garages. Chest freezers are a wetter environment than upright freezers which does help prevent freezer burn on foods. Chest freezers must be manually defrosted. Another important feature will be a child safety lock, especially with a chest freezer.

Upright freezers are like a refrigerator/freezer. They will have one or two doors that open from the front and from three to seven shelves for storage. An upright freezer will require much less floor space than a chest freezer. The shelves will make an upright freezer easier to organize than a chest freezer. You will want to decide if you want a manual defrost or self defrost freezer. Manual defrost upright freezers are cheaper to buy than self defrosting freezers, but who really wants to have to defrost their freezer?

You may want to consider purchase of a freezer alarm. This can be a very good investment, especially if you have an older freezer as it will warn you with an alarm if the temperature in your freezer drops which can give you time to save your food.

Insulation is the process of enclosing or covering an object with a material that serves as a barrier and reduces (or blocks) the flow of energy, specifically heat. It is essentially used for the following reasons:

-To reduce heat energy losses.

-To prevent nearby objects from heating up.

Below are some examples where insulation is typically used:

-On appliances – stoves and ovens, refrigerators and freezers, water heaters, water pipes, etc.

-On industrial applications.

When done properly, insulation can provide indoor comfort (by keeping your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter) and energy efficiency.

Determining and buying the insulation that is right for your household can be a challenge. Below are some helpful hints on how to go about buying the perfect insulation for your home.

1. What to insulate. The first thing to consider is to identify where the insulation will be installed or used. A personal inspection of your home may be sufficient, but it is still best to let the qualified people (such as your contractor) do the job.

Depending on your (or an expert’s) findings, your household might need any or all of the following insulation:

-Wall/cavity wall insulation. Cavity wall insulation prevents your house from being exposed to rapid temperature changes outside. Studies show that heat loss due to un-insulated walls can reach as much as 50%, and cavity wall insulation could possibly prevent 70% of this from happening.

-Loft/roof insulation. Because hot air rises, heat loss through the roof can reach as much as 25%. This can be greatly reduced with proper attic or loft insulation.

-Duct/pipe insulation. Leaky ducts or pipes can contribute to an increase in your heating (or cooling) costs. They can also burst (or freeze), so it is also important to have them properly insulated.

-Water cylinders/storage tanks. Hot water cylinders and cold water storage tanks also need to be insulated to prevent them from being exposed to intense cold or heat.

2. What to use. Traditional insulating materials that are commonly-used in the households are the following:

-Fiberglass/fiberglass mats/mineral fiber. Fiberglass is the most common and versatile type of insulating material that is made from molten glass and spun into microfibers.

Usually pink or yellow in color, fiberglass comes in 3 forms:

Rolls – blankets of insulation that may or may not have vapor barriers, which prevent condensation in cold areas that could result in damage (such as mold).

Batts – similar to rolls but come in lengths ranging from 4 to 8 feet.

Blown – these are loose insulation that can be ‘blown’ into walls or ceilings.

-Cellulose. Another insulating material that is commonly used in households is cellulose. It is a fibrous material made from scrap or recycled paper (like newsprint or cardboard) that is shredded and treated with chemicals that would make it resistant to fire and insects. It is then applied (poured or blown-in) into place, either as loose-fill or wet-sprayed with the use of a machine.

-Rock wool. As the name implies, rock wool is an insulating material that is made from rock. Manufactured similarly to that of a fiberglass (with molten rock replacing glass), rock wool can be in the form of a hollow brick or a porous concrete block.

-Synthetic insulation. Synthetic insulating materials are manufactured in several forms, some of which are the following:

Polystyrene foam – usually as rigid, pre-cut boards.

Polyurethane foam – usually as boards or foamed ‘insitu’ (“in position”).

Spray-on expanding foam – similar to that found in aerosol cans, it can completey seal and insulate even the smallest areas in the house by ‘poofing’ up to as much as 2 to 4 times the original size when applied.

Deciding on the right material to be used for installation largely depends on the area that requires installation. Below are some of the standard insulating materials that are recommended for the specific areas in your home:

-For loft or roof insulation

*Mineral wool quilt

*Blown mineral wool

*Blown cellulose fibre

-For duct or pipe insulation

*Mineral wool mat

*Pre-formed split foam insulation

*Foil-faced fiberglass insulation

*Vinyl-faced insulation

*Ridged foam insulation

-For wall insulation

*Blown-in cellulose

*Fiberglass (batt and roll) insulation

3. Check with an expert. Aside from your personal considerations, the key to finding the perfect insulation for your home is to consult a professional who is knowledgeable in this field. It is still best to check with an expert, who could provide you with several options that would best suit your needs.

Insulating your home may add to your household expenses today, but in the long run, it will not only save you money (by lowering your utility bills); it will also protect you and your property.

When people think of home improvement, most think of remodeling or drastic renovation that costs a lot. Contrary to these ideas, improving the quality of your home starts with a single concept according to most interior decorators: increasing space. As simple as those two words sound, they are probably the most difficult to accomplish in terms of house design and decorating. However, there are ways to make this home improvement goal possible with the least amount of cash and effort. Starting with the most visited room in your house sets the tone for your project.
The bathroom is the most overlooked place in the house in terms of design. The common excuse of homeowners is that visitors do not really see the inside of the bathroom unless they ask to use it. But design experts argue that this should not be the case. The use of the bathroom is gradually changing from being functional to aesthetic. It is not only for bathing and other bodily functions but also for relaxation and de-stressing. It is important to keep the dual nature of the bathroom’s function in mind as you go about your home improvement project.
Increasing bathroom space has a lot to do with ceiling and waRL dimensions. However, you do not have to remove walls or reconstruct your ceiling as part of home improvement. Simply placing borders along the conjunction of your ceiling and walls is often enough to “increase” their dimensions. The color provided by the border tricks the eyes into perceiving more space. Using wallpapers or tiles with vertical stripes or dainty prints also makes the room appear taller. If you are not using tiles or wallpapers, painting the bathroom ceiling and walls with a neutral shade illuminates and broadens the space. Plain white looks boring, and designers advise the use of other shades like ecru, beige, and oyster to update your bathroom’s color.
As much as bathroom space relies on walls and ceilings, floor space is just as important. Uncluttered floor widens visual space so keep this in mind in furnishing your bathroom. Instead of standing cabinets which interrupt floor space, instaRL floating cabinets and storage spaces. Mount vanities in walls and choose claw-footed tubs instead of flat-bottomed tubs. These maximizes visible floor space which is an essential in any home improvement project. Painting floors in neutral shades or getting them a woodwork finish is best to increase space. Using light-colored tiles need more cleaning but gives your bathroom the illusion of being wide and spacious.
A home improvement project is not complete without furniture. In choosing bathroom fixtures and furniture, go for those that are slim and sleek. Go for the modern fixtures in chrome or silver. Installing mirrors also add to room dimension by giving the illusion of space. Put in a window to let natural light in. Not only does natural lighting make everything look fresher, it also illuminates spaces better. No matter what path you choose to take in the crossroads of home improvement, it is imperative that the room’s function is not hindered by its aesthetics.

Although the air conditioners are built strong enough to endure snows, winds, heat, rains or biting cold, it needs regular maintenance like aRL things good or bad. The filters, the coils, fins, hoses et al must be kept in a fine condition to help the whole unit run smooth and easy aRL around the year for as long as you have it. Especially the coil of the condenser needs better maintenance since its exposed out in the open, unlike the coil in the evaporator. The exposed condenser coil gets dirty far too often due to the dust and pollution or because of trees near or above it. Anything coming in contact with the coil can have an insulation of sortsdust particles, grease, dirt, soot, dry leaves, seeds, corrosion, bugs and even microorganisms like bacteria can be an impediment to the much needed heat transfer from the refrigerant to the outside air. Unwanted heat needs to be given out from the refrigerant.
The amount of refrigerant used in an air conditioning unit determines whether the makers would get the highest SEER level of efficiency or notthe lesser, the better. The units are designed in perfect balance, and so the slightest hindrance to the heat transfer usually conks out the balance and deteriorates the functioning of the unit. If dust or dirt accumulates on the coils, the right amount of heat doesnt go out, thus increasing the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant going into the compressor to abnormal degrees. Consequently, the compressor stresses itself to work more on the cooling of the abnormal refrigerant, thereby drawing more amperes of electricity. As a result of this fiasco, the cooling capacity of the air conditioner obviously dwindles and the mechanical parts wear out. So a dirty coil simply boils down to three thingsinsufficient cooling, fagged out machine parts and a higher cost for functioning.
Over time, if you keep the coils unclean, they get choked with seeds and dirt and restrict proper airflow. And if the airflow is impeded on a hot day, the head and cylinders of the compressor automatically gets too much hot. Next, the oil wiRL start breaking down and fail to lubricate. This fosters decay and allows contaminants into the air conditioning unit. If that happens, the pistons, rings and cylinders indispose and as a result, the compression lowers, valves leak, metal debris float in the oil. Finally, total failure of the compressor nears. Air conditioners function in a closed circuit system. It is not at aRL an easy and simple procedure to replace the fuRL lubricant. The oil used in air conditioning units is originally quite resilient but impurities in it or into the system and regular neglect accelerate the end. The result is same as trying to drive a car without changing its engine oil for a decade. In an air conditioner, when the compressor stops working, theres no way out other than to throw it away and replace it with a new one. And this of course means opening the system, removing the refrigerant and the oil, and filtering dryers to tidy up the unit. Moisture and acid sets in as you open the system or when the system fails. Evidently, this is a very time-consuming and expensive process. And the worst news is that, many air conditioners, at this point, are not in a condition thats worth the trouble.
The advantages of cleaning the coils regularly are as follows:
More heat gets out of the room, cooling is faster and the system functions at quite a low temperature.
Electricity costs remain low as a clean system always draws minimum amperes.
The compressor can operate stress-free, at ease and with optimum efficiency.
ARL the components remain healthy and thus ensure more reliability and a longer life for the unit.
For aRL these reasons, it is always advised to keep the coils free from dust and dirt with the help of an air conditioner cover when you are not using it, like in the winter months.

One item that every swimming pool must have is a pool filter. A swimming pool filter is the main process that keeps your swimming pool clean of the various debris that are brought in by wind, rain, cleaning supplies, toys, and swimmers. A pool filter works to keep the water clear and promotes safety and health while in the water. The pool filter has three main components that allow it to keep your water clear and safe for swimmers. First, there is a motor and pump that work to bring the water in and push it out during filtration. Then the filter itself falls into three categories DE (Diatomaceous Earth), cartridge and sand.

A DE (Diatomaceous Earth) filter is probably the best for filtering even the minutest particles that could be in the water. Diatomaceous Earth is a natural substance that is found in the soil. It has the consistency of a fine, white powder. A filter made of Diatomaceous Earth comes in two different types of filters, a spin filter and a vertical grid filter. These two terms simply signify how the filter is set up. The spin filter does not work as well as the vertical and is virtually obsolete today.

A sand filter makes use of sand to filter the water of particles and allows filtered water to run through easily. The cartridge filter works in the same manner as a Diatomaceous Earth filter but without the use of any substance other than fabric mesh to filter the water.

Here are a few things you should consider before purchasing a swimming pool filter:

First, find the volume of the entire swimming pool. To find the volume you must consider the shape of your pool:

If your pool is rectangular  Multiply the following  Length, width, average depth
If your pool is circular  Multiply the following Radius, 3.14, average depth

Next, figure the capacity of your pool. This will allow you to calculate how much water your swimming pool holds. This is an important factor in purchasing a pool filter. To find the capacity, multiply the volume (you found in step one) by 7.48.

You will then have to determine the type of filter you want. Consider if your pool would benefit from a cartridge, DE, or sand filter. You should also consider if you want the filter to be vacuum or pressure. It is suggested that you should make the filter slightly larger than your initial calculation to allow for better filtration.

There are a lot of different aspects that must be taken into consideration when purchasing a swimming pool filter. For the entire filtration system you can expect to pay anywhere from $20.00(USD) to $300.00 (USD). Replacement filters are slightly cheaper in some aspects, depending on the type of filter your system uses, you can expect to pay anywhere from $4.00 (USD) to $200.00 (USD).

It is important that you follow all recommended procedures outlined by the swimming pool manufacturer. This will help you in maintaining clear and healthy pool water that can be enjoyed by all swimmers.

The noises – a trickle, a drip-drop, or heavy rush or splash. Ahh, the sun is gone, rainy days are here! Roofs, gutters, and downspouts function in harmony to keep us safe and dry during a downpour. Rainwater rolls down our roofs; much like it does down the mountains. It is then collected in gutters before they are channelled into downspouts like waterfalls. All of these show what roofing and waterproofing is all about.

The noises – a trickle, a drip-drop, or heavy rush or splash. Ahh, the sun is gone, rainy days are here! Roofs, gutters, and downspouts function in harmony to keep us safe and dry during a downpour. Rainwater rolls down our roofs; much like it does down the mountains. It is then collected in gutters before they are channelled into downspouts like waterfalls. All of these show what roofing and waterproofing is all about.

1. More Protection

Waterproofing is more than just channelling the water away from our roofs. It extensively prevents water from entering the house through a substance application specifically designed for waterproofing.

2. The Concept

Basically, to ensure basement waterproofing, one has to take two steps. The first step is to mount a very reliable drainage system. This is because if your drainage system becomes clogged with leaves or simply can not handle the amount of water capacity, water will accumulate instead of being neatly cyphoned away.

Of course, even with the best gutter and roof, water still penetrates the ground naturally when it rains, because not all rain will fall on your house, some will fall around it, perhaps on your front or back yard, or your neighbors yard.

Either way, if too much water is retained in the ground, the possibility of water entering your basement exists, and the only solution is to have your basement waterproofed.

3. Never Again – Find The Source!

Before you do basement waterproofing, it is a must that you find the cause of leakage first

– Is there a crack in the wall?
– Was the house built with weak structures?
– Are waters outside flooding and causing too much pressure?

In order to detect any of these problems, inspect your house thoroughly. Usually, water will penetrate on areas where there are cracks, usually on the floor or walls of the basement area. Do all of these things before you apply basement waterproofing.

The unfortunate part is that in order to actually apply a coat of waterproofing, you have to dig at least six feet right next to the wall. The waterproofing mixture must be applied directly to the outside of the basement wall – it can’t just be poured on the ground next to your basement! This is an extremely physical task and so in all honesty you should hire a handyman or better still, contact a service to do this for you. The service will come with the added benefit of providing you with a warranty for services offered that guarantees you won’t experience the problem again for a set amount of time.

This modern office furniture guide aims to inform you on different aspects of furniture buying course for both home offices and regular offices. Office furniture has changed with changing work style, the aim being to save on space, while optimizing on productivity and playing it easy on paper, in-line with the modern work mantra. There are two categories of office users; a segment deals with home office furniture with its peculiar up-to-date needs. Then there is regular modern office storage furniture, desks and office computer workstations that fiRL up on norms of modern day lifestyle playing it smart on colors, trendy on style and high on functionality. The demand is for power-packed furniture that saves clutter and allows space to move around.
This guide emphasizes on individual users and regular office furniture, following is the list of modern day furniture essential for any office to function,
Desks:One of the most important features of an office, a desk is where aRL the work comes to life. You may think about executive office desks that come in different size and shapes for home users. Before you start looking around, it is advisable to make a list of the functions you would need the desk for. You may be conferencing regularly, or perhaps need a large desk for a variety of functions like printing, reading and writing or sketching work and so on. Estimating your need should give you a fair idea about the ideal size within the available space.
You get multi-tasking tables with extendible models that can be used for everyday work. Knowing what tasks you’RL be doing at your office desk wiRL help you choose the best one for oneself. If you are the type who spends more time on the computer than using a pen and paper, workstation is more of the thing to suit your purpose. For regular offices, it is important that your furniture matches up with the work environment and settings in the most complimentary way. Also you get great combo of workstations with seating for 4-6 people, complete with partition and individual storage units that are quite modular and trendy.
Arrangement: How big is the room or work area (for offices) you plan to set the desk or workstation/s in? For home users, it is important to get a desk that fits in the space and also allows movement around the room. If you have a complete room to use as an office, a larger desk sounds like a better idea. Once the space is determined, style, color, and material can be rounded up with ease. For smaller spaces and offices, corner desks sound like a great idea.
Modern/Executive Office Seating
Chairs are important too and you get a wide range of ergonomic models that ensure comfort and allow great posture while working. Before you buy a chair, you may like to ponder on the following details,
 How much time wiRL you spend on the chair? Determine from heavy to moderate usage.
 Are your feet comfortable and supported? They should rest comfortably on the floor, and your thighs should be firmly supported and form a square with the floor.
 Back support is of utmost importance to avoid back pain and stress. The ideal angle between your upper legs and torso should be between 90 and 105. Tilting the back should be easy, but also firm to allow a good posture.
 The desk chair should be ergonomic and allow posture change with ease.
Ergonomic office chairs these days come with advanced mechanism to control your sitting position for superior comfort. The idea is to minimize body stress by offering different tilting angles and positions to support your back and feet.
Modern Office storage: Storage in any office is central to work and relative to convenience and productivity. A trouble-free storage unit neatly arranged and close to your work desk always helps with saving time. Clutter free and paper-less zones are yet to arrive, we do need paper in our office lives even if its been reduced to minimal. File storage and everyday paper work stiRL needs to be stacked for records and you get filing cabinets and modular storage furniture in aRL trendy shapes and sizes. Mobile storage units are also great to allow easy moving within the office. Materials range from sleek steel, glass and wood.
Office Storage:
Points to ponder when buying storage units
 For home and office users, how much of paper work you do everyday?
 How many cabinets do you need for filing?
 Does the unit have sliding draws?
 Does it allow additional space?
 For bigger units, is it easy to open and stack files?
 Is the material robust?
 Does it go with your office theme and colors?
You can find almost any variety of furniture, some of which wiRL meet your exact needs. Just keep in mind the practical details like room size, desk size, how many people wiRL use a work desk or workstation. Keep in mind the functional part and fit in furniture that compliments the theme and work environment at your office and home.

Hardwood floors are rather expensive so owners must exercise every effort to protect them. Since they come from exhaustible resources, trees, and take years to produce, they are more tedious to care for and maintain compared to concrete and other types of building materials. Thus, if you’re looking to use hardwood for your flooring, you should be prepared with the right protection methods and tools.

How can you protect your hardwood floor?

First, don’t expose it to too much sun. The ultraviolet rays from sunlight is one of key reasons why some hardwood floors become discolored over time, regardless of its finish or stain. We are referring to the same ultraviolet rays that cause damage to your skin. UV rays do the same to any other type of organic material.

To shield it from the sun, install a screen on your windows or use curtains. You can use sheer drapes so it’s not so dark in the room. There are hardwoods that lighten from sun exposure, while materials like oak and cherry will tend to become darker. To slow down the discoloration process, apply water-based urethane finishes to your floor. Oil-based finishes are okay but they have a tendency to turn yellow or amber when exposed to sunlight.

Second, make sure it’s always dry. Water is a hardwood floor’s worst enemy. It can seep into the material and cause nasty stains and decay. You can protect your floor by applying thick coats of finishing, but keep in mind that finishes also thin over time so you have to reapply regularly.

Wipe up spills immediately and don’t leave wet rags on the floor for a long period. Also, use only dry cloth to wipe your hardwood floor. Never use a damp mop.

Another way to protect your hardwood floor is to put felt glides under the legs of heavy furniture so they don’t scratch the surface when moved. Felt glides also cushion the weight of your furniture so they don’t make shallow holes on your floor.

The point of protecting your hardwood floor is this: if you want it to last longer than your lifetime, you have to give it the care it needs. And since hardwood floors, when maintained well, can stay on even after a century, they definitely deserve protection.
