Therefore, when designing your home design, it's good to consider the issue joined between the bulkhead is. One of the common tips is to minimize the screen carefully manage the size of each room and adjust the material available on the market. For example, adjust the size of the room with a tile size that will be used so that later there is no cut and ceramic waste. In addition to cost, processing time will be much faster.

Another tips is to design the location and position of the room so as not to need a bulkhead separating the unimportant. Moreover, if the position of your house is facing the sun. For example, you can put the porch / front yard, living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, and patio / back yard with another position lined up. Ceiling lights can be placed in such a way, for example, between the room, which is sufficient to illuminate two rooms there. In addition you can use wall lights lit on certain moments of light only when needed in large numbers. For example, during a family event or party.

Building a House: Save Cost With exposed brick

At the time of building a house, if we decide to use as an ingredient of red brick wall, then you should use the brick exposed for their expenses could be reduced. Why? Because by using exposure as a brick wall, you do not need to plaster. In addition, his appearance has a pattern of order and adds artistic value of the room.

But this time, is not rare anymore in the use of exposed brick on the interior elements, because the light brown color can make the walls appear brighter display.

Make it look more beautiful, exposed brick should be coated with lacquer. But if not well that's okay because the original color of the brick exposed itself was quite interesting and natural terkesal. Moreover, coupled with gray color of the cement that strengthens the impression naturally produced.

Minusnya side, exposed-brick walls require regular maintenance. So do not forget to clean the dust that clung to the wall surface and the routine diligently.

Save Cost With exposed ceiling

Ceiling or often called the ceiling is a layer covering the rafters. Work performed after ceiling plaster work and the roof itself is complete. The process itself there are two, namely making the framework of the ceiling and then closed it. Ceiling framework itself can be made by using wood measuring 4 cm x 6 cm. Meanwhile, to close it, use plywood material, GRC, eternet, asbestos, and gypsum. Besides wood, the framework of the ceiling can also be made with a hollow iron meggunakan measuring 4 cm x 4 cm and covered with gypsum.

To be more efficient and cost-efficient, ceiling work can be done by using usuk, which is part of the roof truss that can serve double - as the cradle battens, as well as a framework ceiling (if desired). Here, the form of the ceiling will follow the slope of the roof. Thus, we no longer need to create a framework of the ceiling.

In addition, the ceiling cover material used is GRC, the fiberglass cement board that can be used in interior or exterior, with a size of 122 cm x 244 cm and a thickness of 4 cm. The advantage, in addition GRC prices cheaper than the price of wood plywood, this material is also waterproof, fireproof, and anti-termite, which can last for a long time.
