Gate before the strike

Somehow it was time sweating to make the gate in tandem, as the facade was renovated. And so it remained until it was high time: gray and it looked ugly anyway out (Fig. 1), but now was the old paint has also become brittle and cracked.

That meant rolling up the sleeves, but now! The old paint was sanded off, and "naked" wood, which was already graying due to weather influences, had to be handled with the orbital sander until his natural color was to be seen again. Then, a solvent-based primer is applied. Because of the raw wood. Only then let prevented that water-soluble dyes of the wood later "bleed through". After further grinding - but this time only slightly to roughen the surface - the door was painted with a lustrous silk, acrylic solvent-poor-weather paint.

Allergiker rusten auf - mit Pollenschutzgittern


Der warmste Fruhling seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnung bietet nicht nur Anlass zur Freude. Aufgrund der milden Temperaturen beginnt die Pollensaison viel fruher als sonst. Wie Heuschnupfen- Geplagte zu Hause Ruhe finden, erklart die DIY Academy.

Je nach Wetterlage verbreiten sich die Allergie auslosenden Pollen von Hasel und Erle normalerweise ab Januar. Durch den ungewohnlich warmen Winter erreichten sie ihre Blute jedoch bereits sechs Wochen vorher. Experten vermuten, dass sich die Pollensaison insgesamt verlangern wird. Fur die 12 Millionen Allergiker bedeutet das, sich in Zukunft auf veranderte Belastungsphasen einstellen und bereits eher vorsorgen zu mussen. Grundsatzlich gilt: Wer regelma?ig die regionale Pollenflugvorhersage beachtet, kann fruhzeitig reagieren.
Pollenfreie Raume

Pollenschutzgitter
Luften zur Pollenzeit: In den Abendstunden bei geringem Pollenflug oder mit einem praktischen Pollenschutzgitter, das am Fensterrahmen angebracht wird.
Foto: tesa

Wenn die Pollen drau?en verstarkt zirkulieren, sollten Allergiker sich vermehrt im Innenbereich aufhalten. Dabei gehoren tagliches Staubsaugen und Staubwischen zum Pflichtprogramm. Auf diese Weise lassen sich viele Pollen beseitigen, die jeden Tag aufs Neue uber Kleidung, Haare und Haustiere in die Wohnung hineingetragen werden. Auch wenn Staubsauger mit speziellen (HEPA-)Mikrofiltern effektiv sind, am besten lassen sich Staube immer noch mit einem feuchten Tuch binden. Generell sollten Allergiker moglichst auf Teppiche verzichten und stattdessen auf leicht zu reinigende, glatte Bodenbelage umrusten.

Fur stark belastete Patienten kommen zusatzlich Luftreiniger mit austauschbaren Filtersystemen gegen Allergene und Feinstaube in Frage, damit sie wenigstens nachts zur Ruhe kommen. Nach einem langeren Aufenthalt im Freien, sollte zu Hause die Kleidung gewechselt und diese moglichst nicht in Schlaf- oder Wohnraumen ablegt werden. Au?erdem ist es ratsam, die Wasche haufiger zu waschen und im Haus zu trocknen, damit sich keine Pollen einnisten konnen.
Spat luften

Auf frische Luft muss in der Pollenzeit nicht verzichtet werden. Da die gro?te Pollenausschuttung in den fruhen Morgenstunden zwischen vier und sechs Uhr erfolgt, sollten in landlichen Gebieten zu dieser Zeit die Fenster geschlossen bleiben. In der Stadt tritt die geringste Pollenkonzentration in den Morgenstunden zwischen sechs und acht Uhr auf. Die beste Zeit zum Luften ist demnach abends zwischen 19 und 24 Uhr.

Wer tagsuber Luft reinlassen will, dem werden engmaschige Pollenschutzgitter fur Fenster und Balkonturen empfohlen, die genugend Frischluft hineinlassen, aber als Barriere fur feinen Blutenstaub und Insekten dienen. Sie enthalten keinerlei chemische Wirkstoffe und sind leicht anzubringen.

Rust protection for ferrous metals

Rust protection for ferrous metals

Hardly any other material is so present in everyday life and is processed for as many items as metal. It is therefore important to protect this value takes effect. Ferrous metal parts are best protects against rust, as long as they are new. But in retrospect, if the rust has already started his attack, Hammerite metal protective coating as a solution is at hand. Sometimes an object is only completely de-rusted, but not be painted, for example, a rusty bicycle chain. The Hammerite Anti-Rust range also offers a solution for this. Rust protection for ferrous metals


What type of metal?

The most important criterion for metal protection, the distinction between ferrous metals (iron and iron alloys) and non-ferrous metals such as zinc, aluminum, copper or brass. Both have namely to different surface structures. Therefore, the customer with the protective metal act differently.

Metal Protection

Ferrous metal

Ferrous metal parts to protect myself from rust if they are new. Here goes a lacquer coating. If the rust has set, metal-protective coating is the perfect assistant. Due to its special composition, it makes the rust is harmless and stops the corrosion process.

The protective coating can in fact directly onto the rusty surface. After painting, a solid layer, which wards off harmful environmental influences. Pigmented should, therefore, colored lacquer, is especially used when the paint not only protect, but also beautify.
Non-ferrous metal

The adhesive properties of non-ferrous metals are less good than for ferrous metals. So before zinc, aluminum, brass, copper or galvanized steel, metal coating can be coated, they should first be coated with metal cleaner and then treated with a special primer. This preparation is paying off. This gives the customer the best result when he finally painted the non-ferrous metals.
Remove rust from metal

Hinges, small parts, screws, nuts, chains, or rusty tools - if small parts are attacked by rust from metal, they are no longer fast functional. Everyone knows the application area where rust must be removed completely without and lacquered. Here too, the range of a suitable solution: rust remover as bath concentration. Loose rust particles are easily removed with a wire brush and then placed in an immersion bath. 12 to 24 hours later, the metal parts can easily be rinsed with clean water....

Renovate buildings - masonry protection - avoiding damage

After some time, unfortunately, sometimes shortly after completion of a house, make often felt in buildings and construction defects and damage.

Usually it is moisture that seeps in the lowest floor and basement through the walls or in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchen is made using. The consequences connect mold to efflorescence, cracking, moldy smell to standing water. In the worst case, damp walls even endanger the stability.

Moisture damage are often so great because they are recognized but underestimated or wrong fight. If you do not act quickly, correctly and consistently, the mold grows on the wall.

The non-visible consequences are often much more severe:

* Wet insulation loses its thermal protection function - rising heating costs are the result.
* The life of building materials and components decreases, where appropriate, the stability is compromised (timber).

To counter these losses and to prevent significant damage, there are different measures inside and outside, some even settle quickly (impregnation, joint seal, etc.), other very complex and to be performed by professionals (horizontal blocks, concrete repair, etc.).

To avoid subsequent repairs from the beginning, you can insulate a basement, the expansion of your inner and outer walls to seal properly.

In recent years, the restoration of concrete has come more into focus. Frequently give rise to damage to concrete surfaces. It is crumbling and rusting of structural members, in the base area, on facades, balconies or stairs.
