Decorative cork walls - A new idea for your interior design

Welcome to a new article from Facades WorldToday we want to tell you about this new trend that is being used throughout the world to decorate walls. It is known as decorative cork walls, but not only serves to decorate but also serves as an insulator. If you want to know more about this boom, do not detach from the screen because we are starting right now!

Decorative cork walls: a natural and recyclable insulator

The cork comes from the tree called cork oak, which sheds its bark every nine or twelve years. It is a versatile and insulating material with a wide variety of decorative uses. It is also inexpensive, very easy to use and you can decorate it to your liking with varnish, spray paints or wallpaper. The decorative cork walls We say that they are sustainable because it is a natural material and its obtaining does not generate waste or cause prejudice to the tree. Being able to cover your walls with this material is a great alternative if you are looking for a different result beyond paint or wallpaper.

Cork walls advantages - Sustainable material

As we have already mentioned, cork comes from a tree called "cork oak" which loses its bark naturally and then the best ones are selected. Later they are boiled in water so that they acquire a flexible texture, can increase their thickness and get a more spongy body. Among the characteristics that make it an excellent thermal insulator we find that:

  • Its alveolar structure makes it resistant to rain and high temperatures.
  • As cork is internally shaped, with cells joined and practically empty, they transform this material into an acoustic insulator as it absorbs noise.
  • Cork is recyclable and reusable, but best of all, if it is discarded it becomes biodegradable.
  • It is an insulating material since it does not cool easily and it resists very well over time.

Not only used in bottles as caps

It is true that the majority use that is given to cork is to make bottles of wine and champagne, but it is not the only use. In the field of decoration and interior design It is used to make furniture, accessories and coverings. A well-known use is the one that occurs in floors, since it dampens the noise of the footsteps very well. But where it stands out the most is when we see cork wallsas it has a very strong decorative force.

Diversity of formats and more advantages

Among the advantages we have when covering a cork wall we find that we have many variants of formats, measurements and thicknesses. When we are going to cover a wall with this material, what we would have to look at is the thickness to be able to choose correctly if we are going to use it as an insulator or decoratively. The most normal thing is to get it in the form of plates, plates or rolls but also if we want we can find it in chipboard format.

Boost your decoration

Just using this material on a wall adds a decorative touch on its own. What we must bear in mind that when using this material we must accompany it with colors and simple finishes so as not to overload the decoration of the space. Remember that it has a great visual impact so it will enhance our environment. The most suggested use of this material results from using a cork wall and the rest leave them in neutral or white tones that alleviate the overall effect.

Prepare the surface

The process of installing a cork wall is not a very complicated process, you can even do it on your own without the need for a professional. For this option it is best to lean towards medium size plates that are easier to place. In the first instance we must prepare the wall, it is necessary that it does not have humidity problems. Then we must fill any cracks or holes that our wall may have. Finally remove any trace of dust or dirt. The second step is divide the wall into zones drawing a straight line both horizontally and vertically that can intersect in the center.

Choose the adhesive

Cork boards are usually glued with a special adhesive to achieve better adherence to them. Choosing the right adhesive is a very important step to avoid problems in the future. The basic thing is to see the thickness of our plates since if they are thin plates we can use an acrylic adhesive but in plates with a thickness of more than one centimeter we must use neoprene-based adhesives.

How to apply it?

  • We apply a layer of glue both on the plates and on the wall and with the help of a spatula.
  • After the adhesive is ready (10 to 15 minutes depending on the manufacturer) we place the first piece guiding us in the straight lines that we drew previously. We must be extremely careful since this type of adhesive does not allow us to rectify since it is instantly adhered.
  • We must apply pressure, first with our hands and then with a roller that we may have in our home.
  • Lay the cork boards from the center to the edges. Finally we will make the roof line by cutting the pieces previously to measure.

How to make a snowman with balloons - Step by step

  1. In the first instance what we have to do is inflate both balloons, which will be the base of our doll. That is why we recommend inflating the one that we will use in the lower part a little more than the one in the upper part, since it will be our head.
  2. Then at the junction of both balloons we adhere them with paper tape.
  3. In our container we proceed to place the white glue with a little water. How much? The necessary to make an aqueous mixture. It shouldn't be too thick or too runny.
  4. We wet our wool in the container that we had previously. The objective in this case is that the wool can absorb the mixture to achieve greater hardness and that when it dries it is well armed.
  5. When we notice that our threads are with the necessary humidity, we proceed to circle our balloons with it. We will do it everywhere but trying not to completely cover the globe since we want a snowman that has holes. For greater security we can give you one more hand, with the help of a brush, of glue.
  6. Finally we let our snowman dry. How long? About 24 hours, if not in a hurry, let it dry one more day. The reason? Achieve a better consistency in drying the doll.
  7. Yes now! The moment so awaited by the youngest of the house has arrived. It is time to puncture the balloons to have the armed structure. We can help each other with a needle that we have at home.
  8. When we finish this process we will remove the pieces of tape that we had put to help us and remove the pieces of balloon that were left inside.
  9. We can glue the joint of the head and body with the glue or hot silicone. We can also do it with a little more glue. The choice is yours and use what you have at home to save money.

Colors to paint a house - Learn how to choose them with this post

Do you want to renovate your house and completely change its view without spending a lot of money? We tell you that painting will then be your best companion on this path. It is inexpensive and gives the feeling of entering a brand new home. That is why today in Facades World we tell you how to choose the colors to paint a house. Do not detach yourself from the screen because we are starting right now!

What are the best colors to paint a house?

Today our friends and colleagues from Architecture Planet have had an important collaboration with our website. It is a special post in which you can learn different colors to paint a house and you can choose the one you like best or match your home. So without further ado we show you the content:

How to choose the colors to paint a house? The great dilemma

If you are looking or thinking how to choose colors to paint a house It is because you surely reached the end of the work or because you want to remodel the pre-existing one. This is usually a stage where you find yourself looking around for help or some advice that is an idea trigger. It is very normal to see that people paint white, pale yellow or at most a shy blue. There are very few people who risk painting with bolder colors that can give an original touch to our home. That is why we will try to show you the sensations, feelings and how psychology plays when choosing the perfect color for your home ... Let's see.

colors to paint a house

Cold or warm colors

The psychological theory of colors says that they are separated into hot and cold. Now we will detail the particularity of each one but it will be our decision to choose what kind of feeling we want to give each space.

Cold colors: They are those colors that derive from blue, gray and green. These colors help to create a calm, peaceful and calm atmosphere.

Warm colors: They are those colors that derive from red, yellow or orange. These colors create a feeling of vitality, energy and movement, thus predisposing to activity.

White: The color that goes with everything

Painting white is always a success since it is a color that never goes out of style. But this is not the only benefit but it also generates a feeling of spaciousness, all the visualization falls towards the furniture, highlighting it even more. On an emotional level, this color gives us peace and allows us to clear our minds.

Blue: The color chosen for the year 2020

One of the main reasons for choosing it is that in 2020 it was the favorite color. In the most intense tones this color creates totally relaxing environments. It is not highly recommended for small bathrooms or studio apartments of a few square meters. It is usually used in large spaces that when combined with white create cooler and more pleasant environments.

Green: The color of nature

El green it is a color that encourages brain activity and calms the mood. Green is often known as the color of nature and goes very well with various colors. If we combine this color with a blue in its darkest tones, we will achieve cooler environments. On the other hand, if we combine green with an orange color we will find the perfect contrast between both colors. It is a matter of being clear about what impression we want to achieve with it.

Pink: An ideal color for the room

Many choose pink for their Room for being an extremely relaxing color. It is a color that invites you to disconnect and at bedtime this is a very important factor. Today this color is no longer usually associated with women but rather it is a color without gender. We usually recommend the pastel tones of this color since its lighter tones can become more garish and it would not fulfill the feeling we are looking for in our room.

Gray color: Sophisticated and elegant

Many people often associate the color gray with a sad and boring color but we have news for those naysayers. This is a color of the most elegant and that every year is more chosen for homes. The white color is a great ally to accompany the gray color. We must bear in mind that it has to stand out and it is for them that combining them in the right way will further highlight the elegance that we want to bring to our space.

Violet: Controlled Emotion and Relaxation

It is an ideal color for the living room or bedroom. This color gives the feeling of exclusivity and authority. Violet is one of those few colors that walk in the middle between warm and cold. It is even a sacred color for many religions that has profound effects on the mind. Even many psychiatrists use it to calm patients with mental or nervous problems since it transmits peace.

Black color: Elegance and sophistication

Specialists describe the color black as the absence of color. It is usually associated with a color that brings negative effects such as death, lies or cruelty. However, it is a color that conveys security, confidence and if we pay attention it is chosen by the most prestigious brands on the market (Apple, Nike or Adidas among others). The black color is a perfect ally of wood, especially in kitchens, since both complement each other to achieve a feeling of elegance and prestige in the sector of the house where they are located.

Highlight an area of ​​the house with intense color

If what you want is to highlight a piece of furniture in the house or sector, what you should do is paint the wall to be highlighted with an intense color. In this way, we will give much prominence to that sector, diverting all eyes there.

Color frames, windows and columns

If you are one of those people who like details, painting columns, frames or windows will be to your liking. A way to highlight those spaces so that they can convey the feeling of order and beauty.

The ceiling: A sector that we rarely pay attention to

If we talk about the dining room, a detail that we must take into account is that the ceiling is the fifth wall. Many times we overlook it but it is a wall that can completely change the aesthetics of the environment. If you have a house with a very high ceiling, you can use the criteria that we mentioned above and choose a dark color to give the feeling that the ceiling is much closer than it really is. Otherwise it is when we have a very low ceiling, painting it in light colors or white will give us a feeling of spaciousness, reflecting the light that enters from the outside.

From Facades World We hope and hope that these colors to paint a house will be of help to all our readers. From now on, we thank our colleagues from Architecture Planet for this great contribution. Finally, we want to remind you that you can subscribe to our large community of followers on our social networks… We are waiting for you!

Material Grill Measurements - Choose a default for your home

As you surely already know, Facades World is that website that helps you find answers to your questions, as well as ideas for the interior y Exterior from your house. That is why today we want to share with you different measures of material grills, seeking to help you choose a default one for your home. So, if you are interested, do not move from the screen because we are starting this new article right now.

Post content

Main Measurements of Material Grills

Many times we tend to attribute the success of a barbecue to the skill of the grill, but we must not stop taking into account that material grid measurements They must be the right ones. How many versions of grills have you seen so far? You sure lost account already. That is why we will try to provide you with as much information as possible so that you can choose the one that best suits your style but that the general structure is consistent so as not to bring you problems in the future. Let's see…

Average Height of Brick Barbecues

To achieve a good grill design, the ideal is to prioritize comfort in post to achieve a good use of it. That is why after the compilation of our department of architects we agree that the average height of a grill is between 85cm and 90 cm. We could even say that it is common sense since the measurements of the kitchen counters are usually these. If your desire is to make it 100% personalized, the ideal is that the height is the closest to your waist. This is so you don't have to bend over too much to control what you're cooking. But if you have to do it with an average, the measurements that we provide are going very well.

Material Grids Width

All measurements are important, but for its functionality and correct use that of the mouth is critical. We find two conditions that we must think about before deciding the material grid measurements.

  1. The use that we are going to give it. Is it to make a family barbecue or hold large gatherings?
  2. The layout of the space. If we have little space to build the grill, it will not matter what use we want to give it. We will have to do the same in the space we have.

Focusing on the measurements of the width of our grill for family use with one between 1.20 meters and 1.30 meters will be more than enough. It may seem little to you but if you use the space well with these measures it should be more than enough. As for the grills designed to hold a meeting with friends or family parties, the ideal measurements would be from 1.70 meters. This will allow us to have a grill with a generous space and a corner for our fire

Spit Mouth Height

This is without a doubt the most debatable height among the material grid measurements. This is because each person has a favorite number and it always works for them. Today in Facades World We will tell you what the experts use and why they choose it. As we mentioned before, the width of the grill is conditioned by the space or the use of it. In this case, the mouth of the grill is conditioned by its proper functioning. The measurements we suggest are between 65 cm and 70 cm. Below we will detail why we suggest these measures.

  1. If you use inferior measures, it will force you to bend down too much to be able to maneuver what we are cooking.
  2. If we use a higher measure it is very likely that we will end up swallowing more smoke than roast. This occurs because when the smoke rises it must be quickly guided towards its path in the chimney, but if it does not find it, it will escape through the mouth of the grill.

Grill depth

In this measure it seems that we all agree and there is a maxim for all, the more depth the better, however, from Facades World te We suggest you use the one you want. The main function of the depth is to get everything you need in: brazier, grill and on room to maneuver. But if it is about measurements those that are between 80 cm and 90 cm will go very well. If you are looking for other dimensions, you should consider the following:

  1. Less than 70 cm you may not fit a small grill and you have little room to maneuver.
  2. More than 1.00 meters you must bear in mind that the ideal is to be able to reach the bottom of the grill by stretching your arm. Keep in mind this information, it is not necessary to have to get inside the grill with your body to reach something.

Grill location

If the construction of the grill is going to be on a border wall, it is essential to know what our neighbor has on the other side. We mention this to avoid future problems between neighbors. The ideal would be to build a 15 cm thick counter wall attached to the dividing wall. This, as long as the grill has contact with it. This is done to minimize problems caused by the heat from the fire. But if you want to further prevent this inconvenience you can add a 2 cm thick expanded polystyrene sheet. In this way we will reduce the margin of error in the event of possible problems.

Material grid measurements

Smoke hood - Function

The smoke hood is essential if we do not want to swallow more smoke than roast. But what is a fume hood? It is in charge of collecting the smoke and redirecting it towards the chimney. The more direct and natural this path is, the better the spit will be. The smoke hood rises from the lintel, which is the upper part of the mouth of the grill, to extend up to the chimney. The idea is that its design never obstructs the flow of gases so that the smoke does not escape through the mouth of the grill. Without a well designed fume hood when grilling we would swallow a lot of smoke.

Material grid measurements
Material grid measurements

Fume hood measurements

The inclination of the smoke chamber can be funnel-shaped (pyramidal), frontal (from the mouth to the bottom); or lateral (in the width of the spit). These are the three types of fume hood we could build. The fume hood should start at least 20 to 30 cm higher than the top of the grill mouth. This is because the first few inches will create a small chamber that will allow the smoke to collect until it finds its way up. With the help of the inclination of the fume hood it will be directed towards the chimney and from there to the outside.

Material grid measurements

Grill Lung: Measurements and Shape

The lung of a grill is not well known but it is an element that improves the operation of the draft. The effect it achieves is that the descending air that enters from the chimney bounces and is redirected upwards again. It is done on the bottom of the grill starting in the middle of the grill and ends a little higher than the mouth. The angle that we must give is between 30 ° and 45 ° directed diagonally up and in front of the grill.

Material grid measurements

Fireplaces for Grills

For those who do not know the subject, we clarify that the grill chimney is the conduit through which the smoke and combustion gases escape. For this we will see some of its main characteristics:

  • The materials most commonly used are brick and folded sheet metal.
  • Their ways they are usually square, rectangular or round. Regarding performance, we suggest the round ones, which are more effective since fluids tend to flow in a circular manner.
  • Completions they usually end with a cover that protects the chimney from the rain.
  • Its measures they have to be enough to be able to evacuate the smoke without problems. We suggest using 40 cm on each side if the chimney is square or 40 cm in diameter if it is circular.

Internal Lining

We already know the material grill measures what remains for us to know is the appropriate internal coating for it. The predominant materials are usually fire bricks and common bricks. The difference between the two is usually the cost involved in each and the ability to absorb heat. Refractory brick has the ability to refract heat into the grill but has the disadvantage that it is much more expensive making the choice of these materials out of our budget.

Why use stones to decorate and / or organize the garden?

The stones in our garden They give it a personal style and above all a unique value. That is why it is one of the most chosen elements to decorate gardens throughout the world. Today there are many types of stone available for construction, so it becomes essential to be able to choose the right one for our project. Among its advantages we find that:

  • They need practically no maintenance of any kind.
  • They resist rain and inclement weather.
  • They have greater durability than other elements.
  • They combine different elements making natural and pleasant environments.

Criteria for choosing them

  • Climate: If the climate where we live is very cold, we should lean towards granite stones, even if our temperatures reach below zero, blue stone is ideal.
  • Style: We must take into account when choosing the stone that can adapt to the architectural style that we have in our home.
  • Function: To find out how to make a garden stone path we must first choose the meaning that it will have. If it will be a main road it will have to be designed in a different way than if it is a secondary road in our space.

Order materials and take measurements 

We must calculate the square meters that our walkway will have in order to estimate how many stones we will need. We must first measure and determine the width of our walkway. Then we multiply that number by the length of it, which will give us the total square meters. When we make the purchase with this data, the experts will be able to provide us with accurate information to buy the necessary amount of stones without having to spend more.

Catwalk design

The first thing to do is to place our stones on the surface to verify the spacing. Then we arrange the stones to give it the effect of a natural path. As a general rule, it is usually used that two small stones are placed each one large to give it a pattern. Finally, we must walk over the stones to verify that they are stable and spaced for a comfortable walk.

Prepare the base for the stone path 

We must use a shovel or whatever element we have to work and remove the layer of grass that surrounds the stones. In this case, there are two possibilities: replant grass to surround the stones or fill it with concrete. If you want to see how to make the cement base you can see our free masonry course.

Set and level the stones 

Because each stone has a different thickness, we must adjust and level the stones in our path so that they are at the correct level. If we have a rubber hammer it is ideal for this type of work.

Add a cobblestone border

How to make a garden stone path with stones is something that you already know, but we can use one more element that will enhance our path. In this case, as a decorative ornament, we can make our stone path some edges with cobblestones. In this case we should make a very shallow trench on the sides. Then with a cement mix We adhere them so that they are homogeneous.

Clear the path of stones 

Finally, we must clean the area in which we work. If our purpose is to use a grass path, we can reuse the pieces that we removed from grass to re-plant them. In the case that we use a concrete fill, when it dries we clean its entire surface to leave the finished path. For this there is nothing better than a hose that will leave our garden in optimal condition.

Being able to clean the household taps is extremely important to ensure their proper functioning. Many times, most people tend to ignore this issue and the consequences are usually that the faucet begins to fail due to the accumulation of residues. As we all know today, there are thousands of products aimed at this problem that is a common denominator in homes around the world. However, more and more chemicals are used that are very aggressive. That is why today we share some tricks to clean taps naturally and that they are super cheap. Let's see…

  5. Salt water for your faucet
  6. Bicarbonate of soda
  7. Baking soda and vinegar

Clean the faucet with lemon

Lemon as we all know it is a natural food with many healthy properties, you can even plant it in a cup. However, it is not its only virtue since it is widely used as a companion to cleaning products. To be able to use it in the taps, we only have to cut it in half and rub it on the surface. It is important to do this until the lemon releases all its juice. We leave a moment acting and finally we rinse with water. Lemon is high in citric acid so it helps clean and disinfect in minutes. Even the much hated tartar that builds up.

7 Tricks to Clean Faucets Naturally

White vinegar

It is usually classified as a cleaning product that has several uses. Is that white vinegar has antibacterial properties and acidic compounds that make it the ideal product to remove stains from faucets. To clean taps naturally With vinegar we just have to dilute it a little in water and moisten this preparation in a cloth. Then we have the cloth ready to rub it in the places we want to clean.

7 Tricks to Clean Faucets Naturally

White vinegar with coarse salt

Coarse salt is a widely used element to remove stains and dirt from various surfaces in our home. But if you want to achieve better results when cleaning the taps, you can make a paste with white vinegar and coarse salt. Together these elements are enhanced, achieving a deeper cleaning. Once we have this paste, what we must do is apply it on the surface that we are going to clean and let it act for approximately five minutes. Then we rinse with warm water and we can pass a clean cloth to achieve shine.

Vinegar with flour

Vinegar is magical, we can even combine it with flour to clean taps, especially those made of bronze and brass. Its properties facilitate the removal of lime stains and achieving better cleaning for longer. For this we must make a paste with a tablespoon of white vinegar in a little flour. Then we must rub it through the taps and let it act for five minutes. At the end of this time we rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.

Salt water for your faucet

The combination of water with salt is ideal to clean those splashes on the toothpaste taps and lime stains that accumulate. To do this, what we must do is add 2 tablespoons of salt in a cup of hot water, then we must rub it on our taps with the help of a cloth.

At the end we rinse and that's it, they will be like new.

Baking soda and vinegar

As you have already read, these two components are powerful cleaners but together, achieve a lethal combination for any stain that we have on our faucet. The only disadvantage of this combination is that it works by soaking the objects and not wiping them as we have mentioned. For this we must use:

  • 1/3 of cup of baking soda (40 g)
  • 1 cup of white vinegar (250 ml)
  • 1 bag
  • 1 rubberized wire

What do we do with this?

  • We must make the mixture of vinegar and baking soda in a container. It is important to let it rest for a few minutes as it has an effervescent effect.
  • Then we add the mixture to our bag and put it in the head of our shower. To prevent it from falling, we use the wire to tie it and make it firm.
  • We let our mixture act for approximately three hours, if possible to leave it overnight even better. After this time we brush our taps and it will be shiny.

Modern Quinchos - Fabulous Ideas to Update It

We continue to clarify some doubts from readers and today we share different ideas for modern barbecue, either open or closed. So, if you are interested, do not detach yourself from the screen because we are starting this new entry right now.

Ideas for modern barbecue in our house

Are you thinking of doing a modern barbecue?, if so, you are in the right place. Today our colleagues from Remodel Ideas They share with us different ways to remodel or update this space, as well as new specimens to consider. So, if you have a space in your house that you are not using, this can be a great idea to enjoy time with family or friends ... let's see.

How to design a modern barbecue

The first thing we must take into account is the size, for which, we must ask ourselves how many people are normally or will be in our house, in this space. After this, it is essential to take into account the way in which the guests will move around the table. With this in mind, in the edge should be left a free perimeter of 1,20 meters, which will allow one person to sit and another to circulate behind.

A very common and used idea is to use fences for the barbecue, in case it rains or it is cold. We will leave you some images so that you take into account what we are talking about, but first, we will talk about some models of open modern barbecue and closed.

Quinchos with grills

If you have enough space, a grill for your barbecue will be great, the built-in churrasqueras are usually spacious and with capacity for several people, admitting fuel such as firewood, charcoal, or briquettes.

If, on the other hand, you prefer mobile grills that can be stored, it would be better to get a portable one, so you will use it only when you want and in the space you want. Then you can return it to the place where you got it.

Ideas for closed modern barbecue areas

The closed modern barbecue They are an expensive option but that ensures you can use it all year round. In this case the most common is to use aluminum and glass joinery, and if it is very large, it will be combined with blind panels, brick or some insulating material. The roof is another key: it can be traditional roof tile or make a combination with polycarbonate to allow the entry of natural light.

Quinchos with integrated kitchen

Roasts can become the perfect excuse to build an outdoor kitchen, properly speaking. Because it starts with the idea of ​​putting a barbecue in a modest corner, but then, if there is space, it is also interesting to have a sink, a counter, a table with chairs. This allows you to prepare all your food and cook in one place without having to go back inside.

Modern barbecue with bar

If you don't have the space or budget to put together a whole kitchen outside, you can choose to add a bar. A grill area is often a popular place to have cold drinks while you wait for your grilling masterpiece to finish. A barbecue with bar Simple makes it easy to chat over a few drinks. It also serves as a support place to prepare or remove the meat.

Quinchos in galleries

If you have a large gallery in your house, you can choose to take advantage of that space and build the grill on one of the sides and add a long table.

Small and simple quinchos

Simple barbecue design

Rustic barbecue

A rustic barbecue can be brick or stone, those of brick seen they are the most common. The part of the rotisserie is made with refractory bricks, which resist high temperatures and abrasion. However, the structure can be made with normal bricks. In general, it is an accessible, resistant material that decoratively adapts to any terrace o garden.

Stone is another highly recommended material for construction of a barbecue. It has a high natural resistance to the passage of time and extreme changes in temperature. They can be out in the open for a lifetime and passed from generation to generation. But its main attribute is that, decoratively, they provide a rustic touch that seduces anyone.

Modern barbecue

For the construction of a modern barbecue we can use smoothed cement or microcement, which is usually used in modern barbecue constructions, pulling towards the minimalist style. However, when it comes to the broiler side, firebrick still predominates, unless you opt to install a gas or electric stainless steel grill.
