Waterproofing Your Floors in 6 Simple Steps

Main

Many homeowners would agree that water damage is one of the worst things that can happen to any part of the home. The cost of repairs alone can be staggering. Unfortunately, water damage is unlikely to be prevented entirely. An alternative to paying for hefty repairs is waterproofing. There are some flooring materials that are naturally waterproof such as karndean flooring which you can get from https://www.ibflooring.com/karndean/. However, if you want to take the extra precaution or prefer to use flooring that is not naturally waterproof, there is certainly a way you can prevent moisture from damaging your floors.

Waterproofing Process

The process which will be explained in detail in this article works for most types of flooring.

Step 1

Start with the base foundation since it will help protect the entire structure from damage. Details on how to waterproof wood will also be discussed. This is a great way to protect wood floors in case you want to use it on bathroom and kitchen floors. Here are the materials you’ll need:

  • Primer
  • Silicone
  • Waterproof agent
  • Waterproofing membrane
  • Paint roller or brush
  • Paint roller tray
  • Knife
  • Caulking gun
  • Vacuum or dust mop
  • Protective gear

Step 2

Clean the area. The first and most important step to waterproofing is cleaning the area. If there is any leftover dirt on the floor, the sealer will trap it indefinitely on the surface of the floor. You can use a dry mop or vacuum to clean the floor thoroughly. If you have wood floors, you must also sand and clean the area before starting the waterproofing process. Make sure that the room is well ventilated. Experts also advise to waterproof floors during warm, dry weather.

Step 3

Use a paint or roller brush to apply the primer. An epoxy, water-based primer is best for this application. Make sure that primer is evenly and thoroughly applied. Let the primer dry for at least four hours.

Step 4

Once the primer has dried, you can start applying silicone on the cracks. The silicone will seal the gaps between the wall and the floor as well as other cracks. Use a caulking gun to apply the silicone. Scrape off any excess silicone with a paint scraper and allow the primer and silicone to dry completely for 24 hours.

Step 5

Apply the first coat of waterproofing. Apply the waterproofing agent using a paint roller or brush. If you are waterproofing wood, you’ll have to use a urethane waterproof sealer. This helps preserve the natural shine of wood floors.

Step 6

Apply a second coat of waterproofing agent after allowing the first coat to completely dry for a day. Once again, allow this to dry completely for 24 hours.

This process is the best way you can waterproof your floors. As an alternative, you can opt for naturally waterproof flooring such as vinyl. Not only is this option more cost-effective, it is also easier to install and a breeze to maintain.

Tech and Kids: How to Successful Manage Your Kid’s Love for Tech Gadgets

Main

Harvey Norman offers the new Nintendo switch in Neon along with other gadgets that your kids will surely love. This is the perfect present for kids for any occasion. They will love it indeed. The challenge now for parents is to manage and impose usage control of gadgets including phone, tablet and other gaming consoles to ensure that kids will still have time to socialize with other kids and of course to study and do their homework.

We are living in a modern world that even little kids are into phones, tablets, computers and other gadgets. You would be surprised how they can easily learn how to operate these gadgets on their own. And once they figured it out, expect them to be glued into these gadgets. As parents, this can be alarming especially when the kids are starting schooling already. You do not want to see them playing online games rather than doing their homework.

In this article, we will share some tips on how to successfully manage your kid’s relationship with their tech gadgets.

  1. Set a curfew for their gadgets – it is advisable to work out a curfew for them to use their cell phone, iPads or other gaming consoles. You can give them 2 hours every day once they are with their homework. Make sure that you are clear that they can no longer use their gadgets after 9pm or time before bed time. Allowing them to use mobile phones or gaming consoles before bed time can greatly affect the quality and quantity of their sleep. They tend to lose out on their sleep finishing a level on their game. So it is best that you keep their gadgets when it’s bed time.
  2. Supervise what they access on their gadgets – Internet has grown to be so big and almost everything and anything is found in the Internet. You do not want your kids watching or reading inappropriate content so it is best you supervise what they can access on their gadget. Check the browser’s history all the time and use your own account so they will be needing your permission before downloading or accessing something.
  3. Make sure they do their homework first before they can play – before you allow them to use their gadgets, make sure that they have finished doing their homework first. You can even use this as a bribe so they become more eager to finish and accomplish all their school stuff early.
  4. Do not allow them to have gaming console and TV in their bedroom – it is best to put your Nintendo Switch or PlayStation in the living room or gaming room rather than your kid’s bedroom. This way, you can stop them from locking up themselves in their room especially during weekends.
  5. Encourage them to play outside with other kids – lastly, it is advisable to encourage them to play with other kids outside rather than spending time alone with their gadgets.

You cannot stop the kids from growing up with new technology but you can do your best to guide them so they can still fulfill their responsibilities and enjoy other things other than tech gadgets. Anything that is too much can be bad so make sure to monitor and supervise your kids when it comes to using these gadgets.

How to Improve the Quality of Your Home

Main

Spring is usually this time of year when we all love to do something around our houses. Spring cleaning is the term we all use to ensure that our homes are in perfect shape after the winter and that we give them a lick of freshness before summer starts. It is a great time to improve some things and to ensure that our homes are in great shape for the rest of the year. Below you will find some ideas on how to improve the quality of your life at home without the fear of doing something wrong:

1. Decide what needs to be done and what should be postponed for later. Many home owners try to do too many things at the same time. What they might not realise is the fact that they might not have enough time to be able to do everything they want to. This is why choosing the more important tasks is so vital to the life of every home.

2. Buy something for your home. It can be something really small, but something that would make all the difference in your home. Look at affordable assets that can give you an idea what your house could benefit from. It is often those little things that make all the difference, and if you additionally know how to make them affordable it is even better news.

3. Try new ideas and keep experimenting with things you have never done before. Checking some house-related magazines might be one way to ensure that you are being exposed to the right sort of trends and things. Don’t be afraid to do something that you have never experimented with before because you might be surprised by the wonderful results that come after it.

4. Enjoy your home. After all, this is your home and it is your task to care about it.
