A cold bridge or a temperature bridge is a section of the building envelope (end of a concrete element, wall joints, etc.) that has a reduced thermal resistance. ⠀
⠀
💢 This can be a joint between structural parts or a structural element consisting of materials with higher thermal conductivity. Such areas are cooled more strongly than other parts of the fence, so they are also called “cold bridges.” ⠀ ⠀
💦 The presence of temperature bridges significantly reduces the effectiveness of thermal protection of the building. Temperature bridges cause condensation ⠀
⠀⠀
❓ What does all this mean? ⠀
And then, dear friends, that an ideal house is a house in which there are no seams or they are very well executed. For example, the insulation is put into a run, and the connection material of the insulation with the wall is made not of metal, but of polymeric fiberglass. ⠀
⠀📍 Also, the joints of the foundation and walls are considered to be zones of the emergence of cold bridges. And also the joints of the roof. ⠀
📍 Doors, windows, loggias and balconies are also the brightest examples of cold bridges. ⠀

The effects of high heat transfer ⠀
⠀⠀
💧If the room loses enough heat, condensation will form on the inner surface of the walls. As you know, dust is most attracted to such a place, so the bridge will be clearly visible even with the naked eye. Following the dust on the wall, mold and fungal microorganisms begin to develop rapidly. It is almost impossible to get rid of it, because even after painting or cosmetic repairs on the renewed surface, mold quickly emerges and worsens the microclimate of the house. ⠀
⠀⠀
Only the complete elimination of the cold bridge will help prevent its occurrence. About how to do this - in the following posts! ⠀

We’ll start to touch upon such an important and relevant topic as lighting a house and a plot! There will be a cycle of interesting posts! ⠀

At night, in the dark, wading into even the familiar areas of the site becomes difficult, and sometimes even traumatic. In addition, the decorative elements created with such trepidation and love by the owner lose their clear outlines. Moreover, at night, the territory becomes more vulnerable to attackers. Well-organized lighting of a site helps to solve all these problems at once. ⠀
⠀⠀
☝ MOST IMPORTANT OF THE LIGHTING OF THE PLOT ⠀
⠀⠀
When organizing a lighting system, it is necessary to take into account many details, so that at night the territory is safe and does not lose aesthetic qualities. The basic requirements for lighting suburban areas are as follows: ⠀
⠀⠀
💡 Lighting should be controlled in a convenient way ⠀
💡 The wiring must be safe. ⠀
It is absolutely necessary to include an RCD and a circuit breaker in the circuit ⠀
💡 all lighting elements must be designed for outdoor use, (bulbs, lamps, switches, etc.) ⠀
must be protected against moisture and dust. The cable is laid in a pipe or protective corrugation ⠀
💡 Since outdoor lighting is used every day - use energy-saving lamps ⠀
💡 It is necessary to illuminate all parts of the site, it is necessary to ensure that all the borders of the site are clearly visible ⠀
💡 The site lighting project is best done together with the landscape design project, so that later cable laying does not destroy the equipped area территорию

🔸 Want cool lighting for your home and land? ⠀

Lighting a suburban area performs several functions at once. For each of them it is better to use a separate type of fixtures. ⠀
⠀⠀
The main types of lighting site::
⠀⠀
💡 General or functional lighting ⠀
It guarantees safe movement around the territory at night, provides light for a good rest in the evening. General lighting fixtures are primarily installed at the entrance, at the garage and at the entrance to the house. And also for lighting garden paths and recreation areas ⠀
💡 Marking site elements ⠀
A special case of general lighting. The main function of the marking light is to highlight some objects, for example, the location of the gate, the boundaries of the parking lot, steps, etc. In this case, you can use small lamps and even “luminous” stones ⠀
💡 Automatic lighting systems ⠀
Increase the security of the territory. Due to the presence of a time relay or motion sensors, one or more lighting elements can turn on when nightfall occurs or when attackers appear in the summer cottage. Similar items can also be used to scare away animals and birds by creating an effect of presence. ⠀
💡 Decorative lighting ⠀
This includes lamps that are designed to decorate and draw attention to interesting elements of the landscape rather than give full light. Such lighting is equipped with alpine hills, ponds, tree crowns, recreation areas, and for this they use LED strips, lanterns, garden figures with built-in lamps, lamps that can shine in different colors, and other elements. ⠀
