Terraces  are very important places within a home. It is very important that it has a cover so that people can be protected from both the rain and the sun, and polycarbonate roofs are ideal, due to their  resistance, beauty and durability ; they come in varieties of shades which are what determine the amount of sunlight these surfaces will get. What are polycarbonate roofs? They are sheets made of a soft, resistant material that can be easily molded, allows sunlight to pass through without being abrasive and adapts to all types of decoration as they are available in a variety of colours. They are very useful for any season as they provide protection on both rainy and sunny days. Types of polycarbonates for roof installation Ribbed polycarbonate sheets:  they are characterized by being very durable and high protection against solar rays. Smooth compact:  they are sheets of a thermoplastic material that can be cold bent, easy to cut, work and install. Cellular polycar...

The hose leveling technique consists of transporting or passing reference  points to level  a surface using a transparent plastic hose filled with bubble-free water and any remaining dirt. Steps to perform leveling with hose A hose of approximately 10 meters is used, which is connected to a water faucet and filled almost completely. To execute this procedure, we explain the steps to follow: Preparation of the hose The hose is filled with water and a space of around 10 to 15 centimeters should be left between the edges of the water and the ends of the hose. Determine the starting point A mark is made one meter above the floor; the edge of the water contained in one end of the hose is brought close to the marked point. Then another person will take the other end to the new point, where the ends of the hose are left free and the water will try to reach its natural level. Level with the hose Then, the water edge of the hose is matched with the starting point until the wa...

When choosing what roof to use for our houses, we must consider different elements like the type of material, the weather conditions of the area, the durability, the aesthetic, the resistance, and heat insulation. We have to take this precaution since it is what will keep our houses protected. There are a various materials to create roof, in Construcciones Yamaro we will tell you about them: 1. -  Metallic roofs : These are the most common, and they are created with galvanized steel with a coverage of a zinc and aluminum alloy. It has great durability, energetic efficiency, it is easy to install, and offers a great resistance to fire. Nowadays, you can find various designs with shapes that resemble traditional tiles while some others with shapes like panels; these have the disadvantage of not being able to resist strong winds. 2.-  Concrete roofs : Created with a mixture of concrete and reinforcement fibers ...

An apartment has no specific space to enjoy small reunions with friends and relatives out in the open, but if you are lucky enough to have a balcony, you will have an extra space with natural light. However, there is a downside because it does not grant you any privacy. It is not a good idea to shut this space down with some walls and a small window since it will interfere with the flow of air. There are several ways to enjoy a balcony and to have some privacy while you are at it, and Construcciones Yamaro gives you some ideas to do so: 1. -  Bamboo blinds : Bamboo is an ecofriendly element so is excellent for the environment, which is ideal to give a natural touch to this area . Bamboo blinds are easy to set because this is a light and flexible material. It will give you privacy and it will create a barrier to block sunrays, thus giving freshness to the rooms. 2. -  Plants : They are a great idea if you p...

Constructions demand materials that resist every climate condition so buildings are safe , among those material we can find steel. Iron was the first metal used as the structure for sustainable constructions, alongside its different forms. At first, it was used as part of a melted element, and little by little, tubular cylinders were introduced to grant beauty and elegance to the current metallic structures.      Steel is one of the main material used in modern architecture and in constructions of great importance.  Construcciones Yamaro  points  some advantages  this material has that makes it so important: 1. -  Homogeneity : Steel is a material that does not deforms or alters its physical or mechanical properties with time. 2. -  High Ductility : The ductility is a property, which allows a material to resist and tolerate alterations that cause tensions. Steel possesses...

Just as it is so important to have the right material when in a construction site, so it is to the keep the structure in perfect condition so it remains in time. In our everyday, we perform a series of activities that might cause humidity on walls; this affects the structure and the people living in it. Humidity  creates fungus and mold that cause infections and allergies, which, in turn, creates respiratory affections if not treated on time. It also produces bad smell, the painting on the wall falling and from the frieze, and even damaging the floors. This happens due to the many activities we do on our everyday like taking a shower, the vapor produced when we are cooking the food, when we are doing the dishes and doing the laundry, when hanging the clothes, and when ironing the clothes. All these activities produce humidity in our every spaces. Little or no ventilation, the inadequate position of the air con...

One of the most important features when building is to have the suitable surface for it and although it looks easy, choose the most suitable land which is actually more complicated than just decide in full view. It takes specialists and correct equipment to determine if the surface that we think ideal, is the best to build. There can be elements that affect the support bases or the health of both workers and future users . Therefore Armando Iachini, president of Constructions Yamaro brings us the best tips to know if a terrain is ideal to build: Orientation The orientation is extremely important for proper lighting and temperature control , the most appropriate orientation being the one to the south and west , as it is the direction that has better lighting and a regular temperature , unlike the northern that loses heat and the eastern that produces more heat and sun resolution in the mornings unnecessarily. Site security This includes on the groun...
