Painting projects

Paint can of course be used to paint the walls in your house. This is probably the first thing that pops into your mind, when you think about paint. But there are so many other possibilities with paint we must not forget! Painting can also be done to be creative or to touch up something. All and all, you can have a lot of fun with paint and in this article we will share some of the things that you can do with it.

 

The first project you can devote your time to is painting art. Of course, you will not become a master painter over a couple weeks, but you can take classes or watch tutorials to improve your painting skills. There are a lot of different painting styles, so you should begin by looking at other paintings and find out what styles you do and do not like.

 

Another project can be painting furniture. We live in a society where we buy everything we want. And if we get bored by our brown table and want a white one, we buy one. But that is not necessary! If the table itself is still good, you can just paint it in any colour you want. You can do this by using an indoor paint sprayer. An airless paint sprayer makes the job a lot easier than using old paint brushes and you will end up with a much neater result.

 

Something that many people do not know, is that you can paint your own clothes! You can change your clothes into a colour that is a darker shade. This is very easy, you just put the clothing item in the washing machine, along with the paint that is made especially for clothing. Then you just wash the item and it will change into the new colour.

Walas redevelops Phoenix West in Dortmund, Germany

World of Walas and the German city of Dortmund are joining forces.

Today, Friday 24 August 2018, they announce their collaboration. Walas and Dortmund will engage in the development of Phoenix West. Part of this project are the revitalisation and redevelopment of the former blast furnace of ThyssenKrupp Stahl AG and the historic building called Schalthaus. “World of Walas is proud to announce the redevelopment of the historic Phoenix West area”, so says Gerben van Straaten, CEO of World of Walas. “The Phoenix West project in the historic town of Dortmund is an urban development in the broadest sense of the word”.

At the spot where around 160 year ago the first blast furnace was built, a new vibrant community rises where people live, work and recreate. A place with local enterprises and restaurants. Innovative ideas on technology, services, knowledge, logistics, economy and entrepreneurship will play an important roll. “For Walas, urban development is more then the design of real estate”, Gerben explains. “Urban development brings together activities, wishes and the interest of talented entrepreneurs, craftsmen, scientists, artists AND the city and unites them into a lively and liveable unity that is economical, social, sustainable, ecological and financial.” According to Oberbürgermeister Ullrich Sierau of the city of Dortmund the plans of Walas show that the industrial culture of the Ruhr area and the economic dynamics do not have to contradict each other. “On the contrary, the plans redesign the industrial monument completely,” says Sierau.

New Centre of Excellence for innovation and sustainability

The work on the Phoenix West project start with the building of a new centre of excellence for innovation and technology. The location is in the middle of the old blast furnace. A distinctive feature of the building are the blue solar panels. This feature is why people started calling the design the Blue Wave. The next step in 2019 is the revitalisation of the Schalthaus. The project is completed with the development of a new building called “4th Wave” which is running through the heart of the old blast furnace construction. “The authentic elements accentuate the essence of the city”, says Gerben. “With multiple land use we went to create new diversity around the industrial monument Phoenix West, respecting the history and the DNA of this interesting community. This is the first step into the direction of the fourth industrial revolution.” For Walas this development is not limited to a mere regional development. “The goal is a Centre of Excellence for innovation and sustainability with an international reputation”.

Major advantages Phoenix West, Dortmund

Thomas Westphal, Managing Director of Economic Development Dortmund, who guided the process with his team over the last 12 months, sees major advantages for businesses. He calls the investments of Walas in Dortmund “An important step for the whole of Europe. At the same time, it is a good signal for the region: an industrial monument is being reused and made productive again AND at the same time new jobs are being created.”

Advice on how to create a secure lock environment

There are many good reasons to prevent burglaries as far as possible, and to insure ourselves against material losses, but also against the disappearance or destruction of personal memories. There is a lot to do to reduce the risk of burglary and it is important to know the function and safety level of their burglary protection. The costs are small compared to the consequences that a bad burglary can imply.

Call us to make an appointment to go through your house with the purpose to make it safe and secured against burglaries.

What is an approved locking device?
In order for you to receive full compensation in case of a burglary, the breach protection requirements in terms of insurance and insurance must be met. Any defects may result in loss of compensation for burglaries. Contact your insurance company if you are not sure which terms apply to your home insurance.

However, using the insurance companies’ requirements as a measure of your protection does not necessarily mean that you have adequate protection. Their requirements are a minimum for your insurance to apply. This may mean that you must complete them to get adequate protection, for example, with an approved lock device. It is you who must look about your home.

One should be aware that traditional exterior doors are not classified safety doors, which have been through different tests, and do not match these even if the outside door is fitted with an approved locking device. This can still be recommended as a solution, as it significantly complicates a burglary and, in particular, provides increased security.

Before investing in improved burglary protection, you must also investigate whether the door is stable and has a good function. In some cases it might be best to replace the entire door.

Burglar protection that completes the lock

Lock is an obvious protection against uninvited guests. But there are also a number of other options that protect your business and are a good complement to locks or other security solutions.

We at http://www.locksecure.nl/slotenmaker-utrecht know that the security of a company or property is of paramount importance. Complete locks with other types of burglary protection to deter the thief and prevent damage.

Anti-fouling obstructs the thief

Anti-theft protection is an effective way to keep unauthorized persons away. It seems dissuasive and could be what makes the thief avoid invading your property. A break guard is a profile mounted to cover the gap between the frame and the door. It provides an additional barrier to the thief and is available in several different designs and sizes.

The gallery keeps the thief gone

Galleries are an effective way to stop the thief from breaking into your business. With grille or window grates, you get a real protection against uninvited guests while creating an aesthetically pleasing environment.

Glass reinforcement prevents damage

With glass reinforcement in the form of a protective film on the inside of the glass, you get a stronger glass that prevents and obstructs burglary. It’s an easy and effective way to protect your business.
