LED,
short for “light emitting diode”, is a kind of solid light-emitting
semiconductor device. It can emit colorful lights with solid semiconductor chips
as luminescent materials. LED products are high-tech products making use of LED
as light source.
LED is
known as lighting source IV with the advantage of energy conservation, long
operating life (35,000 h-50,000 h), environmental protection, small volume, etc.,
which is widely used in such fields as indication, display, decoration,
backlight, illumination, etc.

Have
you ever been bored with those old items in your home? If you have, don’ t
bother changing new ones. Just decorate them with mosaic décor and be creative
about making use of those unimpressive stuffs around you, such as some
abandoned CDs, glass tiles, stones, etc. Use those stuffs in variant colors and
funny shapes that will make your old tables or chairs look new and chic. Only
with a little effort can you make your home full of art. Next, I will show you
how to DIY a work of art in your home.
1. Find
some beautiful pieces of glass tiles, stones, seashells, CDs, or anything else
that you have. You can decorate your tables, chairs, mirrors or flowerpots with
those stuffs. But you shall make sure to pick a strong foundation to stick
those glass tiles(or other stuffs) so that it can hold the weight of them.
2. Select
a pattern you like to make into a mosaic. You can design one with your imagination
or choose one available online. As a beginner, I suggest you may start from a
simple pattern.
3. Draw
or print out the pattern you need and place it on a flat surface. You can use a
hammer or other tools to break glass tiles into pieces and make sure that the
pieces of glass tiles are clean of any dirt. Then roughly lay them as the
pattern.
4. According
to the recommendations of the manufacturer, mix mortar and apply it to the base
with a trowel or other tools. You shall put the glass tiles into the mortar
before it dries out. Apply those glass tiles piece by piece from one corner of
the pattern. And be sure that you have left enough space between pieces for
grout. Clear away the extra mortar on the mosaic tiles after the mortar is
congealed.
5. Mix
the grout. There are many colors that you can choose to add into the grout and
select one that will make your mosaic stand out. And apply it with a spatula to
the spaces between the glass tiles until it fills the creases.
6. In
order to clear away the grout on the surface of the mosaic, you shall wipe it
with a clean towel and warm water. Then coat the mosaic with varnish which will
protect it from damage and will also make the glass tile shine out in the
sunshine.
When
we mention the intelligent equipment, kitchen and bathroom are more likely to
be ignored. Sink faucets may be one of the most unimpressive home supplies in
our home and we believe that most of people only care about the material and
valve quality of the faucet. In terms of the technology in those products, they
may never expect a surprise.
However,
since the internet of things technology has penetrated
into every aspect of our home, transforming the unnoticeable sink faucet
through the high technology is an inevitable choice. Some of them can help you
save water, and some can keep the proper water temperature. In brief, they are
really attractive.
The first product is an
intelligent sink faucet used in kitchen from Grohe. We have to touch the
kitchen faucet everyday, which has become a customary mode in our daily life. But
the Minta Touch sink faucet brings a new experience for people when touching
the faucet. A kind of electronic device can be activated by touching any part
of the faucet in stead of the traditional lever principle. Except for the
unique aesthetic design, the best advantage of this sink faucet is its hygiene.
Our hands often become very dirty in the process of cooking, but this faucet
can guarantee its cleanliness.
Hansgrohe enjoys the equal popularity with the Grohe, also from Germany.
The series of Axor Starck is not only beautifully shaped, but also can be
supplied by built-in battery. It can also control the precise temperature.
- Pfister sink faucet with automatic sensing
The latest product of Pfister even need not any body contact. As
long as you stand before the sink faucet, it will flow.
The motion sensor of fast reaction has embedded in this sink
faucet, combined with the technology of Selia Touch-Free Kitchen Faucet, which
can detect if there are people before it quickly. Besides, the adjusting knob is
designed on the sink to control the water temperature. Those who don’t like
control the faucet manually can also choose the system automatic sensing to
adjust the water temperature and current.
- iWash intelligent concept sink faucet
Hand-washing is a good habit for basic personal hygiene, even
though it cannot be more common in our daily life. But do you really believe that
you have cleaned your hands? Even if you wash your hands frequently, many
adults still wash up carelessly for all kinds of reasons and will not pay much
attention to this. So this iWash concept sink faucet can visualize bacteria
when you wash your hands, thus realizing the importance of the hand-washing.
iWash seems to have little difference from the ordinary sensing
faucet, except its shape change into a big disc like a sprinkler. A built-in
digital microscope can help you visualize the form of the bacteria from the
upper screen when washing. If there are too much bacteria recognized, then the
system will indicate red LED light; if the number of bacteria is reduced to the
normal level after washing, the LED light will turn to green and the screen
will also become transparent, reminding you have cleaned your hands up,
otherwise it will remind you to wash again.
Conclusion:
As an
old saying goes: ”Details reflect the quality of life.” Such kitchen & bathroom
accessories as sink faucets can be full of technological content, which will
not only bring more convenience for our life, but also save energy and protect
environment. Isn’t it worthwhile to spend a little more money on those products
with high technology?

LED
mirrors have walked into the ordinary families gradually and it not only meets
the basic requirements, but also brings aesthetic feelings. But do you know
about its development? I will show you in the following.
In the
ancient time, human didn’t have mirrors. They can see their own figure only by
the help of the quiet and clear water surface. Later, ancient people found a
kind of stone named “obsidian” through which they can look themselves after
rubbing it down, and this is so-called “stone mirror”.
About
3000 B.C., ancient Egyptians mastered the production technology of bronze. Meanwhile,
they also found that the bronze plate can be used as mirrors after polishing.
In
1508, Italian glaziers---Dal Caro brothers developed the practical glass mirror
successfully. They first paste the tinfoil on the glass, then pour the mercury,
a kind of liquid metal, which can dissolve the tin well. And a thin layer of
alloy of tin and mercury(“tin amalgam”) is formed in this way. The tin amalgam
can closely stick to the glass, thus the glass mirror is created.
However,
it is too much trouble to make mercury glass mirrors which need take about one
month’s time to make them. Besides, mercury is poisonous and the mirror surface
is not bright enough, so people managed to improve it. In 1843, German
scientist ---Liebig invented the silvered glass mirror. The bright layer in the
back of this kind of glass is not smeared or electroplated, but coated by the
help of a special and interesting chemical reaction---“silver mirror reaction”.
In order to enhance the durability of this mirror, a layer of red protective
paint is usually applied on the silver layer.
In
1970s, the aluminum glass mirror is invented in the following method: evaporate
the aluminum to congeal the aluminum steam on the glass, forming a thin layer
of aluminum coating. This kind of mirror is much cheaper and more durable than
the silver mirror, which opens a new page in the history of the mirrors.
Now
with the development of the high technology, LED mirrors begin to gain more
popularity in the daily life. The LED mirror, which combines the neat design
with concealed light fittings, is a really a beautiful way to enhance the bathroom.
As we
all know, mirrors can help us to enhance the sensation of light and space in a
room, so it will give us a dramatic contemporary upgrade by combing those
qualities with the sophisticated LED technology. And maybe this is the reason
why the LED mirror is created.
Mirrors
for bathroom have been a key innovator for over centuries. People continuously pursue
fresh arrival of mirrors that are equipped with or without the advanced LED
technology. And I wonder what the next high-tech mirror would be like.
The
pictures of LED mirrors come from http://www.decoraport.ca/english/bathroom/mirrors/led-bathroom-mirrors.html,
and more products in www.decoraport.ca
1.
Weight
The
heavier the better. Ordinary one-piece toilets are about 25kg and the good ones
are about 50kg. The heavy one-piece toilet with high density is usually
superior in quality. As for simple method for testing the weight of it, you can
take up the tank cap to weigh its weight in your hands.
2.
Water outlet
The
one-piece toilet with one sewage hole is the best, but the number of many
brands' sewage hole is about 2-3 (according to different caliber), affecting
the impulsive force to a large extent. The water outlet in the washroom can be
divided into down drain and horizontal drain, so you shall measure the distance
from the center of the lower water outlet to the wall after the tank, then buy
the one-piece toilet of the correct model to match the distance, otherwise, the
toilet cannot be installed. The water outlet of the toilet with horizontal
drain shall be of the same height with the horizontal water outlet(or the
slightly higher height would be better), which can guarantee the unblocked
sewage discharge.
3.
Caliber
Sewage
pipes with large caliber and glazing internal surface are less prone to stick
dirty. In addition, the one-piece toilet of this kind can blow off the sewage
quickly and powerfully, preventing the block in an efficient way. Testing
method: put your hand in the outlet of the one-piece toilet, the one can hold
your palm is the best.
4.
Tank
It is
not easy to realize the leakage in the storage tank of the one-piece toilet
unless there is obvious dripping sound. The simple checking method is to drop
blue ink into the tank and to check if there is blue water leaking out from the
toilet after mixing up. If yes, it indicates that the toilet is damaged. It is
good to recall here that the tank's height of the toilet, which is relatively
high, usually has a strong impulsive force.
5.
Flushing
The
flushing way really matters. And it can be classified into wash-down type,
rotary siphon type, vortical siphon type and siphon-jet type. Furthermore,
choosing different drainage way shall also be noted: wash-down type, siphon
wash-down type and siphon vertical type, etc. The water injection amount of
wash-down type and siphon wash-down type is about 6L. They are superior in
sewage discharge but produce large sound when flushing; while the swirling type
has a good mute effect but demands great water consumption.

Mosaic
is a good choice for home decoration. Tracing back to the age of ancient Greek,
it became popular in the ancient Rome from when it became the favorite of the
elegant people. Now, mosaic has changed its image as a coarse construction
material into a symbol of the luxurious arts. And many small pieces of mosaic
can bring people infinite imagination and creation spaces.
A layer pattern
of flower is put on the back of the plat transparent glass. From the front
side, it looks like ceramics and from the side view, it is transparent. Glass
mosaic tile, which can also be short for glass tile, has bright colors, but
also possesses the obvious features of fragile and bad heating - shock.
Glass tile is
widely used in the swimming pool, science and technology museum, theater,
television tower, kindergarten, amusement park, bathroom, bars, clubs, etc...
Its glowing effect is more prominent, especially when surrounding environment
is dark at night and in the application on wall or floor of indoor.
In the process of design and construction, after the light of fluorescent lamps is shed on the building, it will be glittering like translucent jades, tranquil and secret, which adds supernormal mysterious color and infinite romantic emotional appeal for the building itself in the darkness.
It is made of
natural stones by special technology without any colorful chemical dyestuff.
Compared with glass tile，
it is bad in
waterproof, acidic-resistant and alkaline resistant.
It is applied a
layer of uranium on the surface of the ceramic body, equaling to a small piece
of tile. In contrast with the glass tile, It can be made in different
glossiness and different colors, with the advantages of the ceramic, such as
high strength, well obdurability and heat shock resistance, and it owns the
damp proof, waterproof, wear-resisting features and it is easy to clean, which
is mostly used in the outside wall, kitchen and bathroom.
It has high hardness and strength, well light-protection and
finish, it is brighter but it must be prevented from scratching, and it is more
expensive than the glass tile.
It has smooth touch feeling, so it is closer to nature. After
cutting, shaving, dyeing with special technology and waxing, nature shell is
made into the shell mosaic with the high light-admitting, environment-protecting
and colorful features.
