When making mosaics, your safety is of paramount importance. You must understand, observe, and apply common-sense safety practices when working with mosaics. Its just good common sense to apply safety practices when working with sharp glass, caustic grout, finishing materials, and various glass cutting tools. Never take shortcuts when safety is a concern.
The following are some basic--but important-- safety tips you should follow when making mosaics.Wear eye protection when cutting or breaking materials for your tesserae, especially when working with glass. Tiny shards can fly in multiple directions when cutting. They can also bounce off nearby objects and fly into your eyes. Eye protection is especially necessary when prying up tesserae to correct mistakes. If the adhesive has cured, the tesserae material sometimes shatters instead of coming up clean when prying it away from the base material.
When it shatters, lots of tiny shards fly everywhere. If you wear vision glasses, putting on a pair of goggles or protective glasses over them can be an annoyance, but don't skimp on safety. Find a type of eye protection (i.e., goggles or safety glasses) that fit over your vision glasses and feel comfortable. Once you get used to them, they'll no longer be a nuisance and your eyes will love you for taking safety seriously.When using adhesives that emit harmful fumes (e.g., solvent-based adhesives), always work in a well-ventilated area.
Don't sit cooped up in your work space with an open container of solvent-based adhesive. Open a window and use a fan, or better yet, do your adhering in an outdoor environment, such as an open and ventilated garage or porch. Read and heed all safety warnings on the product label.Wear a protective mask when mixing grout. This is just as important as wearing eye protection. Don't ignore it! Grout is a cement product. Cement hardens without air and in wet environments. If you breathe in grout particles (i.e., the dust that clouds up when you pour dry grout from the bag into your mixing container), those particles will harden in your lungs.
Not good! Protect yourself by wearing a dust mask. They're cheap and you can get them at any thrift or home improvement store. A 5-pack of white dust masks costs about two bucks, and a single mask can be used many times before clogging. Two bucks is a small price to pay to protect your lungs.Wear protective gloves when working with grout. Cheap rubber or plastic gloves are adequate. Grout is mildly caustic and can cause skin irritations. A box of 200 of the plastic gloves typically used by food handlers costs about five bucks at the local bulk superstore.Don't allow children or pets access to tesserae pieces, which can be cutting or choking hazards.
Bond tiles Manufacturers Teach children and train pets to stay away when you're working your mosaic magic. If your child is creating the mosaic, always provide close supervision and don't leave them alone for a second.When handling cut tesserae, especially glass, be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges or pointy points.Follow proper safety precautions when making mosaics. Don't dismiss the importance of never taking shortcuts with your safety.

Energy efficient strategies used in green building practices
Dallas is taking the lead - once again - when it comes to environmental responsibility. Dallas home builders will soon move toward greener building standards and will become one of the first major US cities to pass comprehensive building standards for both residential and commercial construction.
Dallas city council passed an ordinance on April 9, which is designed to reduce energy and Roofing Tiles Manufacturers water consumption in all new Dallas homes and commercial buildings, thereby reducing the overall environmental impact.
Dallas in the Lead
It comes as no surprise that Dallas has chosen to remain committed to environmental responsibility, as it is currently the number one municipal purchaser of renewable green power in the United States. Dallas also boasts the largest, clean vehicle fleet of any city in Texas and one of the largest in the United States, and was also the only city chosen for the EPAs Sustainable Skylines initiative for improving air quality.
A Green Building Task Force, comprised of members of the residential and commercial development sectors, was created to set new standards for Dallas private development. It was upon the Task Forces recommendations that city council passed the ordinance that will change the way Dallas homes and commercial buildings are built in Dallas in the future.
A Two-Phase Implementation
The ordinance will be implemented in two stages. Starting in 2009, Dallas homebuilders will build their homes to be 15% more efficient that the base energy code, and will need to meet four out of six high-efficiency water conservation techniques, such as installing faucets and showerheads with a two-gallon-per-minute-or-less water flow.
These regulations will apply to all new Dallas homes and commercial buildings which are smaller than 50,000 square feet.
Phase two, beginning in 2011, will require that all new construction meets Roofing Tiles Manufacturers the US Green Building Councils Basic Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) standard or the Green Built North Texas (GBNT) standard. Home builders must aim for a 20% water reduction and a minimum 17.5% more efficiency than the base energy code.
LEED certification offers third-party validation regarding a projects green features and verifies that the building is efficiently operating. City-owned buildings of 10,000 square feet or more in Dallas have been built to LEED standard for the last five years.
Developing environmentally sensitive construction practices, and encouraging both public and private sector involvement, will further showcase Dallas commitment to a better environment.
Why Focus on New Construction?
Building construction and operation require a vast amount of resources. In fact, building design, construction, materials and operation consume more energy than any other part of the economy. Therefore, implementing green building techniques will better utilize these resources, while reducing the environmental impact of new construction.
Green building techniques can be implemented through site design, water efficiency, energy efficiency, conservation of materials and indoor environmental quality.
Energy efficient strategies used in green building practices may include effective insulation, high-performance windows, tight construction and ducts, efficient heating and cooling equipment and energy efficient lighting and appliances.
Green buildings lessen the impact of a structure on the environment and also improve the quality of life for its occupants.

Building an eco friendly home is an endeavor
The concept of green living, while gaining momentum in a modern era, is not new. The ideology peaked in the 1960 70s where individuals now known as hippies devised communes that believed in the reduction of modern product use. The idea was to get back to nature and live off the land.
The paradigm largely relied on people working together as a community and sharing tasks to make the commune work seamlessly. Although few, if any, contemporary communes exist on the level as they did in the 60s, many of the concepts are being embraced in todays time for a number of practical reasons.
Why Build and Eco friendly Home
Everything man builds has a shelf life, including homes. Once we are gone, a home, if it is not kept up, degrades. The materials that the home is built from can harm the environment if they are toxic in any way.
For those who enjoy the earths natural landscapes, skies, rivers and animals, the thought is inconceivable. It therefore behooves those who are interested in maintaining the land to consider green housing.
How to Build an Eco friendly Home

Other tips for green home building include:
Energy and Temperature Control Solar energy is free and can be utilized to keep your home heated and energy efficient. Taking thermal mass into account is one way to maximize this natural resource. Cooling the home could also benefit from thoughtful construction and the location of thermal mass within the home by strategically placing certain rooms deep within the earth. Just keep in mind that these areas will have to be well insulated so temperatures can be controlled and maintained.
Use Recycled Materials economical as well ecologically sound, using recycled materials to accent the home or create foundations is another way to establish an eco friendly home that benefits both man and planet. While many of these recyclables can be purchases, one can also locate prime scrap materials at dumps and construction sites.
Green Building Materials whether you are creating a foundation or setting up the walls, you will need products that keep the eco friendly theme in mind. Items like bamboo, straw bale, stone and mud based creations like adobe can be great for walls, floors and ceilings. Biodegradable papercrete, a re pulped paper fiber filled with clay dirt and a small amount of concrete, is another material that is moldable and lends to more decorative homebuilding, although it is not as green as some may like because of the small amounts of cement.
Wood tiles Suppliers Poured Earth Foundations poured earth is a replacement for traditional concrete and is made up of clay and stones. It is also considered a moderate strength concrete. Although Traditional Tiles Suppliers a sound and reliable foundation base, the materials have to pass engineering standards before they can be considered viable for home building.
Building an eco friendly home is an endeavor that is well worth the effort, and in time, it may become a necessity in terms of protecting the environment as well as human life.
