Q:I just moved into an apartment and want to add an accent wall to my super-bland room. I have almost no money so everything in the room needs to stay the same except for one wall and a new set of curtains. Im not great at picking coordinating colors, so I was hoping someone could help me out:The walls/ceiling/baseboards are cheapo white, the carpet is a kind of cream/beige, and all of my furniture is black with some chrome and grey.Not sure if it matters, but the room is laid out as follows: North wall (will be getting the accent) has a flat panel and tv stand. West wall has a large window (will be getting curtains), my desk, and a book case. South wall has large double-door closet. East wall has my door, bathroom door, and futon.Ive been playing with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer, but I havent been able to decide on anything. Could I get some advice on accent/curtain colors? Thanks!

Hi Steve-O North Wall I would paint Blue. Benjamin Moore has a couple of great colors. Van Courtland Blue HC - 145 or Philipsburg HC - 159 both colors will match your current decor of carpeting, furnishings, etc. Van Courtland blue is a lighter shade grey blue and Philipsburg is a shade deeper but also a Grey Blue mix. Both of these colors will work visually very well with the more modern look as you have described. Paint always seem to dry a shade darker so keep this in mind when you are making your choice. Window Treatments: Grey or Taupe ( a tan-ish grey ) is a good color for window treatments. Choose a plain fabric slide rod top style panel for the finished look that stays within the guideline of your Modern decor theme. You may want to consider adding a third color by adding accent pillows ( 3 is a good number of pillows ) Placed on the couch of either colors of Red or Orange, or Yellow. This adds just a touch of warmth to your apt.

The largest feature of the point-supporting curtain wall is that the various metal members, which are the supporting members, are intentionally and unmaskably displayed as an important part of the whole curtain wall structure, which embodies the relationship between "force" and "beauty" and " And "real" effect.

Q:When was glazed curtain walling first used?

Curtain wall construction came in with the advent of structural steel framing at the end of the 19th century. I have a note here that the Wainwright building in St. Louis, constructed in the 1890s, was one of the first examples.

Q:Can you hang a curtain rod with out making holes in the wall? If so what is it that you use? Thanks

I did it with tension rods inside the window, also I saw in home depot they have some type of bracket that attaches to the inside of the window but gives the impression of a regular rod

Q:How do you know how to corrdinate curtains with wall color? If your walls are a med. light green?

you can do neutral curtains with a 30 inch (or taller) colorband starting at the bottom. for the band pick a color in the same color family as your wall (or furniture or whatever). the best analogy would be think of curtains with a baseboard or wainscoted effect.

Q:Is there a flexible gasket between the column and the connecting body of the glass curtain wall?

As the connection is steel, and the glass curtain wall column steel and aluminum alloy two, so divided into two cases. First, when the column made of aluminum alloy production, the need to add anti-corrosion isolation gasket to prevent electrochemical corrosion; Second, when the column span or because other reasons the use of steel profiles, no need to add this gasket.

Q:I have a throw rug with burgundy, gold and burnt orange in it. The dining room walls are burgundy.

For the curtains I would use a neutral like maybe a slightly darker taupe than the walls, and with a little texture if possible, because it sounds like you already have a lot of color going on in the space and leather doesn't have much texture. I think you should go to a fabric store and look for a patterned fabric that might be good for the pillows- something that would maybe incorporate the burnt orange a little bit more but not clash with the burgundy. A subtle pattern might also do- I wouldn't pick just a solid color pillow because it'll be too much of one thing.

Q:Do the aluminum-plastic curtain wall, drawing design for the 15mm seam, but the party said the glue was too beautiful, query JGJ102-2003 just get the glass of the seam value should not be less than 8mm! I would like to ask: the width of the weathering seam width is not clearly defined? What kind of norms should be given, please give the article! The Thank you

There is no provision. 15mm for the common size. See the structure to determine the form, the general value of 18-16mm plastic. This is the empirical value, construction factor. Can be agreed with the Party. Of course, if it is not a regular curtain wall, you can do 3mm, but this is basically not a curtain wall, and need to consider many factors.

Q:What type of material is more suitable for the exterior wall finishes of a building such as shopping mall?

Most exterior walls are not structural so the same glass walls can be used both inside and out as long as you can deal with the lost of the insulation value of a conventional wall. (They do insulate better than the typical plate glass wall but only slightly (assuming glass blocks). A properly designed glass wall can also be a supporting wall but it is uncommon. Mostly only the mortar and base sealing (they need a low foundation) is the difference between interior and exterior usage.

Q:a peep under the curtain wall analysis!! HELPPPP?

Okay, I have an idea as to what this is and I'm gonna knock it out with my opinion. The wall is the Iron Curtain (coined by Winston Churchill). The man is looking under the wall, because he is curious of what lies beneath or beyond it. The man is running away from the wall, because he is terrified by what he sees: oppression, communism, deprivation, etc. The industry on the eastern side can be described as the social network of communism - the ownership of the factory and the people in it by the government. The tank on the eastern side represents two things: oppression and aggression. It's there as a symbol to remind the people of the East that the Red Army calls the shots and also to be a warning to those of the West that the Red Army is capable and can destroy you (it's a sign of military might). It explains the beginnings of the Cold war; the initial fear of communism and the U.S.S.R.
