The lamp's ballast factor is a number that is usually between 0.70 and 1.2.\r\rThe ballast factor is calculated based on the lumen output of a lamp ballast, as well as the output of a reference ballast using the same lamp.

Your choice depends on your situation. \r\rThickness: The thickness of the paint layers also influences the dry time. Sometimes, while ensuring that the initial colour on the wall is covered perfectly, a coat may end up becoming thick and as a result, takes a longer time than usual to dry. \r\rWhen painting, at least two coats of paint is recommended for better results. Reasons are; a coat on a wall is just like a sketch on paper i.e uncompleted, not full, or solid. Oftentimes, to get the colour you want, you have to apply 2 - 3 coats of pains. There are two reasons to stick to this recommendation. \r\rDurability: paints with 2 or more coats last longer than a single coat painting. Generally speaking, a new home with 2 or more coat painting lasts +10 years while a coat painting barely lasts 4 years before it starts fading or looking rough. \r\rMaintenance: The most time-consuming and tedious period is when applying the first coat.

Square set cornice comes in a square shape, while the cove cornice has a more curved look to it with triangular, semi-circular or segmental pediments.\r\rThe other difference between the square set and cornice is the material used in making these two types of cornices. The square set cornice is made from solid stock such as plywood, MDF and particle boards, while the cornice uses wood veneer such as MDF and plywood and solid surface materials like Corian. \r\rIn addition to that, the square set cornice is attached directly into the frame of the door while a cove cornice is most often fixed on top of a set square.\r\rThe square set gives a good modern finish to where the ceiling and wall meet and can be finished by a metal internal angle. Also, it is often more expensive and labour intensive than most cornice options. Square sets also require more sanding and setting. Cut the metal internal angle to the desired length, then staple before applying sand and the final coat. \r\rThe main use for these two types of cornices is decorating your walls and ceilings. Unlike simple skirting, cornices can be installed to provide a finishing touch to a modern new house or building. The edge banding or plywood overlap is most often used in commercial projects where appearance matters more than anything else, and does not bear much load. In modern residences, especially doors that lead out to decks and porches, it’s common practice to use solid stock for a square set cornices to suit your modern square edge look since you can paint them any colour you want depending on your design theme or décor. It also works great when the door has an overhang because it will match perfectly with the door's shape.\r\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What does a square set mean? ","text":"A square set is a name given to the corner of a door or window that extends out further than the rest of the opening. It is usually about 1/2 inch long at its shortest and 1 1/4 inches long for it to be noticed. A square set is the only other alternative finish to a cornice. The square setting is meant to create an appealing look by adding detail to your door or window’s design while also helping with the flow of your interior décor when it’s time to paint walls within your home.\r\rFor doors leading outside, the square set is ideal because you can use any type of finish without worrying about matching, which makes patching up nicks and scratches easy-peasy anytime they happen. Ensure your plasterer instals skirting boards to prevent the plaster from cracking where the sill meets the plasterboard. With windows, especially picture windows, a square setting ensures that your window is covered from those pesky drafts that come in through the cracks! For more detail, add curtains that graze the edge of the skirting.\r\rA cornice creates amazing features for your building, giving it a minimalist look and adding some style and edge to your house. However, In addition to adding depth, a square set ensures a proper seal where your wall and ceiling joins meet giving protection from outside elements. A board at the top of the room covers the point where the plasterboard on the walls meets the plasterboard on the ceiling. The point of a square set is to create style and minimise air leaks, and it’s a great feature for homeowners with heating and cooling issues as it helps with keeping your energy bills down during those winter months. It also helps keep insects off the inside of your home by allowing you to close up all the way, which means no bug gets into your house without an invite. Regarding design, they can be installed then painted or stained for style, just like any other piece of furniture to match your interior décor.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What is the shadow gap?","text":"A shadow gap is a small space between window or door panels of a house with a square set. This term was originally used to describe the space between two pieces of MDF boards cut at 90 degrees with another piece of material placed on top. Shadow gaps can be used instead of skirting boards and allow movement between the floor and wall.\r\rWith today’s technology, most doors and windows are manufactured using multiple layers that help reduce sound through the insulation with a secondary layer for privacy and an outer layer that can be painted any colour you like.\r\rThe best way to diagnose the shadow line that remains is by looking at the profiles from inside, which should be a tight fit between the door and jamb to avoid rough edges. If there isn’t much of a shadow line left, then it’s safe to assume that your project does not require this feature and instead, you can use them for style and decorative purposes.

It usually features inside angles of 45 degrees, and the top angle will sometimes vary depending on what type of moulding it is. This type of moulding often sits above chair rail trim, cabinets or even window frames of a room due to their design. If you have an older home, then chances are that your upper walls feature this type of moulding along with smaller versions at the bottom of your wall as well. The oldest ones were made from real wood, but today, a plasterer is likely to use those made from MDF with a veneer finish making them more durable and easy to paint over when needed.\r\rIf you want to add depth and character with crown moulding, then a gyprock cornice or even a valance works perfectly since it offers a lot of versatility along with style. You can also use either imitation or real wood, although the most popular type is MDF with a veneer finish. It features inside angles of 45 degrees while featuring an outside angle ranging from 15-30 degrees depending on your design.

There is a wonderfully eclectic clientele from retirees, doctors and nurses (only couple minutes from Townsville Hospital), along with singles, holiday makers (across the green is Riverside Tavern offering good quality accommodation), plus Riverside walk and bikeway explorers, plus mountain bike park riders.\nStaff make it their business to ensure everyone is happy and Covid safe, and attended to promptly. Dogs welcomed in the outside dining area with heaps of shade are also given a doggie treat. How good is that simple touch.

I checked Mansell’s Caloundra website and called the number listed and got the Mackay plant only 10 hrs drive away. I asked if he could email me one through however, this was not possible as Mansell’s don’t have a digital copy of their colours. I rang through to Kunda Park batch plan and the manager said pop on in and grab a colour chart and assure me he would be there until 5pm. So I drove from site at Beerwah 45 mins to the plant only to find that the batch plant managers had both left work early. I then tried the Mansell’s head office surely a multi million dollar business would have colour chart brochures available. No! The plant manager finally called me back only to say he wasn’t on site and suggested I take photos of their front wall.What a joke"}},"ReviewAsset:cko9cqfk2000a08mj9juq0yjg":{"id":"cko9cqfk2000a08mj9juq0yjg","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"cko9cqfgv000808mj3jqaflol","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/cko9cnaq0000008mf8uji1k01/cko9cnaq0000108mf3k9s9ac5","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":5,"displayName":"Glenn Lake","message":"Excellent jobs removing 2 small annoying dents to my car. \nHighly recommended work and quickly repaired at a reasonable price."}}}
