On the negative side, if you have an entrance into your basement or attic space through the bulkhead, then you will lose square footage in each room because there's less usable space available in them.\r\rThis is why many homeowners leave these bulkheads unopened and permanently sealed off after installation, so they can reap the benefits of insulation without losing any room space.\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":"Is there any reason not to have a kitchen bulkhead?

A stud finder will help you locate the wooden beams on your wall where screws can be inserted into studs for added support. You may even want to invest in a foam cutting tool like a hot-wire cutter if your chosen drywall doesn't come in the desired size already cut.\r\rPlanning is crucial to any bulkhead installation. You'll need to know where you want the bulkhead opening and how big it needs to be before getting started on construction.

It's typically used with multiple layers of aggregate that provide an even surface to drive on without being too rough or sharp to damage vehicle tires or harm passengers inside those vehicles. They're used in and for retaining walls (any retaining walls), parking areas, driveway, etc. It's used to make a strong base, ideal for landscaping, pavers and surrounding areas, hard stands, paths, etc.\r\rMany other types of roads are built atop different forms of material, including dirt which requires regular levelling through grading processes. However, road base can be applied over almost any soil type because its particles bond together by inserting their tiny particle chains into one another like Lego blocks to create strong seams that prevent them from shifting around when disturbed by traffic or torn up during roadway excavation projects.\r\rRoad base gravel is also used in building dams and levees because its rounded edges help reduce the amount of water penetrating its upper surfaces, which can continue to erode downward to create openings for floods over time if not prevented by structural barriers like dams or levees.\r\rThe road base material used for these types of projects is often graded based on how small they are, with gravel typically ranging in size from 4 - 10 millimetres (mm) across and sand particles measuring 2 - 4 mm in diameter. Larger rocks found within road base gravel include stones that range between 16 - 20 mm in diameter, which can be separated out during processing to acquire more pure aggregate qualities without including large expanded spaces inside them.\r\rAny project such as walkways, paving, garden, driveway or multiple driveways, parking areas, hard stands, bulka bags, etc. use this material.","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":"Where does road base come from?","text":"Road base is usually acquired through quarries where natural rock formations are mined so dust can be extracted from the surrounding deposits. Limestone is typically quarried using drilling processes, while basalt's highly resistant surface can be broken off with explosives.\r\rGranite often breaks apart during this process due to the high temperatures generated by friction forces between its mineral components, which are exposed through heating. The material that makes up road base is then ground into small pieces before being separated into different classifications based on their sizes and specific weight measurements.\r\rRoad base gravel isn't classified in a universal way because of the varied types of stone it consists of, but instead by how large each type of particle appears relative to an individual's eyesight after processing it down to manageable sizes. Particle gradations are also used when identifying different types of gravel, with gradations typically ranging from 1 - 8.\r\rThis means that road base with particles measuring 1 mm will include all the particles in the gravel deposit that measure between 0.5 mm and 1 mm in diameter, while a grade 3 gravel would be made up of material between 2 mm and 4.9 mm in diameter.\r\rThe most common grading system is to use number 4 aggregate for roads because its larger size makes it more resistant to wear when subjected to passing traffic over long periods of time during daily commuting schedules.

For instance, gardens and pavers would have different road base demand. The price depends on the type of road base solution so you need to check out the price depending on your requirement. Colour is another thing to take care of.\r\rIf you're building or paving a basic driveway or repairing an existing roadway, you can usually estimate that 10 tonnes per metre (t/m) of road base will be sufficient for complete construction purposes. This means that a 100 m road would require 1,000 t of rock material for its foundation. The width of the road or the width of the driveway should be considered.\r\rThese figures also assume that an average 3-inch thickness is applied for roads and driveways and up to 6 inches may be used for more traffic-heavy areas like highways. The surface of the finished product needs to be taken into account when calculating the amount of road base needed, as well as any additional materials you plan to use for making it.\r\rUsing this estimated figure ensures your project has a sound foundation that will be durable enough to endure heavy traffic loads, but it's still possible to alter the makeup of your road base material based on which aspects you want it to improve. For instance, incorporating a 10 - 15 percent mixture of slag into your road base gravel will give it better freeze-thaw resistance as well as improved abrasion resistance for increased durability during winter months when snow and ice are more likely to accumulate. Get the supply of road base once measuring the required quantity.\r\rAll these factors must be accounted for when choosing how much road base gravel is needed for your construction projects so part of the finished product can perform its purpose in the most effective way possible.

","text":"The main reason why a single transformer is used by manufacturers for lighting is to ensure that the fluorescent tube starts immediately when power is applied. Fluorescent tubes need this initial strike voltage in order to start lighting. LEDs do not. \r\rIf you have existing light fittings or aim to install LED downlights instead of fluorescent tubes then no transformer will be required during lighting since LEDs run on such little power supply, which saves on energy bills for many homeowners. The Australian Government has some great advice on lighting solutions on the energy.gov.au wesbite.\r\rThe only time you would find a noticeable difference is when the switch is turned off and on again or after an extended period of time where LED lights have had their own internal capacitors discharge slowly. \r\rOne other thing to bear in mind is that turning the switch of an LED bulb on and off repeatedly can burn out the LED bulb or shorten its lifespan. The average life of an LED bulb is 20,000 hours – they consume such little power when ambient light levels are sufficient.\r\rDimmable LED downlights allows the adjustment of brightness to suit the mood of your house. The dimmable downlights are suitable for when you need to run LED lamps on low energy consumption, which leads to increased efficiency through lower light output. \r\rGiven the benefits of installing LED downlights, it is advisable to replace any existing halogen light fixtures for minimum wattage. LED downlights require no transformer while the halogen one requires a halogen transformer, along ceiling insulation. Current transformers incur a extra cost and effort, which implies an added advantage that you do not need a transformer with an LED since it has a driver built into its system. LEDs also have a dimming capacity made possible due their unique lighting technologies.","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 difference between an LED driver and an LED transformer?","text":"An LED driver is a device that enables LED downlights to be dimmed. It does not change the voltage and therefore does not use a transformer. \r\rSome LED drivers also come with filters and optoisolators (devices that allow communication between circuits while preventing unwanted electrical noise) which help reduce interference. \r\rLED drivers can be powered by either AC or DC voltages and are made for indoor and outdoor use. \r\rThe LED drivers are designed to control a single circuit (e.g. one chain of lights) using multiple LED downlights so you may need more than one LED driver if you wish to control several circuits in parallel.\r\rA LED transformer is used to step down the voltage from 230V mains power to 12V, 24V or 120V (for fluorescent tubes). \r\rLED transformers only have two hard wires – an input hard wire and output hard wire(s). If you want more than one circuit on a LED transformer then it requires a device called a multi-tap which enables multiple outputs from a single LED transformer.

If you do not know how to install downlights, then seek expert assistance from a registered electrician.\r\rElectrical safety should always be your first priority if you choose to install or replace the bulbs yourself. For example, installing the bulb is generally simple and takes less than 30 minutes but there are still risks involved in changing any electrical fittings let alone installing new ones. \r\rFor example, lighting problems can often arise when trying to work out what wires go where, or the right place to plug in the wires, so ask an expert if you have any doubts. A good electrician will test for power supply before touching anything, use the correct tools (e.g. wire strippers) and always wear rubber gloves and closed-in shoes or boots while doing electrical work for safety and efficiency.\r\rOnce the installation is done, test the efficiency by turning on the switch. Some people use a plug to connect the LED lights to a source of energy. Some challenges arising from poor wiring or poor circuitry include dimming and flickering lights. This could be caused by a higher voltage or much less power in the halogen lamps, or in LED lamps that do not have an LED driver. This can be controlled by ensuring the power supply is compatible with the LED lamp or halogen lamp.
