Rooms
A house is made up of many components.
Structure
Foundations
Residential properties have foundations to stabilize the building.
On top of this, cinder blocks are placed to create the perimeter foundations.
Alternativetypes of foundationsinclude crawl space foundations and basement foundations.
Frame
The frame is essentially the bones of a house.
Roof
Theroofof any property has the very important job of keeping water from getting inside the building.
Fiberglass roofs are also a growing trend in the construction industry for flat roofs.
This is a waterproof material that is shaped around any edges or corners to provide additional protection against moisture.
The electricity comes from the power company and into the propertys electrical panel or breaker box.
The electrical wiring ends at outlet sockets, which are fitted at various points in each room.
Electric also powers hot water systems in most homes.
Plumbing
The plumbing system in a home comprises supply lines and drain lines.
Supply lines are pressurized so that water rushes out of plumbing fixtures such as faucets and showers.
Drain lines have the opposite job of supply lines and carry water away from the property.
These types of pipes in a home are generally made with white plastic PVC pipes.
HVAC
HVAC is short for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Windows and Doors
Windowsare made up of a frame, glass, and a sill.
They are based outside of a house and serve to improve the exterior looks of a house.
Flooring will be put on top of the subfloor and either glued, nailed, or stapled into place.
Laminate flooring is a good alternative that gives the look of hardwood with a lower price tag.
Fascias and soffits are fitted behind the guttering and underneath the eaves of a property.
Modern homes most commonly have fascias and soffits made from aluminum or vinyl for easy cleaning and low maintenance.
The drywall can then be primed and painted to suit the interior style of the property.
A freshly painted room looks clean and finished and gives the impression of a well-maintained home.
