Why Is A Water-Based Concrete Sealer Best For Your Home?

There was a perception of them being fragile compared to solvent-based sealers and would wash away in the first storm. Water-based concrete sealing Melbourne used to have a bad reputation.

However, the new advancements in technology have changed it all.

With the ability to withstand hot tyres, rain, UV rays, oil, salt, grease, and many other common home pollutants, water-based sealers may now provide your stone and concrete projects with the same level of protection as any solvent-based sealer.

Also, they provide you with a number of advantages that other solvents don't.

We will discuss the advantages of these sealers in a while and also the reason for using them.

But first, let's understand the big difference between the two sealers.

Difference Between The Two Types Of Sealers

You will be familiar with the "odour" of solvent-based concrete sealing Melbourne if you have ever used them.

The odour you can smell is the solvent evaporating out of the sealer into the atmosphere. These solvents release gasses called Volatile Organic Compounds, which harm the environment.

Alternatively, water-based sealers have almost nil solvents, meaning they are much healthier for the environment.

VOCs have been known to leave people with various health issues like asthma, eye irritation etc.

The risk of these health effects from VOCs depends on many factors:

Amount of solvent present in the sealer

Time spend in its proximity

Pre-existing health conditions

How much fresh air can flow through the area you're sealing?

The significant distinction between water- and solvent-based sealers is that the latter emit very little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere.

Below are other benefits of using water-based sealers.

5 Benefits Of Water-Based Sealers:

Tough And Durable

As was noted at the beginning of this blog, water-based concrete sealers are now just as effective at protecting concrete as their solvent-based equivalents. They can endure any challenging outdoor conditions.

They will also shield your concrete or stone from spilt oils and chemicals, as well as UV rays, traffic, grime, and water.

They Are UV Resistant

Nothing is worse than a brand-new poolside that starts to fade, crack, or turn an unsightly yellow. Water-based sealers are entirely transparent to UV radiation.

Easy To Apply

To apply a water-based sealer for you, you don't need to hire an expensive, specialised contractor. You may accomplish this quickly and simply on your own.

All you have to do is to spray or sweep the sealer onto the desired area.

They Give You Better Coverage

Water-based sealers can cover a greater surface area with the same amount of product because they are diluted. In general, water-based sealers will increase your coverage by 10% to 20%. This reduces the cost of your sealing project slightly.

They're Non-Toxic

This really is the most significant advantage of using a water-based concrete sealer. Besides being great for you, your family, and the environment, they're also non-flammable and less hazardous during transport.

Takeaway:

Through this blog, we wish to divulge the benefits of using water-based sealers for all your concrete sealing Melbourne needs so that you can seal your property in an environmentally friendly and safe way.

Don’t Let Me Fall, Chapter 9

A/N Here is the next chapter of my crazy circus story. Sorry for leaving readers hanging off that cliff for longer than intended. Hopefully this installment makes up for it. The end of this fic is now in sight, and I can confirm it will have eleven chapters. Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments and support!

All previous chapters can be found here.

He’d been injured enough times in his rambunctious youth to recognize the smell of a hospital before he even opened his eyes. Sticky eyelashes clinging together, his first sight was of a light blue bed curtain and the uniform squares of ceiling tiles. His memory was a bit slower to focus as he tried to recall what country he was in and what he’d done to deserve urgent medical care this time.

“The king of the jungle awakes.”

The voice held an American drawl and came from a middle-aged black man wearing a white coat and a stethoscope around his neck.

“Where am I?” Jamie rasped, his throat dry and tight. He had no recollection of being in the United States.

The doctor’s vaguely amused expression turned concerned.

“You don’t remember what city you’re in, son?”

Jamie thought hard. He’d gone home to Scotland to attend his niece’s baptism. Jenny had harangued him about giving up his ‘jet setting lifestyle’ and settling down with a worthy lass. He’d missed Claire something fierce but returned to Australia conflicted whether it was a good idea to pursue a relationship with her while they were still performing together. The internal debate, together with a wicked case of jetlag, had kept him up at all hours. After another near-sleepless night, he’d come to the realization that life was too short to waste time worrying about unforeseeable consequences. He’d resolved to make his intentions towards his Tourist clear at the first opportunity. And then he’d fallen from the straps.

“Melbourne?” he replied to the doctor with some uncertainty, his brain still foggy with what he now recognized as pain medication.

“That’s right. I’m Doctor Abernathy, your orthopedic surgeon. Besides being a bit groggy, which is understandable, how are you feeling?”

Jamie did a mental inventory of his body. Even partially numb, his left shoulder felt a bit tender.

“My shoulder aches a wee bit,” he confessed.

“Yes, we had to reset the joint, but once the swelling goes down, it should be good as new.”

Relieved, Jamie closed his eyes. He didn’t cherish the notion of missing any shows, but that was what they had understudies for.

“How long a’fore I’m able to perform again?”

The silence stretched on long enough for him to re-open his eyes. The doctor’s lips were tightened in a grim line. Now that his mind was beginning to clear, the fact that he was being monitored by a surgeon didn’t bode particularly well either.

“James, I’m not going to lie to you, the damage that I’m seeing on the x-rays and MRI of your wrist… I’ll do my best to repair the bone so that you regain full use of your hand, but given the nature of your work…”

Jamie glanced down at his right wrist, only now realizing that it was immobilized with a neoprene splint. It had been bothering him something fierce for the past few weeks. Roland had diagnosed it as a mild strain and applied a numbing cream before each show. Jamie hadn’t mentioned it to Claire because he didn’t want to worry her and because most of the time he spent in her company he was fighting the urge to kiss her until the seas ran dry. Now he was being told that he’d never soar through the air with her in his arms again due to a hereto unheard-of ailment that had apparently pulverized the bone in his wrist to dust.

“Listen, I know it’s a lot to take in,” Doctor Abernathy continued after going over the medical details of his condition and treatment plan. “I’m going to schedule your surgery for the day after next. In the meantime, there’s a young lady in a skimpy outfit haunting my hallways and making a general nuisance of herself. Can you take pity on the nursing staff and let me show her in?”

Despite the circumstances Jamie smiled.

“Aye. I’d like that verra much.”

***

I didn’t like hospitals. All my life, they had been the scenes of painful events: the grainy memory of my parents’ deaths, my Uncle Lamb wasting away from cancer, and more recently a career-ending injury.

As soon as I was able, I had rushed from the big top and grabbed an Uber to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The Cirque medic assured me that Jamie’s life was not in danger, but I couldn’t erase the nauseating wallop of his body hitting the stage from my mind. I needed to be submerged in the oceans of his gaze, watch a grin transform his mobile mouth like a rogue sunbeam. When he held my hand in his own, I would know everything was alright.

Upon arriving at the hospital, I was told Jamie was undergoing x-rays and afterward would be admitted for observation. He’d been sedated while his shoulder was reset, but the admitting nurse assured me I could visit with him once he woke. That was four hours ago. Unlike the kindly woman in admissions, the ward staff were disinclined to provide me with any information about a patient to whom I was not related, only repeating that he was ‘resting comfortably’.

The sound of a chair scraping the floor startled me from my stupor. John Grey, dressed in his street clothes and carrying a steaming extra-large coffee, sat down beside me.

“How is he doing?” he asked as he handed me the drink.

I didn’t know how I felt about John anymore, but the fact remained that of all our colleagues, he was the only one to join me in my midnight vigil. Jamie had explained that they’d been friends since circus school, and I trusted Jamie’s judgement above all things, no matter how damning the evidence.

“I haven’t been able to see him yet, but the medical staff assure me he’s not in danger.”

John nodded, leaning back and stretching his legs with a groan.

“Tomorrow’s performance has been canceled,” he informed me. “Probably the following night’s as well. I know it’s the last thing on your mind, but we’ll need to find time to rehearse the routine.”

I stared at him, trying to make sense of what he was saying. It hadn’t even occurred to me that I’d be expected to keep performing without Jamie as my partner.

“I’m Jamie’s understudy, remember?” John clarified when I didn’t respond.

“I suppose congratulations are in order, then.” I hadn’t meant to sound churlish, but I found it untenable that anyone should benefit from Jamie’s fall.

“Claire,” John entreated, laying a hand on the chilled skin of my arm. “Jamie being injured is the last thing I want. If I could trade places with him, I would in a heartbeat. There is no ulterior motive here beyond making Tropico a success. You know that’s what Jamie would want as well.”

“I saw you,” I accused, too tired and wrung out to beat around the bush. “Going into Marylebone’s hotel room in Singapore.”

I mentally dared John to deny it. Instead, he shook his head ruefully but met my eyes, his own deep brown and earnest.

“That wasn’t what it looked like. I was… well, let’s just say I was making amends. You have to believe me, Claire.”

Before I could grill John on what exactly ‘making amends’ meant, Jamie’s doctor stepped into the corridor. I was on my feet in an instant, the conversation with John forgotten.

“He’s awake, but still a bit groggy from the sedative we gave him,” he said without preamble. “I’ll be back in the morning to check on him. Until then, I don’t suppose either of you answers to the name of Tourist?”

I threw my arms around the man, who inexplicably sounded like he hailed from Texas.

“Woah there,” he laughed. “Now I’m going to have to explain to my wife how I managed to get covered in glitter while working a double shift.”

“Thank you very much, doctor.” John’s relief was utterly uncontrived. Feeling uncharitable after my earlier accusation, I paused in my rush towards Jamie’s room.

“John? I’m sure Jamie would appreciate seeing an old friend. After I’ve had a chance to visit with him, that is.”

John sank back down into the uncomfortable chair he’d just vacated.

“Take your time.”

***

Jamie was reeling in the aftermath of Doctor Abernathy’s prognosis when Claire arrived in his hospital room like a sunbeam on a cloudy day. Even in pain, even knowing that his circus career was over, even anticipating their upcoming separation by both geography and circumstance, he couldn’t fail to warm in the bright rays of her smile.

“Hello there,” she murmured, sounding shy and a bit hoarse from fatigue.

“Claire,” he exhaled on a sigh, likewise a bit tongue-tied.

His left side was in a sling to protect his shoulder, so she reached for his right hand before freezing mid-motion, having just noticed the splint immobilizing his wrist.

“I didn’t realize you’d injured both arms when you fell,” she commented, hands hovering as though she wanted to make contact, testify to his wholeness via touch, but couldn’t bear to cause him any further pain.

Jamie grimaced, not eager to relay the significance of his injury when he’d only just begun to re-catalog his partner’s infinite wonders: her skin, luminous even beneath the pallid lights; her curls, a burn in spate cascading over her shoulders now that she’d loosened her bun; her expression, as forthright and eloquent as a masthead. Once he told her, the ties between them would be severed before they had the chance to build a fresh bond, one that didn’t rely on their status as colleagues. For the thousandth time, Jamie cursed his previous hesitation.

“Pull up a chair, Tourist. I’ve some news tae share wi’ ye.”

Jamie related what Doctor Abernathy had just told him, trying to split the difference between optimism and realism. Tears streaked unheeded down Claire’s cheeks, each one of them a tiny lance aimed straight at his heart.

“Dinna weep, Claire,” he begged as he finished his tale. “It wasna as though I believed I’d be an aerialist forever, and John will serve ye well as a partner.”

Amber sparks flew from her eyes as she ground out, “You think I’m crying because of a goddamned circus act? Christ, Jamie, you…” her hands scrabbled in the air, seemingly searching for words. “You held on to that bloody strap while your wrist fell apart. In what I can only imagine was excruciating pain. For me. You did that for me.”

“Aye, I did. And I’d do it over again in a heartbeat, if it meant saving ye from harm.” As surely as a compass pointed north, this he knew as truth to the marrow of his bones.

“Because you love me,” Claire said. It sounded like an accusation, and perhaps it was. In his life, romantic love was a weakness, a chink in his armour to be exploited to another’s benefit. Not Claire, though, whose heart was purer than fire, who cared ferociously and without artifice.

“Aye, I do,” he conceded. “But Tourist, with everything changin’ between us…”

She lay a finger gently across his lips, finally finding a place where she could touch him safely.

“It’s like someone very wise told me recently, Jamie,” she interrupted, face drawing close enough that he could make out the golden sunbursts around the well of her pupils. The cadence of his pulse accelerated, making his wrist throb in agony that he entirely ignored in favour of watching Claire’s mouth caress each syllable.

“You have to be willing to fall to fly,” followed by Trojan horse words that stole beneath his weary defences and unlocked the gates of his heartache from within. “I love you too, Jamie.”

Not waiting for his response, she kissed him. As tender as a prayer and audacious as hope, the moments after their mouths pressed together flipped Jamie’s life on its head. Up was down. Pain brought pleasure. Distancing himself from her love was like trying to hide the daylight from the sun. In her thrall was exactly where he belonged.

Regretfully, the kiss was over before Jamie could organize his wrecked limbs to reach behind Claire and pull her closer. He worried she would confuse his lack of response for lack of interest, but when her love-drunk eyes fluttered opened his fears vanished.

“Do we have the worst timing, or what?” she chuckled as she settled back in her chair, both hands now caressing his upper arm and chest.

“Quite possibly, aye. I want nothin’ more than tae take ye in my arms and ne’er let go, and I canna even touch ye,” he lamented.

“We’ve got all the time in the word for that, once you’re well.”

Floating on a wave of endorphins and euphoria, Jamie still had enough sense to realize it wouldn’t be quite so simple. Claire was a brilliant performer and Cirque des Etoiles would certainly want to keep her busy after Tropico’s tour was done. Three months, possibly six, and then she’d be on the road again with a new show. And that was saying nothing of his own upended employment and work visa situation.

Still, lying in a hospital bed with her warm palms caressing his skin, he was more optimistic than he had any right to be. As fate had demonstrated time and again since they first met, there was little they couldn’t overcome when they faced it together.

“I should let you get some rest,” she said regretfully after he suppressed his third yawn.

“Will ye come by tomorrow?” He was desperate to spend as much time as he could in Claire’s company. Both because it soothed him, but also because he knew he’d be travelling back to Montreal soon after his surgery, and Tropico would be moving on to Perth in another week. It would be weeks before they’d see each other again.

“Of course. I have to organize some rehearsal time with John, but…. Oh, that reminds me! John wants to see you.”

“What, now?” he asked, glancing out the window at the pitch-black sky. It must be close to two in the morning.

“Yes, he’s waiting in the hall. I can tell him you’re sleeping…”

“Nah, s’alright, Tourist. Send him in.”

Claire made a fuss looking for her jacket and purse, neither of which she’d thought to bring with her during the mad dash to the hospital. Perhaps he was flattering himself, but she seemed loathe to leave, despite her obvious exhaustion.

“Alright, I suppose I’ll be off. Don’t visit with John for too long. You need to rest.”

“Nagging already, is it?” he teased, delighting in her blush.

“Well, somebody’s got to watch over you, Fraser,” she huffed in faux exasperation.

The teasing mood left him in an instant, leaving him unaccountably moved.

“I couldna ask fer a better, nor more lovely, minder. I’m honoured ye’ve chosen me, Claire.”

The goodbye kiss she graced him with then was passionate and warm, tongues darting past panting lips to explore virgin territory. By the time she pulled away, his body was humming with longing that he could do nothing to assuage.

“Uh, Tourist? A’fore ye leave, could ye…um… hand me yon wee blanket?”

Equally flushed, Claire raised an expressive brow but made to tuck the woolen throw around his shoulders, assuming he was cold.

“No’ there. Across my lap, if ye please. I dinna want John getting any false impressions of how excited I am tae see him, y’ken?”

Claire’s chortling laugh could be heard echoing down the hallway long after John entered the room.

Yannima Tommy Watson (ca. 1935-2017) was born at Anamarapiti, approximately 40 kilometres west of the small community of Irrunytju (also known as Wingellina) Irrunytju is situated in Western Australia near the tri-state border of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory. Watson is a Pitjantjatjara man, and his skin group is Karimara. He spent his early childhood and teenage years living with his family, travelling from water hole to water hole, hunting and gathering and learning from his father the practical skills on how to survive on their lands in the arid regions of the Gibson Desert. While growing up he learned to understand the significance of social organization and the spiritual and tribal law teachings of his ancestors. Watson also inherited the knowledge on how to find water and food within their region. However, the fate of Watson and his family and many of the other western desert nomads was sealed with the introduction of assimilation policies. This combined with the severe drought throughout the 1950’s resulted in many of the Pitjantjatjara, Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi Aborigines moving from their home lands to the administrative centres in Warburton, Ernabella and Papunya. The unfamiliar world of the Government settlements was no place for these free nomadic people who were use to a life of unlimited travel, they became disoriented and more than half of the population of these new communities died. Most never adjusted and eventually in the 1970’s and early 1980’s returned to their traditional homelands.

In 2001 Watson was one of the founding artists of the Irrunytju art centre. His work is rich in the knowledge of the topographical landforms of his country and the Tjukurrpa law that underlies it. He paints the stories of his mothers and grandfather’s country recording the sacred dreamtime stories intuitively using large vibrant colourful dots of pinks, burgundy, orange and reds to symbolically represent the dreamtime journeys of the ancient spirits and the significant episodes in the history of his tribe.

“My grandfather’s country, grandmother’s country. When they were alive, they would take me around the country, when I was a kid. That’s why we look after country, go out whenever we can. See if the rock holes are good”

His most important dreamtime stories are the Great Flood Dreaming, a story of the melting ice that flooded the lands north of the Great Australian Bight. Another story tells of the Pangkalangku, tall man eaters from the north east and his other stories tell of the tribal conflicts between the Pitjantjatjarra and the Yankunyatjarra.

As a young man Watson became a stockman at Mount Ebenezer, and then travelled to Yuendumu where he gained a reputation as an exceptional horseman. He is now a tribal elder and law man and frequently travels widely across the Pitjantjatjara lands to fulfil his traditional obligations. Today he divides his time between the remote community of Warakurna on the edge of the Great Victorian Desert and Alice Springs where he has a house and painting studio. He is widely recognised nationally and internationally and his work is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Western Australian Art Gallery, Perth, South Australian Art Gallery, Adelaide and in many important private collections .He was commissioned in 2005 to produce artwork to be permanently installed in the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris, France, which opened in 2006. The painting Wipu rockhole (2006) was enlarged and reproduced on stainless steel tiles which adorn a ceiling within the museum.

Essential Dos and Don'ts of Bathroom Renovations: A Comprehensive Guide

Bathroom renovations are a vital aspect of maintaining and enhancing the value of a home. Whether it's updating the aesthetics or addressing functional issues, renovating a bathroom can significantly improve the overall living experience.

However, amidst the excitement of transforming a space, many homeowners often make common mistakes that can lead to unnecessary challenges and setbacks.

In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the essential dos and don'ts of bathroom renovations Melbourne, providing valuable insights to help individuals navigate this process with confidence and success.

Dos

1. Plan and Budget

The first and foremost step in any bathroom renovation project is meticulous planning and setting a realistic budget. Without a clear plan in place, the project can quickly spiral out of control, leading to unexpected costs and delays. It's crucial to outline the specific goals of the renovation, whether it's addressing functionality issues, modernizing the aesthetics, or both. This ensures that the renovation stays focused and aligned with the homeowner's vision.

Furthermore, setting a realistic budget is paramount. Homeowners should carefully consider the costs of materials, labor, and any unforeseen expenses that may arise during the renovation process. By establishing a well-defined budget, individuals can make informed decisions and prioritize essential elements such as plumbing, fixtures, and structural modifications.

2. Quality Materials and Professional Help

Using high-quality materials is a fundamental aspect of ensuring the longevity and durability of the renovated bathroom. From tiles and countertops to plumbing fixtures, investing in superior-quality materials can significantly reduce maintenance costs and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the space. Homeowners should prioritize durability, functionality, and visual appeal when selecting materials for their renovation projects.

Moreover, seeking professional help for complex tasks is highly recommended. Tasks such as plumbing and electrical work require expertise and precision to ensure safety and compliance with building codes. Hiring licensed professionals not only minimises the risk of errors but also provides homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that skilled individuals are handling the critical aspects of the renovation.

3. Adequate Ventilation and Lighting

Proper ventilation is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of bathroom renovations Melbourne. Inadequate ventilation can lead to moisture buildup, mold growth, and structural damage over time. Therefore, homeowners should prioritize installing efficient ventilation systems to maintain a healthy and sustainable bathroom environment.

Additionally, the impact of good lighting should not be underestimated. Ample natural light and well-designed artificial lighting can transform the ambiance of a bathroom, creating a bright, inviting, and functional space. Incorporating skylights, windows, and strategically placed light fixtures can significantly enhance the overall aesthetics and functionality of the renovated bathroom.

Don'ts

1. Ignoring Plumbing Issues

One of the most common and costly mistakes during bathroom renovations is neglecting existing plumbing problems. Failing to address plumbing issues before initiating the renovation can lead to a cascade of challenges, including water damage, leaks, and disruption of the renovation process.

It is imperative for homeowners to conduct a thorough inspection of the plumbing system and address any underlying issues before commencing the renovation work.

2. Cutting Corners with DIY Projects

While DIY projects can be fulfilling and cost-effective, homeowners should exercise caution when it comes to complex tasks in a bathroom renovation.

Taking on plumbing, electrical, or structural modifications without adequate knowledge and experience can lead to hazardous outcomes and code violations. It is essential to recognize the limitations of DIY and consider hiring professionals for tasks that require specialized skills and expertise.

3. Overlooking Storage and Functionality

A common pitfall in bathroom renovations is overlooking the importance of storage and functionality. Focusing solely on aesthetics without considering practical storage solutions can result in a cluttered and impractical bathroom. Homeowners should prioritize optimizing storage space through smart cabinetry, shelving, and organizational systems to ensure a functional and well-organized bathroom environment.

Furthermore, the layout and design of the bathroom should prioritize usability and convenience. Overly intricate or impractical design elements can compromise the functionality of the space, leading to daily inconveniences for the homeowners. It's essential to strike a balance between aesthetics and functionality to create a harmonious and efficient bathroom layout.

Conclusion

In conclusion, successful bathroom renovations Melbourne require careful planning, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to addressing potential challenges. By adhering to the dos and avoiding the common pitfalls outlined in this comprehensive guide, homeowners can embark on their renovation projects with confidence and clarity.

It is crucial to approach bathroom renovations with a combination of creativity, practicality, and a commitment to quality, resulting in a space that not only meets the homeowner's needs but also enhances the overall value of the property.
