New Divider Construction
Initially, the old metallic construction was dismantled and the site was cleaned. This was followed by the construction with YTONG blocks, which were given the desired shape for the final result. After the construction, the cement mortar was applied and finally the construction was painted with the cement paint. The final step was the cutting, painting and installation of the wooden railings
External Sofa Construction
Initially the construction was made with the YTONG blocks formatting in the desired shape. Then, the cementitious coating was applied and in the final stage the construction was painted with white cement paint. After that the OSB's panels were painted with white PU paint. Next, the woods were measured and cut to the desired lengths. This was followed by painting them with light walnut impregnation varnish and then transparent PU hybrid varnish was applied.Those woods were fastened to the OSBs to create the wooden seats. The construction was completed with the placement of the wooden seats in their predetermined positions
Monastery Type Wooden Table Construction
Initially, the woods was measured and cut to the desired lengths. Then the woods were shaped to look old, using the proper tools. They were then sanded with fine sandpaper, followed by their assembly to create the surface and legs of the table. Final steps were the painting and varnishing of the table and the placement of the wheels
