How to illuminate your exterior with colored projectors?

Image

For aesthetic purposes or to dissuade intruders, the portal is not only used to welcome visitors! Here are some ways to choose the right portal model. What shape for my portal? Straight, sloped, curved, curved or gendarme hat? A matter of taste. A PVC gate that is too design can detonate in front of a traditional house, while a wrought iron gate will enhance it. But there are enough possibilities today for every home to find the "right" portal. What visual barrier? Added, a gate makes it possible to supervise the outside but does not protect from the glances. On the contrary, a full model preserves privacy, but, too high, creates the unpleasant impression of being locked up, especially if the ground is small. On the other hand, it is better to avoid (unfortunately, we often see some) an impressive portal with low walls on each side. We must ensure the right overall balance. Swing or sliding? The former usually open inwards. Otherwise, the law requires that the...
