We can see wall rooster in tropical homes in the past. Usually a rooster wall is placed above the door or window.
The shape of the rooster wall also varies, such as boxes, squares, hexagons, and so on.
The main function of rooster is as a wall hole to create a maximum air circulation system in the room.
Over time, the function of rooster is now growing. Aside from being a vent, rooster can be used to beautify the house so that the appearance of space is more attractive and also as a substitute for fencing.
Therefore, usually rooster is made with the design as beautiful as possible.
Rooster is made from a variety of materials, such as concrete, cement and compacted sand, ceramics, concrete blocks, and clay.
Rooster made from brick has a better and stronger quality, but when viewed from the appearance, it is less attractive compared to rooster from clay.
However, the price is indeed cheaper and more economical. For clay rooster, it looks more beautiful, but it is less strong compared to rooster brick.
Rooster motifs are also increasingly diverse, such as box motifs, round motifs, and floral motifs; just choose according to taste.
Attractive motives for making rooster can be used as artistic ornaments at home.
In general, rooster has a size of 20 cm x 20 cm with a relatively heavy weight of 4.5 kg. Even though it looks heavy, rooster can still be stacked safely.
To make it look more attractive, it can be arranged alternately and glued using cement.
In addition to cement adhesive, rooster only needs to be strengthened using an additional iron plate.
A 4 mm thick iron plate can be screwed at the top of the rooster. Its function is to make the rooster stiffen and not easily collapse when pushed by the wind or touched.
Rooster construction usually does not use poles or beams. Rooster walls only rely on sloof which binds the foundation in the soil.
Sloof is responsible for receiving and distributing rooster loads to the foundation.
