Ko ngā matapihi ngā huānga e hono ana i a tātou ki te ao o waho. Mai i ēnei ka hangaia te whenua, ka tautuhia hoki te tūmataitinga, te rama me te hauhautanga taiao. I ēnei rā, i roto i te mākete hanga, ka kitea e tātou ngā momo whakatuwheratanga rerekē. Akohia me pēhea te whiriwhiri i te momo e pai ana mō ō hiahia kaupapa i konei.
Ko tētahi o ngā huānga matua o te hoahoanga, ko te anga matapihi, te tūāpapa o te kaupapa hanga whare. Ka rerekē te rahi me te rauemi o ngā matapihi, tae atu ki te momo kati, pērā i te karāhe me ngā arai, tae atu ki te tikanga whakatuwheratanga, ā, ka taea e ngā matapihi te whakararuraru i te āhua o roto o te wāhi me te kaupapa, ka hangaia he taiao tūmataiti ake, he maha ngā whakamahinga, he mārama ake, he whakahihiri ake rānei.
Ko te tikanga, ko te anga he kakau e mau ana ki te pakitara, ka taea te hanga ki te rakau, ki te konumohe, ki te rino, ki te PVC rānei, ka whakatakotoria te pepa – te huānga e hiri ana i te matapihi ki ngā rauemi pēnei i te karāhe, i ngā arai rānei, ka taea te whakau, te neke rānei. Ina nekehia, ka taea te whakatuwhera me te kati i roto i ngā huarahi maha, ka noho ki te wāhi e whakaatuhia ana i waho o te pakitara. Kei raro nei ka whakaaturia e mātou ngā momo matapihi tino noa me pēhea te whakatuwhera:
He anga reera ēnei e rere ai ngā pepa. Nā te mea he iti ake te wāhi whakapūhau i te matapihi nā te mea he iti noa te wāhi e puta ai te hau i waho o te pakitara.
He rite tonu te tikanga o ngā matapihi whakarārangi ki ngā tatau tuku iho, mā te whakamahi i ngā inihi tuwhera hei whakau i ngā pepa ki te anga, ka hangaia he wāhi e hauhautanga katoa ana. Mō ēnei matapihi, he mea nui kia matapaetia te whānui o te whakatuwheratanga, ahakoa o waho (te mea tino noa) o roto rānei, me te matapae i te wāhi ka nohoia e tēnei rau i runga i te pakitara i waho o te matapihi.
He whānuitia te whakamahinga o ngā matapihi whakatītaha i roto i ngā wharepaku me ngā kīhini, mā te whakatītaha i tētahi pae taha e neke poutū ai te matapihi, e whakatuwhera ana, e kati ana hoki. He matapihi rārangi, whakapae hoki ēnei, he iti ake te wāhi hauhautanga, ā, he maha ngā kaupapa e whiriwhiri ana ki te tāpiri i ētahi matapihi koki hei hanga i tētahi matapihi nui me tētahi whakatuwheratanga iti. Me tuwhera tonu ki waho, kāore e kitea tōna putanga ki tua atu i te pakitara, engari he mea nui kia tūpato te whakanoho i a ia, nā te mea ka pā he aituā ki ngā tāngata i roto i te rūma.
He rite ki ngā matapihi piko, he rite tonu te nekehanga whakatuwheratanga o ngā matapihi maxim-ar, engari he rerekē te pūnaha whakatuwheratanga. He rīwhi kei te tuaka poutū o te matapihi piko, ā, ka taea hoki te whakatuwhera i ētahi whārangi i te wā kotahi, ko te matapihi maxim air ia e tuwhera ana mai i te tuaka whakapae, ko te tikanga ka taea e te matapihi te whakatuwhera i tētahi whakatuwheratanga nui ake, engari kotahi anake. Ka tuwhera mai i te pakitara. He nui ake te putanga i te putanga whakarara, e hiahia ana kia tūpato te whakanoho i ana taonga, ā, he maha ngā wā ka whakanohoia ki ngā wāhi makuku.
Ko te matapihi hurihuri he mea hanga ki ngā rau e hurihia ana i te taha o te tuaka poutū, e pokapū ana, e wehea ana rānei mai i te anga. Ka hurihia ōna whakatuwheratanga ki roto, ki waho hoki, ā, me āta whakaarohia tēnei i roto i te kaupapa, inā koa i roto i ngā matapihi tino nui. Ka taea te whānui ake o tōna whakatuwheratanga, nā te mea ka tae atu ki te nuinga o te wāhi whakatuwheratanga, ka taea ai te whakarato i tētahi wāhi hauhautanga nui.
He rite ngā matapihi takai ki ngā matapihi anga-waha, engari ka piko, ka pakaru ngā rau ina whakatuwheratia. Haunga te whakatuwheratanga o te matapihi, ka taea e te matapihi kōura te whakatuwhera katoa i te whānuitanga, ā, me whai whakaaro ki tōna putanga i roto i te kaupapa.
E rua ngā whārangi o te whitiki e rere poutū ana, e taupokina ana tetahi ki tetahi, ā, e taea ai te whakatuwhera i te haurua o te whānui o te matapihi. Pērā i ngā matapihi reti, kāore tēnei tikanga e puta mai i te pakitara, ā, tata tonu te herea ki roto i ngā rohe, he mea tino pai mō ngā wāhi iti.
Ko ngā matapihi pūmau he matapihi kāore e neke te pepa. He anga me te kati te nuinga o te wā. Kāore ēnei matapihi e piri mai i te pakitara, ā, he maha ngā wā e whakamahia ana hei arotahi ki ngā mahi pēnei i te whakamārama, te hono i ngā tirohanga motuhake me te kore e whakapūmau i te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ki te ao o waho.
Haunga te momo whakatuwheratanga, he rerekē anō hoki ngā matapihi i runga i te momo hiri. Ka taea te mārama o ngā pepa, ā, ka taea te kati ki ngā rauemi pēnei i te kupenga waeroa, te karāhe, te polycarbonate rānei. Kāore hoki i te mārama, e taea ai te hauhautanga, pērā i ngā arai matapihi tawhito, e kawe mai ana i te āhua motuhake ki te taiao.
He maha ngā wā, kāore e ranea te kotahi tikanga whakatuwheratanga mō ngā hiahia o te kaupapa, ā, ka hua ake he ranunga o ngā momo whakatuwheratanga me ngā hiri rerekē i roto i te matapihi kotahi, pērā i te huinga matarohia o te matapihi papatahi me te matapihi papatahi, ko ngā putanga he arai, ā, he karāhe mārama te porotiti. Ko tētahi atu huinga matarohia ko te huinga o ngā matapihi pumau me ngā matapihi nekeneke, pērā i ngā matapihi reti.
Ka pāngia e ēnei kōwhiringa katoa te hauhautanga, te māramatanga me te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero i waenga i ngā wāhi o roto, o waho hoki. Hei tāpiri, ka taea e tēnei huinga te noho hei wāhanga ataahua o te kaupapa, e mau mai ana i tōna ake tuakiri me tōna reo, hei tāpiri atu ki te āhuatanga mahi e aro ana. Mō tēnei, he mea nui kia whakaarohia ko tēhea rauemi te mea pai mō ngā matapihi.
