A Sunroom Floor ~ Wilsonart Plank Flooring

PDFPrintE-mail

OUR HOMEOWNER OF THE MONTH!

We completed yet another laminate floor this past week.  This particular floor was that of a sunroom.  Our homeowners, Carolyn and James decided it was time to upgrade from their existing carpet to a hard surface floor covering.  They chose a plank floor (8" wide by 48" long) from the Wilsonart Classic Series, color: Oakwood.

Our first shot shows this job just getting underway with that all important first row of flooring.  This row takes as much time as anything, as Josh carefully measures, marks and cuts these first boards.

Later Josh is seen finishing the room with the last few boards, but he is far from complete.  Next, he will install the shoe molding, transition strips, reinstall the furniture, and reupholster the carpet to the Wilsonart End Cap at the entrance to the Living Room.

And here we show the before and after shots

Justin's Beach House

Recently we completed a job that I considered as so much more than just a job.  We were chosen to be a part of a very special building project called the Justin's Beach House Project.  Justin W. Jennings was a young man who diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in July of 1988.  This news came to Justin just one month prior to entering his freshman year at Penn State.  Though he was very much...

Waves of Tile

Recently we completed another kitchen backsplash.  This particular tile is a bit on the unique side of things since it is fashioned in the form of a wave or a scroll look.  Our installer Jason was tested, but proved once again to be the better when it came to installing this natural stone. By the time I caught up with Jason he was getting the grouting completed.  I will simply let the pictures...

Breaking the Weather

When our recent customer found water coming in his back door he realized that he needed something besides the hardwood flooring as a "weather break" at this area.  We were happy to accommodate by cutting this maple flooring back to an approximate 24" width and inserting these beautiful pebbles.  We then installed our waterproof, mold proof, stain proof grout called Spectra...

A Ceramic Area Rug

Well, after taking most of the summer off from blogging, I figured with fall in the air it was a good time as any to get back to writing and posting.  Today I thought I would feature a Hotel Lobby floor that we tackled in the town of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This hotel lobby floor was upgraded by using  non-slip 12" x 12" porcelain tiles with a simple border to create this "area rug" effec...
