Another Busy Day

PDFPrintE-mail

This past week has been a busy one and as I made my rounds I thought I would feature 3 different jobs we have going.

My first stop was to check on our installer Brooks who was busy in a Ground Floor Existing Bathroom taking care of the shampoo niche.  You can see in the picture that Brooks is in the middle of waterproofing the shampoo niche with Kerdi liner by Schluter.  This is a waterproof lining that will keep this box nice and dry.  Behind Brooks you can see the Kerdi Band is installed in the corners of the backer board as well as the protective ring is around the shower faucet area.

Next we see Josh and Beers are busy hanging tile backer in one of 4 bathrooms they are tiling.  This is in a new house up on the beach for one of our builders Mark Dieste Design Build.  Josh is busy installing the board while Beers is cutting his next piece.

The following day I found Beers putting the finishing touches on the grouting of a pebble shower floor.  These pebbles were first enhanced with a special sealer and then Beers installed our SpectraLOCK Grout to make the shower floor stain-proof and mildew/mold proof.  Beers is smiling because he knows he is about to go home for the day!

Chicago Reclaimed Brick

Recently we completed another kitchen floor.  This one however, was a bit different as we installed a used brick as specified from the job-site's designer, Mark Showell of Mark Showell Interiors (www.markshowellinteriors.com).  This used brick had been reclaimed, cut with a band saw to a 3/8" thickness (for flooring) and shipped out from Chicago.  Our job was simply to install these fine...

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...
