The Master Bathroom

PDFPrintE-mail

Out checking jobs yesterday morning and we landed at the McDaniel Job where Josh and Beers were busy applying more Terrazzo tiles in the master shower.  These tiles are the 12" x 12" on the walls.  Josh ripped down the 12" x 12" tiles to 3" x 3" for the shower floor.  In this first shot Beers is seen making a cut for Josh at the wet saw.

Here we can see the two shower walls behind Josh that he has covered in the tiles.  You can see the two shower diverter templates that Josh has cut around.  Once finished Beers will clean all the tiles and apply one good coat of sealer prior to grouting.  After grouting another coat of sealer will be applied which will cover both the concrete based tiles as well as the new grout.

In this shot the diagonal bench is shown all but finished except for the front edge.  You can see the "green coloring" along the front edge of tile backer which is the waterproof membrane which Josh has applied to assure that this bench can be flooded with water from the shower heads but never leak.

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...
