Ceramic Tiles

2009-05-06T07:09:00.000-07:00

A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even glass. Tiles are generally used for covering roofs, floors, and walls, showers, or other objects such as tabletops. Alternatively, tile can sometimes refer to similar units made from lightweight materials such as perlite, wood, and mineral wool, typically used for wall and ceiling applications. Less precisely, the modern term can refer to any sort of construction tile or similar object, such as rectangular counters used in playing games (see tile-based game). The word is derived from the French word tuile, which is, in turn, from the Latin word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed of baked clay.
Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings, and can range from simple square tiles to complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made from ceramic, with a hard glaze finish, but other materials are also commonly used, such as glass, marble, granite, slate, and reformed ceramic slurry, which is cast in a mould and fired.

Parquetry

2009-04-24T09:21:00.000-07:00

Parquetry is a geometric mosaic of wood pieces used for decorative effect. The two main uses of parquetry are as veneer patterns on furniture and block patterns for floors. The patterns of parquet flooring are entirely geometrical and angular— squares, triangles, lozenges. The use of curved and natural shapes constitutes marquetry rather than parquetry. The most popular parquet flooring pattern is herringbone.

The modern Parquet flooring (square tiles made of 6' by 1' pieces) was popularized in the 1980s in very fashionable & stylish high-rise apartment buildings (most commonly in the entryway, this was called "A Touch of Elegance"). Parquet is also popular in millions of up-scale country clubs and many large homes. Today it is used in many places it makes for a very stylish entryway. Parquet also is very durable and lasts for a long time. When Parquet is installed, it has been known to greatly increase the value of a home.

Tip of the Day 4/17/2009

2009-04-17T09:13:00.000-07:00

*Hardwood floors are affected by two distinct humidity seasons - heating and non-heating. Recognizing that wood floor dimensions will be slightly affected by varying levels of humidity, care should be taken to control humidity levels within the 35-55% range. If humid or damp weather causes a slight expansion in your hardwood floor, the edges of boards may rub together, producing a squeak.

Tip of the Day 4/16/09

2009-04-16T05:54:00.000-07:00

*Spike or stiletto high-heel shoes, especially those in poor repair, may cause denting and related damage to hardwood floors due to the extremely high compressive force they generate. A 105 lb woman wearing high heels on a wood floor can exert up to 2000 lbs psi at the heel's point of contact. If the heel is damaged and showing an exposed nail, that number can jump to 8000 lbs!

Tip of the Day - 4/14/09

2009-04-15T08:56:00.000-07:00

* If your floor abuts exterior doors, put outside door mats at the entrances to keep dirt and moisture from being tracked in. Inside you may want to add an area rug to further prevent dirt and moisture from being tracked onto your hardwood floor. Don't use rubber foam back, or plastic mats as they may discolor the floor. to prevent slippage of area rugs, use an approved vinyl rug underlay from a reputable manufacture.

Natural Beauty Means Natural Variations

2009-02-09T10:11:00.000-08:00

The patterns and color variations created in a living tree are like all of nature - never repeated. Naturally occurring wood characteristics such as mineral streaks, knots, and variations in grain and color are not considered defects. They are the reflection of the natural beauty of wood. So, your home becomes unique. The swirls of grain in your hardwood floor are like the fingerprint of your home. You can gaze onto your hardwood floor and find many interesting things within the woods grain. Each variation tells a story of how the tree grew. That's what makes a real hardwood floor so special. Plastic or laminates can't come close to the natural beauty of wood. For more stories about hardwood flooring go to our website.
