Surface Solutions Inc., an independent contractor specializing in the installation of epoxy flooring, polyurethane and MMA flooring surfaces worked throughout the night to install a new urethane concrete floor at Rembrandt foods in Rembrandt Iowa. Installers were able to work around the plants production schedule while solving a number of unique logistical challenges.

Rembrandt, IA (PRWEB) October 17, 2012

The existing flooring surface was a failing epoxy 1/8 quartz broadcast system which was over 10 years old. The existing floor covering had to be removed and existing concrete surface dried with torches due to extremely moist conditions throughout the facility. To further complicate matters, the existing covering needed to be removed and new coatings applied at night in order to not delay production in the facility.

Surface Solutions replaced the existing surface with Flowcrete HF urethane concrete which was troweled on at a thickness of 3/8. This antimicrobial flooring system to eliminate bacterial contamination was perfect for this high volume food production facility. Additionally, Flowcrete provides the thermal shock and impact resistance needed for a facility was high traffic and frequent extreme temperature fluctuations.

Surface Solutions was able to provide high quality Flowcrete HF flooring under difficult circumstances on-time and within budget. The Rembrandt Foods project proved that Surface Solutions is up to the task even under extreme conditions.

The garage flooring industry is "in for some major changes" states Justin Krauss, Co-Founder and President of Garage Flooring LLC. This, on the heels of several new releases from Garage Flooring LLC's key supplier Better Life Technology (BLT), gives customers a wider range of garage flooring options and may prove to change the industry as a whole.

Grand Junction, CO (PRWEB) October 11, 2012

For over a decade there have been three specific customer groups within the garage flooring industry. Roll out vinyl garage flooring was available to those who wanted a quick, affordable garage floor. Garage floor tiles often appealed to another subset of customers who were looking for that checkerboard look for the garage. Of course many consumers still preferred the seamless look of an epoxy or other garage floor coating.

"Recent innovations by Better Life Technology are now blurring the lines between what has always been considered separate groups of customers. Customers will no longer have to choose between a checkerboard garage floor and a seamless garage floor as they can have a virtually seamless garage floor with a checkerboard pattern. If customers want the look of an epoxy or a garage floor coating but do not want to spend days preparing the floor, Granite Spek provides the look of a garage floor epoxy with the ease of installation of a roll out flooring product," continued Krauss.

According to Garage Flooring LLC's website they now offer roll out garage flooring with the look of garage floor tile, garage floor epoxy, granite and even licensed specialty garage floors with the Corvette or Camaro logo.

In addition to floors for the garage, Garage Flooring LLC also sells the BLT anti fatigue mats and Backtract mats. Like some of the flooring products, these products are also available with several specialty designs and licensed logos.

For customers still looking for garage floor tiles or garage floor coatings, Garage Flooring LLC is not leaving that business behind. Garage Flooring LLC recently launched several lines of garage floor coatings including Polyurea and 100% solids garage floor epoxy. Additionally, they offer both affordable and premium lines of garage floor tiles.

New Vinyl Garage Flooring Products Bring Change to Garage Flooring Industry

All in 1 Handyman Services, serving Irvine, and Newport Beach, Orange County, helps homeowners recycle, restore, replace, and repair salvaged items.

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) October 05, 2012

Companies are popping up today selling old reclaimed wood with years of weathering and turning the material into something beautiful like picture frames, park benches, fences, planter boxes and yes, even doors for master bathrooms, says Steve Bowman, owner of All in 1 Handyman Services. Recently a client from Irvine found a website describing step-by-step how to build a sliding barn door. We were asked to install the custom built door with barn door hardware in their master bedroom. The door installation provided an incredible finishing touch on the master bedroom remodel.

If homeowners think outside the box, many salvaged items can be reused in the home as seen in these photos. For example, old wooden lockers from a warehouse can be turned into upper cabinets or discarded flower pots can be used as pendant lights adapted to a track light system. Old fireplace mantles, vintage light fixtures, faucets, or metal ceiling tiles can all be installed for a unique look. Some of the older products are actually better quality as well. The creative and artistic homeowner can even turn recycled materials into works of art or art installation in their homes.

Where can recycle materials and products be found? Homeowners may be surprised at all the resources available. Aside from salvage stores and companies that sell reusable home products, check out antique stores, auctions, garage sales, flea markets, Craigslist, and demolition companies. Dilapidated barns are often a good source for wood that can be used in flooring, and wall or ceiling treatments.

Steve enjoys helping homeowners and interior designers execute their vision by providing installation of recycled materials, art installation, or window treatments. He can restore, replace, or repair anything. His wide range of handyman services includes remodeling, painting, finish carpentry work, gates, fences, drywall, flooring, electrical work, plumbing, window installation, concrete work, deck staining, and much more. For more information about this exceptional company, please visit their website at http://www.allin1-handyman.com.

Newport Beach Handyman Announces New Ways Homeowners Can Use Recycled Materials When Remodeling

PICAYUNE Two change orders dealing with the construction of the addition to historic City Hall for beautification purposes were questioned by council member Larry Breland at Tuesday evenings Picayune City Council meeting.

The changes had to do with changing the installation of vinyl composition tile to porcelain flooring and with upgrading the drop tiles for the ceilings to a more aesthetically pleasing type.

Changing the flooring from vinyl to porcelain will cost the city an additional $12,000. Breland asked for a reason to change the flooring. Public Works Director Eric Morris said not only would the porcelain flooring look better, but it would require less maintenance in waxing and other care.

Morris said within four years the city would recoup the cost of the upgrade by not needing to get the porcelain flooring waxed and maintained each year.

The council unanimously approved the change in the buildings flooring.

The second change order dealt with changing the ceiling tiles to a more aesthetically pleasing type with beveled edges and recessed support, Morris said. The cost for this change would add $3,303 to the citys construction bill.

This change prompted Breland to again ask again what the purpose of the change would be. Morris said it would make the public spaces of the building more attractive. Breland said at the current rate of changes being made, he fears the city will exceed the bond money borrowed to construct the addition, prompting the possibility of the city digging into other funds in order to finish the project.

I have a problem with us spending like that now, Breland said.

Breland then asked how much the air conditioning system would cost and if there are enough funds set aside to cover the expense. Morris said the cost of the air conditioning unit would be between $43,000 and $46,000.

A motion to approve the change in the type of ceiling tile as approved by council members Larry Watkins, Jason Todd Lane, Wayne Gouguet and Mayor Ed Pinero Jr., but opposed by Breland. Council member Lynn Bogan Bumpers was absent from Tuesdays meeting.

Choosing the flooring for the home is one of the most significant decisions to make in terms of the long-term, overall look and feel of the space. Its a big financial decision, and theoretically its not going to be changed for at least a number of years or ideally, for many years to come. But choosing between real hardwood flooring and laminate means being stuck between two very different choices: authentic and long lasting but difficult to maintain and expensive, or inexpensive and easy to clean, but not so durable and not quite the real thing.

HomeThangs.com introduced an option to get best of two worlds porcelain tiles printed with wood patterns (also called wood tile), that offer picture-perfect natural wood color and variety with durability that exceeds either wood or laminate, and is easy to clean and less expensive than one might think.

Choosing the flooring for the home is one of the most significant decisions to make in terms of the long-term, overall look and feel of the space. Its a big financial decision, and theoretically its not going to be changed for at least a number of years or ideally, for many years to come. But choosing between real hardwood flooring and laminate means being stuck between two very different choices: authentic and long lasting but difficult to maintain and expensive, or inexpensive and easy to clean, but not so durable and not quite the real thing.

HomeThangs.com introduced an option to get best of two worlds porcelain tiles printed with wood patterns (also called wood tile), that offer picture-perfect natural wood color and variety with durability that exceeds either wood or laminate, and is easy to clean and less expensive than one might think.

1.Porcelain Tiles That Look Like Wood

The wood look tiles introduced by HomeThangs.com are manufactured by Mediterranea, a US-based company with a proprietary printing method that allows them to print high definition images directly onto their porcelain tile. The result is hard, durable, easy-to-clean tiles that look exactly like hard wood, with a spectacularly natural looking degree of built in grain variation and color. The Tumble Weed Wood Tile is just that tile! And unlike many wood tiles, Mediterranea doesnt print their wood patterns on square tile theyre the first company in the US to make 48 long wood tile planks so they can be installed and arranged like a real hardwood floor.

2.Wood Prints Captured In the Wild

With laminate wood flooring, one has to be very careful with how the planks are laid for the simple reason that there are only so many wood grains per style per package, which can easily end up creating an unintentional pattern that will make the non-natural nature of the floor more obvious. Mediterraneas wood tiles are different because each collection doesnt merely represent a few wood-like designs, theyre painstakingly designed to recreate real wood, with a much greater degree of variety in shade and grain like one on a real wood floor. Many patterns (like the Wild Timber Wood Tile ) are even designed specifically to look weather-worn, reflecting our nations coastal boardwalks and rustic cabins, creating a unique aged floor without the wait or any of the difficult maintenance.
