Cohn + Associates Generally depending on the window depth you can run the drywall into the frame with 2X4 framed walls. It often depends on the window manufacturer. With a thicker wall (2X6, 2X8) you can get more depth and it looks better. It is easier to do with the doors as the fame can be order with the narrow depth to fit into a 2X4 wall.
I would like to put this type of travertine in the kitchen and mudroom and laundry...How durable is it and will it stand the test of time and not break or crack.
thanks »
Cohn + Associates Hi,
This is a sealed travertine. I am sometimes hesitant to use travertine in places where there is a possibility of staining. If installed correctly, I am not worried about it cracking or breaking. Since travertine can be a fairly porous stone it can stain. Even if it is sealed, the sealant wears off. I like using it in bathrooms, showers, around tubs and as flooring in many locations. I might be hesitant to use it as a kitchen floor as things like tomato based sauces or red wine might stain it if spilled. If you are diligent at cleaning the floor and making sure that it is properly sealed it might work fine. Same for your mud room. I would think it would be fine in the laundry. I hope that helps.
can you tell me the name of the company that makes the tile please? I have been looking for this tile and all i have been able to find so far is a real stone by a company called efesus stone. can you confirm so i can look it up? THanks! »
Dirt Digger I looked at a previous question posted...the contractor confirmed that it is tumbled travertine laid in an ashlar pattern...so it is actually real stone.
Cohn + Associates Hi Treasure the day,
The contractor confirmed that it is a tumbled travertine. The pattern as shown is refered to as ashlar or vectored. I hope that is helpful.
Joe-this is a nice look as well! The counter & tub top, the tile and the wall color. Do you think the darker fixtured look best with our design or regular chrome?
