Reclaimed ‘barre montpelier’ pavers by Architectural Stone Decor. www.archstonedecor.ca | sales@archstonedecor.ca | (437) 800-8300 The ancient ‘barre montpelier’ stone pavers have been reclaimed from different locations across the Mediterranean making them timeless and unique in their earth tone color mixtures and patinas, adding serenity and beauty to your home. Their durable nature makes them an excellent choice whether used as flooring or wall cladding in indoor and outdoor applications. They are unaffected by extreme climate and easily withstand heavy use due to the nature of their resilient and rough molecular structure. They have been calibrated to 5/8” in thickness to ease installation of modern use. They come in random sizes and could be installed in either a running bond formation or a random ‘Versailles’ pattern.

One of the most popular hardwood floor finishing which offers Tom & Peter Flooring is provided by WOCA. If you’ve decided that you want a natural looking wooden floor that is lacquer-free, then the likelihood is that you’ve chosen oil as your way of protecting your wood and making your floor look great at the same time. WOCA for wood flooring comes in various forms and is a great way of making sure that your wood is protected, but at the same time looks natural. A highly popular as well as effective way of treating wood floors, oils effectively penetrate into the wood and in some cases harden into the surface of the floor to stop damage and to maintain the wood in its optimum condition. WOCA Oil finish hardwood flooring has taken the United States market by in 2014 and shows no signs of slowing down in 2016 and now. Here are some of the most common questions we have regarding this type of finish which we will I’m to answer in today’s my blog: Is oil finish as durable as traditional factory urethane finishes with aluminum oxide? When it comes to durability, oil finish flooring tackles the issue with a completely different method. The penetrating oil serves as protection from moisture and wear while allowing the user to feel the wood grains in their bare feet. If compared directly to factory finished aluminum oxide finish, the oil finish flooring will not perform as well to abrasion and impact. However, the beauty of this finish is the fact that it will camouflage any scratches which will inevitably accumulate over time. Will this finish evaporate over time and will this be harmful for indoor air quality? Another concern for oil finished floors its effect on indoor air quality. For on-site applications, some varieties suggest several coats which typically require the residents to be out of the home due to mild odors. However, there are factory finished UV-cured or single coat applications which lessen the downtime. Despite the odors produced during the drying process, oil finish floors rank amongst the lowest for VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Certain brands even boast true zero VOC. This fact alone makes oil finished floors one of the best options for green building solutions. “WOCA products are certified by independent laboratories, the German Institute for Biological Building Materials, and are in accordance with DIN–Norm 53–160. WOCA WoodCare Denmark products meet or exceed the most stringent U.S. standards for volatile organic compounds.” –WOCA Oil Finish Manufacture Does this type of finish require additional maintenance which I am not familiar with? For weekly cleaning, oiled floors use a special cleaner which contains an oil and soap mixture. After a period of 12-18 months some oil may evaporate causing the wood grains to appear dry. An additional layer of oil can be reapplied to keep the floor looking fresh. Although oil finished floors require more involvement in periodic maintenance in high traffic areas, this maintenance can be done much easier than the equivalent of an onsite sand and refinish. WOCA Master Color Oil contains pigment, which provides a single-step hardwood floor staining process. Laying down the stain and the finish in one step. This product comes 14 different colors, from Black to Extra White, and you can mix them freely to create various color palettes that will meet the demands of any job. Below are some pictures of the finished job…

Our client in Katy, Texas had an existing covered patio that was too small to meet their family's needs. Tradition Outdoor Living designed a large outdoor retreat, perfect for their family and with plenty of space for entertaining or visiting with family and friends. This open plan included a pergola, outdoor kitchen and bar, stamped concrete and a fire pit with seating area. Stepping out onto the patio, your attention is immediately drawn to the stunning stone firepit and seating area. This custom bench provides additional seating for roasting S’mores, stargazing, and serves as a wall to hide the large utility box in the yard. The polygal covered pergola offers partial shade with added protection from the heat and rain. Enjoy grilling, dining, and entertaining without having to worry about the unpredictable Texas weather. The raised bar constructed from the same stone as the outdoor kitchen and fire pit ties the old and new spaces together. The entire outdoor space flows seamlessly with the custom stamped concrete overlay. Our clients love their expanded outdoor space for grilling, watching TV, enjoying the hot tub and of course watching the night sky by the fire pit.
