In the hills above Ogden, Utah, this backyard pavilion works as hard as the home it complements — a poolside cabana, an indoor-outdoor entertaining space, and a flexible ADU all in one. Three nearly 12-foot-tall NanaWall NW Aluminum 640 folding glass doors open the pavilion to the pool, the side yard, and sweeping views of the city below. To echo the charm of the adjacent primary residence, the systems were finished in Steel Effect Classic Bronze powder coat with simulated divided lites — delivering the sleek look of steel-framed doors without the weight, cost, or thermal limitations. Outward stacking keeps every inch of the compact interior usable. The result is a four-season pavilion that lives wide open in summer and closes down to a comfortable retreat year-round.

Details below of a Grout colouring job I recently completed at a house in Morecambe. In this instance, the grout had become stained, and my client was no longer happy with it. There are a number of reasons grout can lose its appearance including the build-up of mould in damp and unvented areas, staining from liquids accidentally spilt on the floor and surprisingly if you have a coloured grout it can lose its colour due to the bleach found in common types of household cleaning products. Grout contains lime which is acid-sensitive and will react to acidic cleaning products so for general cleaning do use a pH Neutral Cleaning product. To tackle the stained grout I first tried Tile Doctor Pro-Clean which can be used at different levels of concentration to increase its potency. In this case however when this grout dried it went back to being patchy so then the only answer was to restore its appearance using a Grout Colouring kit. To form a better bond with the Grout Colourant I first treated the grout with a Tile Doctor Pre-Treat Cleaner, which is very slightly acidic and effectively etches the grout. If you have a particularly acid-sensitive stone tile (Limestone, for example), it is recommended to use Tile Doctor Oxy-Pro cleaner instead as this won’t upset the stone, yet still clean the Grout ready for colouring. Once the Grout had dried (which is some cases can be several hours), I applied a thin coating of the Grout Colourant, as a thin coat dries quicker and provides a more even finish. A second coat was then added, before polishing off the excess from the edges of the tiles. After about half an hour the Grout Colourant was dry to the touch (at this stage you should be able to walk on the floor). Note that if you are Grout colouring a wall tile in a shower cubicle, it is best to leave the area for 24 hours before using the shower. As you can see from the photographs, the result was very effective, and needless to say my client was very happy with the rejuvenated appearance of her grout. Russell Taylor Lancashire Tile Doctor

2013 NKBA MEDIUM BATH When this young couple purchased their nearly 25-year-old colonial, the master bathroom was the first thing they wanted to change. Drab looking with worn out cabinets and a shower that was too small, it didn’t fit their modern vision for the space. Working with Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes, they came up with a plan to enlarge the bathroom, stealing space from the master bedroom. The new design includes a much larger shower, the addition of a walk-in shower and more. And the results are nothing less than stunning. A new, frameless glass shower stall is equipped with a steam unit, body sprays, rain shower head, and thermostatic valve and control. A double-sided fireplace overlooks a large whirlpool tub (also visible from the master bedroom). Modern wall hanger espresso finish vanities are topped with a marble top and his and her tumbled marble vessel sinks. Two tall linen cabinets bookend the vanity for additional storage. A recessed mirror with back lighting effect was also installed. Large 20” × 20” white marble floor and walls with dark metallic tile were placed on featured walls for added effects. The floors in both the bathroom and closet are heated. An enlarged doorway from bathroom to walk-in closet offers double French glass doors which are pocketed for better traffic flow. Built-in closet systems are his and hers with matching cherry espresso finish cabinetry covered by obscure glass doors and a touch pad lighting system. The middle island features shoe racks and tie and socks storage. Clean, streamlined and functional, the homeowners love this award-winning space.

This sensational stone fireplace was designed in 2015 for the family room of a lakeside Bloomfield Hills home. Natural Fond du Lac stones in varying sizes and subtle shades are dry stacked, running floor to ceiling and window to window for a dramatic effect. A floating limestone mantel and hearth lighten the look and frame the horizontal firebox, where natural linear masonry fire brick, stained to a rich charcoal color before mortaring, perfectly complements the lighter grays of the natural stone. A birch log set brings a bit of the outdoors in and ignites the space with a rustic, woodsy effect. Centered overhead is a stepped ceiling detail with indirect lighting via recessed down lights and LED strip uplighting, for a soft transition into dusky evenings.
