Dark and intense, Navarre closely mimics natural wood. This option is perfect for fans of rustic yet refined design approaches. This specific style features a unique Gra-Matt™ finish.
This stylish matte coating eliminates reflections and harsh glares, while its granular surface resists scratches and heavy wear. Unlike high-gloss finishes that highlight fingerprints and smudges, the Gra-Matt™ finish masks everyday marks. Its slip-resistant quality makes it a safer option for areas with kids, pets, or elderly occupants. Plus, its dense protective layer prevents solvent permeation, such as acetone, nitric acid, and other harsh chemicals.
Part of the Solstone Coastal Collection, Navarre is a premier option in Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring. Esteemed for its 100% waterproof construction and exceptional durability, this series utilizes advanced technologies to authentically replicate the intricate textures of natural wood and stone. Solstone's distinctive rigid core exhibits unparalleled strength, rendering it an optimal solution for high-traffic areas and commercial settings. Easily install over uneven subfloors, and existing hard surfaces, including tile.

Camargue® Skye®; gives you a sense of openness and a sense of protection at the same time. The aluminum louvres in the roof of this pergola can be rotated as you wish, and you can even slide the roof fully open using the patented S-drive technology. As such, this pergola with a retractable roof is ideal for letting in maximum sunlight in winter and gazing at the starry sky in summer. When needed, the double-walled louvres are ready to stop any rain, snow or wind from getting in. Rotate the louvres in your pergola to the ideal position to let in just the amount of sunlight you prefer — and on hot days, the open louvres allow warm air to escape easily.
This pergola is not just extremely functional, it looks extremely sleek too. All wiring, anchoring and water drainage is invisibly concealed. Your pergola with a retractable roof can be installed both as a freestanding or lean-to structure. The possibilities for customization are endless: go for windproof screens, Loggia® or glass sliding panels as side elements, for example, or create a cozy atmosphere with LED lighting and a music or heating system.

Zola Windows played a crucial role in helping to embrace and engender the “Passive House” construction standard, allowing a landmark protected large commercial building to be transformed into an architecturally precise, low energy, high performance masterpiece. For 60 White Street, a brand new class of window was developed that pushes the technological envelope while faithfully replicating the look appropriate for a 146 year-old historic edifice. Spanning three panes, Zola’s American Heritage SDH (Simulated Double Hung) window helped create a well-insulated, draft free building envelope akin to a thermos bottle. This award-winning, replica-quality window boasts industry-leading airtightness and thermal performance, coupled with craftsmanship that is befitting of even the most detailed historic restorations.

Recently I visited a client in the town of Maidenhead, Berkshire who needed assistance restoring a very dirty pitted Limestone tiled floor which had suffered over the years due to poor maintenance choices. The pressures of a busy family life had, understandably, prevented my client from undertaking regular cleaning and the products and methods used for cleaning were by and large unsuitable for this type of natural stone. In addition, the pits in the tiles had been filled with grout; however, they were not flush to the tile and therefore a large amount of soil had collected in the pockets. The result was a Limestone tiled floor in considerably poor condition that was increasingly difficult to keep clean.
My client had tried and tried to get the floor clean, using methods such as scrubbing with toothbrushes, steam cleaners, and mopping – but they weren’t getting anywhere! I explained to my client that steaming is, in fact, one of the worst cleaning systems to use on natural stone floors. Steam not only damages sealers, it also thins out greasy soils. Some of these soils are absorbed onto the domestic microfiber pads, however a lot of the soil becomes thinner allowing it to penetrate deeper into the pours of the stone and grout. This in itself starts the vicious circle to rapidly soiled and dirty tiles and grout. This happens because the grease soils magnetise dirt!
My first task in the cleaning process was to mix a strong solution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean, which is a high alkaline cleaner. This solution was applied liberally across the entire Limestone tiled floor and grout. It was allowed to dwell for 30-40 minutes, giving it time to seep into the stone to get underneath and lift the ingrained dirt to the surface. During this time, I scrubbed the grout lines using a specialist stiff grout brush. The Limestone tiles were then scrubbed with heavy mechanical rotary agitation machine.
I then gave the floor a thorough rinse using the latest in cleaning and capture technology, which involves firing hot water at high pressure in a spinning motion across the floor, in effect blasting away the ingrained soils from the grout and pitting in the limestone. The high pressure is delivered from a system mounted inside my van which also contains waste tanks to capture the extracted soiled water.
After being allowed to dry thoroughly for 24 hours, I returned to seal the floor with Tile Doctor Colour Grow which would have brought out the deep colours in the stone, however after discussing the options with the client it became clear that they wanted to keep the floor looking as light as possible so Tile Doctor Ultra Seal was applied. Ultra Seal is a natural look impregnating sealer that soaks into the pores of the stone and protects it from within.
The floor now looks fantastic and the sealer should ensure it remains looking that way for some time to come and before leaving I made sure to provide my client with some professional maintenance advice.

The challenge: Create a dual office that can be closed and secured when the weather turns ugly and soccer practice comes inside. In addition, incorporate design feature to redirect heat from wall-length baseboard.
The result: Large-scale custom cabinets open to reveal individualized offices—a balance of performance and design. Pocket doors disappear, creating leg room below and exposing open work areas above. File drawers are in abundance and a supply cabinet in between provides the two spaces with ample storage for office necessities. When closed, the doors protect computers and technology creating a barrier against whatever life throws at them. An inset backer board channels heat from baseboard to air vents above and below cabinets.

Guidelines for Choosing an Outdoor Firepit Designs
When going over possible Outdoor Firepit Ideas in Kansas City MO, one of the main considerations is the decor and design of your home as it stands now. This is because it is important for the firepit to blend with and complement your home as opposed to standing out and looking out of place. Alternatively, if you are looking to redecorate your home, you can select an outdoor firepit that complements not your current decor, but the target.
Most outdoor design ideas incorporate either metal or copper as the main material. The design itself depends on individual preference. For instance, you may choose an ornate design, in addition to providing you with the option of choosing from different shapes such as a square or a rectangle. A major consideration when selecting a design is the number of people who would potentially be warming themselves around the fire. For an outdoor pit around which many people are likely to gather, an open design is recommended.
The professionals and designers in UMKC Masonry are in the business of enhancing spaces and creating a final product that is both functional and aesthetic. These experts prioritize high quality and first-rate service for every client.
