Quarry Tiled Kitchen Floor Restored in Stoke-on-Trent

Here’s a job I recently completed in the heartland of the English pottery industry, Stoke-on-Trent. In this particular instance I was commissioned by my client to restore the appearance of the Quarry tiled floor in her kitchen which as you can see from the photo below was far from looking it’s best. Quarry tiles are typically a very hard wearing stone, but in high traffic areas like a kitchen, even this type of tile will require regular maintenance. My first task, before beginning the restoration, was to remove the kickboards from around the bottom of the kitchen units, to prevent them from being damaged during the process. The next step was to acid wash the tiles using Tile Doctor Grout Clean-Up which was scrubbed into the tiles to remove old grout and plaster that had become stuck to the surface of the tiles at some point in the past. Once this had done its job I rinsed the entire floor with water washing away the excess soiled residue and any trace of acid. The next step was to give the tiles a good clean using Tile Doctor Pro Clean, which is a high alkaline cleaner suitable for use on a range of natural stone floors. This was left to dwell on the tiles for ten minutes, allowing it time to seep into the stone to get underneath – and lift out – the ingrained dirt. I then agitated the solution with a scrubbing brush to remove the muck from the surface of the tiles. The floor was then given another rinse with water, and this was extracted using a wet vacuum. I left the floor to dry after cleaning for more than 24 hours, making sure that it would be ready for sealing the next day. Upon my return to the house I checked the floor was dry and then sealed the floor using four coats of Tile Doctor Seal & Go, which provides a robust surface seal and a durable low-sheen finish. The product is suitable for use on internal, unsealed, porous surfaces. The photographs above bears witness to the massive improvement which has been made to the quarry tiles, which has not only completely transformed the look of the tiles but also the appearance of the kitchen.

AM2245 ROCK DROP LIGHT

AMLD INTERIOR INC

AM2245 ROCK DROP LIGHT DESCRIPTION: The light installation is a chandelier with deliciously unique lights that celebrate the fascinating nature of the rock, where no rock is the same as the next. When you see a light sculpture designed to increase the visual appeal of a room and define its luminous character, you stop on your way to admire it. The word "crystal" comes from Ancient Greek and it means ice which is, similar to real crystal, characterized by purity, clarity, and coolness. Greeks were always surprised when ordinary water turned into "rock". But they soon discovered that something resembling ice can be found deep in the mountains – they found colorless, pure, transparent, and cold mono-crystals of silicon dioxide. The Greek word for ice was quickly transferred to this sought-after material and since then these colorless silica mono-crystals are known as rock crystal or quartz. However, people were fascinated by rock crystal even before the Greek civilization; it can be even said that it is an important part of human history. It is astonishing how quickly ancient civilizations learned to cut rock crystal using sand, a material of equal hardness. Rock crystal was used to make jewelry, luxury items for the upper classes, and also items related to magic. This led to the perception of crystal as something noble and mysterious.

Timeless Marble Master Bathroom

StoneUnlimited Kitchen and Bath Remodeling

This expansive elegant marble master bathroom is classic and rates highly on our list of favorite projects. Marble is always a good choice as it is a timeless look and adds to the value of your home. Marble can be one of the higher priced materials and also requires regular maintenance however marble bathrooms are gorgeous and allow flexibility and a vast amount of possibilities for application. This marble inspired bathroom was achieved by mixing real marble with porcelain tile that mimics the look of marble. The result is breath taking, low maintenance and a fraction of the cost! This master bath was expansive with over 300 square feet of usable space and a beautiful high ceiling. Sherry balanced out the room by creating a large double vanity designed with Waypoint cabinetry in painted linen. The higher elevation of the large tower between the vanities make it appear like a customized piece of furniture and the 4 sconces directly mounted to the mirrors are a nice detail that elevate the piece. The Ranier quartz countertops and Mayfair Volakas Giorgio Porcelain tile provide the subtle contrast of grey veining throughout the room. A 66” Draque tub with floor mounted waterfall faucet is beautifully surrounded with the same Volakes Giorgio tile. It is the perfect spot for our client to relax and take a load off while being showered by the light of the unique Alexandria Abstract Chandelier hanging above the tub. When designing the shower enclosure, Sherry blended different types of tile and tile sizes to create interest and movement. Cornice Perla Marble pieces create a beautiful transition between the glossy subway and the marble patterned tile. A bench for sitting is topped off with the same Ranier quartz used for the countertops and was added for the comfort of our client while using the Kohler handshower with extended hose. Bianco Perla basketweave marble are located in the niche and floor which add a different design component for interest. Our client opted to have her half bath remodeled as well. Many of the same components that we used in the master bathroom were used to make this other wise small space appear larger. Overall, we can’t say enough about how happy we were with the end result of this project. We were even happier to know that our client was over the moon about her dream master bathroom. Are you dreaming about your master bathroom and what possibilities we could accomplish in a marble look for you? We would love to hear from you, the options are amazing! .

Classic Black and White Marble Floor Renovated in Bamber Bridge

Tile Doctor Ltd

The tiles shown in the photographs below are classic distressed Black and White Italian Marble installed in the kitchen of a property in Bamber Bridge which is South of Preston. Some of the tiles had an issue with loose grout which I suspect was due to the suspended wooden floor and a small amount of movement had resulted in the grout cracking. Ideally more support would be needed under the floor to prevent this, in the meantime however I recommended removing the grout and replacing with a flexible grout product that could cope with the movement. The tiles also needed a clean, polish and reseal so it made sense to address the issue with the grout as part of the work. Working as a two-man team we started by cleaning the floor with a set of diamond burnishing pads starting with a coarse 400-grit, followed by 800 and 1500 grit. Water was used to lubricate the process and the floor was rinsed with water between pads with the fine slurry generated by the process extracted using a wet vacuum. These pads remove ingrained dirt and then slowly refine the appearance of the Marble building up its polished appearance in the process. The next step was to rake out all the grout which as discussed was compromised and needed replacing. We had to be very careful when removing the grout due to the electric heating mat under the floor, any damage to that would require ripping the floor up. With the old grout removed and the floor cleaned the floor was then grouted using Mapei Ultra-colour which is a flexible and fully waterproof grout more than suitable for this situation. Between us we managed to pack a lot into day one which was tough, however with the hardest tasks out of the way day two should be a lot easier. Day two started with an initial clean making sure to remove any excess grout smeared on the surface that can affect the look of the tile if not removed. This was followed by the application of the last of the set of burnishing pads which is a 3,000-grit pad that really brings up the polish on the marble. You only need a small amount of water sprayed onto the floor when applying this last pad so by late morning the floor was dry and ready for sealing. The customer wanted a better sheen appearance than they previously had, fortunately we find the Diamond burnishing pads do this well, they also tighten up the pores of the stone as well which means less sealer is needed. The floor was then sealed with Tile Doctor Colour Grow which is an impregnating sealer that improves colour and soaks into the stone occupying the pores and thereby preventing dirt from becoming ingrained. Once complete the floor looked great and the client was very happy. Sealers and Polish do wear down with use over time so before leaving I discussed our annual maintenance plan option which will ensure the appearance of the Marble floor always looks good. The plan involves returning once a year to further polish the floor with a high-grade burnishing pad and to add more sealer if required. We also discussed the use of Tile Doctor Stone Soap for regular cleaning, it is a pH neutral cleaner which is ideal for stone floors like Marble which are acid sensitive.

Things To Keep In Mind When Choosing A Tree

Five Star Tree Care

Picking out a tree for your yard is a big decision. Once a tree has been planted, there is no way to remove it without killing the tree. It’s important to keep a few things in mind when choosing what type of tree to plant and where to place it. That’s why Five Star Tree Services has put together a few tips on how to choose the right tree for your property. How Should You Choose a Tree? The purpose of the tree is the main thing to consider when choosing a species. Are you looking for a decorative tree that has attractive flowers or are you seeking a tree that will serve as a windbreaker for your main structure? Are you interested in planting a fruit-bearing tree or maybe a tree to offer shade in the summer months? Understanding what type of tree you need will help you choose one that you will love. Tree Maintenance All trees require a certain amount of love and care, some more than others. Think about the amount of time you are able to dedicate to tree care or the amount you are willing to budget for professional tree care each year. Deciduous trees are bright, colorful and shed their leaves on a regular basis which means you will need to put aside time for yard care. Evergreens on the other hand remain generally the same year-round and require much less dedicated care. How Big Do You Want It? Trees also come in various shapes and sizes. So it’s important to think about the size of your yard when planting a tree. You will also need to think about overhead and underground power lines when considering a new tree. Don’t think about the current size of the sapling, think about how tall and how deep the root systems will run once the tree has matured. Smaller properties can benefit from decorative, yet more compact species while homes with more space can benefit from larger species. Your Soil & Environment Every part of the country has a slightly different climate. Not all trees are able to thrive in every climate. Think about your typical weather patterns when choosing which tree to plant in your yard. Soil conditions also change from one location to the next. You can always ask one of our specialists to perform soil analysis and offer recommendations and which trees would grow well in your general location. How Five Star Tree Services Can Help We love trees as much as you do, and we want to make sure you choose the right tree for your property. If you are in need of help with choosing a tree, Richmond Hill tree planting, or just general tree care, Five Star Tree Services can help. We love taking care of trees and have been serving the Toronto area for generations.

Pondless Waterfalls Ideas for your Oklahoma Landscape

Continental Ponds

Pondless Waterfall Pondless Waterfalls are simply a re-circulating waterfall and/or stream without the presence of a pond. You can enjoy the sight and sound of running water without the maintenance of a pond. The waterfall is undoubtedly the most beautiful and favored feature in a water garden. If space is lacking in your yard or you have safety concerns with a pond, go Pondless! The name basically explains it all. It’s a waterfall and stream, without the pond. So why would you want a waterfall without a pond? The truth is that a Pondless Waterfall isn’t for everyone, but it can be a great alternative for someone who isn’t quite sure if a pond is right for their family. Safety Because there is no pool of water, a Pondless Waterfall is a great option if you are concerned about safety issues associated with a traditional pond. Cost Cost can be a big factor when considering the type of pond you want to build. In most cases, the price of a Pondless waterfall will be less than a pond, because there is less labor involved, as well as less rock and materials. Operating costs are also less. Because you’re not dealing with an established ecosystem, it’s not necessary to run the pump 24/7. Space The small size of the Pondless Waterfall means you can build and enjoy a beautiful waterfall anywhere in your yard. Maintenance - Taking care of your Pondless Waterfall is easy. Filling the reservoir every few weeks to compensate for water loss because of evaporation is all that’s required. Flexibility Perhaps the best part of the Pondless Waterfall is the possibility for the future. If you change your mind later, wishing you’d build a pond, that’s ok! If you leave enough room around the base of the waterfall, it’s easy to add a pond onto a Pondless Waterfall. Complete System It might be difficult to imagine a waterfall and stream without a pond. Where does the water go? A Pondless Waterfall works much like a regular pond. The hole, deeper than a normal pond, is dug then lined with rock and gravel, and filled with water. The water is then circulated from beneath the rocks and gravel by a pump that sits on the bottom, inside a Snorkel Vault and Centipede Module. A pipe runs from there up to a BioFalls Filter and into an overflowing waterfall, where it falls back into the reservoir. Since the water level never pools above the level of the rock and gravel fill, it give the appearance of a waterfall without a pond, when in fact, the “pond” is there but not visible. The Pondless Waterfall has made many water-lovers who were previously unable to indulge in the sweet sounds of falling water, very happy. It’s a great alternative for those who are trying to get their feet wet, or looking to fit a little bit of paradise into their own backyard. In other words, when all else fails … go Pondless!

Urban Hacienda

Catrina's Ranch Interiors

When it comes to building and decorating homes, this ain’t John and Betty Martin’s first rodeo. When the couple met and married in 1978, John’s work in the oil and gas industry took them to Houston from their native Mississippi. In the ensuing 36 years, their home base in Katy was joined first by a ranch in Wharton, then a lake house in Canyon Lake. The weekend getaway spots fulfilled the Martins’ yearning for, as Betty puts it, a return to “the country style of living” that these rural-raised transplants had grown up with and wanted to share with their own two children. Once the kids were grown and married, the Martins sold the ranch just outside Houston and began a quest to find a larger property, ideally about 2,000 acres. Additional must-haves beyond size included space for John’s big-game trophies and live-water access for wildlife; most of the couple’s other requirements were architectural or design-based. “We wanted a home that fit the beautiful hills of Texas where the American Indians had lived,” Betty says. But it wasn’t until John stopped in to visit a friend in Utopia while on a hunting trip that he — and soon Betty — realized that they had found their promised land. It was in this, the southernmost corner of the Hill Country, where they found the ranch they would dub Kemosabe, the backdrop for the dream home it would take them years to plan, build and decorate. And what a home it is. Incorporating influences from Spanish-style haciendas and classic ranches of Texas and the Southwest, the 17,000-square-foot stunner features rough-beam ceilings, dark wood and heavy iron accents, and dramatic touches throughout — arches, stained-glass windows, richly detailed boveda ceilings, and statement pieces such as the stand-alone copper vanities in the bathrooms and the colossal 7-foot antler chandelier over the pool table. Built around a large center courtyard, the home’s outdoor living features are as comfortable as those indoors. As artistic as it is inviting is the infinity-edged “spool” — “bigger than a spa, smaller than a pool,” Betty says. Regularly spaced nichos display crosses, pathways meander, and a prominent tower facilitates stargazing.

10 Things in Your House You Didn't Know Were Made Using CNC Machining

Mr Shishir

Computer numerical control or CNC machining is an automated manufacturing process used to make components of devices or appliances. It employs computer-aided software and codes to control complex machinery, including mills, grinders, lathes, and cutters. It is used to manufacture multiple parts from diverse raw materials such as aluminium, brass, acrylic, plastics, and wood. It is a subtractive process in which a solid piece of material is carved into a 2D or 3D object of any shape or size. This enables the creation of prototypes for parts and finished products. It also enables automated mass production of parts such as fittings, housings, brackets, gears, fasteners, shafts, electrical contacts, and moulds using specific materials. This process is a quick, safe, versatile, precise, and cost-effective production method. These advantages allow it to be used for various applications in industries ranging from healthcare and electronics to aerospace and the military. Moreover, it is used to create parts for several objects you use at home every day. Here are 10 things in your house that you may not know are manufactured using CNC machining: 1. Kitchen Appliances Several manufacturers employ CNC machines to create heavy-duty parts for durable kitchen appliances. Through pre-programmed software, the machine produces parts of different shapes, sizes, colours, and textures using a variety of materials like metals and plastic. CNC-machined components of kitchen appliances include metal plates, covers, textured handles, pins, rings, and wires. These small but essential parts improve the utility of your everyday kitchen appliances such as the electric can opener, dishwasher, hand blender, grinder, and coffee brewing machine. 2. Electronic Devices Components of electronic devices are usually small in size and have fine details and shapes that require precision machining. CNC machines offer the flexibility and efficiency to manufacture large and small parts of various shapes, sizes, and materials required to complete electronic appliances. CNC machining enables accurate, computerized prototyping and the production of detailed, intricate, and sensitive parts from a wide range of metals. It can be used to produce parts such as connectors, housing, wires, heat sinks, semiconductors, and fixtures. It can also be used to create the chassis or the framework of various electronic appliances. You can find CNC-machined parts in the following electronic home appliances:

Laptops and Computers
Mobile phones
Cameras
Television
Speakers
Keyboard
Mouse
Router
Refrigerator
Air conditioner
Washing machine
Fans, air purifiers, and humidifiers
Robotic vacuum cleaners
Remote control

3. Household Items Many household items contain parts that are manufactured using CNC. Some examples include components such as plates, springs, wires, handles, and housing that fit into many utility-based products. Utility product manufacturers use CNC machines to produce large quantities of inexpensive household objects in various textures, shapes, and colors. These include items like brooms, trays, lids, flashlights, zippers, textured pens, shoe soles, measuring cups, salt and pepper shakers, holders, coasters, and more. 4. Watches The intricacies of your wristwatch demand perfection. Some watches you have maybe handmade, but there can be scope for human error regardless of the craftsmanship. Watch manufacturers prefer using CNC machines to cut out the minute parts of a watch with great precision and uniformity. For instance, watch gears must be accurately carved out of metal so that the teeth of the gears fit perfectly into each other. CNC machining offers the ideal solution to create multiple, standardized pieces, including the gears, the framework, and the strap. Typically, a 5-axis CNC machine is used for making a watch. It can exactly cut pieces of metal for each component as required. This not only saves time but offers consistency, accuracy, high quality, and cost-effective production of watches. 5. Jewelry CNC machines are increasingly used in the jewellery industry as they offer creative versatility. All sorts of jewelry such as rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, cufflinks, tie pins, and parts of a belt can be made using this process. Several manufacturers use a 5-axis CNC milling machine to craft bespoke jewelry from precious metals like gold and silver. They also use the machine to create unique, personalized jewellery designs by engraving inscriptions and intricate details into it. Some jewelers also use it to precisely cut precious stones like diamonds. 6. Musical Instruments If you have a musical instrument at home, it may have been made with CNC-based production. Manufacturers can mass produce musical instruments using CNC router machines. These machines offer the advantages of rapid prototyping and accurate reproduction of high-quality musical instruments, offering the option of customization. The necks, bodies, and heads of musical instruments such as ukuleles, violins, and electric guitars can be easily made with wood. The tone and sound controls are usually made using plastics. 7. Furniture Furniture and other architectural elements in your house such as chairs, staircases, windows, cabinets, tables, doors, screens, fences, and gates are often CNC-machined. Furniture manufacturers employ wood carving and cutting machines to carve beautiful patterns and ornamental features into the material to create tasteful furniture. This helps them mass-produce affordable furniture using diverse raw materials such as wood, metal, and plastics. It also helps them accurately customize designs based on the requirements. 8. Pipes and Railing The pipes and railings in your house are also made using CNC machines. Construction material manufacturing companies use lathes and punching machines to make multiple tubes, fittings, and shafts out of plastics and alloys like stainless steel. They also use CNC bending machines to add bends and angles to tubes, pipes, railing, and arches, which are required for plumbing and construction. 9. Interior Decor With CNC machining, decor manufacturers can create innovative and artistic designs for your house. Interior decoration including lighting fixtures, lampshades, and art pieces of different shapes, colors, and sizes can be created by cutting patterns into materials like metal, plastics, or wood. This allows manufacturers to create original interior décor for a unique, aesthetic ambience. 10. Toys Various toys such as building blocks, toy cars, dollhouses, fidget spinners, spinning tops, flutes, rocking horses, and miniatures are made using CNC machining. Even pieces of board games such as chess and monopoly are made using this type of manufacturing. Toy manufacturers generally use a 3-axis or 5-axis CNC machine to create their products out of materials such as plastics, metals, or wood. This offers easy reproducibility, allowing manufacturers to create identical, intricate pieces required to build a toy or game. CNC Machining Services Most household items you see and use on a daily basis can be made using CNC machines. The process helps manufacturers create anything from tiny parts of a device to complete customized products. CNC machines are used to create a wide variety of products ranging from architectural elements and utility-based items to essential parts of a home appliance. To build prototypes, components, or finished products, manufacturers even outsource CNC machining services from custom manufacturing professionals. The ease of production, precision, and efficiency offered by CNC machining explains its ubiquity in all industries. No wonder more and more manufacturers prefer using it to create so many parts and products you use regularly.
