ZERO HEIGHT, ZERO PROBLEM. | Flush fitting shower trays are appreciated by design-conscious bathroom users. In the past, such shower trays had a tendency to pose installation challenges. Now, Duravit has introduced its solution – which allows for installation after fl oor tiles have been set. A height-adjustable frame makes it possible to achieve a perfectly-suited space for the tray, while its outlet can be precisely positioned by means of a template. A new and completely watertight drain system prevents the possibility of water damage and if need be, the tray can be removed later to provide access for servicing. | Design by Frank Huster | Available at www.ShopStudio41.com

This style of home is not common to the area, and it’s becoming a lost art.Several elevations were drawn, but the client kept gravitating toward the all-brick English revival elements. They wanted the best of both worlds: a vintage 1800s look with modern amenities incorporating communal spaces, but also private areas. Full bed brick and full thickness manmade limestone, intricate gables, plus the builder’s perfectionist tendencies resulted in a stunning showcase for the entire team. Bill Lindhout Photography

Elegance often starts with simplicity, regardless of the style of the space. This Midcentury Modern kitchen has a 24x48 porcelain floor tile installed. Bigger is better, even in the smallest of areas. When stepping to a 12x24 tile, the reality of that choice, often creates the space to date quicker due to the increased grout. Also, a product on the floor must appear to have the strength and depth to support the visual size of a room. That is created by size or by using tiles to work as a team. Stepping to a 12x24 tile will often cause a home owner to feel as if they must remodel once 3-4 years have passed. Simply, a larger format tile will often increase the longevity of a home, space or project, it's due to the simplicity and decrease in grout. This home has porcelain countertops installed. Porcelain countertops are a choice many don't know they can make. Porcelain handles heat incredibly well, It looks incredible and handles abuse, with no real maintenance required, where stone requires a lot of up-keep. We have been walking on porcelain for decades. It's strange it has taken so long to create porcelain countertops. To be successful with the install of a porcelain countertop, you must hire the right company that specializes in installing that type of product. Not always, but often, a stone countertop installer is not interested or trained in the install of a porcelain countertop. Laminam is probably one of the most successful porcelain countertops to install. They don't have a tendency to hairline facture at install like the other bands.
