Stain or Color Concrete Seattle














Coloring Concrete can be accomplished in many ways. Concrete can be integrally colored when it is mixed. The color is added as the concrete is mixed and then is poured into place. The concrete is then finished with a stamped pattern Another technique we use is dying or acid staining the surface of the concrete. Both options have advantages and can be in conjunction with one another to truly create a "one of a kind" concrete floor. Call to schedule a free estimate of your project. Jake Sausman 425 471 0824

Acid Stain
















Acid staining a micro topping is a very appealing floor covering solution. Acid Stain color variations are incredibly mottled, sealing the final product will "pop" color and protect the floor for its lifetime with minimal maintenance. Call today to discuss your project. Jake Sausman 425 471 0824

WarmlyYours Intros Radiant Heating for Showers

WarmlyYours has launched low voltage radiant heating that is safer for use in the shower. Imagine how good it could feel to slide out of your warm bed and into an equally warm and inviting shower? Perhaps that is what we were thinking about when we developed our newest item! Our low voltage system works especially well for larger, luxurious showers with a European curbless design. Offered in several sizes, the 24 volt warming rolls and companion transformers are available to accommodate your shower application. Simple to install over a waterproof membrane, this system is designed to warm shower floors, tub surrounds, steam showers and saunas.

24 Volt TempZone Warming Roll

TempZone™ floor warming systems are engineered with an insulated copper alloy resistance warming cable sewn to a fiberglass mesh backing. The warming cable is evenly spaced in 2″ serpentine loops and provides 25% more heating capacity than competitive products. Measuring less than 1/8″ thick, the mesh system installs easily under tile and stone and is offered in a variety of lengths to accommodate your project requirements. TempZone™ is listed by Underwriters Laboratories to US and Canadian standards and is covered by our 10 year, NoNonsense™ Warranty.

Floor Transitions, Reducers, Thresholds For Tile, Harwood, Vinyl, Concrete Staining

Home

Floor transitions,reducers,thresholds at doorways have been a concern of mine after I graduated from college. College went well...but here I am discussing the importance of proper transition placement.
Nothing irks me more when I walk on to a job and notice a transition on the wrong side of the door, not lined up straight and/or the height of the two different materials do not match up.
A perfect transition is one that is the same height, is directly under the swinging part of the door and is lined up square under the door. It is the little details that make or break the final product of the job.

Statements Distinctive Tile & Stone

Honesty seems to be difficult thing to impress on clients these days. Our world has been turned upside down and backwards with wall street bailouts, CEO parties and bonuses, and record profits for big oil companies. As a business owner I have to sell myself, my product and the customer has to trust me.
With that in mind, Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Ryan Calkins the president of Statements Distinctive Tile & Stone.
Having never met Ryan in person, he immediately impressed me with his product line, the immense amount of tips, products, bios and much more found at www.ciaotile.com,
and his trustworthiness over the phone.
I plan to visit their showroom in Seattle's very own Georgetown where I know I will find modern, contemporary, avant guard selection of tiles and more luxury classics like Jeffrey Court Ceramic Tile.
These product lines will be nothing like you have seen before...especially if you are shopping for tiles at large depot style stores where the quality suffers and is seconds at best.
Trust is a hard thing to come by these days soooooo designers, customers, installers, industry leaders do your homework. Get to know suppliers, manufacturers and start a good healthy trustworthy relationship from the get go. Our ultimate goal is to provide our customers with the best of everything and in turn our reward is a lifelong customer.

Designers Choice Products Found at Ecohaus In Seattle

When I asked one of my favorite designers, at Space A Design Collective in Seattle, Emily Lauderback where she shops for some of her products she mentioned Ecohaus. Being in the trade of flooring I did not have a clue as to what store she was talking about. So I decided to check it out.

Here is what I thought. A store that has all the major products to give your home a face lift...with a eco-friendly touch. Tiles, Flooring, Hardware, Cabinents, Countertops the works. Keep in mind that most all eco friendly products will be more costly than non eco friendly products...this topic could be reserved for its own blog. Think of it as an investment in the earth.

If browsing is your thing you will not have a problem here...lots of space to ponder your renovation dreams and products to boot.
