Decorative Wall Panels
Decorative protection panels are a fashionable and durable solution for hard walls in residential and commercial settings. These settings could include residences, apartments, condos, vacation homes, cabins, tiny houses, healthcare, education, retail, museums, and offices. Some of these protective wall treatments may take the form of wall coverings, polyvinyl chloride, fiber reinforced laminates (FRLs), or fibercore.
Paint Solutions & Techniques
Paints are classified by the resin type. Resin types include oils/alkyds, latex/acrylic, epoxies, and urethanes. The most common types are oil and latex paints. One of the differences between oil and latex paint is the curing time. Oil can take up to 10 days to dry. While latex may be dry to touch in two to four hours, it can take up to 30 days for a maximum cure.
Exterior Wood Siding Selection & Installation
In determining the grade of wood for exterior siding, the number of knots represent the perceived quality and price. For example, knotty wood is usually around half the price of clear wood. Even if using clear Cedar siding, there is a strong light to dark contrast throughout the pieces of wood. An installer needs to sort for light and dark pieces in order to blend the wood into an even visual flow. If the planks are not sorted by shade, the result will likely be a ‘staccato’ or checkerboard look which may or may not be the visual impact that you want on your siding.

Your home is your personal getaway and relaxation space. Make it even more relaxing by the addition of a personal steam shower spa. For residential applications, necessary equipment includes a generator, a steam head, and a control. An optional, but useful, accessory is a shower bench. In commercial applications like health clubs, hotels, and spas; these components are the same as for residential. The only difference is the components must be durable enough for heavy use. The Shower Council of America provides information on the requirements of showers.
