Many Homeowners See Benefit of Using Tile Inspectors

By Admin

Although we are considered to be a nation of do-it-yourselfers, many projects are outside our ability. In this case, we hire these jobs out for other people to do. Tiling a kitchen floor or a shower are just two examples.

"Our typical customer is one who has had work done in their home recently and the tilework has failed or they simply aren't satisfied with the results," says David Taylor, a tile inspector and director of Tile-experts.com. "Most often, they have sufficient reason to believe it wasn't done well. Technology has given our industry new materials and methods to use, but we see few installers taking the training that's needed to install tile correctly. Even though the tile industry has seen large increases in market share, the amount of skilled people to install tile properly has not kept pace."

That's where Taylor steps in and looks at items ranging from subfloor preparation to the tile itself. "Tilesetting is one of the few forensically perfect trades. There's nothing an installer can do to hide their mistakes." If there are faults in the installation, Taylor prepares a report for the client and if need be, appears in court for them. He and other inspectors are considered expert witnesses.

How does a homeowner prevent a faulty job? The answer is simple, Taylor says. "First and foremost, check and verify your prospective installers' credentials. In some jurisdictions in the U.S. and Canada, we are required by law to produce them before we walk on a jobsite. Few people know that tilesetters take as much training as an electrician or a gasfitter." The second way is to ask for a list of the installers' recent and long-term projects. Lastly, Taylor offers pre-project inspections, well before the first tile is laid. "Prevention is key. You have to know what you're doing because the costs of fixing a poor tile installation are greater than having to change a piece of baseboard or to re-paint a wall."

New Porcelain Roof Slate Launched on to the US market

By Admin

NEW CERAMIC SLATE FROM THE TILE MAN!
       
    It is actually quite difficult to imagine a product this handsome that is also exceptionally competent in protecting the dwelling underneath. Nonetheless, this ceramic slate merges the best of these traits and more!

   
This Slate can handle just about any weather Mother Nature flings its way.
That includes hail, which can be an anathema to some slates and/or tile by causing breakage. Of great importance to buildings in forested areas, ceramic slate does not burn.
For your unique hideaway, either in the deep woods, on the mountains or by the seashore... these tiles shield your habitat from heavy wind-driven rains as well as acid rains.
   

They offer incredible and special climate armors. A heavy blizzard resulting in collecting large amounts of snow will not bother a slate roof that you could walk on. Conditions that included continual freezing and thawing have no effect on this material at all. (Note: the proper application of snow guards distributes the collective weight of a winter storm.)
       
       
This superior roofing material perceptibly enhances the desirable look of a European countryside!

Lighting up Your Life

By Paul Forte

You are visiting a friend that has just had a beautiful kitchen remodel done. It is a lovely kitchen with stunning granite countertops and a sharp looking tile backsplash. The glass door cabinets are filled with the good china. Somehow after spending a small fortune the room still looks a bit drab.

So many times people spend a wad of money renovating a room and neglect to take the lighting into consideration. Properly placed lighting of the correct type can literally make or break a room. That tile backsplash can be brought to life with some low voltage linear lighting. The china in those glass door cabinets can really show itself off with some puck lights and glass shelves.

Recessed lighting and a combination of switching options can give a room many personalities to suit any mood. From bright light for working conditions to subtle lighting for a romantic setting can all be accomplished with switches and dimmers. Accent lighting to highlight certain aspects of a project that were carefully planned but would barely be noticed otherwise. Cove lighting above crown moldings helps focus attention to the detail of the room.

In a bathroom lighting is very important and many times overlooked. Placing recessed lights above can cause grief if a supplemental light is not placed on the wall near the vanity. When shaving or applying makeup those overhead lights cause unwanted shadows. By placing an additional light such as a wall sconce can eliminate that problem.

When you carefully plan that next renovation project or new home be sure the lighting is well planned out as well.
