Tools You Need To Get The Job Done

28 Aug

An epoxy floor paint is one of the best ways to get a shiny, slip-resistant, durable surface.  Combining the resin and hardening agents produces a hard epoxy coating that can withstand spills, fluctuating temperatures and heavy traffic without showing signs of wear and tear.  Fortunately, the distinctiveness found in epoxy flooring doesn’t mean that the application process is laden with complicated steps.  Besides the epoxy compound itself, there are only a few tools that are required for proper installation.

In preparing the floor for epoxy application, the number of tools needed varies depending on how much repair the floor needs.  First, regardless of its condition, the floor needs to be cleaned.  Using a product that removes grit and mortar, the floor should be scrubbed of excess buildup with a push broom or mop.  This step is necessary in order for the epoxy to properly adhere to the floor.  Some places offer a flooring prep solution that is a non-corrosive, water diluted, concrete etching compound that completely removes anything that will hinder a tight bond between the floor and the epoxy.

Turn The Attic Into A Bathroom

05 May

Have you ever had a problem when there are not enough bathrooms in your own home? The solution of course will be to construct another one. So why not turn the attic into a bathroom?

Turning the attic into a bathroom or any other living space requires planning. The key to making this happen is coming up with the perfect design that will allow you to maximize every square foot of this place.

You can’t have a bathroom without a shower. Since there are so many to choose from, you should go for the wet room style shower to increase the sense of space. Make sure you consult with a good supplier on the showerhead and tiles who can give good advice to make the room feel spacious and light.

If you want to put a bathtub there, make sure the structure in the bottom can handle the weight. These same goes for your vanity table and toilet by supporting the walls and floor. For those using wood, replace the old 2×4’s or 2×6’s with 2×8’s. If this is not possible, add more of the old ones to support it.

Homeowners who are using wood for the renovated attic must apply oil to protect this against water. You can even use the same material for the flooring since there are variants that are engineered for use in the bathroom. Read the rest of this entry »
