Home & Garden Show 2009

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Thank you to everyone for coming out to visit our booth at this year’s Home & Garden Show at BC Place.  Our Casa Royale video presentation & slot machine certainly drew a crowd!

The show was a lot of fun for our designers, project managers, and trades, who played a vital role in its success.  We thoroughly enjoyed learning about your renovation projects and hope we were able to provide you with valuable information for your upcoming renovations.  For those of you who missed the show, here’s Casa Royale – a spoof on Casino Royale….

Trade Talk: Schluter Workshop

Monday, February 16th, 2009

The Schluter workshop was an invaluable experience.  It was run very professionally and included introdutions to many of their products as well as hands on experience installing.  The Schluter system is a well thought out system that is engineered to work without second guessing your product or the install.  The purpose of Schluter varies from tile installation, to waterproofing membrane, and even deck installs.

The use of Ditra, a flexible membrane, allows tile to be installed with unmodified thin-set.  The Ditra’s dovetail grooves lock the tile in place and the membrane allows for flex, which eliminates cracking if installed correctly.  This type of install eliminates many problems associated with exterior installation and commercial stress.  Kerdi, is a thinner membrane that is primarily used in shower applications.  It eliminates the old and more, challenges waterproofing method, which requires a much more skilled worker.

These two applications are just part of the Schluter system which was introduced to me at the workshop.  After the two days spent working with and around Schluter, designers, plumbing inspectors, tile setters and myself were all impressed.  Simply a great product that sells itself!
