Has anyone used BM Mascarpone?
Comments (28)Hi, Well, this has been journey for us. The BM Mascarpone was looking slightly yellow next to the quartz we liked. And then the quartz began to look somewhat lavender-ish against the Mascarpone. So of course that led to thinking we needed a warmer countertop. I finally got fed up and took my quartz and paint samples to my local Guiry's. We had used a color consultant there before, and we took our chances in the hopes she'd still be there--and she was. We already have Nimbus on the kitchen walls, with the Mascarpone trim for the baseboards and doors throughout the house. The gal at Guiry's suggested we keep the quartz we like, but go with BM Simply White for the cabinets. I was worried about a new color clashing with Mascarpone, but she assured me they will not only be far enough away from each other, but will complement one another. We took home a large board and painted it with Simply White, just to get a feel for how it will all tie in--and I do believe it will work. Simply White is still warm, but does not appear to have yellow under-tones. I'm still nervous about it all--and we're just in the beginning stages of this entire project, but I am not pulling my hair out any more...at least not yet...haha! Best of luck to you in your project....See MoreHas anyone used BM Grey Cashmere?
Comments (13)Edgecomb has NO blue. If anything it veers tan. In our light (NorthEast) Grey Cashmere runs very greeny blue. You could definitely try Horizon OC 53 which tends to run blue. Could also try Moonshine which would be slightly greyer and quite a bit warmer/greener IMO. My friend swears by paper white and paper white 50% intensity which is a very neutral, bluish, very light grey (one step up from Sterling)....See MoreHas anyone used BM Tyler Taupe?
Comments (4)Yes, I've used all 3 colors on that card! Here is my foyer that has Tyler Taupe on the wall with the faux finish (is has a black glaze rag off technique on it). Lenox Tan is the wall without the faux finish. I just painted part of the living room Shaker Beige. All the floors in my house are red oak and I think it goes very well. Also if you can see the trip at the top of the faux finished wall, that is red oak. I can get some other pictures if you need them. Robbi...See MoreHas anyone used Protec LVP by Diamond W?
Comments (51)This will be my final update. My Diamond W Coretek "Breckenridge" has been installed into my new home. I have not yet painted the walls or moved in, but I feel I can make a judgement on the floor. I am VERY happy with how it looks. It has a matte look to it (not glossy), which I like. With many fake floors, if the sunlight's glare shines on the floor, the glare often highlights fake-looking indentations that manufacturers put into the planks to make them look rustic. I hate that, and I am happy to report that when you look at these planks in the sun's glare, what I see is simply a grain pattern (no weird divots or anything like that) that I feel actually looks pretty real! While there are a lot of "knots," I really like how it looks and I do not feel that there are too many knots. This install job is not glued to the foundation (downstairs) or glued/screwed to the subfloor (upstairs). It is floating. Yet, when I walk on it, it feels very solid (as if it were glued down). There is a "quarter round" (or something like that, I forget the name), along the bottom of the normal baseboard. This extra baseboard piece is attached to the wall yet is not attached to the flooring. The flooring is then NOT installed all the way to the wall, but about 1/2" short of the wall. This extra baseboard piece covers this gap between the flooring's edge and the wall, and the gap allows the flooring to expand and contract without buckling or bubbling up. (Note that this extra piece has not yet been installed in the two photos shown below). As of now, without having lived on it yet, I couldn't be happier. My flooring guy turns out to be great, and he said he is a fan of this particular Diamond W product. He really had nothing negative to say about it. His only advice is that the floor can temporarily "buckle" or "bubble" in areas, most likely facing east or west, where you have a patio door with no overhang where the floor is exposed to daily periods of very hot direct sunlight. So, in those fairly rare cases, he recommends a window covering to diffuse the light/heat. On a side note, shame on Diamond W for having such a horrible website. I mean, seriously, shame on you. You give your customers one terrible photo of this product/color, and you expect us to be able to make a quality assessment? And, in your photo, you actually have a very poor install job shown with planks that are not properly staggered? There are some industries that simply need to experience a revolution of efficiency, and the flooring industry is one of them. Shaking my head... A final note: To anyone seriously considering this product, I highly recommend you simply buy an entire box of the stuff in the color you prefer for around $75 and lay it out yourself. I don't think any quality judgements can be made with just a sample from a flooring store. I was able to get a box delivered to me in less than one week....See Moreboystown
