Would You Put BR-111 Brazilian Teak in the Kitchen?
Comments (2)We put Teak in our kitchen recently. I think it is Brazilian. It is 3/4 by 4. It is stained with Iron Oxide. It looks fantastic. I'm pretty sure the staining part was done in China though.I have been very happy with the upkeep. I spill water on it sometimes I miss when loading dishwasher and don't realize there is something in the cup. It cleans up easily. I use Bruce floor spray on it. The coffee pot leaked and water sat on the floor for about 8 hrs and it did not buckle or change color. When DH picked it out I did not like the color at all, Too orangy bright I thought. He said trust me I have seen it installed. When I saw it installed I could not believe it was the same floor. It looked like a rich antique piece of furniture. Anyway we are very happy with it! They use teak in boats but I don't know if it is the same variety. sheshe...See MoreAny experience with Kerlite Plus?
Comments (0)I have a huge open living room (shaped like an L: 40' on the long sides, 24' on the short sides, with 10' ceilings on one side and 28' on the other) and am looking to redo the floor. (It's currently acid stained concrete which we love, but the upkeep is too much with the scratches). Obviously, standard size slabs would look really busy.(12" x 12" and 24" x 24" would look pretty bad in this huge of a room.) I've been reading about these giant porcelain slabs (3m x 1m, 3/8" thick) called "Kerlite Plus." They came out on 2008. Does anyone have any info or experience with this product? Do you have any other suggestions for low-maintenance flooring in really big slabs? We want something nice (no suggestions of carpet or vinyl please -grin-). Thanks!...See MoreScreened in porch

Comments (6)I have used LVP for clients (not my first recommendation). Of the two you posted, I like the second choice. It has a realistic look, and it doesn’t have a pinky undertone that I see in the Cortec. Also, just noticed it has a cork backing. Ask if it helps muffle noise. B.M Alexandra Beige possibly could be a nice compliment....See MoreRelated Professionals
