Jones Hardwoods has continued to grow during slow economy

Any good business has to be able to adapt and change with demand. Through the dramatic economic shifts of the past few years many companies have faltered or failed altogether, especially those having anything to do with the housing market. Yet a few have been versatile enough to take advantage of what opportunities are still available and have not only remained viable but have actually grown. This is the story of Jones Hardwood Flooring, a business that has called Johnson County home from its inception and which has worked hard to build a strong reputation for quality products that are shipped nationwide and beyond.

Jones Hardwood Flooring officially began back in 1998 when Johnny Bauguess and his business partner and nephew, Greg Jones, bought the company from Gregs father, Harold Jones. At the time, the companys focus was mainly on installation and finishing. The flooring itself was all coming in from distributors and nothing was made in house. Much of the flooring was narrow strips ranging between 2 inches to 3 inches, and most of the demand was for gymnasium floors in schools.

According to Bauguess, jobs were being taken all up and down the east coast from the Maryland border to Florida. Even now the company still replaces or installs gym floors, albeit in much smaller numbers and all relatively local. Changing with the times, demand now calls for mostly wide plank flooring and even with the housing bust starting back in 2008, Bauguess has been working hard to provide increasingly better products to meet the growing orders.

Over the past few years the company has grown to begin its own manufacturing process, opening up a plant in the Johnson County Industrial Park in Doe Valley and now up to nearly 20 employees in total. Purchasing wood from local yards in Trade and the surrounding counties of Western North Carolina, Jones Hardwood Flooring operates their own dry kiln and pretty much handles every step of the process from rough boards to finished flooring.

In fact, the only thing that the company still regularly sends off for are engineered and pre-finished products, and even in those scenarios Bauguess explained that it is their own rough finished materials that are being treated. We manufacture just about everything we install, Bauguess said. Its been about four years since we started manufacturing and so far were having probably the best year since 2008. We were buying select flooring in wide widths but it all came in short lengths. The customers kept complaining and thats when I wanted to go into manufacturing.

Whereas most customers were looking for longer lengths because of ease of installation and cosmetic appeal, most of the distributors were sending material only one to three feet long. The problem came from the fact that many companies were trying to save money by getting only the best wood out of lower grade logs. Making the leap to supply their own flooring, Jones now has the capability to offer a much wider range of products as well, including the most popular recent development, reclaimed lumber.

Considering how aged, weathered, and worm eaten the board are initially, most people would not consider the lumber from old barns and houses as the top selling source for flooring in million dollar homes but that is exactly the case. With a little work and finishing, this much-used wood becomes a true work of art, with each board having its own little unique qualities. Used in everything from commercial restaurants to rustic cabins and to high end hunting lodges, reclaimed lumber has been the hot product of the past couple years and Bauguess has been very busy as a result.

We ship a lot of reclaimed to Cape Cod, Massachusetts right now, Bauguess said. We get orders every week from them. We ship to the west coast, even to the west coast of Canada. We send to California, Texas, Lake Tahoe, and a lot of the high-end areas especially with the reclaimed. Most of the reclaimed goes into million dollar homes and is the most popular that we ship. We do some local reclaimed. We started a job today in the Grandfather Country Club but its all really high-end houses. A lot of it comes off local barns, some out of beams we rip, some we buy from a reclaim company. If we can find a barn or an old house, we get it. Thats why its a big deal in Canada. They have all the natural resources, all the timber, but theyre looking for the reclaimed.

TD Garden is undergoing a $70 million renovation effort.Credit: Delaware North

Guests might see some Pardon our appearance signs at the TD Garden over the next several months, but the ongoing $70 million renovations at the arena look like theyll make for a recharged fan experience.

The renovations were announced earlier this year and detailed today by Garden officials at a tour for members of the media. While much of the work being done will indeed leave a visual marka new pro shop, new food setups, and a redesigned concourse among themthe biggest change might not be visible.

Delaware North Companies, which owns and operates the Garden, is installing 400 antennas to facilitate a high-density Wi-Fi network for fans. The system will be powered by Cisco.

Garden President Amy Latimer said slow Internet connections in the Garden have been a common complaint of patrons, who say processes like sending emails and posting to social media sites can sometimes be interrupted in the crowded venue.

Gillette Stadium currently offers its own Wi-Fi network, while Fenway Park hopes to offer a public-facing Wi-Fi network by the start of the 2015 season, according to Red Sox Vice President of IT Brian Shield. (Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry also owns Boston.com and The Boston Globe.)

The antennas at the Garden will be installed throughout the arena, including in ceilings. The Garden is also exploring installing antennas within the arenas hockey boards.

The renovations will bring new looks to the second, fourth, and seventh floors. The second floor will host a new pro shop. Previously, the pro shop had been located on the first floor. The new shop will be about 6,000 square feet, which Latimer said will about double its size. The second floor location will also allow fans who are already at an event to visit the shop during it. The previous shops location required fans to leave their ticketed event in order to visit.

Just for kicks, heres the Bruins bear in a hard hat in what will eventually become the pro shop.

The fourth and seventh floor concourses will receive new flooring, and LED screens will be installed on the walls, which can show photos uploaded by fans to social media through the new wireless network. Other digital signs will show sponsor messages. Images of sports stars from the past will also adorn the walls.

This article, including a sidebar on the latest innovations in floor markings, originally appeared in the June print issue of IMPO.

According to OSHA, slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents. They cause 15 percent of all accidental deaths, and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities.

But just because flooring is constantly underfoot doesnt mean its also constantly top-of-mind. Many people give little thought to the flooring they work and walk on each day until an injury happens, says Chuck Haun, Director of Field Sales & Technology, Milamar Coatings, L.L.C., a company that specializes in the formulation and distribution of high performance adhesives and coatings. And while there are a variety of conditions that affect the friction on floors surfaces, says Haun spills being a major culprit the wrong floor type or coating can lead to defective flooring surfaces as well.

Construction Project

Concrete floors are ubiquitous in manufacturing facilities, but cracks, holes and deteriorated joints can compromise the safety of a facility. According to Wade Christensen, vice president of Niagara Machine, provider of industrial surface preparation equipment, many people fail to notice the hazards created by floors because their safety focus tends to be more on equipment. But oftentimes in the case of flooring, equipment damage is not the only consideration.

A spalled joint, one where the edges of the joint have started to break, not only can damage forklifts, but repeated heavy equipment traffic can actually worsen the problem, adds Niagaras Mike Trotta. But Trotta also points out additional problems created by concrete floor imperfections. Many facility managers are aware of the trip hazards created by cracks and holes in concrete floors. The problem is they fail to notice bacteria and dirt containment points that these flaws create. These collection points are a problem for any facility as they can collect dirt compromising cleanliness and production processes.

Fullerton, CA Terra Universal, the leader in modular cleanroom designs, furnishings and equipment, introduces an innovative three-part system to convert a standard office into an ISO-5 cleanroom, saving time and money compared to a new construction project.

The modular components of the Conversion System include ceiling grid, BioSafe Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) or CPVC wall panel system, and a choice of flooring options to meet cleanliness requirements. Compared to a modular cleanroom, these components become permanent fixtures, but dont create unusable space associated with a room-within-a-room.

Complete installation services include seismic load analysis, HVAC integration, and coordination with a contractor to ensure compliance with local building code, if applicable. The drop-ceiling grid is sturdy enough to support the required fan/filter units and lighting options.

Terra Universal has over 35-years of experience manufacturing modular cleanrooms and other critical environment solutions. For more information about BioSafe Cleanroom Conversion System, visit http://www.terrauniversal.com/cleanrooms/cleanroom-conversion-system-x.php.
