Construction projects are currently in progress in the Webster City school district. Future projects have been planned and outlined for the summer months.

High school

Terrazzo flooring: Superintendent Mike Sherwood said that the terrazzo flooring is almost complete in the complex addition. It has been laid, poured, ground, sealed and waxed.

Heating and cooling system: Continued work is being done on the system, it has to be finished before the gym floor can be installed. Sherwood said that it should hopefully be finished in the next couple weeks.

Gym floor prep has been completed. The concrete must have a certain variance, and only three or four areas of the floor needed to be ground and filled.

Gym floor installation will start in late March. Sherwood said it will take between 6 and 8 weeks to complete - that includes laying the floor, staining and painting it.

Bleachers are due to arrive in mid-May. Installation will take 4 to 6 weeks, finishing in approximately mid-June.

Tile installation is mostly complete in the bathrooms. The main bathrooms located near the main west entrance have been completed and ceilings are in the process of being installed. Tile work on the bathrooms by the auditorium is nearly completed. Tile work in the connecting hallways by the old locker rooms that connect the new addition is finished.

Ceiling installation in the showers is currently taking place in the locker rooms. The ceilings are hard not drop ceilings.

Work on the parking lots by the high school office, south and main west entrance connecting to Bank Street will start soon. The design for the circle drive near the auditorium entrance has also been approved by the city.

Keeping up with the latest trends in the world of floor coverings, Coswick Hardwood has launched a new collection of engineered oak flooring prefinished extra-durable aluminum oxide matte finish, Signature Oak Collection.

Mississauga, ON (PRWEB) March 01, 2012

The new flooring collection features seven designer colors, all of which satisfy consumer demand for natural, soft and earthly tones in hardwood flooring.

Signature Oak is one of the most creative Coswick flooring lines, stated Tatyana Zhigar, principal designer at Coswick Hardwood. This collection was inspired by the element of Water, and our designers relied on richness of color in order to capture and communicate the essence of this element in its various forms.

The new collection comes prefinished with lacquer CosNanoTech+, an innovative finishing technology that is distinguished by superb durability and high wear resistance. Through excellent adhesion to wood, CosNanoTech+ lacquer seals wood pores, creating a perfectly smooth and fully transparent surface.

All floors in the new collection have matte finish and very low surface sheen. The main benefit of matte finish is that it puts emphasis on richness of color and wood texture, as well as creates a very forgiving, easy-maintenance floor surface that disguises footprints and dust.

Signature Oak collection is manufactured as 3-layer floating engineered CosLoc 5G flooring. This innovative technology is rapidly gaining popularity, as CosLoc 5G flooring maintains superb dimensional stability even under elevated moisture conditions. In addition, installing CosLoc 5G click flooring is a simple DIY procedure, which significantly reduces installation costs. This type of flooring is recommended for a wide range of public and residential interiors, and can be used below, on, or above grade.

Adhesives used in all Coswick engineered floors are 100% formaldehyde free, while Coswick lacquer finishes contain no harmful VOC emissions, making it an environmentally friendly flooring solution.

Signature Oak flooring comes with a 25 year residential finish warranty, as well as lifetime structural warranty, which ensures that hardwood flooring will retain its structural integrity for a lifetime.

Johns Flooring and Welcome Home Furniture, previously Johns Flooring, opened its new, 11,000-square-foot showroom Monday, Feb. 27, at 7436 Highway 47 in Union.

The new location is located directly next to its old facility which was 8,000 square feet.

The Washington and Union locations have been consolidated into one store, according to John Moss, owner. The Washington showroom closed mid-February.

Weve been talking about expanding (with the addition of furniture) for several years, said Moss told The Missourian. We just got the opportunity.

Perhaps the biggest change is the addition of furniture.

Flooring and furniture just go hand in hand, said Moss, adding that he will have brands such as Simmons, Serta, La-Z-Boy, Ashley and others. Additionally, he will carry complete bedroom outfits, kitchenettes, mattresses and box springs.

Were looking forward to the furniture aspect of the business really enhancing the floor business, he said, noting furniture can be delivered.

Moss will continue to offer many flooring options including carpeting, ceramic, porcelain, laminate and wood with brands like Shaw, Mohawk, Columbia, Armstrong Mannington, Somerset among others.

Additionally, the store offers a lifetime warranty on flooring installation and has financing options for both flooring and furniture.

Coswick Hardwood is pleased to announce that its hardwood flooring collections are now available under extra-durable commercial aluminum oxide finish. Lacquer CosNanoTech++ is an innovative hardwood finish distinguished by high wear resistance. Coswick commercial finish is intended for use in public interiors, such as hotels, restaurants, offices, clubs, show-rooms or boutiques.

Mississauga, ON (PRWEB) February 27, 2012

Coswick Hardwood is pleased to announce that its hardwood flooring collections are now available under extra-durable commercial aluminum oxide finish. Lacquer CosNanoTech++ is an innovative hardwood finish distinguished by high wear resistance. Coswick commercial finish is intended for use in public interiors, such as hotels, restaurants, offices, clubs, show-rooms or boutiques.

Commercial lacquer CosNanoTech++ is a factory applied finish, created using UV-cured polymers with specially configured corundum particles. Due to its strength, corundum is otherwise known as an artificial diamond. Top layer of lacquer CosNanoTech++ finish uses innovative new generation technologies: polymers with cross-linked nanoparticles increase finish elasticity and wear resistance. This technology allows to extend the life of lacquer finish even under the heaviest traffic conditions.

“Aside from being very durable, Coswick commercial lacquer finish has a soft matte sheen. The obvious benefit of a matte floor surface is that it disguises dust, small dents and scratches, as well as conceals footprints and other signs of wear,” stated Pavel Shishkovich, head engineer at Coswick Hardwood.

“In addition, CosNanoTech++ commercial finish is free from harmful VOC emissions,” said Mr. Shishkovich.

Commercial lacquer CosNanoTech++ finish is completely transparent, which means that the grain texture, depth and beauty of a natural wood surface are not obstructed. Aside from regular care, commercial lacquer finish does not require any special maintenance or renewal.
