Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 01, 2015

Florock Polymer Flooring, manufactured by Crawford Laboratories, Inc. of Chicago, presents the most recent cutting-edge products to emerge from its Research and Development Department New Floropoxy 4900 Epoxy with reduced viscosity for ease of horizontal installation and Floropoxy 4900V Thixotropic Epoxy for both horizontal and vertical applications. Providing outstanding non-yellowing characteristics and colorfastness, the innovative polymer coatings impart concrete floors as well as poured and precast concrete walls, CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit) and cement board walls with industry-leading chemical resistant protection, while simultaneously improving installation convenience, thus potentially lowering needed jobsite man hours and cost.

The updated version of Floropoxy 4900, now with markedly lower viscosity than the original polymer coating formulation, offers improved handling ease, while maintaining its versatility for use as a hard, durable, colorfast mid coat and topcoat in a variety of Florock Flooring Systems. New Floropoxy 4900V is the thixotropic version of this product, providing the high viscosity needed when a stippled or orange-peel finish is desired on either horizontal or approved vertical surfaces.

Floropoxy 4900 and Floropoxy 4900V are both two-component epoxy coatings with 2:1 mix ratios that may be easily tinted with Florock 100% Solids Colorants at the jobsite. While each product has a unique Part A Component, they share the same Part B Component, enabling users to stock fewer SKUs. Solvent-free with zero VOC, Floropoxy 4900 and 4900V, available in 3 gallon cases or 15 gallon pail sets, meet USDA, FDA, OSHA and EPA requirements and qualify for U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED points.

The line includes hundreds of heavy-duty decorative systems that utilize Florocks broad spectrum of urethane mortar, polyaspartic, thin film urethane, methyl methacrylate (MMA Acrylic) and of course, epoxy-based resin technologies.

Some contractors only give firm quotes, leaving homeowners and businesses owners with no real choice. Royal Wood Floors, however, explores all options and makes these known to its customers to empower them.

Though hardwood is one of the most sturdy flooring types, it does sustain damage over its long life. Changes in humidity, temperature, and regular wear and tear from foot traffic all take their toll. As hardwood ages under these conditions, it can become scratched, worn, and even warp. Many contractors convince homeowners and businesses to replace the entire floor, which is the most expensive option. Because hardwood is so resilient, it can be given new life with just the right care. A carefully crafted refinishing can easily transform a dull floor into one that appears to be new.

When replacement is the only option due to excessive wear and tear, Royal Wood Floors does its best to educate its customers on their many choices. There are instances when only partial replacement is necessary and this allows homeowners and businesses to save money.

Hardwood Floor Contractor Announces New 2015 Pricing for Homeowners and Businesses in the Milwaukee Area

Kevin Hampson Mayerthorpe Freelancer

Councillors have decided to spend $23,000 of town funds to install an anti-slip coating on the flooring of the Mayerthorpe Aquatic Centredespite assurances from Alberta Health Services that floor matting would have been acceptable.

Town administration last week recommended that councillors approve the installation of a product called Silikal on top of 1,200 square feet of the facilitys flooring.

The money will come out of the towns $107,000 recreation reserve. Councillors approved the recommendation, pending the successful application of the product on a test area in the family change room.

We are a public facility and there are certain standards that have to be followed, Mayor Kate Patrick said, referring to safety concerns about the slippery floors and hygiene issues related to the use of matting.

Since the pool opened in the summer of 2013, there have been two slips and falls in the facility and, according to administration, a perception has arisen that the flooring is unusually slippery.

The first fall occurred within 30 minutes of the pools grand opening; a patron fell in the shower room and required medical attention. An inspection from the towns insurance adjuster found no fault on the part of the town. Another patron fell last summer, despite anti-slip strips on the floors and extra caution signs that had been put in place after the initial fall.

Administration recommended the costly anti-slip coating in January, but Coun. Glen Wilcox suggested it may have been more high-tech than was necessary. The councillors directed administration to look into the matting commonly used in pool facilities.

That option would cost taxpayers roughly $7,000, though the matting would eventually have to be replaced.

Administration consulted other facilities that use matting, as well as Alberta Health Services (AHS).

Things are looking brighter for flooring special Lumber Liquidators ever since it found out it was under investigation. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.

Normally, an announcement that Lumber Liquidators was under investigation by the Consumer Products Safety Commission wouldn't propel its stock 10% higher. However, that news was really the best thing that could have happened to the flooring specialist in the wake of the devastating 60 Minutes report on the health risks posed by its wood flooring.

This new investigation could potentially allow Lumber Liquidators to restore its reputation , which was shredded by the CBS news magazine.

Floored by the accusations Although it took Lumber Liquidators a bit of time to respond to the allegations made against it, when it did make a statement the flooring specialist came out swinging . Not onlydid it stand by the quality of its products, stating that they complied with all relevant regulations, but the company tore into the tests that were conducted to prove otherwise.

According to Lumber Liquidators, because formaldehyde is a naturally occurring chemical, it's going to be found in the home and in many household products, including its own laminate flooring. But the chemical breaks down over time and doesn't accumulate in the environment or the body so it is of little risk.

Lumber Liquidators will be carrying a heavy load of suspicion until its the CPSC renders its verdict. Photo: Mike Mozart via Flickr.

When first installed, its flooring can add about five parts per billion, or ppb, to the average household indoor air quality, which in urban areas ranges up to 20 ppb. The EPA, however, sets an acceptable air quality range anywhere from 20 ppb-100 ppb, suggesting the laminate flooring isn't a hazard even when at its most potent, immediately after installation.

And because it breaks down over time, after just one year in use the formaldehyde emissions are cut by more than half, down to just two ppb. After 10 years, it's less than one ppb.

Terracotta tile takes special installation Metro News Service The Times Leader

Homeowners looking for a rustic or weathered look for their flooring often rely on terracotta tile, a durable and versatile material that many feel gives a home a warm and earthy feel.

Terracotta tile comes in various finishes and has proven resistant to the growth of mold and bacteria. However, because it is very porous, terracotta tile absorbs moisture quickly, which means it must be sealed somewhat regularly to prevent cracking, discoloration and staining.
