			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-129" title="yoga" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/yoga-300x256.jpg" alt="yoga 300x256 Homes That Make You Say Om " width="300" height="256" />According to the Mayo Clinic, stress can be linked to a whole slew of problems including chest pain, high blood pressure, depression, crying spells, and relationship conflict. The Institute of Science, Technology, and Public Policy (ISTPP) tells us that, &#8220;Ninety percent of disease is caused or complicated by stress.&#8221; Obviously, stress is something that shouldn&#8217;t be ignored, especially if it affects us where we should be feeling our best: in out Colorado Springs homes.</p>
<p><strong>Enhance Your Bedroom to Reduce Stress</strong><br />
Getting a good night&#8217;s sleep is one of the most important parts of reducing stress in our everyday lives. Factors like light, noise, and temperature can easily have a profound effect on how we sleep. If you have problems with too much noise when you sleep, consider <strong>installing some sound dampening material</strong> on your walls and ceiling. If too much light leaks into your windows, try replacing your existing window dressing with blackout curtains. Installing a small heater and/or air conditioning unit where you sleep can give you control over how your bedroom feels no matter what the rest of the house is like.</p>
<p><strong>Get Your Exercise at your Home</strong><br />
In some climates, going outdoors is not always the most pleasant experience in the world. The commute to and from the gym combined with the sometimes over-stimulating environment that goes hand in hand with many fitness centers can be a bit much for many people. Since exercise is a proven stress-reducer, creating a space in your Colorado Springs home to get a workout (which can be used all year round no matter what the weather looks like) might be just what the doctor ordered.</p>
<p><strong>Boost the Relaxation Potential of Your Bathroom</strong><br />
Few things are as relaxing as a warm dip in the tub. Instead of racing through your morning shower, take the time to have a good bath every once in a while. To make the experience even better, consider installing a dimmer switch to reduce the harshness of bathroom lighting. (If you are already a bath connoisseur, you can boost your tub scrubs with home spa equipment)</p>
<p><strong>Stress Reduction in the Kitchen? </strong><br />
Though a few storage enhancements as part of a <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_kitchen_remodeling.html"><strong>kitchen remodel</strong></a> done with the help of your <a href="kitchen remodel, interior remodeling, home spa, relaxation, home theater"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractor</strong></a> might make preparing a meal less stressful, experts say that the real stress reducer in the kitchen comes by altering what you eat. Getting three square meals a day is important, and making sure those meals are healthy and nourishing is a key factor in not just stress reduction, but in maintaining a healthy body overall.</p>
<p><strong>Reducing Stress in Living Rooms and Dens</strong><br />
Too much TV is obviously a bad thing in many respects, but taking the time to sit back and watch a comedy can actually reduce stress. Even better, you can use that incredible sound system to listen to relaxing music or turn it off altogether and curl up on the couch or your favorite chair with a good book (both of which are excellent stress reducers).</p>
<p><strong>Home Office Stress Reduction</strong><br />
While it is easy to see the benefits of working from home, having everything you&#8217;re responsible for in the place that&#8217;s supposed to be your own personal refuge can get stressful really quickly! Those who work at home should make sure to separate their work from their leisure in time as well as space. Home offices that are in some way separated from other areas of the home (preferably with a door that closes and a scheduled amount of &#8220;regular business hours&#8221;) can help make the transition from work-mode to home-mode more defined, and can allow you to fully enjoy yourself during your time off.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Home office? Workshop? Gym? You name it - your garage can be it. <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/remodeling/colorado-springs-garage-world-possibilities/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-124" title="garage remodel - office" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/garage-remodel-office-300x200.jpg" alt="garage remodel office 300x200 Your Colorado Springs Garage: A World of Possibilities" width="300" height="200" />For many Colorado Springs homeowners, spring cleaning brings the <strong>garage</strong> to mind. And, since you can&#8217;t hire a maid service for this, a garage often proves to be a daunting task. Whether you need to organize your garage, <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_room_additions.html"><strong>remodel your garage</strong></a> for another use, or even need to build a garage, there is a solution for you. And, once your garage is in shape you can make it livable by fitting it with the same comforts of home: heating and air conditioning, phone wiring, even plumbing. Your <strong><a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/">Colorado Springs remodeling </a>contractor</strong> can help you figure out which amenities you want to include in your new living space and determine how to best go about installing them.</p>
<p><strong>1. Garage Additions</strong><br />
Whether you use this to shelter your car, for storage space, or want to finish it to make it livable space—or all three—a garage addition is great way to add square footage to your Colorado Springs home. Even if you already have a garage, adding a second story can be the perfect answer to carving out additional living space.</p>
<p>Many people find that a garage offers the perfect environment to house their home office, studio space, or workshop. Most garages can be easily fitted with the same comforts as a home: heating and cooling, phone wiring, even plumbing.</p>
<p><strong>2. Garage Remodeling</strong><br />
Many people find that a <strong>garage remodel</strong> offers the perfect environment to house their home office, studio space, or workshop.</p>
<p>Transforming your garage doesn&#8217;t mean you have to sacrifice your storage area. Many garages today have become multifunctional, allowing for cars, general storage, and a home office or workshop all in the same space.</p>
<p>And, if you find you will be losing too much storage space in your garage, consider building a small storage shed in your yard to house tools, sporting equipment and seasonal items. A building separate from your Colorado Springs home will expand your storage space, allowing you to use the garage in ways that you could not use a shed: electricity or heating, for example.</p>
<p>In addition to <strong>remodeling your current garage space</strong>, you could also consider an addition above the garage. Raising the roof and adding a room for work space above your existing garage can give you additional space, not to mention increase the value of your Colorado Springs home, without changing the floor plan.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Garage addition or remodeling ideas:</strong></p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Guest apartment</li>
<li>Home office</li>
<li>Laundry room</li>
<li>Mud room</li>
<li>Music studio</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Garage Storage and Organization</strong><br />
Organizing or even contemplating organizing the garage can be a tiresome task for many Colorado Springs homeowners. Remember that organizing your garage is about finding a designated place for everything while still keeping your tools and sporting goods easily accessible for everyday use.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Sort and categorize all items in your garage </strong><br />
First things first, empty that garage. Start by sorting everything into categories. Separate all lawn maintenance tools, sporting equipment, electric tools, etc. Once you realize how much stuff you actually have, you can determine the best ways to organize and store everything.</p>
<p>Also, if there are miscellaneous items that ended up in the garage by mistake, return them to their proper place.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Separate and store seasonal items </strong><br />
Get a handyman to install a rack to hang lawn maintenance tools, snow tools, and sports equipment that you may use regularly in an accessible yet out of the way place. Anything that is used seasonally should be stored and then swapped out when needed.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Add additional garage storage shelving or cabinets </strong><br />
If you haven&#8217;t already done so, now is the perfect time to add additional garage storage space to help you maintain your organization in the months to come. You could have shelves or cabinets mounted on the wall or, for a more inexpensive option, consider purchasing durable plastic totes and drawers.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: Create an efficient work area </strong><br />
If you use your garage as a work area, be sure to make the best use of this space. Install a work bench or table. A pegboard and a sturdy tool chest are a great way to store your tools, yet keep them easily accessible.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5: Relocate trash and recycling bins to nearby the garage entrance </strong><br />
Section off an area near the entrance of your Colorado Springs home for trash or recycling to make it easier to dispose of these items.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-120" title="magic wand" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/magic-wand-212x300.png" alt="magic wand 212x300 Presto Chango! Watch Your Spare Bedroom Transform Into a Den/Office" width="212" height="300" />Not every Colorado Springs <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling_contractor.html"><strong>home improvement project</strong></a> involves a massive renovation or must become an expensive undertaking. That’s a relief for cash strapped homeowners who may want to selectively choose these projects carefully.</p>
<p>One of the more affordable projects is making a den. After all, if you have a spare bedroom, then that room can be repurposed to become a den, right? Well, yes. However, if you want to make this room special, you’ll need to take under consideration several things before you move your desk, chair and computer into your newly minted den.</p>
<p><strong>Survey the room</strong> — Does you den have enough natural light. If not, is there enough light overhead to brighten the room when you turn on the switch? Take a look at the number of outlets in this room — you’ll want to plug in lamps, computer equipment and have a phone line available. If your electrical and broadcast lines are not sufficient, you’ll need to hire an electrician to run some lines for you.</p>
<p><strong>Temperature control</strong> — Your den will be the place where you spend plenty of time especially if you also use it as your <strong>home office</strong>. Sure, make room for the couch and flat screen television and add other accouterments for your man cave. You’ll also want a room that is sufficiently comfortable year ‘round. That may mean having an electrician making a separate heating and cooling zone just for your den or area of your Colorado Springs home. Your proposed den may seem comfortable today, but with computer equipment and furniture included, it can heat up fast.</p>
<p><strong>Walls and flooring</strong> — A first floor den located adjacent to a noisy room of your Colorado Springs home may be hard to handle. What you can do is install sound deadening panels on your walls to absorb some of the noise. You can also choose your furniture wisely and set it up strategically — place that bulky home center against the wall facing your garage, kitchen or living room. Thick carpeting or an area rug can come in handy if your den is on the second floor and you don’t want your frequent movements disturb people below you. Invest in an office floor protector to help preserve your carpet.</p>
<p><strong>Office Furniture</strong> — Besides the couch, big TV and mini fridge, your den may include library shelving, desk, chair and computer equipment. If room is tight, find furniture that can occupy one area of your room, preferably with shelving space that can run up and down one corner with desk space on either side of it. Cabinet space can fit underneath your table and lighting can be derived from smartly placed lamps, a table lamp or both.</p>
<p>You may find that investing in custom shelving is one way to create your den, hiring a <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractor</strong></a> to create the needed space and to handle other tasks including installing a sound proof door. Make good use of your remodeler while he is still on site and your electrician too to ensure that your <strong>den office</strong> is everything that you want it to be.</p>

Downstairs. Renovate Whichever Stairs. " width="300" height="189" />Live in any Colorado Springs home long enough and you’ll be undertaking repairs, perhaps a <strong>major renovation</strong>. One area of the home that is easy to overlook is its <strong>stairs</strong>, particularly those that lead from the first floor to the second floor.</p>
<p>If your Colorado Springs home’s stairs are in terrible shape, only an entirely new staircase may help. That project is expensive, one where you’ll probably have to call in a team of professional <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractors</strong></a> to handle.</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling_contractor.html"><strong>renovate your stairs</strong> </a>on your own, a project that may be as simple as bringing out a hammer, some nails and a sheet of sand paper to start. Follow these steps to make your staircase a showcase:</p>
<p><strong>1. Inspect each step.</strong> Bring along your hammer and walk up each step, hammering in any nail that isn’t flush with the stairs. Replace broken or bent nails with nails of the same size as needed.</p>
<p><strong>2. Fix cracks.</strong> You may be able to save the stair’s tread by using a filler to fix cracks. Ask the Builder’s Tim Carter recommends that Colorado Springs homeowners first insert “expanding urethane glue or a heavy-bodied epoxy” in the crack and top it with wood filler. Use stain or epoxy to make the crack disappear. You’ll need to sand the tread first and then follow the other steps.</p>
<p><strong>3. Tighten treads and risers.</strong> Stairs are made up of three main parts: stringers, which hold the stairs in place; treads that you walk on and risers that are perpendicular to the treads and support each tread. Tom Silva of This Old House magazine, notes that glue and or nails often holds these pieces together. Plan to scrape off the old glue before applying a new coat of glue. If you have access to underneath the stairs, you can tighten the stairs that way too.</p>
<p><strong>4. Baluster and railing</strong> — The wood spindles holding up the railing are called balusters. These may need tightening, especially if screws are already present. Or, you can add new screws to secure each one. The post at the bottom of the stair is a newel post and that can be best secured by refastening it to the stair stringer. Install screws to connect and use gorilla glue to hold in place.</p>
<p>When sanding, you’ll want to carefully remove debris, something you can accomplish with a damp towel or a vacuum. Stairs should be completely dry before applying your first coat of stain. Follow the directions on your can of stain to know when to apply your second coat. Once your done, your stairs should look like new and perhaps you have saved yourself from an expensive and unnecessary renovation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-110" title="Elegant interior with lamp" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/steam-shower-2-300x219.jpg" alt="steam shower 2 300x219 Steamy. Dreamy." width="300" height="219" />A few decades ago, it you wanted to soak in a hot tub, take a dip in the pool, or sweat it out in a sauna, you had to either join a gym or stay at a luxury hotel. But with new technological advances and more affordable prices, a lot of this equipment can now be installed in your Colorado Springs home. However, what if you want to have a combination of all these fixtures? What if you want to have a soak, a sweat, and a bath all at once? Then you may want to look into <strong>steam showers</strong> when planning your <strong><a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_bathroom_remodeling.html">bathroom remodel.</a> </strong>A steam shower will provide all three capabilities and more.</p>
<p><strong>Controlled Condensation</strong><br />
<strong>Steam shower</strong>s are a traditional stall with regular heads and fixtures. And though you can take a regular bath within the enclosure, you also have the ability to turn this space into a steamy sauna. A generator heats the water to a boil and then this hot water vapor is pushed out through jets that line the walls and ceiling. The surfaces are constructed of specialized material made to withstand the extreme heat without damage (the surrounding temperature can range anywhere from 90-115 degrees). Plus, the unit is thoroughly sealed so moisture cannot enter your Colorado Springs bathroom to ruin wallpaper, paint, or drywall.</p>
<p><strong>Curative Powers</strong><br />
You may be wondering: Besides the obvious extravagance, why would you want to invest in these contraptions? First off, they&#8217;re very relaxing, which is great after a long day of work. But relaxation also has many health benefits as well.<br />
<strong>Increased Circulation: </strong>Hot air helps thin the blood and enhance the body&#8217;s circulation, which alleviates arthritis, fatigue, and soreness.<br />
<strong>Humidity Therapy: </strong>Moist air raises the metabolism and improves the respiratory system. Plus, it works up a sweat which helps to remove toxins from the body.<br />
<strong>Hydro-Acupuncture: </strong>The jets can work together to provide a body massage in order to relax, rejuvenate, and relieve muscle aches. You can even get a foot massager installed to help rub down those doggies after a long day.<br />
<strong>Aromatherapy: </strong>You can also add essential oils and scents to the water vapor to create a relaxing atmosphere. It helps to reduce stress, calm the body, and lift your mood.</p>
<p><strong>Luxury Accessories</strong><br />
<strong>Steam showers</strong> aren&#8217;t just functional; they&#8217;re also luxurious, decadent, and completely comfortable. It&#8217;s supposed to create the feel of a spa, retreat, or resort. Therefore they come with all kinds of fun features to make the experience more enjoyable and tranquil. The options range from simple to splendid depending on your budget and personality. You could simply install a timer to control the length of a soak. Or put in a bench seat: this straight-forward installation goes a long way in terms of relaxation. But there are also high-end innovations, such as television, telephone, and audio/video jacks (you can even have inputs for your iPod). Something you may want to consider is an emergency button: it&#8217;s not a luxury as much as a necessity. These call for help in case of a fall, or they notify customer service if you need help with something. You can discuss any and all of these features with your <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractor</strong></a> prior to making a decision about the steam shower perfect for your household.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-105" title="reclaimed wood" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/reclaimed-wood-300x225.jpg" alt="reclaimed wood 300x225 Do You Know Where Your Floor Has Been?" width="300" height="225" />Colorado Springs homeowners who have environmental concerns about<strong> installing wood floors</strong> but like the beauty of oak, maple, and pine now have options due to a new industry that is quickly gaining traction. <strong>Reclaimed</strong> and <strong>recovered wood floors</strong> are now available in almost every market in the United States and can provide a second or even third life for timber.</p>
<p><strong>Salvaged wood</strong> can come from a surprising number of sources. While old barns have traditionally been a reliable source for reclaimed wood, this resource is becoming scarce. But, as demand for reclaimed wood has risen, companies have started to find other sources for the material and expanded the definition of reclaimed wood.</p>
<p>Today, industrial buildings slated for demolition, condemned structures, and even bowling alleys provide an increasing amount of reclaimed wood for the home improvement market.</p>
<p>Wood pulled from the bottoms of creeks and rivers is another source for flooring. In the past, logging operations often floated timber down rivers and creeks to be milled. During the process, a certain percentage of the timber would sink to the bottom. Until just recently, salvaging this wood was too expensive, but as the demand for reclaimed and recovered wood has risen, some companies are now plumbing the depths for these sunken treasures.</p>
<p>Recovered timber from forest fires can also be salvaged and milled for <strong>flooring</strong>. Often this wood is stained or marked by the intense heat of the fire, giving it a unique look.</p>
<p>Though sometimes twice the cost of traditionally milled <strong>hardwood floors</strong>, <strong>reclaimed wood floors</strong> combine an aesthetic quality with environmental responsibility. Black walnut, cypress, redwood, cherry, and even the now-extinct American chestnut can be sourced, as can traditional oak, pine, and maple.</p>
<p>The look and feel of reclaimed and recovered wood is often varied and irregular, with natural knots, worm holes, saw marks, and color variations. Newer recovered wood can be scraped and stained (distressed) to create an antiqued look.</p>
<p>Whenever possible, reclaimed wood is milled into wide planks to highlight the age and feel of the wood. Though some reclaimed wood has tongue-and-groove edges, most often, <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling_contractor.html"><strong>flooring installation</strong></a> is slat style. Rough edges and gaps in the flooring between planks is to be expected (if not encouraged) to enhance the authentic appearance.</p>
<p>Colorado Springs consumers wanting to make sure the flooring material they purchase is made from reclaimed or recovered wood can look for several industry certifications. Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) is an independent third-party certification and assessment body that evaluates industry claims.</p>
<p>The SCS has created the “100% SALVAGED WOOD from Recovered Submerged Timber” designation. SmartWood is another third-party certification body that evaluates forest product operations that are reclaiming, recycling, and/or salvaging wood materials.</p>
<p>Your <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractor</strong></a> can also look into various sources of reclaimed wood for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="right" size-medium wp-image-102" title="windows-doors" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/windows-doors-300x163.jpg" alt="windows doors 300x163 Coordinating the Look Of Your Replacement Windows And Doors" width="300" height="163" />Are you looking to replace the windows and doors in your Colorado Springs home or office? You can use this opportunity to add to the look of your space and possibly decrease your energy costs. It is well worth taking some time to look into all of your options before making a final decision on your Colorado Springs <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/#tab7"><strong>window replacement</strong></a> project.</p>
<p><strong>Color:</strong><br />
Both windows and doors have some colors. A door can be made of a variety of materials, some of which can be painted to match a building’s exterior. While the glass in a window has no color, there are different parts that do include color like the frame and the grilles. To create a coordinating look, consider choosing either matching or complementary colors that pair well together.</p>
<p>The color of the windows and the doors are not the only colors that need to be considered. The color of the exterior of your Colorado Springs home or office is important too. Remember that you do not want just part of the space to look nice. You want an overall look that seems well planned out.</p>
<p><strong>Style:</strong><br />
There are a variety of styles to choose from when looking at windows and doors. Some styles are more rustic while others are more traditional. While you need to take into consideration the exterior of the building, you can choose a style that coordinates with the interior as well. A window and a door can be multi-paneled, double opening, French-style, or have a radius-top.</p>
<p>If you have an idea of what you want but can’t figure out how it will look on your building, look at photos of other buildings that have chosen a similar look. It will not be a perfect match but it will at least give you some idea of what to expect.</p>
<p><strong>Customized Products:</strong><br />
Sometimes the regular windows and doors offered to customers will not be enough for your building. In this case, it may become necessary to customize a design that will suit your own needs. A customized design will cost more and in most cases, it will take longer to receive. Be sure that you plan accordingly.</p>
<p>With a customized design, you can choose the colors and the style that you want. If you want a smaller window with a specific shape, you can have it made. If you want a window so large that it reaches ceiling to floor that is used much like a door, you can have it created. These examples often set one building apart from those that surround it.</p>
<p>In any case, consult your <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractor</strong></a> about the various styles available and which would be most suited to your overall design.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-98" title="commercial" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/commercial-300x199.jpg" alt="commercial 300x199 Factors That Play Into Office Remodeling" width="300" height="199" />When you’re remodeling an office in Colorado Springs, there are some key points that need to be kept in mind while exchanging design ideas with your design team. These key features can be merged into one and that is: type of business. All the other main features like, image, traffic, functioning etc. all depend on this one.</p>
<p>The diversity in business types makes it somewhat difficult to jot down some common office remodeling tips. While one remodel tip can do wonders for an office, the same tip may prove to be a disaster if applied in totally different business type. For example, bold and bright colors can increase the creative flow in people, so opting for these colors might be a great idea for a fast paced, creative type of work. On the other hand, if you’re working on something where you need to be focused and attentive, these colors can be distracting.</p>
<p>Now lets discuss some remodeling techniques that can help give your office a new look and feel.</p>
<h2>Paint Colors:</h2>
<p>While neutral colors give soothing effect at a spa, they should not be used in an office. An office should have a vital and “alive” feel. When you walk into the office, you do not want to feel an environment where your enthusiasm transforms into tranquility to the point of snoozing. You need to keep yourself fresh and vigilant.</p>
<p>A great <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_commercial_construction.html">Colorado Springs commercial remodeling</a> technique is to paint your entire office walls with the same color, may be even neutral, and then injecting the main color of your business logo, in shape of art work or furniture pieces like couches or desks, all around your office. You just need to make sure that such contrasts are not hurting to the eyes.</p>
<h2>Office Furniture:</h2>
<p>Your new office furniture should go with the over all remodel theme. It should be functional and comfortable at the same time. The new desks you’ve chosen must be of the right height with wide surfaces to have enough space for work. The person sitting on that desk will spend 8-10 hours on that chair so the distance between the desk and the chair should be enough to provide room for legs.</p>
<p>Wood furniture is preferable as is it’s the most durable but avoid going for huge, large pieces like big, round tables or tall cabinets that reach to the ceiling. Don’t overdo anything. Avoid heavy furniture, as it’ll give your office a dark, cramped look.</p>
<h2>Functioning:</h2>
<p>It is very necessary that an office function according to the working needs of that specific type of business. The space and area for desks, lighting, heating and cooling temperatures, where to put the copier or fax machine, the selection of wall for bulletin board, storage space and many decisions of these kinds are important for the smooth running of the business.</p>
<p>We’ve just shared a few office remodel tips here. There are many other key factors to work on during an office remodel, like image and traffic etc. and all these can be worked on keeping the type of business in mind, like we discussed.</p>

Versatile and unique, this is a <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling_contractor.html"><strong>flooring option</strong></a> you should seriously consider. Discuss the benefits and practicality of cork flooring with your <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractor</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>A Little Cork History</strong></p>
<p><strong>Cork</strong> has been one of mankind&#8217;s most useful materials for 5,000 years. Found in fishing tackle in China, Egypt, Babylon and Persia dating back to circa 3000 BCE, the use of this remarkable material is approximately as old as writing! Over the centuries, it has been found in such artifacts as floats, stoppers for casks, women&#8217;s footwear and roofing materials. The most familiar use for cork, the closing of wine bottles, dates from First Century BCE Greece. Today, cork can be found in almost everything including building materials where it is a viable alternative to hard wood, stone and ceramic floors.</p>
<p><strong>Cork Floors</strong></p>
<p>The 1950s saw the introduction in America of vinyl-coated cork tiles. But today, cork flooring tiles are actually made from the waste of cork wine stopper manufacturers. This makes <strong>cork flooring</strong> a recycled product. Some of the benefits to be derived from <strong>floating cork tiles</strong> include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Excellent sound dampening</li>
<li>Good feel and warmth underfoot</li>
<li>It is natural and non-toxic</li>
</ul>
<p>The only real drawback in spite of the new polyurethane coatings used is that certain footwear, high-heeled shoes, for example, can, and in most cases will, mar the surface. Cork tiles are, therefore, perhaps best enjoyed barefoot.</p>
<p><strong>Floating Tiles</strong></p>
<p>Floating cork tiles are not actually mechanically attached to the floor beneath. Tiles of this sort are engineered with a tongue-and-groove construction that in some designs requires them to be glued together and in others &#8220;clicked&#8221; together, without the need for glue. They are usually installed over a cushioned underlayment or padding. The chief advantages of the floating tile design are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ease of installation</li>
<li>Installation over almost any underfloor surface</li>
<li>Speedy project completion</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Installing Floating Cork Floor Tiles</strong></p>
<p>Installation of these engineered tiles is simple and straightforward. Depending on the sort you bought, you may or may not have to glue them together. One thing you should invest in is the manufacturer&#8217;s installation kit. Within you will find such useful items as a tapping block, wall spacers to ensure a consistent expansion gap at the edges, and a pull-bar, which you&#8217;ll need for hammering the tiles into position next to walls.</p>
<p>If you have to cut your tile, use a circular saw or a jig saw, ensuring proper cuts with a straight edge. Make sure you cut it with the top down to minimize damage to what will be the visible surface. Also, watch out for prelaminated underlayments as well as those with built-in heat. Other things you should remember are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove the baseboards before you start</li>
<li>Remove or drive protruding nails or screws into what will be the sub-floor</li>
<li>Use a leveling compound to eliminate dents and dips in the sub-floor</li>
<li>Place 6ml plastic sheeting over the whole floor that runs three inches longer and wider so it overlaps. Use tape to keep it down.</li>
<li>On top of the plastic sheet, place a closed-cell foam or fibre underlayment and seal the edges with duct tape.</li>
<li>Begin in the center of the room, lay the tiles out in the pattern you have chosen without securing them so you have an idea of what to cut.</li>
<li>Clean up and vacuum the floor and then it is time for the top coat. Work in an even, single pass over the floor. Do not apply it as if you are painting it on. You may use a roller or, for better results, a pull foam applicator.</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s it, except for the hardest part of the installation: Now you wait. Generally, it will be a good four hours before you can walk on it barefoot. In a day you will be able to wear shoes on the tiles, though it will still be several days before you can wear rubber soles on the floor without worrying about the finish. It is at that point you should be able to cover the expansion gap at the edges of the floor by replacing the baseboards or installing quarter rounds or cove molding if, at the beginning, you chose not to remove the baseboards. When you do this, make sure not to nail the trim to the floor since that will lead to buckling. The finish will not be fully hardened for eight to 10 days and it should not be covered with plastic or carpet during this time. Finally, because it is the finished top coat that protects the tiles from moisture damage; do not clean the floor with water for two weeks after installation.</p>
<p><strong>Caring for Your New Cork Floor</strong></p>
<p>Bear in mind that this surface is natural and is certainly more delicate than ceramic tiles, a fact reflected in its maintenance. The most basic thing you can do is to vacuum the floor for dust and loose dirt at least as often as you vacuum your rugs. This will help keep the surface of your <strong>floating cork floor tiles</strong> clean and help protect it from damage. For stains or spills, a damp mop and a mild, ph-balanced dish soap is indicated. Be careful because if your mop is too wet, the water can seep between the tiles and damage them, as can ammonia and abrasive cleaning products.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that tile of almost any sort, properly and artistically laid, will increase the beauty of your floors. However, in using floating cork floor tiles you will also add comfort and warmth that cold stone or hard wood cannot match, not to mention a new level of peace with cork&#8217;s sound dampening qualities. It is a unique and interesting addition to any decor that you should consider as you peruse the floor section of your Colorado Springs home improvement warehouse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-86" title="sink" src="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_remodeling/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/sink-300x192.jpg" alt="sink 300x192 Think Sink" width="300" height="192" />If you want the ultimate in bathroom design, make sure to invest in a cool <strong>bathroom sink</strong>. Plain white porcelain is a thing of the past; today&#8217;s sinks come in a wide variety of wonderful colors.</p>
<p><strong>Materials for Bathroom Sinks</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>bathroom sink</strong> has come a long way from being a plain white china bowl. Today&#8217;s sinks are available in a wide range of materials, all designed to give you the cool look you&#8217;re after.</p>
<p><strong>Metal</strong></p>
<p>Stainless steel, copper and bronze are just three of the metal finishes you can find for a sinks today. Metal sinks come in<strong> undermount</strong>, <strong>drop in</strong>, <strong>vessel</strong> and <strong>free standing</strong> varieties, all designed to give your Colorado Springs bathroom a unique look. If you like the idea of metal, but not the upkeep, consider getting a porcelain sink painted in a metallic finish.</p>
<p><strong>Resin</strong></p>
<p>One of the hottest materials for bathroom sinks today is resin. Molded into an integral sink and countertop, resin sinks come in a wide variety of colors. In fact, companies such as Neo Metro can produce a resin sink in any pantone color. Just supply the number and you&#8217;ll have a sink to rival the one that Brad Pitt bought from this company.</p>
<p><strong>Ceramic</strong></p>
<p>Forget the plain white sink; companies like Marzi elevate the bathroom sink to a new level. Hand painted in any color, pattern or design and available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, pottery sinks can complement any bathroom design.</p>
<p><strong>Stone</strong></p>
<p>Do you have a rustic <strong>bathroom design</strong> filled with slate or tumbled marble? Consider getting a rustic stone sink to match. Varieties include sinks carved out of a single boulder like the natural sinks from Stone Forest.</p>
<p><strong>Particularly Cool Bathroom Sinks</strong></p>
<p>If you want the most cutting edge, unique or interesting bathroom sink available, consider any of the following choices.</p>
<p><strong>Blown Glass</strong></p>
<p>Gravity Glas sinks are made by hand and no two are exactly alike. The shapes are unique, the colors vivid and each sink is a work of art. Consider setting two of them side by side on a double vanity to showcase the subtle variations in each artistically hand blow piece.</p>
<p><strong>To Match Your Tile</strong></p>
<p>For the most cohesive bathroom design available, consider a custom sink from Pratt &amp; Larson to match your tile. Hand painted in the same colors as their decorative tiles and borders, each Pratt &amp; Larson sink is a true work of art.</p>
<p><strong>Leather</strong></p>
<p>Neo Metro&#8217;s leather and stainless steel sinks transform your bathroom into a showplace. Complete the look with a matching toilet and some leather look tiles for the ultimate modern bath.</p>
<p><strong>Free Form</strong></p>
<p>Forget classic round or square shapes, Stone Forest&#8217;s bronze Papillion sink is an irregularly shaped vessel that looks as though it&#8217;s been blown by the wind. Sit this sink on a simple wooden vanity top and let it take center stage.</p>
<p><strong>Showing off a Specialty Sink</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re planning on investing in a unique <strong>bathroom sink</strong>, make sure it takes center stage in your Colorado Springs <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/colorado_bathroom_remodeling.html"><strong>bathroom design</strong></a>. Use good bathroom lighting above the vanity and simple counters to avoid competing with the sink itself. Whenever possible, pick up an element of the sink, such as a color or design detail elsewhere in the bathroom. This will help to unify the look, showing off your sink without completion. Your <a href="http://www.holladaybros.com/"><strong>Colorado Springs remodeling contractor</strong></a> will know how to best integrate a unique sink to create a cohesive look to your bathroom.</p>
<p><strong>Ordering Sinks</strong></p>
<p>Nearly all cool bathroom sinks are made to order. Remember to allow plenty of time for your sink to arrive, up to 10 &#8211; 12 weeks in some cases. While this may seem like a while to wait, your new sink is sure to be worth it.</p>
