24/7talk Interior Design, a blogging page about Interior Design

Got my first Flash Slide show for Aubusson Carpets ready. I still have to refine some of the details, but got it implemented in a regular XHTML Page and what’s important it does also validate as Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!. Normally I’m not a big Fan of any Flash Application for various reasons, more of personal preference.But it some how fitted quite well for my presentation purposes. It just is easier for me to manage which pictures I can show. Also one can adjust the picture size and time of duration how long a picture will be shown and some other nice things. Left out on this presentation are the older web browsers which don’t get much to see. Nevertheless the rest of the Website can be viewed with any older web browser in any way.

Bamboo Flooring an Environmentally friendly Natural Product is now available in a Hand Scraped Finish. Bamboo Flooring has come a long way since its introduction in the USA.
Gone are the days when it was only available in a natural blond finish and of questionable quality.
Throughout the years the Production and Finishing of the Product has been more and more refined. Bamboo Flooring starts now to play also a larger Role in today’s American Floor Covering Market, as more and more Customers become more Environmental friendly. China which is relatively poor in Wood Resources has adapted already early in using Bamboo Flooring, as it is a Country rich in Bamboo resources. Further, Chinas utilization of bamboo covers thousands of years. 

Vinyl Flooring has come a long way, we are seeing now a new Range of Products with new exciting Colors and Design.
In the past Vinyl Flooring has been mostly used in Commercial Environments due to its durability, but the Colors were quite always on the dull site.
Karndean Flooring has been on the forefront of new Designs and Colors. The latest Product called “The Hand-Crafted Wood Collection” is a Premium Collection, which replicates the rustic Allure of Traditional Hand-Crafted Woods and is the first of its kind to be reproduced in customized Vinyl by Karndean.
Another nice feature is the down loadable Software which helps the Customer to visualize the proposed Floor in a Room Layout and one can change several items like Borders and Layout of the Vinyl Tiles or Boards. Final Touch Interiors has the complete Flooring Selection from Karndean International in the Showroom on Display.

One of the nicest add ons, but not very often used in Flooring Covering Business is the use of Carpet Stair Rods on Stairs.
I feel that it’s just like Icing on the Cake, or like using Trims and Tassels to enhance the look of Window Treatments.
There is not much out there in quality of Carpet Stair Rods, or when available one can have only a couple of Finishes. I have quite searched for a long time and found a small Firm, which is producing for quite some time a high quality product of Carpet Stair Rods and Finial’s with an exceptional quality of workmanship.

There is a variety of Collection’s to choose from, each one has it’s own characteristics. The range of the Carpet Stair Rods covers a wide variety from the traditional to the Contemporary Style. Design wise, one can order from the simple Custom Collection or the Museum quality Renaissance Collection which has hand-chaised Finials and Rods.

The same goes for the Budget, Stair Rods like the New England Collection a very simple but nice and appealing Stair Rod Collection will fit even the lowest budget. On the other end one finds the contemporary Modena Collection which has it’s niche in the most modern and contemporary Home.

Another plus is the choice of over 25 custom finishes. It gives even the most sophisticated Designer a lot of Choices to put together a very individual Design in Carpet Stair Rods.

More in detail of any of the above mentioned Collection’s can be found at our home page under Floor Coverings - Carpet Stair Rod’s
