Cleaning

4 years ago

Hi i’m wondering about the rationale of using this on our bathroom floor at our lake camp. Grass, and sand get tracked in fairly regularly. How would this be cleaned and would it hold up. Love the look!

This tile will require thin set adhesive, sanded grout, and sealant.

Sealant typically lasts 2-3 years between applications and will aid in protecting the stones but if in contact with sand and debris may require more frequent reapplication.

The type and brand will be dependent on the finish desired, ie: wet/glossy finish will need a high gloss finishing sealant or a matte/natural finish will require a 511 impregnator sealant.

Hope this helps.

Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference.

Even if a bathroom is art deco it can still be clean. There are some amazing designs that comprise your minimalist aspirations whilst still reflecting art deco themes. The difference is that one is more "flexible"" than the other... It boils down to how daring you want to be... (and tiles are expensive to buy and replace)

Hi Luke. My Dad would ve rolling in his grave at the thought, lol. We are big leaf tea drinkers inmour family and the rule always was (and is): only rinse out with water. The tanins which stain as re your pot's seasoning and should never be removed. Not sure how OH&S friendly that is, but I can never clean inside the pot for that reason. Having a cuppa as I type...

I couldn't agree more! Coming home to a clean house puts a smile on my face. Cleaning a little bit everyday takes less effort than one big sweep. Eg; cleaning mixing bowls and utensils as you brown the onions can save yourself a huge clean up at the end. You also get to enjoy your meal a lot sooner too :)
