Can cork go on my wall?

Cork as wall covering.

Home theaters are increasing in popularity, as more of us look for ways to increase family time and reconnect.

Consider cork flooring as wall covering when designing your home theater.  Cork is sound absorbent, has insulating properties, and has a natural, cocoon-like quality.  Cork is a renewable resource, while also a very current selection.

Cork offers a cushioned surface and is an environmentally friendly building product.  Cork is contemporary, and easily coordinates with other furnishings in your home, as well as almost any paint color imaginable.

Stop in to Duralum and see for yourself the beauty and long-lasting qualities of cork.

How important is my backsplash?

Backsplash.

Simply changing your backsplash can upgrade your entire kitchen’s look.

When there is very little contrast between a backsplash, countertop and wall color, ho-hum boring is the unfortunate result.

Change boring to beautiful:

*Use decorative tile inserts within a ceramic or granite tile design.

*Mix in a narrow mosaic glass border to give a high-end look.

*Choose a contrasting finish from your floor/cabinets to really stand out.

We can design a backsplash above your range to function as a true art piece in your kitchen.

Let Duralum create the “jewelry” of your kitchen’s design.Beautiful backsplash.

What is your home’s entry saying about you?

Ceramic tile foyer.

First impressions are crucial.  Muddy boots, jackets lying about, warped and stained floors—these do not send a “welcome to our home” message.

Dedicate a space to coat and shoe storage; set a bench or chair inside the door to allow for easy boot removal, and hang artwork or display greenery.  Your entry is the first peek at what’s in store for you and your guests.

Hang a mirror to aid in those last-minute-checks before you’re out the door, and include a shelf or small table below, complete with a small basket or tray to catch keys and mail.

Consider an entry flooring upgrade to really set the stage.

Our preference:  ceramic or porcelain tile, as it is impervious to sand, salt, and moisture, and comes in textured finishes that are slip-resistant and hide stains. There are many decorative yet durable ways to cover your entry’s floors.

Let Duralum help you say: “Welcome home.”

Why are carpet remnants such a great value?

We have bought and sold carpet remnants since 1962 and they continue to grow in popularity.  Why?

  • The sizes range from  12 x 3 to 12 x 30 so you can do a variety of areas such as bedrooms, hallways, stairways and even small living rooms.
  • I bring in a heavier weight of carpeting. (40 ounces and above.)
  • All of our carpet remnants are unrolled, measured and inspected by us to ensure it’s quality.
  • Carpet remnants can be up to 60% off which makes it one of the best values in flooring.
  • All carpet remnants are 1st quality goods.
  • All remnants are either from my own stock or from one of the quality mills that I deal with on a daily basis.
  • The selection is very large; somewhere between 125 and 200 remnants.

Now is a great time to replace that bedroom or living room with a high quality, great value remnant.
