<p><a title="Commercial hardwood flooring finish" href="http://www.coswick.com/flooring_guide/finishes/cosnanotech-lacquers">Commercial lacquer CosNanoTech++</a>

specially configured corundum particles. Due to its strength, corundum 
is otherwise known as an artificial diamond. Top layer of lacquer

polymers with cross-linked nanoparticles increase finish elasticity and 
wear resistance. This technology allows to extend the life of lacquer 
finish even under the heaviest traffic conditions.

has a soft matte sheen. The obvious benefit of a matte floor surface is 
that it disguises dust, small dents and scratches, as well as conceals 
footprints and other signs of wear,” stated Pavel Shishkovich, head 
engineer at Coswick Hardwood.</p>
<p>“In addition, CosNanoTech++ commercial finish is free from harmful VOC emissions,” said Mr. Shishkovich.</p>

    <title>Demand For Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring to Increase in 2012 </title>
    <link>http://livemodern.com/Members/ollyanka/demand-for-wide-plank-hardwood-flooring-to-increase-in-2012</link>

    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p>Consumer demand for wide plank hardwood flooring will increase in 2012,  with growing number of homeowners and interior design professionals  favouring the look of wide, natural wood flooring over narrow strips of  traditional parquet, believe designers at Coswick Hardwood Inc.</p>
<p>The trend for <a href="http://www.coswick.com/hardwood_flooring/wide-plank-arts-crafts" title="Wide wood flooring">wide-plank wood flooring</a> was overwhelmingly obvious at Domotex 2012, world's leading tradeshow  for floor coverings, which took place in Hannover, Germany, earlier this  month. Among the new and innovative flooring products showcased by  nearly 200 manufacturers, various styles of wide plank, natural looking  wood floors were most common.  Wider flooring planks start from 5" and  go up to 7-8" or even wider, depending on species, finish and  construction.</p>
<p>Both concern for the environment and the uncertain state of the  economy influenced the flooring trends for 2012. As a result, interest  in wider planks goes hand in hand with demand for natural, eco-friendly  floors; both are must-have traits for <a href="http://www.coswick.com/hardwood_flooring" title="Wood flooring">wood floors</a> in 2012.</p>
<p>"The growing trend in flooring is for a wide plank, brushed in order  to emphasize the texture of natural wood, and oiled in order to preserve  its warmth. This means that the more the floor looks and feels like  authentic wood, the better," stated Tatyana Zhigar, principal designer  at Coswick Hardwood Inc, regular exhibitor at Domotex. "For many  manufacturers, achieving effect of authenticity is done through lowering  wood flooring grades, offering products that include a very high number  of natural imperfections, swirls and knots - a whole spectrum of  natural wood characteristics that make real hardwood flooring so  unique."</p>
<p>Coswick's new collection of wide plank hardwood flooring, the Arts  &amp; Crafts Collection, was presented at Domotex. The new collection  features 7 designer styles oak flooring with innovative eco-friendly oil  finishes; it is available as <a href="http://www.coswick.com/flooring_guide/technologies/engineered_cosloc5g" title="Locking engineered floors">locking 5G engineered flooring</a>.</p>
<p>Aside from producing hardwood floors that preserve the authentic look  and feel of natural wood, manufacturers increasingly opt in for using  lumber that originates from sustainable forests, formaldehyde-free  glues, as well as finishes that contain no toxic VOC emissions. This  tendency is expected to strengthen through 2012.</p>]]></content:encoded>

    <title>Copper Hood Manufacturer Innovates Again</title>
    <link>http://livemodern.com/newsfolder/copper-hood-manufacturer-innovates-again</link>
    <description>Copperworks launches CopperRangeHoods.net to specialize in beautiful hoods to grace any residential kitchen.</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p>The innovative makers of <a href="http://www.copperrangehoods.net/">copper range hoods</a> are leading the way again. Copperworks, known for hand made, custom range hoods, has recently relaunched one of their websites, CopperRangeHoods.net.</p>
<p>Living on the internet for many years as a single page landing site as a condensed version of their corporate brand site, CopperRangeHoods.net is now a destination site with a full selection of range hood designs, a buying guide, information about textures and patinas, and more.</p>
<p>Joe Cain, Marketing Director of Copperworks, proudly states “The site incorporates much of the theme of our main site, TheCopperworks.com, but focuses on one major product line, copper hoods.”</p>
<p>As with most web redesigns, customer feedback drove many of the changes. “We really wanted to consolidate a lot of the options for our hoods and put as much information on one page,” Cain explains, “we make custom products so there are almost limitless combinations, but we have the most popular offerings right next to each hood model.”</p>
<p><b>Marketing leaders</b></p>
<p>Copperworks paved a new road in the custom range hood industry in 2004 by being the first manufacturer to offer an online shopping cart for custom made hoods. While their competitors offered information and phone numbers for estimates, Copperworks empowered their customers to choose options, and finalize their order in one session.</p>
<p>The shopping cart option is still available on TheCopperworks.com, but the call to action on CopperRangeHoods.Net is an online estimate request.<span> </span>In response to designers and contractors who often research on behalf of their clients, Copperworks offers personalized drawings and written estimates from the information gathered on the website.</p>
<p>With a competitive market, the marketing innovators at Copperworks may have a few other tricks in their toolboxes. They have recently purchased six domain names and have more updates to their websites planned in the near future. “We can’t divulge any other plans at this time, but our marketing efforts will be very strong in 2010,” Cain concludes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thecopperworks.com/">Copperworks</a> operates a marketing office in San Francisco while all of their custom copper hoods, countertops and sinks are made and shipped from their workshop in Petaluma, California.</p>]]></content:encoded>

    <description>Martin Door is expanding its state-of-the-art glass options for the garage door, without any compromise in safety.

</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p>Martin Door is expanding its state-of-the-art glass options for the garage door, without any compromise in safety.</p>
<p>It's literally a case of offering the customer the window design option they want, with an expanded choice of window colors, shades or textures.</p>
<p>"You can order anything in glass you want, period," Robert Scott, director of Engineering for MDM said.</p>
<p>Martin's ability to create a unique door for each customer, just took on unlimited possibilities.</p>
<p><br />Scott says Martin utilizes either acrylic, tempered or laminated glass, all of which offer safety options, limiting the risk of broken glass in the case of an accident or incident. <br />The engineering director said Martin Door Manufacturing does not use glass that breaks into chards.</p>
<p>The laminated glass sourced by Martin comes with two pieces of glass laminated together with piece of plastic between the layers, similar to a car windshield.  This adds a measure of security nearly as strong as if it were solid aluminum.</p>
<p><br />Some other brand doors simply take a commercial style service station door and convert it into a residential door, with little or no regard to homeowner safety. When Martin designed its all glass door, it did so with safety in mind.  Martin residential garage doors come with over 30 key safety and long life upgrades standard.</p>

<p>The company will begin to make the Avignon (ä-ven-yô) Garage Door, which features a swinging door look, done in aluminum.</p>
