Feature Article: The History of Cleveland
As a Paint and Varnish Hub
|
This week’s feature article explores the rich history of Cleveland as a longtime paint and varnish hub. The strong industrial base that the city boasts today can be traced back well into the early part of the 20th Century.
To a large degree, the growth of Cleveland and much of what exists here today can be attributed to its industrial base. The United States was an early leader and Cleveland a major center of industrialization. Strategically located, Cleveland developed because it offered one business benefit few other commerce centers at the time could – access to different transportation networks.

When Remodeling Wood Flooring, Use Waterlox Original Interior Tung Oil Finishes
|
As you look at your “honey-do” list of home improvement projects to tackle this winter, enhancing your home with wood floors should be at the top of the list. The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) states that in a national survey of real estate agents, 90 percent said that houses with wood flooring sell faster and for higher prices than houses without wood floors.
In addition, no products protect wood flooring better than Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes. To learn more about how best to apply Waterlox finishes for your wood flooring application, click HERE.

Q&A: Do I Need to Finish All Sides
of My Countertop?
|
In a perfect world, all six sides of a countertop could be coated to slow down moisture intrusion. No matter what process is used to finish wood, checking and warping can never be completely stopped or prevented because wood needs to be able to expand and contract. Further it is impossible to completely encapsulate a piece of wood.
