“Less is more” will be the redesign theme of this gas fireplace surround. We are on a tight budget and timeline. We will remove the top cabinet, preserve the fireplace and the marble surround. Today is deconstruction. Tomorrow is trim. #fireplacemakeover #90sfireplacesurround #builtintvcabinet #fireplacesurround #fireplacedesign #demoday #fireplaceremodel #sterlingva

This video captures the process behind the installation of our Elements Stain Series tongue and groove ceiling. On one side, ESS in the Cayman Brac color is fully installed. On the other side, you can see the installation in progress, where PVC strips are secured with tapcons into the concrete decking. For areas with electrical and plumbing, framing is covered with Advantech plywood before the tongue and groove is glued and nailed, ensuring a seamless blend across the ceiling. One of the most distinctive aspects of the Elements Stain Series is that no two boards are identical. Each piece is hand-finished, creating subtle variations within a unified color palette. This process results in an authentic, natural wood appearance with the durability of synthetic materials. #tongueandgroove #carpentry #customhomes #homeconstruction #architecturaldesign #buildingmaterials #millwork #exteriordesign #exteriors #architects_need #buildingmaterials

💡 Exploring Retaining Wall Wonders! 💪🏼🏞️ From sleek modern designs to rugged fortifications, retaining walls come in various types, each tailored to specific needs and landscapes. Let's dive into the diverse world of retaining walls: 1️⃣ Gravity Retaining Walls: Solid and dependable, these walls use their own weight to hold back soil and rock, perfect for creating sturdy boundaries in your outdoor oasis. 2️⃣ Cantilever Retaining Walls: Sleek and sophisticated, these walls leverage reinforced concrete for a stylish solution to managing elevation changes with finesse. 3️⃣ Sheet Pile Retaining Walls: For waterfront wonders and temporary solutions, steel, vinyl, or wood planks stand tall, bracing against the waves and soil with resilience. 4️⃣ Counterfort Retaining Walls: Striking a balance between form and function, these walls combine the elegance of cantilever designs with additional vertical supports for towering achievements. #RetainingWallWonders #LandscapingInspiration #EngineeringMarvels

Week 27 included significant strides! #GenesisByAnRae ✅️ 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 - 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬. We plastered and tiled the interior steps, while also focusing on painting and preparing the kitchen cabinet bases for installation. We excavated to widen the driveway and began preparations for the new retaining wall. This involved bending and casting steelwork and footings, erecting blocks, and casting columns and beams. Progress continues as we move closer to our project's completion! Be sure to Like | Follow our page to see all of the updates and #BuildWithAnRae. . .

Tsamouris, the Fasteners Specialists© Those metal stars adorning old brick buildings in cities like Philadelphia, New York, and St. Louis, US, aren't just patriotic decor — they're important structural components called star bolts, designed to prevent collapses. In many older brick row houses, floor and roof joists run parallel to the front and rear facades, leaving these walls connected only at the edges and roof. The problem is that sometimes these end walls can start to bulge outwards, since they're only connected to the rest of the house at their edges. Star bolts and other shaped plates are a common engineering retrofit, running through the brick and connecting facades to the joists behind to stabilize the structure. The star shape effectively distributes tension loads across multiple bricks while looking intentional from any angle. These anchor plates come in various shapes, including diamonds, circles, and squares, with the latter being a cost-effective choice often found in the Bay Area for seismic reinforcement. In Europe, more sophisticated and stylized shapes made of cast or wrought iron are also common. Retrofitting structures with these systems can be costly, but it's often cheaper than rebuilding a brick wall. Read more of our stories at tsamouris.gr/en/news and leave a comment in our post.
