WIP WEDNESDAY WHENEVER

I got tagged by @theviridianbunny thank youuu!

ART

The Kurt drawing I started a month ago is almost finished so I won't show that as a WIP again lol. But I settled on what I want to draw next already and I am way to hyped by the idea (Cyberpunk/Witcher crossover)

WRITING

I write quite a lot lately (or try to). Manly oc stuff because I managed to get obsessed with Alyona. Welp.

Her character introduction for my AU is halfway finished, but I am overthinking if it got a little to shippy (I didn't intendet that in the beginning but it just happened and I like it hehe). Maybe I make my shippy stuff into something extra and name it after the ship to keep the actual AU "cleaner" bc it's not that important for the plot. I don't know! I can't organzie my stuff!

Here's a preview of the introduction tho. For context: It's a backflash and around 2073, the business in Dtown starts to bloom and she comes for a visit to see what the Colonel came up with (try not to cringe by posting your writing but cringe anyway):

————————————————————

A woman got out of the helicopter after them. Relatively tall, slim, athletically muscular, her short black hair was tousled by the wind, the sides of her skull were shaved short. She wore simple, military-style clothing. Cargo pants, lace-up heavy boots, a tactical leather jacket. Everything was kept in black and dark olive tones. If you didn't know any better, you'd say she was from here and it would be easy for her to blend in with the masses in Dogtown. One detail that made her stand out, was a multitude of thin scars that ran from the lower left side of her face across her nose and up to her forehead. Judging by the degree of healing, it was a very old wound. At least on the outside.

She walked confidently past her people, holding a bottle of clear liquid with an elaborately designed label in her right hand. Probably high-proof alcohol from her home.

After a few steps, however, she stopped abruptly and pushed the aviator glasses she was wearing down a little to look over the rim in disbelief and with a raised eyebrow.

"You look old, Kurt," she said blatantly, examined the man in front of her from top to bottom and continued to walk slowly towards the him, then took her glasses off completely and put them in the inside pocket of her jacket.

"It hasn't been that long since we last saw each other, has it?"

Her English was remarkably good when compared to other representatives from this part of the world who were usually up for business in Dogtown. However, she was unable to mask the slight accents common to the Russian language.

Kurt ignored her little teasing and tried to be professional.

"I'm glad you're here too." He couldn't help but welcome her with a thin smile." And it should be about half a year. The last time was in Laos during the negotiations."

Both slowly came to a halt in front of each other. Jago had followed the Colonel discreetly and kept to the background.

"That was six months ago already. Seems like I did good on suppressing the memories about that terrible place“, she answered shaking her head in disbelief.

"How was the flight?" he added tersely.

"Ah," she made a dismissive hand gesture. "Alright. I am getting used to traveling.“ She showed him the bottle she brought with her. „Here's your favorite. Don't worry, I've got more in the helicopter."

Without further ado, she pressed it into Hansen's hand.

For all the people standing by who were not yet familiar with Alyona and her way of dealing with Kurt, this whole encounter must have seemed incredibly strange. They all only knew him as the undisputed authority figure and nobody, except at most his old brothers in arms, would dare to talk to him like that. And even there were limits.

Alyona finally looked with interest at the man standing behind the Colonel.

„And who is the cute little cat? I don't think we've met yet.“

Jago's features froze completely and he didn't think he had heard correctly.

"The cute little... EXCUSE ME?" he replied with audible outrage in his voice.

————————————————————

And I still NEED to write her fucking lore down. I think I got it togehter by now.

VP (new to the list)

Just started to activly making pics on my console and would like to come up with a little series in the future maybe.

Atm I try to make pics for a fun Discord Challenge where I have to show a single day in the live of my V. Since I am still obsessed with a certain disctrict I thought I make it a "Dogtown Days"- Edition. I struggle with the limited set of poses but I'll figure something out.

Yea think that's it for now. I still have so many ideas for a lot of different things but I have to restrain myself and finish some things first before I get lost in my WIP-Limbo.

Wildflowers

Pairing: V | Kim Jihyun/Rika Kim

Description: Desperate to break free from her family, Rika runs from her arranged marriage in the hopes that she can look at that blue sky without fearing she'll lose her innocence forever. However, the unrelenting desert heat leaves her indebted to a stranger who offers her the chance of a lifetime. Will she take it knowing it might be a trap, or will she give up before she dares to try? Prequel to Cereus.

[Read On AO3]

Cowboy Universe in order: [Wildflowers] [Cereus] [Andromeda] [Wren]

Chapter 3 “Ya’ know, when ya’ told me ya’ had a business, I didn’t think ya’ meant a bar, Mr. Kim.”

“Beer is normally cleaner than water, unfortunately,” he explained. He went behind the counter and began to pour her some milk. “But, my father knew men in the right places. We got fresh water n’ milk on tap for the less hardy patrons. I don’t take ya’ for a drinkin’ gal, so let’s get you somethin’ good and cold.”

Rika looked at him incredulously. “Cold?”

Jihyun chuckled. It might’ve been hot as hell, but he had ways of making sure there was a means to find something chilled. She could tell from the glint in his eyes. Seemingly, if anybody could make a miracle happen, it was probably him. She wasn't sure how but she didn't want to doubt him again. Instead, she took the glass from his hands and savored the taste. It was unlike anything she could’ve ever tasted back home.

She’d heard stories of what ice and snow felt like from her parents before but it sounded like a fever dream. It was like a bedtime story somebody would tell to make you feel better. It didn't mean that it was real. It didn't matter how close something was to making it real, if there was no way to know for sure, how could you believe in it?

How could something like that exist when all she had to see for as far as her eyes could reach was dry heat? How could something cold exist when she had no concept of the cold? Sure, the air could feel frigid at night. But, that didn't seem to be the same thing as the cold that she heard about in stories. This cold was something different, something that couldn't be described without having a firsthand experience. She could feel a smile on her face. It felt foreign to have a natural smile, but she had one.

There was no doubt in her mind, as crazy as it was to decide to stay with him for the time being, she didn't think she'd regret it. His offer was firm. If she wanted to leave at any point, he would make sure that she could. But, if she wanted to stay with him, he promised to do everything within his power to ensure that nobody came after her. Even if he didn't know the entire threat that was lingering over her head, he was willing to do whatever it took to make things right.

“Good, right?”

“It’s amazin’, somethin’ else, really,” she uttered.

It wasn't like she had many words to describe her experience, but she was sure that he did understand. At least, if her dazzled eyes were anything to go by. As unbelievable as it was to imagine people in this world had access to things beyond her wildest imagination, it was even more unbelievable to think he would be willing to give it to her for free. This place was special. There was no doubt about that in her mind. It almost made her wonder what more could be done with this place.

Rika finished her glass within a few minutes. As it settled in her stomach, the liquid made her feel like there was a little ice inside of her chest. It wasn't the worst feeling in the world. She kind of liked the aftertaste. She didn't want to get used to something that might not be easy to find, but boy, she had to get someone else to try it. She placed it back into his hand so he could properly wash and dry it, then she went to explore the building.

He told her she could look at anything she wanted when they took his wagon into town. His home wasn't all that far from the town, but it still took longer than it would for her to go from church to home. She didn't know much about the next town over to hers, so it was a surprise to see that it took longer to get around. This was a wasteland of nothing and only God's will, so in hindsight, it did make sense. The trip was worth the wait. Many people were bustling throughout the town early in the morning.

Of course, nobody was expected in his bar yet. Most of the crowd he encountered would saunter in during a break or the evening. If somebody wanted to get a drink early in the morning, they could find a way outside of him.

The saloon itself had an expansive amount of space. What caught her eye at first was a set of stairs that led to a room. There was only one room up there but the door was ornate and seemed to be important.

When she turned back to ask him what that was, he informed her that it was his office. Well, it would make sense for him to keep all of his money out of sight and out of mind. It was better that way if there were all kinds of men visiting. Not that she was assuming the worst of people, but it was better to be on the safe side when there were outlaws on the line.

Men…

Bars were meant for working men, right?

Her family told her that bars were a place of depravity. However, that couldn't have been further from the truth as far as she could tell. Jihyun said that plenty of people stopped by since he took care of any soul that wandered in, man, woman, child, crook, lawman, etc. Sure, there might have been a lot of bars that were filled with sin, but this one was far from it. As long as somebody like him was in charge, she didn't imagine that there could be anything wrong.

He smiled when she continued to wander through the bottom floor of the bar. A part of the deal she had made with him was that during the time that she would stay under his roof, she would pay him back. He didn't want her to do so, but she didn't feel right doing something without paying back in some way, shape, or form.

He mentioned that she could come and work at the bar if she wanted to, but if she didn't want to be in an environment like that, he would ask her to take care of his house while he was away. It seemed like a fair trade to him. She could work with that, considering that's where most of her skills were.

The rest of the building was as she expected. There were countless tables and chairs alongside the bartop counter. People could get their fill of food and alcohol. The kitchen, he mentioned, was in a room right behind the bar. She didn't bother wandering into there just yet, since she expected it to have a lot of tools that would leave her gasping. This man came for money, so he could have modern and up-to-date technology. It was wild enough when she saw that he had a way to wash clothes with a hand crank. She had been doing that by hand for God knows how long.

The chuckle he had when she gawked at him was a memory she couldn't forget.

There was a long hallway right off of the bar that had two rooms. When Rika checked, they appeared to be a mixture of storage and dressing rooms. There were a few odd boxes and some lingering clothes left behind. She wasn't sure why there would be clothing or dressing sheets folded up in the corner. It was a bar, what need was there in letting anyone store clothing items? It perplexed her. It wasn't as odd as having an office.

She turned around and went to find him again, “Hey, Jihyun?”

“Yes?”

“Might I ask why yer’ back rooms are filled? I reckon I understand why ya’d have some stuff back there, like food and excess drinks that can’t just be used yet. But, what’s with the clothes y’all got back there? Was this place somethin’ else ‘fore it became a bar?”

Jihyun set down the glass he’d been holding and offered her his hand. She took it and he led her to the far side of the room where long drapes were covering the walls. He began to pull a cling and it revealed something spectacular. It was a stage. It wasn’t like the pulpit at church. It was huge, with a grand and mighty piano on top. She parted her lips to say something but found she wasn’t sure what to say about it.

A stage?

What was the stage doing in a bar?

“When I was a boy,” he started, lifting himself to sit on the edge of the stage. He slid over so she could join him. “My ma’ would perform at the bar for everyone. She was a master at the fiddle and could play a circle ‘round the devil himself. Ain’t nothing ever compared to her music show, least, that’s often what people tell me. She lost her hearin’ on a count of’a’ a fever when I was a lil’ kid, and ma’ couldn’t perform anymore. Father closed the stage n’ people stopped comin’ to see her perform after that.”

He sighed, “Ain’t nothin’ been on this stage in a decade. I reckon it’s been rottin’ back here since there ain’t been no reason fer’ me to do anythin’ with it, either. But, I can’t bring myself to rip it down… it’d be erasin’ my ma’... and I don’t want that to happen in my life. If you were wonderin’ why there’s stuff hidden like a dirty secret, they belonged to my ma’, long story short. Father didn’t wanna keep any of her stuff where he could see ‘em… so, they’re here ‘stead of bein’ at home.”

Oh.

That would explain everything sitting in the back rooms. Those outfits might have belonged to his mother or other performers that would join her on stage. It was such a shame to think that his mother lost her ability to show the world her gift given to her by God. This bar was lively, but to imagine this place being even more alive, oh, she wished she could’ve seen it. That wistful look in his eyes made it seem like he never had the chance to see it himself. That was so awful.

She didn't know a lot about his childhood. She didn't know a lot about him, honestly. But, the fact that he was willing to share such a vulnerable part of himself made her want to make things right. If she was going to be here with him, she needed to do something to bring a smile to his face. He didn't think twice about making a smile come to hers. Why would she hesitate to do the same for him? There was no reason to do that, but there was all the reason to make things right for his act of kindness.

He was doing so much to help people without receiving anything in return! It was sad to imagine that he would allow himself to not have what he wanted. It was obvious that he wanted to see that show… but, it’d never happen. His mother was no longer alive and even if she was, she couldn't complete the melody she had started. She didn't know what it felt like to have a family that loved her, but she did know what it felt like to be given kindest by another person.

Rika could hear the pain in his voice. She didn't want to step on his toes or talk about something that he would rather leave buried, but that sadness in his eyes made her feel bad. She thought long and hard for a moment as she was soaked in his words and suddenly, a brilliant idea came to mind. She climbed up on that stage and spun around to face him, her smile growing by the minute.

She could see a vision growing in her mind. There was something she could do to pay him back for all the kindness he’d shared. She needed to do this. “Mr. Kim, I have a proposition for you to pay you back for your kindness.”

—

There was nothing to it. Nothing to the sensation of feathers tickling her shoulders. She could do this like she'd done it a hundred times. Then again, it didn't do much to practice running to overthink a small performance. If she was going to do it, she had to act on instinct and impulse alone. That was how her butterflies would settle and she could finally see the other side of her goals.

"It's like the choir," she whispered. "It ain't no different than being next to the pulpit in church. Ya' put on a brave face n' ya' do what ya' know ya' need to do, Miss Rika. There ain't no devils here to judge ya', neither. Ya' just gotta own yer' voice and sing the song just like laundry out by the river when yer' out there alone. The crowd really ain't no different than buzzards n' jackrabbits."

It was just like the first time she sang in church.

There were butterflies in the pit of her stomach. Were they anxious or excited about what was to come? It was hard to say. It was no different than singing in the choir, she reminded herself. The crowd might have been a different set of faces, but she knew it was, all the same, to perform.

People came to places like this to enjoy themselves. She knew how to keep a smile on her face. Yet, her heart couldn’t stop roaring like a band of galloping horses.

It wasn't the first time she felt that way, and it wouldn't be the last. However, she knew that she had a choice in this situation. She could choose to be afraid of these feelings welling up inside of her or she could embrace them. Everything her parents taught her about the world had been a lie, and now she wanted to do something to reclaim her body.

She wasn't just doing this to make a right on the debt she owed Jihyun.

She owed him her life, a debt that could only be repaid by giving a gift back to him, and though he didn't want her life in return for saving it… Even if he didn't see it as a debt, she saw it as one. So, she found the best way to meet him in the middle. She was as stubborn as they come, that's what he said, but she didn't see that as a bad thing anymore. Rika smiled when he said it. She always bowed her head and did what people told her to do. She didn't hesitate to do the right thing. She knew what the right thing to do was.

She wouldn't allow herself to call this a selfish act.

After all, there was nothing selfish about being willing to walk on that stage, at least, that’s what Jihyun said. In doing so, she was going to reveal herself in a vulnerable way that couldn’t be taken back once it started. But, she was doing this of her free will. The dazzling lights of the stage beckoned her from the minute she twirled in the sunlight.

For some reason, this felt like something she was meant to do. She couldn't say why or how, but her heart knew this was where she had to be. She was needed here.

Rika had her hand on her hip, there was a cheer from the crowd and that was her cue that she couldn’t make them wait any longer. People had been told that she was going to put on a show worthy of what this place deserved. It might not have been the same thing they would get years ago, but she was going to do her best to give them something worthwhile.

Her corset was snuggly around her waist, her long flowing skirt bellowed around her hips and left nothing to the imagination as her right leg came out from behind a tactful slit she’d sewed herself.

Around her bare shoulders was a gift that Jihyun gave her that morning. It was an old feather boa made of the whitest feathers she’d ever seen. It once belonged to his mother. She wouldn't wear it when she was performing, but she would wear it as soon as her performance was over to greet and talk to patrons. She was honored to have a token of his family.

She was wearing this because he asked her to, but the weight of it wasn't lost. She wanted to bring this place alive again. So, it felt right to have a piece of his mother there. She was there in spirit. Mrs. Kim would be able to show a piece of her soul to her soul. Rika was sure of it. If he didn't want her to have such an honor, he wouldn't have made the offer in the first place.

She took in a breath. The show was starting and this was the point of no return. There was no way to turn around. She made her promise and she intended to keep it. With her hands clasped against her chest, an unspoken prayer was whispered in the back of her heart.

The curtains pulled open with the help of one of the men that used to work with Jihyun’s mother, and she was on. The lights from the small opening in the roof glimmered down on the stage and kissed her cheek as if she was being spurred by the sun. It brought peace to her heart. She knew she could do this. There was not a drop of fear left inside of her the second she could see her place among the stars.

She looked at the faces in the crowd and smiled back at them as she waved. There was some hollering and cheers from the men, but she didn’t mind the calls this time. She was safe on stage. He promised that as long as she was within his care, she wouldn’t need to be afraid of anything… even if the fears she had weren’t something she’d admitted to him at length yet.

It was that peace of mind that made her feel safe and sound. This moment was what she wanted it to be. She felt increasingly warm, warm in a way that made her understand what stories meant by being curled up by a cozy fire.

And then, she locked eyes with him.

Jihyun was at the counter where she expected him to be but when she saw him, it was like nobody else could bother her. Any distractions that could’ve found her in the crowd were from her mind. She’d been given a world of her own in his mint eyes. That’s when she started to sing, a familiar hymn at the back of her throat as onlookers grew silent and watched her closely to see what she’d do. Then came the piano player behind her, syncing to her song and driving home that this was a breathtaking view of the world.

The stage came alive and so did the saloon.

It was no longer a place made of dust and begotten dreams. A single voice carried the room to another realm made of life. She could feel it. She could feel the energy send shivers down her spine. Something was starting to change inside, and as her voice carried throughout the building, the more confident she felt growing.

It was unlike anything she'd ever experienced. It was euphoric. That was the only word she could use to describe the way she felt at that moment. If it was the same for the audience, she didn't know for sure. All she knew was that something felt like it had wrapped around her shoulders to protect her from any negative feelings that could have arisen. It was like a warm hug from somebody who didn't want to let go.

When she'd been singing in church, it was done out of necessity and order. It wasn't something she wanted to do for the sake of it, it was something she was taught to do because a pretty face like hers couldn't have been wasted without talent. There had to be some reason she was alive. If she didn't have any useful skills, how could they use her as a bargaining chip in marriage?

As long as she had talent, she was worth something. There was a reason for her to exist. But, when she was singing this song, it wasn't something she had to do to prove that she was worthy of being alive. It was quite the contrary. Her voice belonged to her for the first time. It didn't belong to her parents nor did it belong to god. Her song was her own. Nothing in the gospel could've compared to what she felt as the crowd hung on every word she sang.

In every sense of the word, she finally felt like she could own her identity.

She wasn't Serena Kim, promised in marriage to the preacher that'd been defiling her soul in the name of the idolatry of his inflated sense of ego.

She wasn't the Serena her parents had taken from an orphanage out of the incessant desire to have a child… a child who'd never be able to live up to their dream of having a kid who was born of their bread and butter from the very start. She was someone else. She was finally free to be who she wanted to be, and on that stage, she'd seen who she could finally be. She was more than the desires of those who wanted to own her body.

She was Rika Kim.

She was a performer who wanted to enchant the life of those who needed a smile after a hard day of blood and toil. Someone who wanted to make a difference could be somebody as small as a country girl who didn't know any better… that's what Jihyun taught her. A lesson that his mother had likely told him before she passed away. She could take that into her heart. She wasn't a wandering soul who meant nothing. She could mean something.

Rika leaned against the piano and scanned the crowd with a beckoning hand. Though it might have been a gander at the crowd, she could feel drawn with her full attention to the counter where Jihyun had eyes for her like no one else. He smiled. Something in her chest fluttered.

She waved it away despite gentle confusion burning across her hot cheeks. She could think about that feeling more, later. All she wanted to do was live in this moment and never let go. If this was what her life had been building up to, she knew that it was worth it. It didn't matter if she was still struggling to figure out what it meant to be alive, this was what it meant to be alive, she knew.

This was a calling from the Heavens.

"♫ And I saw the sky in yer' eyes.

Your sparklin' blue eyes, n' I swear I felt I could fly.

Wings of an eagle n' songs of the people.

Them skies ain’t far from yer’ eyes.

From their jeers in their lies to the blood in my eyes, they tried to clip my wings fore' I could fly.

But, yer' sparklin' blue eyes found me in them lies n’ my wings took flight n' touched the skies.

'Cause I saw God in your eyes, them sparklin' blue eyes, and I swear I'd never leave dead or alive.

Clip my wings n’ trample me now, them skies ain’t gonna down, ‘cause I know yer’ light will guide from the lies.

Ain't no man alive who can keep me from them skies. ♫”

The cheers from the crowd were electric with her big finish, hooting and hollering was enough to rock the building, and as she caught her breath, she knew that something had forever changed in this dusty saloon.

Can't believe I had to scroll all the way down to find some common sense. If you're moving out and living on your own for the first time, and assuming you at the very least have a stove in your new house/dorm (maybe even an oven)... I for the life of me cannot understand why you would purchase a damned air fryer or rice cooker before you get a microwave to heat up leaftovers (or quickly warm up a liquid that doesn't need to be boiled, like water or milk for instant coffee or something; or quickly cook up pre made food in a possible oven mode it might have; or quickly speed up defrost if it has a defrost mode; microwaves nowadays do a lot of shit for convenience, even if they do so in a mediocre manner. But you just moved out, you're looking for utility, not luxury).

When you move out, unless you have a lot of spare money, live in a place where it's extremely common for households to have a rice cooker (so: cultural factor), or you have an extremely busy life... Just make the rice on the stove. You don't need a bulky machine for it. Just use the stove. You can get a rice cooker later if you really want it. It's not an important first time living alone purchase. Rice takes ten minutes to cook unless you're cooking for a lot of people.

Air fryer? If you have an oven, or even a toaster oven, there's no reason for you to get an air fryer off the bat. Unless you're on a very specific diet that requires the type of thing an air fryer can do (or your house has no oven), I think this is... A very unnecessary and bulky purchase for when you just moved out. No one was talking about air fryers ten years ago. Hell, five years ago. You do not need this if you have an oven. Hell, I don't have an oven yet, and I do just fine without an air fryer.

Panini press grill things are cheap, I'll give you that. But let us be real. I own one of those I brough from home while moving out and 1) Most people don't use them often because they feel lazy to clean it up; and 2) is that really an important first appliance purchase? I guess you can use it as a toaster while having the benefit of it doing more than a toaster, and it is very cheap if you get a smaller sized one, but... Again. Why are we recommending a panini press before a microwave? Or a vacuum cleaner?

Electric kettle is a good and reasonable advice. You can also get one of those cheap iron pots for the stove, or a regular kettle, but electric ones get the job done AND don't waste gas if your stove is gas fueled (electricity is cheaper than gas).

This last reblog before mine voiced my thoughts on the coffee. I'll just add you can be a lazy cheap fuck and drink instant coffee, which is weaker but only requires hot water or milk (hot, not even boiled). This is an advice for those who drink coffee once a week but feel like they need an appliance for it: you don't. There's more important things. Don't buy a coffee appliance right away if you don't actually drink coffee.

Above all else, purchase what you know you will use. Again, if you're used to using a rice cooker, make a shit load of rice to eat, or have zero time to wait by the stove, sure get a rice cooker first. I was making fun of the air fryer, but if you have no oven or genuinely eat a lot of food that can be cooked in it, sure get it first. If you just haaaatee using microwaves sure heat up everything in the stove or oven. Adapt your purchases to your needs.

If you want my advice... Get your basics before you think of expensive or even medium priced appliances. Get your cleaning supplies, your kitchen pots, your towels and kitchen rags, and then think about everything listed here. Don't waste money on any of this before you have a broom and at least one frying pan and one pot for the love of god.

Kitchen appliances I would recommend purchasing when moving out on your own:

Air fryer

One of those panini press grill things (not only can you make sandwiches but you can grill chicken and steak if you have an expensive model)

Rice cooker (not only good for rice but quinoa and any other grain, alternatively you could buy an Instapot)

Electric kettle (depends on how much tea you drink but it’s good for boiling water for cleaning and preheating water for pasta etc)

Kitchen appliances I would not recommend buying when you move out on your own:

Counter top coffee maker (you should not be drinking an entire pot of coffee on your own and it will be stale by the time you get to the bottom, plus these bitches suck to clean, Keurigs, French presses and stove top percolators where you make one or two cups at a time are more practical for a single person)

#I just woke up #didn't even get out of bed #but I was flabbergasted #if you just moved out you literally need zero of these things #if you have a pot I'd say even the kettle is not needed #you can indeed just boil water for tea on a pot #good lord. air fryer???#as a move out purchase???#am I really that poor to view that as ridiculous?

Expert Marble Cleaning Services in NYC & NJ: Restore Your Stone to Its Original Shine

Marble is a luxurious and timeless material that adds elegance and sophistication to any home or business. Whether it's used for flooring, countertops, or decorative accents, marble's natural beauty can elevate the look of any space. However, like any natural stone, marble can lose its luster over time due to wear, dirt, stains, and environmental factors. That's where expert marble cleaning services in NYC & NJ come in—restoring your stone to its original shine and preserving its beauty for years to come.

Why Marble Cleaning Is Essential

Marble, with its smooth, polished surface, can be susceptible to damage from daily use and exposure to various elements. Over time, without proper care and maintenance, marble surfaces can become dull, scratched, or stained. Whether it's from spilled food or liquids, foot traffic, or the natural build-up of grime and dirt, your marble surfaces can lose their polished shine, diminishing the beauty of your space.

Additionally, everyday cleaning products and harsh chemicals can cause long-term damage to marble. Many household cleaners contain acidic or abrasive ingredients that can etch or discolor the surface, making professional cleaning even more important. Regularly scheduled professional marble cleaning services in NYC & NJ can restore the stone's luster while keeping it in top condition.

Hiring professional marble cleaning services offers a range of benefits that DIY cleaning simply can't match. Here are just a few reasons to consider expert marble cleaning for your home or business:

Restoration of Natural ShineOne of the key reasons to hire professionals is their ability to restore marble's natural shine. Over time, marble can lose its reflective surface due to dirt, grime, and wear. Expert marble cleaners use specialized tools and techniques to polish the stone, effectively removing surface imperfections and restoring its original sheen. Whether you have light-colored marble countertops or dark marble floors, the cleaning professionals have the knowledge and experience to bring back the marble’s glow.

Deep Cleaning and Stain RemovalStains are a common issue with marble, particularly in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Spilled wine, coffee, oil, and other substances can seep into the stone and leave behind unsightly marks. Professional marble cleaners have the right tools and cleaning solutions to tackle even the toughest stains without damaging the stone. They use specialized poultices and cleaners designed for marble to lift stains and restore the surface's natural appearance.

Protection Against Future DamageAfter a thorough cleaning, expert marble cleaners can apply a protective sealant to your marble surfaces. This helps to prevent stains and damage from oils, water, and other substances. A high-quality sealant can significantly reduce the risk of permanent staining and scratching, ensuring that your marble surfaces stay looking beautiful for a longer period.

Increased Lifespan of Your Marble SurfacesRegular professional marble cleaning helps preserve the integrity of the stone, extending its lifespan. Marble is a durable material, but it can be susceptible to damage if not properly maintained. By investing in expert cleaning services, you're not only restoring your marble to its original shine but also protecting your investment in the long run.

Time and Effort SavingsCleaning marble surfaces can be time-consuming, especially when you're unsure of the right techniques or products to use. Professional marble cleaning services in NYC & NJ take the hassle out of the process, allowing you to enjoy your space without the worry of damaging your stone. Experts handle the job quickly and efficiently, saving you time and effort while delivering superior results.

The Marble Cleaning Process

When you hire an expert marble cleaning service, the process typically involves several steps to ensure that your marble surfaces are cleaned, polished, and protected effectively.

Assessment and InspectionThe first step in the marble cleaning process is a thorough inspection of the surfaces. The cleaning professional will assess the condition of the marble, identifying any stains, scratches, or areas that need special attention. This step is important because it allows the experts to determine the best cleaning method and products to use for each specific area.

Deep CleaningOnce the inspection is complete, the marble cleaning service will begin the deep cleaning process. Using a combination of gentle cleaners, hot water, and specialized tools, the team will carefully clean your marble surfaces, removing dirt, grime, and other contaminants. This step is essential to restoring the stone’s cleanliness and preparing it for polishing.

Stain RemovalIf any stains are present, the professionals will use specialized poultices or cleaning solutions to lift the stains from the marble. These products are designed to break down and absorb the stain without harming the marble. Stain removal may require some time to ensure that the marble is left spotless.

Polishing and BuffingOnce the surface is clean, the experts will begin polishing the marble. Using a professional polishing machine, the stone is buffed to restore its original shine and smooth texture. This step helps remove any minor scratches or dull spots, leaving the marble looking fresh and gleaming.

Sealing and ProtectionFinally, the marble is sealed with a high-quality protective coating. This helps prevent future staining and damage, while also enhancing the stone's natural beauty. Sealing is a critical part of the maintenance process, as it makes marble surfaces easier to clean and maintain in the future.

Why Choose Professional Marble Cleaning in NYC & NJ?

There are many marble cleaning services available in NYC & NJ, but choosing a professional, experienced company ensures that your marble surfaces receive the highest level of care. Professional marble cleaning companies use only the best products and equipment to restore and maintain your stone. They also have the expertise to handle delicate marble surfaces, ensuring that your investment is well-protected.

In addition, professional cleaners are trained to address various types of marble, from classic Carrara to darker, more exotic stones. Their ability to customize their cleaning approach based on the specific needs of each marble surface ensures superior results every time.

Conclusion

Marble is an investment in luxury and elegance, and it's worth taking the necessary steps to maintain its beauty. Expert marble cleaning services in NYC & NJ can help you restore your marble surfaces to their original shine, remove stubborn stains, and protect the stone for years to come. By choosing a professional service, you're ensuring that your marble remains as stunning as the day it was installed.

Why Pure Polyester Powder Suppliers Like Nivera Paints Are Leading The Eco-Friendly Coating Revolution

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, eco-friendly solutions are no longer a mere trend; they’re an absolute necessity. Traditional liquid paints and coatings, which once dominated the industrial landscape, are now being replaced by cleaner, greener, and more efficient powder-based alternatives. At the forefront of this revolution, Nivera Paints has emerged as a shining example of how innovation and responsibility can unite to transform an industry. As one of the leading names paving the way for change, Nivera Paints stands as a symbol of what modern coating suppliers can achieve when they place environmental stewardship, product quality, and customer value at the heart of their operations.

The Growing Demand for Sustainable Coatings

Industries such as construction as well as car manufacturers have observed that customers all over the world are shifting their focus towards eco-friendly products. This is not merely a question of ethics but of performance, and effectiveness as well. Pure polyester powder coatings are the viable option that creates a chance to lessen waste, increase endurance, and save the environment. In addition to that, the powder coating system consists of zero or microscopic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), that greatly enhance the quality of the air to breathe in the workplace. Powder coatings are the perfect fit for businesses willing to go green as they provide tangible qualities to the processes they coat. As they seek out the top-tier pure polyester powder suppliers in Faridabad, these businesses become part of an economy that is working towards a circular economy.

Understanding the Pure Polyester Difference

There is a big difference between different types of powder coatings. As for pure polyester powder, it is seen to be characterized by an extremely high ability to resist weather and UV stability and relatively high toughness. Coatings that do not have toxic solvents, as well as those to which these types of coatings can be applied with the generation of a large amount of waste, have a higher environmental advantage. This makes pure polyester coatings ideal for several industries ranging from construction to home electric products and even furniture. As businesses evolve, they look for service providers who will provide them with coatings that are durable in performance yet environmentally friendly. If this demand is to be fulfilled then one needs to find out some of the best pure polyester powder manufacturers in Faridabad that offer quality, consistency, and most of the time it’s also environmentally friendly products.

How Responsible Suppliers Are Changing the Game

That’s why eco-friendly powder coatings have not appeared only because someone decided to ‘green.’ They have gained popularity through effective lays by responsible suppliers who have not relented in conducting research, development, and innovation. These innovative and far-sighted suppliers improve their product portfolios so that the powders that they offer comply both with high-quality requirements and stringent ecological norms. Thus, this sophisticated production process ensures that every produced batch of powder coatings is easy to apply on the substrate and cites-friendly. Businesses have started to realize that sourcing polyester powder from pure local suppliers in Faridabad who carry the above qualities is not just an environmental management strategy but it is also a strong business strategy. The result? Cost-effective, longer timespan of product durability and maintenance, and a brand image that appeals to today’s society.

The Unparalleled Advantages of Powder Coating

In a world where there are seemingly endless options of available protective coatings for metal surfaces why choose powder coatings instead of ordinary paint? First of all, it is necessary to mention that powder coatings are thermostışıed to the surface, which means that the obtained coating is impervious to such detrimental effects as chipping, scratching, and fading. This makes products long-lasting, thus the need to repaint or replace them frequently is almost eliminated. In addition, the overspray in powder coatings is recoverable hence little or no material wastage is witnessed. This closed-loop system is vastly different from the high wastage levels of liquid paints. Moreover, as compared with other coatings, powder coatings can produce an endless variety of mattes, glosses, and other finishes, so imagination and originality can run wild with a product design. In other words, getting the right supplier is beneficial to businesses as it gets them coatings that are almost as multi-talented and socially responsible as they need to be.

Innovation and Collaboration: The Future of Coatings

Of course, the transformation of pure polyester powder coatings is not taking place in isolation. Particularly rewarding is the cooperation with manufacturers, suppliers, research institutions, and the final consumers who share their feedback. By so doing, formulators and suppliers get into (better) collaborations to fine-tune formulations to even higher levels of performance. Emerging technologies like cure powders that provide ultra-low-temperature cure, and resins derived from renewable resources are no longer simply on the horizon: they are already on the horizon — that is, they can be seen with the naked eye if the human eye were made sensitive to them. In other words, today supply chain organizations have evolved to be a sort of living organism in which information circulates freely for the good of all. Continuing to eliminate barriers the industry can always go further, optimizing the cost, performance, and durability of powder coatings and making them even more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Embracing a Sustainable Mindset for the Long Run

Changing to these more environmentally friendly coatings, however, is only the first measure. The truly sustainable approach should be spirited and pervade all the actions of the company. This includes selecting appropriate coatings and suppliers but also includes using energy-effective equipment, recycling systems, and training people on environmental consciousness. It is in these steps that eco-efforts go beyond shrinking the carbon footprint, organizations win customers, motivate employees, and create value for stakeholders. The result? An industry that has no problem with claiming not only to be putting its products on formulations but also to save the planet for the generations to come.

Conclusion

As the world collectively embraces more sustainable practices, the coating industry has a pivotal role to play. Companies like Nivera Paints are leading this charge, illustrating how responsible suppliers can wield innovation and environmental ethics to achieve remarkable results. By turning to cleaner, safer, and more versatile powder coatings, they’re not just meeting market demands—they’re setting the standard. The presence of reputable pure polyester powder suppliers in Faridabad ensures that businesses ready to make the shift have reliable partners to guide them. Whether you’re a manufacturer seeking a robust protective finish or a consumer looking to support brands that align with your values, powder coatings provide a satisfying solution. For anyone eager to witness how sustainability and quality can go hand in hand, look no further than Nivera Paints and their trailblazing approach to eco-friendly coatings. In the end, when innovation and responsibility meet, the world wins.

The Importance of Commercial Cleaning Supplies for Every Industry

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining clean and hygienic environments is essential for the health, safety, and productivity of individuals across various industries. Commercial cleaning supplies play a crucial role in ensuring cleanliness and sanitation. From office spaces to healthcare facilities, each industry requires specialized cleaning solutions to meet specific needs. Let’s explore some of the key sectors where commercial cleaning supplies are indispensable.

1. Commercial Cleaning

Commercial cleaning involves maintaining the cleanliness of office spaces, corporate buildings, and public areas. For businesses to run efficiently, employees and clients must work in a clean environment. Key commercial cleaning supplies include surface disinfectants, floor cleaners, window cleaning solutions, and carpet care products. These cleaning supplies help in reducing the spread of germs and enhancing the overall productivity of employees.

2. Dairy Industry Cleaning

The dairy industry requires stringent cleaning standards to maintain hygiene and ensure that milk and dairy products are free from contaminants. Specialized cleaning supplies like dairy sanitizers, milk line cleaners, and equipment degreasers are essential in this industry. The cleaning solutions used must meet the health regulations and be effective in eliminating bacteria, mold, and residue that could affect the quality of dairy products. Ensuring the cleanliness of milk tanks, pipelines, and storage areas helps in preventing spoilage and contamination.

3. General & Household Cleaning

For everyday cleaning at home or in small businesses, a variety of general cleaning supplies are needed. All-purpose cleaners, dishwashing liquids, floor detergents, and bathroom disinfectants help maintain a tidy and hygienic space. Commercial-grade products like heavy-duty floor scrubbers, carpet cleaners, and multi-surface wipes can save time and effort, providing a superior clean in less time. Households and businesses alike benefit from easy-to-use, effective products that help maintain cleanliness daily.

4. Hospitality Cleaning

In the hospitality industry, maintaining cleanliness is critical to providing guests with a comfortable and pleasant experience. Hotels, restaurants, and event venues rely on commercial cleaning supplies such as disinfectants, glass cleaners, air fresheners, and specialized laundry detergents. These cleaning products help ensure that rooms, dining areas, and public spaces are spotless, reducing the risk of infection and enhancing customer satisfaction.

5. Industrial Cleaning

Industrial cleaning is essential for ensuring that factories, warehouses, and production facilities remain safe and clean. Heavy-duty industrial cleaners, degreasers, and floor scrubbers are commonly used to remove tough dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants from machinery and floors. Regular industrial cleaning helps to maintain equipment performance, prevent accidents, and comply with safety regulations, all of which are necessary for smooth operations.

6. Workshop & Transport Cleaning

Workshops and transport vehicles often face high traffic and exposure to dirt, oil, and other stains. Commercial cleaning supplies designed for these environments include industrial-strength degreasers, upholstery cleaners, and vehicle disinfectants. Keeping transport fleets, tools, and machinery clean ensures their longevity, performance, and safety while also preventing the spread of harmful contaminants.

7. Aged Care & Healthcare Cleaning

In aged care facilities and healthcare environments, cleanliness is a matter of life and death. Hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics require specialized cleaning products to maintain a sterile and safe environment. Hospital-grade disinfectants, antibacterial cleaners, and surface sanitizers are crucial in preventing the spread of infections. These products are designed to kill harmful pathogens, ensuring the safety and health of patients, staff, and visitors.

8. Hospital Grade Disinfectants

Hospital-grade disinfectants are essential in all healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and aged care homes. These disinfectants are formulated to kill a wide range of harmful pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, ensuring that surfaces are safe for patients and medical staff. They are also used in high-traffic areas to control the spread of infections, making them a crucial part of any healthcare cleaning routine.

Conclusion

Whether in a corporate office, healthcare facility, or industrial setting, using the right commercial cleaning supplies is critical to maintaining a safe, clean, and productive environment. Industry-specific cleaning products, from hospital-grade disinfectants to dairy sanitizers, are designed to meet the unique needs of each sector, ensuring the highest levels of cleanliness and hygiene. By investing in quality cleaning supplies, businesses can protect their employees, customers, and equipment while enhancing their overall operations.

The Science Behind Streak-Free Windows: Understanding Surface Tension and Cleaning Agents

e loosened dirt and grease are lifted away and suspended in the cleaning solution, ready to be wiped or rinsed off completely.

The dual action of surfactants not only removes dirt but also prevents it from reattaching to the glass during the cleaning process.

Alcohol-Based Ingredients

Alcohol-based components, such as isopropyl alcohol, are often included in professional-grade cleaners. These ingredients:

Promote Quick Drying: Alcohol evaporates faster than water, reducing the time windows stay wet. This quick evaporation minimises the risk of streaks forming as the liquid dries unevenly.

Cut Through Grease: Alcohol’s solvent properties help dissolve grease, fingerprints, and smudges with ease, leaving behind a clear surface.

For homes and businesses in Perth, this is particularly beneficial as alcohol-based cleaners can counteract the effects of mineral-heavy water often found in the area.

Ammonia and pH Balancing

Many window cleaners also incorporate ammonia or other pH-adjusting agents. These ingredients play a crucial role in:

Breaking Down Organic Matter: Ammonia effectively dissolves tough organic stains, such as bird droppings or insect residues.

Neutralising Streak-Causing Residues: A balanced pH ensures that no alkaline or acidic residue remains on the surface, which could cause streaking when the glass dries.

However, care must be taken with ammonia-based products, especially indoors, as fumes can irritate the eyes and respiratory system. For this reason, many professional window cleaner Perth services opt for low-ammonia or ammonia-free formulations.

Chelating Agents

Chelating agents are added to window cleaners to counteract hard water. These compounds bind to minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave unsightly spots or streaks on glass. This is particularly valuable in Perth, where hard water can pose a consistent challenge for maintaining streak-free windows.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives

As sustainability becomes a priority, eco-friendly cleaning agents are gaining popularity. These products rely on biodegradable surfactants, plant-based solvents, and non-toxic pH balancers. Many window cleaner Perth services now use environmentally friendly solutions to meet customer demand while reducing their environmental impact.

The Importance of Tailored Cleaning Solutions

In Perth, the local climate and water conditions significantly influence cleaning outcomes. High UV exposure can cause certain residues to bake onto windows, making them harder to remove. Additionally, mineral-heavy water requires cleaning agents with robust chelating properties to prevent streaking and spotting. Choosing a specialised window cleaner Perth ensures the use of products formulated to address these regional challenges effectively.

By understanding the chemistry of cleaning agents and selecting the right formulations, you can achieve spotless, streak-free windows that enhance the aesthetic and value of your property.

Techniques for Streak-Free Cleaning

Even with the right cleaning solution, technique is critical. Professional window cleaners in Perth often use tools like squeegees to remove excess water and cleaning agents efficiently. Key techniques include:

Wiping Direction: Cleaning in horizontal or vertical strokes prevents circular streaks.

Drying Tools: Microfibre cloths absorb moisture and polish glass without leaving lint or fibres.

Temperature Considerations: Cleaning windows on cooler days avoids rapid evaporation, which can leave streaks.

The combination of the right products and precise methods ensures a flawless finish, a hallmark of experienced window cleaners in Perth.

Environmental Impact of Window Cleaning Solutions

Modern advancements in chemistry have led to eco-friendly cleaning agents that reduce harm to the environment. Biodegradable surfactants and low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) formulations offer sustainable options for homes and businesses seeking a greener approach. Many window cleaners in Perth now prioritise these products to meet increasing demand for environmentally responsible solutions.

Conclusion

Achieving streak-free windows is a balance of understanding surface tension, using the right cleaning agents, and employing effective techniques. Professional services offering window cleaner in Perth are equipped with the expertise and tools to deliver flawless results, ensuring that every window is not only clean but enhances the appearance of the property.

For those in Perth looking to maintain their windows to a professional standard, consulting a local expert ensures access to top-grade products and proven methods tailored to the region’s unique environmental conditions.

The Importance Of Cleanliness In Your Business Space: Get Prepares For Upcoming Holidays

Maintaining the cleanliness of your business premises is crucial throughout the year. Customers, guests, and visitors will always evaluate your business based on its cleanliness, tidiness, and overall appearance. Therefore, it is essential to stay ahead of the holiday rush and chaos. Ensuring your space remains clean and sparkling is a must. Here are some essential carpet cleaning tips to keep you prepared for the upcoming holiday season.

The Holidays and Their Impact on Your Interior

The holiday season is approaching, and the festive spirit is gradually making its presence felt. From the joyful Christmas carols playing in the background to the glittering and colorful decorations adorning your walls, your home or business cannot escape the magic of the season.

The holidays are a wonderful time, a season to celebrate and spend time with loved ones. However, the holiday season can be tough on your interiors. Accidents are inevitable in crowded spaces, leading to stains from wine and food spills. Increased foot traffic means more dirt and scuff marks. One of the main casualties of holiday parties and the rush is your carpet. It bears the brunt of everything from spilled drinks and food to dirt and mud tracked in by foot traffic. Therefore, it is crucial to prepare your maintenance and cleaning team to protect your carpet.

Carpet Cleaning Tips You'll Appreciate

Carpet Cleaning Chelsea make your establishment feel more inviting and cozier. They enhance the aesthetic appeal of your interior and help keep your space warmer, especially during colder weather. There are numerous benefits to maintaining clean carpets, so it's wise to take good care of them. Here are some carpet cleaning tips to keep in mind as the holiday season approaches.

Thoroughly Mop and Vacuum at Closing Time

At the end of each day, make sure to mop and vacuum the entire premises. This prevents dirt from accumulating and becoming difficult to remove. Delaying this can lead to excessive dirt buildup. Dust that settles in your carpet not only affects its appearance but also impacts the air quality inside your establishment, potentially leading to respiratory issues and health problems.

Use a Welcome Mat at Your Entrance

A welcome mat can significantly reduce the amount of dirt that comes into contact with your carpet. Mats with bristles can help scrape off dirt and mud from your patrons' shoes before they step inside. Choose welcome mats that complement the design and interior of your business establishment.

Install a Coat Rack and Umbrella Stand at Your Entrance

Coats and umbrellas might seem harmless to your carpeting, but they can bring in water on a cold, rainy day. If allowed inside, droplets can seep into your carpet, leading to unsightly water stains.

Prepare Cleaning Solutions for Various Carpet Stains

You never know what kind of stain might end up on your carpet, so it's best to be prepared for common ones. For water stains, use a solution of one cup of water and two ounces of white vinegar. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of one cup of water and one teaspoon of dish soap. To tackle red wine stains, mix dish soap with hydrogen peroxide or dish washing liquid.

Hire Professional Carpet Cleaners

During the holidays, you’ll want to focus on your work or business rather than carpet cleaning. Keeping your space clean can be overwhelming when running a business, and doing it yourself might cause damage. Instead of saving money on cleaning services, you might end up spending more. Hire a reputable carpet cleaning service with excellent reviews and a proven track record. Glory Clean can help keep your carpet and flooring in top condition. For superior and excellent carpet cleaning services, contact Glory Clean today!

Introduction Rubber, like cork, comes from trees. This makes rubber flooring a natural product that is environmentally-friendly, which is great news for environmentally-conscious consumers. Rubber flooring is quite popular in commercial spaces, though relatively underused in residential spaces. This article aims to explore rubber flooring looking at the advantages, disadvantages and maintenance for commercial and residential spaces. Advantages of Rubber Flooring - Durability: One of rubber’s main advantages is its incredible durability. Rubber can withstand heavy foot traffic making it ideal for commercial spaces and for busy residential spaces. Where other flooring types may scratch or dent, rubber is resilient and often does not show signs of wear and tear as visibly as other flooring. Rubber is an excellent choice as a long-term flooring investment for your commercial or residential space. - Comfort: Rubber is a naturally soft material, which means it is gentle underfoot. This makes it great for spaces where people need to stand for long time, such as kitchens or entrances to commercial spaces. Furthermore, rubber flooring is great for the elderly, both in residential and commercial settings. - Anti-Slip: Rubber is a naturally grippy material. This means that slipping on rubber flooring is unlikely, even with minor spillages on the floor. This could benefit homes with young children, pets or elderly people who are prone to slipping. Also, commercial spaces where spillages are likely, such as laboratories, can benefit from this safety-first floor. - Sound Insulation: Rubber also has sound insulating properties. This means that rubber flooring can deaden sounds and reduce ambient noises such as footfall. This makes it excellent for commercial spaces where concentration is needed, such as schools and offices. In a residential setting, rubber floors are great in multi-storey buildings, such as multi-story houses and apartment blocks. - Eco-Friendly: Rubber is harvested by extracting a liquid sap from certain trees. This process does not damage the tree and actually rubber tree farms can sustain and increase biodiversity in that area. This makes rubber flooring an excellent choice for eco-conscious consumers and businesses. Disadvantages of Rubber Flooring - Expense: Rubber flooring has numerous advantages, but one disadvantage is the cost of buying it. It is one of the most expensive floorcoverings to buy per square metre. - Smell: When installing rubber flooring, sometimes a smell is emitted. Usually, this does not last long, but in some cases it may linger. Just be aware of this. Maintaining Rubber Floors Thankfully, rubber floors are easy to maintain, as rubber is naturally resistant to stains and water spills. A regular sweeping or vacuuming routine (depending on which you prefer) is a good start. Once a week in a residential space should be enough. Whereas, daily in a commercial space is recommended. On top of this, mopping occasionally with a PH-neutral rubber floor cleaner will help keep your floor in pristine condition for a long time. Once a month is enough for a residentially used rubber floors. Whereas, once or twice a week is better for commercially used rubber floors. Another maintenance advantage is that rubber floors are naturally hygienic and can improve indoor air quality. Commercial Vs Residential Use Historically, rubber floors have been used extensively in commercial spaces. For example, rubber floors are often found in gyms, schools, offices, retail and hospital spaces. This is because of rubber’s exceptional safety features, such as being grippy, soft underfoot, water-resistant and hygienic. All of these same great properties could be used in homes. For example, rubber floors in a kitchen makes a lot of sense, as you need to stand in this room for a long time and there may be accidental knocks or spills that rubber can handle well. Another residential room suitable for rubber floors is a bathroom. This grippy texture of rubber flooring would prevent accidental slips and the water-resistant nature of rubber is needed in a moisture rich room like a bathroom. Conclusion So, there you have it – a guide to rubber flooring. To sum up, there are numerous advantages of this floorcovering, such as safety (grip and softness), resistance (to water and stains), durability (scratches and dents do not show obviously) and importantly it is an eco-friendly floor. The major disadvantage of rubber flooring is its high initial cost, but rubber’s longevity definitely makes it a worthwhile long-term investment. Whilst rubber flooring is currently very popular in commercial spaces, there is huge scope for it to become a popular flooring in residential spaces too. You can browse Flooring Hut’s range of rubber floors and feel free to use our supply and fit service to get a professional to help you install your new rubber floor too. Read the full article
