Choosing the Right Decorative Wall Cladding

When selecting decorative wall claddings, it is essential to consider various factors to ensure that the final result meets your expectations.

1. Material

Choosing the right material is crucial as it affects the durability, maintenance, and overall look of the cladding. Natural Indian Marble and Indian Sandstone are excellent choices due to their beauty and robustness.

2. Design

Consider the design and pattern of the wall cladding. Whether you prefer modern, classic, or nature-inspired designs, ensure that the pattern complements the overall aesthetic of the space.

3. Color

The color of the wall cladding should harmonize with the existing color scheme of the room. Stone Art By SKL offers a range of colors in both marble and sandstone, allowing you to find the perfect match.

4. Texture

Texture adds depth and interest to walls. Choose a texture that enhances the overall look and feel of the space. For example, fluting patterns add a contemporary touch, while stone textures create a rustic ambiance.

Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and maintenance are key to ensuring the longevity and beauty of decorative wall claddings.

Installation

Professional Installation: It is recommended to hire professional installers to ensure that the wall cladding is installed correctly. This prevents issues such as uneven surfaces and poor adhesion.

Surface Preparation: The surface should be clean, dry, and free from any contaminants before installation. Proper surface preparation ensures a strong bond between the cladding and the wall.

Adhesives and Fixing: Use high-quality adhesives and fixing methods appropriate for the material and application. This ensures that the cladding remains securely attached to the wall.

Maintenance

Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean the wall cladding to remove dust and dirt. Use a soft cloth or brush and avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface.

Sealing: Natural stone claddings such as marble and sandstone may require sealing to protect them from stains and moisture. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for sealing frequency and products.

Inspection: Periodically inspect the cladding for any signs of damage or wear. Promptly address any issues to prevent further deterioration.

Hobie's Masterlist

The camera focuses on a leather clad man sitting on a patchwork armrest. His long leg is crossed over the other, metal clinking against each other when he moves. He places his elbow on the armrest, hand under his chin, ringed fingers tapping on his cheek—bored and clearly disinterested. Red eyes lined with dark eyeliner, piercings glimmering under the camera lights, sharp nails painted, he makes the crew suck in a breath.

He's the perfect picture of a rockstar.

The dimly lit gothic home provides the perfect backdrop to the ‘confession booth’, various books, knick knacks from far flung places are littered all over the living room. A grand piano stands proudly to his left, dark oak polished and well taken care off. Tapestries from the sixteenth century are tacked on the walls next to seventies and eighties band posters. His coat rack is full of jackets that look like they come from different times in history.

The producer nods at him, asking for the man's name, his voice just above a whisper so that the microphones don't catch the sound.

He sighs, jaws tighten for a second. “Name's Hobie, Hobie Brown.” His voice shakes the crew's bones. The blond haired producer clears his throat and Hobie rolls his eyes like a spoiled celebrity. “And I'm a vampire.” he says flatly.

The blond gestures for him to continue, asking him how old he is. “Fuckin' hell.” Hobie says under his breath. “Were you not taught manners? Come off it, you don't ask a vampire their age.”

The clipboard holding man, who pretends to be important, asks him why he agreed to the interview if he's so disinterested.

“Fine,” He smiles, showing his sharp fangs, the simple act makes the documentary team's heart skip a beat. “Before you say ‘m following a trend of vampires givin' interviews and a ‘peak behind the cape’ like the wankers in staten island or the lovebirds in dubai. ‘m not, ‘m only doin' this because,” he points dramatically at the clipboard holding man. “Your director told me all proceeds from this goes to charity. And it better be—”

Something thumps outside. The camera sharply turns to the closed floor length curtains.

“Oi, eyes back ‘ere.” Hobie exclaims, the camera whizzes back to his figure. “Again, vampire, been alive for…” he inhales, “a long bloody time. Been a pirate, a cowboy, hell even a rockstar. But always an anarchist.” He says proudly. “I've been rebelling against the one who bit me for centuries,” the camera zooms in on his scowl. “Hate that knobhead.”

Something falls right outside his windows, a groan and a curse sounding out, voice muffled by the walls.

The crew expects Hobie to hiss or even deal with the intruder but he smiles, posture loosening up.

“That,” he points at the source of the ruckus. “That’s a vampire hunter.” Smiling, the crew could hear a muffled ‘fuck you’ behind the walls. “She's been hunting me for a few years now. She—eh, hasn't been close.”

The cursing was louder, camera swishing towards the source, your angry face peeking out from the curtains. The boom mic captures your annoyed growl clearly as you place your face as close as possible on the glass.

“Fuck you, Hobart!”

He chuckles as the crew's face grows with concern. “Don't worry, she's—I guess bad at her job. She's interestin’ though. Y’know what, let me just show you.” He stands up, the cameras and the entire crew follows him through the hallways of his home.

The cameraman almost trips on a stray guitar on the floor. “Careful now, that was a present from some rockstar in the seventies. That's why I leave it on the floor, it works best as a boot scraper.”

Hobie stops in front of double doors, scenes of a love story are carved on the wood.

“It was a gift.” He addresses the doors, “not my first choice but where else would I put the bloody thing?” With a small push, hands braced on both doors, he reveals the expansive room lined with hundreds of paintings and photographs.

He sucks in his teeth. “The entire house is a gift, I'd rather live in a boathouse honestly but this works fine I guess.” Shrugging, he points at the oldest looking wood carving hanging on the wall. A man kneels in front of a woman, rose in his hand as she looks down at him with glee.

“Yes, that's me courting. The wood carver fucked up the scene though, it was more like me ravaging– uh” he clears his throat “…this won't show in pbs right?”

The people behind the cameras shrug as Hobie looks to them for an answer.

“I'll tone it down then, for the children, just in case.” He continues down the lineup of pictures.

Stopping by a large painting of what looks like Hobie in medieval clothing. The painted version of him is surrounded by flowers and trees. His antlers protruding from his head, webs clings to his arms.

“This was when people thought I was fae.” He makes a face, “everyone was tripping on shrooms back then.” walking towards the middle of the room, passing by a few more paintings and tapestries, He pauses on a yellowed painting of a woman who looks similar to you, only less angry.

“Look at her,” sighing, the vampire has heart eyes while looking at the painting. “this was before she was cursed by that bitcharse jealous witch. Now every descendant of hers is cursed to never harm me or any of my spawns, which is bad because they all think I killed their ancestor, and all they want is to kill me. A consequence of dating a vampire hunter during the fifteenth century, I guess.”

“The curse is a two way street, they can't kill me, I can't hypnotize them. It's not that I want to anyway.” he continues.

Another ruckus echoes throughout the house. Hobie smiles again. “I believe she doesn't know about it, so hush, yeah?” He does a double take. “Wait, can you cut that part out?”

—

The second crew runs towards you as you climb the tresses of the house. The camera lens zooms in on your clumsy climbing. Looking down, hearing leaves crunch underfoot, you yelp in surprise.

“What—?!” Losing your hold, you fall on a bush, landing directly at his wild flowers. “Ow! Who the fuck—?!”

—

Now sitting down on a lawn chair, leaves stuck in your hair, face and clothes covered in dirt, you scowl at the producer behind the camera.

Sighing, clicking your tongue, you answer their questions with another question. “Who the fuck are you guys?”

You raise an eyebrow at the words ‘documentary crew’ uttered by the producer.

“Seriously? Who would want to interview Hobart? Scratch that, is it because of those fuckers in staten island?”

A cameraman answers, ‘for charity.’

You blink in surprise, “charity? You fuckin' kidding me? Well if it's for the kids then.” sighing, you resign, looking directly at the camera with disdain, you say your first name. “And I'm a vampire hunter, I mean obviously I am just looking at all the stakes and holy water strapped to me. I look like I'm very fun at parties.” You say jokingly, “and church, probably. Dunno never been.”

The camera cuts back to Hobie still in the large room full of paintings and memorabilia.

“— I didn't do anythin’ wrong. They're absolutely mad at me for no reason—” he stops, thinking. “But I guess I was the reason their family was cursed innit?”

He changes subjects, showing the camera a painting near the end of the room.

“Oh this? This is when her great great great great grandfather almost got me, memories huh? He was mighty fit.” The crew zooms in on a gorgeous painting of a man trying to put a stake through Hobie's heart while he smiles up at him like he's smitten.

“Good times.” He chuckles.

—

“Fuck this.” You say, standing up from the chair, grabbing the mic off from your shirt abruptly. The camera follows you as you grab the lawn chair that you were just sitting on. You then proceed to throw it at a stained glass window. Giving you entry to his abode.

“It was gaudy anyway.” Entering the house, your shoes crunch the broken glass.

—

“Huh, she's inside. That's a record.” Hobie says almost excitedly. “I'll show you the rest of the room after this—.”

The double doors burst open, the camera swivels to you and the camera crew behind you. Holding a stake, you scowl at Hobie.

“Hello, darling, how was your commute?” He genuinely smiles.

“I have a car now, fuck you!” You lunge at him.

Lightning fast, he grabs your wrist right before the stake kisses his chest. The camera crews film on the sides, avoiding getting hit themselves.

“Good for you, finally saved up then?”

Lifting your legs, you kick his chest, you tumble, landing on your feet, staring at him menacingly. “Yes! It's a kia!” you scream before you run full speed at him.

“You got a good deal on it? Automatic or manual?”

“No!” You swing at him, he dodges. “I think I got swindled!” Kick “And it's a manual!” Punch “I’m not a pussy!”

Hobie clicks his tongue, avoiding the pointed edge of the stake. “Point ‘em to me, love, maybe I can get you your money back.”

Stepping back further away, you pause while he stands at the end of the room. Changing your hold on the sharp wood, you throw it at him, he leans slightly, dodging the projectile. it hits the wall right next to your ancestor’s portrait.

“You'll just drink him dry like the last guy!”

He shrugs, making a face that makes you want to punch him harder. “Not my fault he was a knobhead.”

You bounce on your feet, pouncing at him. “He was my dentist!”

He moves to the side, seeing you running towards one of the paintings, in danger of getting smashed by you. In his panic, he raises his arm to stop you, accidentally clothes lining you. His wall-like arm hits you right on your face.

Falling harshly on the floor, you're completely unconscious.

Hobie looks at the cameras with concern. “Shit.”

—

You wake up on an ancient looking couch, it's soft despite its appearance. Lifting your head with a groan, headache punching through the back of your head, you grimace loudly at the camera crew still filming in the corner.

Falling back on the couch, you hide your flustered face with your arm, pulling the blanket further up your chest.

“I promise I'm not that bad at fighting.” You murmur, still hiding your face from the cameras. “You just caught me at a bad time.”

Hobie suddenly appears with a whoosh, he holds a metal tray with tea and a hot compress placed on it.

“Who's giving you a bad time?”

You audibly groan. “No one.”

He places the tray on the coffee table, sparing a quick glance at the camera. “I caught you lackin’ you're not always that bad. Tea?”

Wordlessly reaching up, you flip him the bird. Hobie smiles softly, tapping your legs to give him space on the settee. The documentary crew is surprised that you actually move to give way to him.

He sits by your legs, preparing your tea just like how you always take it. Two sugars and a dash of milk. The entire production staff is perplexed to say the least.

With a clink of the tea spoon against the cup, you sit up, wincing slightly. “Can I get another sugar cube?”

Hobie raises a brow, “it's that kind of day huh? What's bothering you, love?”

You scoff, taking a cube for yourself then plopping it in your tea cup. “Nothing.”

He flicks his eyes at the camera with a knowing glance. Resting his elbow atop his thigh, chin placed on his hand, he pokes at your leg using his foot. Wordlessly having a conversation. With a sigh and a frown, you sip at your tea.

“Ex kicked me out. Now I'm living with the family again.”

Hobie's nonchalance drops, hand instinctively reaching out to you until he realizes what he's doing, he retracts his hand back.

“Shit, ‘m sorry. Their loss.”

“Mm-hmm, consequences of living with someone you've only dated for three months.” You finish your drink in one gulp. “‘sides, I don't have to pay rent anymore.”

“You've got shitty taste in partners.” You snort, half agreeing with him. “But you have to live with your psycho family so there's that.”

You laugh, the camera zooms in on Hobie's pleased expression.

“They're tolerable now, mellowed out after they took out count Belois.” You look at Hobie, copying his position like a mirror.

“He was an arse, did all of us a favour.” he stares at your eyes while the camera continues to film, yet you two don't seem to notice them anymore.

“Yeah, wish I was there though.” You say in a small voice. “They never invite me to those hunts. Always left watching outside.”

Hobie reaches towards you again, this time he actually holds you. Long fingers curling around your wrist, his thumb rubbing gently. “If only they know how hard you could kick.”

“You barely moved when I kicked you.” Chuckling, your eyes sparkle under the dim lights.

“Well it's me,” he inches closer to you in the seat, knee brushing against yours. “But if it was any other vampire out there they would have flown.”

You scrunch your face. Laying your hand down to your thigh, Hobie intertwined his fingers around yours properly this time. The camera captures the confusing scene.

“Because they turned into a bat?”

He grins, showing you his teeth, you don't even flinch. “Nah, because you kicked ‘em too hard. Did you hit your head that hard?” Knocking his knuckles against your temple softly, you move back like lightning has struck you.

“No, I'm actually okay, thanks.” You take your hand away, eyes flitting nervously at the camera then to Hobie. “I gotta go, dinner with the psycho family.” Standing up, you take your belongings from the floor. “You know how it is.”

He looks up at you with an unreadable expression, “yeah, I know how it is.” He says forlornly.

Patting his shoulder awkwardly, your hand lingers for a half second. “Bye,” you stare at the crew in the corner, “bye to all of you, I guess. Don't get eaten.”

The camera pans towards Hobie who just shrugs, fangs poking out of his lips.

—

Hobie eats alone in his empty dining room. The table is long, made of strong narra, designed to sit a dozen or so people. He sits in the head of the table, utensils scraping against the bloodied plate. His goblet is full, untouched.

He looks up at the camera on the other side of the table, observing his every move.

“The table's a gift too.” He says before continuing to eat silently.

—

The camera follows Hobie throughout his day. Roaming aimlessly around the house, he floats above the ground, hand and feet sticking on the wall while he dusts pictures that's placed on the highest shelf.

In the afternoon, he writes music on his piano while he flashes back and forth towards the drums and guitar, testing the music he wrote.

The crew captures Hobie burying something in the backyard. Jacket off, tank top and bare arms in full display. Moonlight illuminating his skin. His necklaces clink together as he shovels in dirt, packing the hole in tightly. The producer asks something about familiars and Hobie scowls at the word.

“No, just no. ‘m fully against havin’ familiars, it's fuckin' wrong.” He sticks the shovel harshly on the soil when the producer questions him again. “Ask me again and you'll be the one ‘m burying next.”

The camera shuts off abruptly.

—

The small supermarket's repetitive jingle from the nineties irks Hobie as he shops for some meat. But what irks him more is the documentary crew finding him especially after he went out of his way to hide from them.

He tosses a box of your favourite tea in the basket, annoyed at the team behind the cameras and boom mics. “Do the lot of you have a tracker on me or somethin’?” Shaking his head, he stomps down the aisle, heavy boots thudding loudly on the floor.

With his leather jacket plus all the metal and spikes on him, Hobie looks like a regular punk shopping for groceries. But if you looked closer, stayed too long in his presence, your flight or fight response kicks in, rendering anyone frozen on the spot.

His ruby eyes scan around the soap display, trying to ignore the cameras and people trailing after him, he gets a whiff of a familiar scent: strawberries and cream, it's you.

Hobie's feet move on its own, carrying him towards your direction. He spots you standing in the fruit section, weighing a watermelon in your hands, knocking on it then listening to the sound closely like you're trying to eavesdrop.

“What's the watermelon saying?”

“Christ!” You jump, dropping the watermelon.

Thankfully he catches it before the fruit splatters on the linoleum. “Just me, love.”

Clutching your chest, you take deep breaths. “I thought I smelled something rotten.” He raises a brow at your comment. “What are you doing here? This is far from your place.”

“First of all, I smell like sandalwood and fresh linen, fuck you.” You snort, rolling your eyes. “And ‘m tryin' to avoid them.” He points behind him, towards the cameras.

“Augh, they're still following you?”

“Apparently I signed a contract, it's not a one time thing.” He places the watermelon back to the crate, taking one that is riper and sweeter just for you. He then gently drops it in your cart, you nod a thanks.

“I told you before don't sign anything when you're drunk off of alcohol filled blood.”

“You're right, lovie, should've listened to you. Can't blame me when I only hear music whenever you open your pretty mouth.” He leans on your cart nonchalantly, giving you his signature smirk that has people falling over themselves for centuries.

“That's not much of a compliment.” You grimace, unaffected by his charm. “Listen, since we're in a public place I'm not gonna try to kill you so please get off my cart, I've got some shopping to do.” Shaking the trolley, he leans away, dismayed. “Also, the owner seems to like me, which is rare enough, so I don't want to ruin my relationship with the old lady. Shoo, Hobart, I'm off the clock.”

“You've got two people who like you now. One more than the other, I suppose.”

You narrow your eyes towards the vampire. “Who's the second one.”

Hobie walks backwards, arm wrapped around his basket, smile blinding everyone in its vicinity. “Me, darling, isn't it obvious?”

The bright fluorescent lights shouldn't do him any favours but by god, he looks amazing under it.

You don't answer, the camera zooms into your hands gripping the handles of the shopping cart, chest heaving, swallowing thickly.

He leaves, going towards the cashier to pay for his groceries. And you spot a sign that's labeled ‘50% off on garlic!’ you glare at the camera, pushing the cart towards the display.

—

Hobie sits on his work table, pieces of a TV are jumbled out on the table as he tinkers with them. His hands shake slightly, he should really feed.

“—‘m pretty good with technology, not like the other vampires. I've adapted well with—” he sniffs, “wait, what's that smell?”

He opens the door to find thousands of garlic circling around his house, “what—?”

“Tada!” You pop out from the side, hands carrying bushels of garlic, no doubt smelling like it too. “Wait, no, not tada, that's in poor taste because you hate them.”

Hobie gags at the smell, eyes watery and irritated. “This is a bad idea!” He rubs at his eyes, tears fully streaming on his cheeks.

“Why? Because it's working?!” You cackle, throwing the vegetable like confetti, one lands right on top of your head.

“Because it attracts—!”

You screech when you feel a sharp tug at your coat. A little green creature shrieks at you, the sound rings your eardrums, almost breaking the boom mic. Its eyes are dark and glassy, ears pointed, teeth sharp.

“A Goblin?!” Falling on your ass, you crawl backwards, watching as more and more of them appear from the bushes.

“I'm a goblin.” The one with a worn out party hat says, voice cracking like foil.

“What are you a Pokémon?!”

Hobie runs after you as fast as he can with the garlic hindering him. “Get inside!” He yells, dragging you towards the door. His hands sizzle atop your arms, the garlic searing his skin.

The creatures skidaddles towards you, towards the smell of garlic. Waves upon waves of green skitter and crawl on all limbs, eyes hungry, mouths agape.

“Hobie!” You hold on to his wrists as the ground scratches your back. Kicking an incoming goblin, you yelp as the door closes at the nick of time.

Claws scratch at the windows and walls. One of them even bangs its head hard on the glass just to get to you.

Hobie hides you behind him, eyes still stinging and skin aflame. “Get to the basement!” He screams when one breaches the house with glass shattering. “Go!”

Running down, Hobie lets you and the crew go first. He grabs a cutlass from the wall, chopping one that comes a little too close to your leg.

You look back at him with worry. “Hobie!”

“I'll be there! Just go!” He grabs one by the neck, throwing it away haphazardly.

It yells a faint ‘whee’ as it sails through the house.

Reaching the large basement, you search for the light switch, a cameraman beats you to it and you yelp at the sudden brightness.

The basement is full of things from different centuries. An iron maiden lays discarded on the corner, its steel rusted and brown. A sculpture of a woman sits on a shelf, it looks like it's a long lost work of Rodin. There's a large tapestry depicting a vampire war that is now collecting dust on the wall.

But the thing that catches your eyes is the massive metal cage that sits in the middle of the room. You would gawk but the swarm of goblins are nearing the basement. The familiar thumping of boots shakes you with relief.

“Cage!” Hobie grabs you effortlessly, you have no time to react as he carries you like a duffel bag by your waist.

The crew follows frantically, closing the metal doors shut behind them just as the swarm gets close. They shriek and bang on the bars, little arms trying to reach towards you.

He lays you back to your feet, dropping the drenched sword on the ground, palms still healing. He cups your face, searching for any injuries.

“You alright?” He heaves, out of breath, legs covered in goblin bites and palms searing but he looks at you like you're the one who's bleeding.

Staring at him with your irises blown out, mouth slightly parted, you embrace him to his surprise and the crew's.

“I'm okay,” you lean away before he could hug back. Hands placed on his shoulders, nails digging into him like he's about to be yanked away from you. “Are you?”

Hobie forgets about the other people inside the cage and the goblins trying to nibble at him. It's only you in his hands, even though the pungent smell of garlic makes his nose itch. Eyes tender, touch gentle, he could only nod.

“Yeah, I'm good now.” His voice lacks the usual charm.

You can finally breathe. “I thought���I'm the only one that's allowed to kill you.”

Chuckling, he traces your jaw with his thumb. “I know. You're first in line, darling.”

The crew stands near the sides awkwardly.

—

The goblins are trashing Hobie's basement, and based on the sounds from upstairs, they're also wreaking havoc in the entire house.

You sit back to back with Hobie in the middle of the cage, away from the bars, hands braced to your sides, his own are mere inches away from yours. He's glad that the garlic smell has wafted away from you, but not enough to get rid of the goblins still hankering for your flesh.

The crew stays away from the openings of the cage whilst a handful of the creatures try to grab at their equipment. It's been hours since the initial attack and everyone's getting hungry and thirsty, including Hobie.

“Why do you even have a dungeon in your basement—? Wait, scratch that, don't answer.” You try to pass the time.

“It was for your great great uncle—”

“Ew!”

“Get your head out of the gutter.” He says flatly, hands shaking from hunger. “I got it so he has a safe place to transform every full moon.”

“What? Huh, so that's why that branch of the family is so hairy.”

He changes the subject. “What were you thinkin’ with the garlic?” Hobie lays his head right on your shoulder, craning his neck to face you, he uses the closeness to memorize your face. His crimson eyes are dimmer than you're used to.

“I dunno, I thought it was a genius idea back then. Y’know, trap you inside, starve you then when you're weak enough I'd put a stake through your heart.”

“It's a good thing you're bloody fit.” He murmurs, chuckling quietly. “You almost got me though.” Your ears pick up the fatigue in his voice.

“And here I thought you fancy me for my amazing personality.”

“That too.” He smiles weakly, feeling the ache in his bones. “We need to get out of here.” His jaw visibly tightens, wanting to get away from you and your scent. Unfortunately it's not so easy when you're trapped.

“I know,” You sigh, Hobie sits up, covering his ears with the heels of his palms. “You okay?”

“I can hear your blood rushing through your veins.” He bites the inside of his cheeks. “Fuck, we really need to get out of here.” Standing up on wobbly feet, you help him up while the crew stands as far as they can without getting slashed by goblin claws.

“You're hungry.” You state the obvious.

“Starvin’” his red eyes flick down to your neck, already feeling guilty from the simple look.

You swallow thickly. “When was the last time you drank?”

“A couple days ago.” His vision blurs.

“Why are you starving yourself?” Scolding him, you guide him back down on the cold granite. “Hobart.”

“Why do you keep callin' me that?” Cold hands against your own, his eyes zeroes in on your face, avoiding the veins in your neck. “You sound like her when you call me that.”

Your eyes soften, warming him with your palms atop his cheeks, you worry. “You haven't answered my question.”

He groans, head lolling backwards. “Got busy, forgot what day it was.”

“Busy with what?” You click your tongue, lifting his head back up with your hands under his head. You search his hungry eyes, making a decision you could regret in the long run.

“If I let you feed, will you be able to get rid of the goblins?”

That has him picking his head back up, waking him up from his hungry stupor. “What—?”

You reiterate, voice determined. “If I let you drink from me can you get your strength back and get rid of the little fuckers?”

“Y/N, I can't let you do that.”

“I know what happens if you don't feed and judging by how the goblins are devouring your entire house like some frat, they aren't leaving soon enough.” You ball his shirt in your hands for emphasis. “I'm letting you drink, just this one time so we could all go home.”

“Are you really sure?”

“Just don't turn me into your spawn, deal?”

Hobie cracks a smile, fangs glinting off the basement lights. You suddenly feel your nerves kicking in.

“I promise I won't. Just tell me if it gets too much, yeah?”

“Okay,” you inhale deeply, tugging down the collar of your shirt, showing him what he needs. “Don't drink me dry.”

“That depends, for all I know you taste brilliantly.” His joke alleviates your fear a little. You're both unaware of the cameras watching, recording everything. Even forgetting that they were there in the first place.

His hand is on the back of your neck, the other is gripping on to your arm like his life depends on it. Eyeing your skin, lips brushing along it, fangs barely piercing, he gives you enough time to lean away.

“Hurry on with it, I need to pee.”

With a deep chuckle, he sinks his teeth in you.

Gasping, you bite down on your bottom lip, stifling any sounds. But Hobie can hear them from your chest, feel how your body quivers with every suck and nip from his teeth.

You whimper and he holds on to you tighter.

He wants to devour you whole, his instincts tell him to ravage you until you're dry and limp in his arms— to rip you apart with his bare teeth. But he doesn't, he's careful and gentle like he's drinking nectar straight from a flower.

“F-fuck…” you let out, hands shaking, sliding down to the back of his neck, pressing him closer.

He turns warmer with your crimson flowing through him, not letting a single drop of the precious liquid dribble from his mouth.

Hobie feels like his dead heart beats once again after centuries.

Eyes closed, you feel like you're on cloud nine. You look like it too, eyes hazy, lips parted, hand holding on to him weakly.

Before he could drown in you, Hobie carefully eases his teeth out from your pierced skin, maw covered in your blood, thumb pressing down to your wounds to stop the bleeding.

It will scar, but you're alright with that thought.

He feels anew. His eyes are sharper, adrenaline coursing through him like your blood in his system. His ears perked at every breath you let out. Eyes blown up like the size of dinner plates, his warm breath fans your cheeks.

Half of him regrets doing it, now that he has gotten a taste, he can't go back to biting random rich assholes. His other half delights in your after taste, so sweet and nectarine that makes him crave more.

You crane your neck slowly like molasses to look at him sweetly through your half lidded eyes, and a soft yet tired smile on your lips. Still clinging into euphoria, vision swirling and heart beating a thousand times per second. You feel like you've ascended and you'll never go down from it.

Licking his teeth, Hobie resists the urge to dive back in. But he's more than that, you're more than a blood bag.

“You alright?” He whispers, he smells like you.

You hum, smiling giddily like a child who just got what she wanted.

“‘m gonna go and kill some goblins now. Stay here for me?”

You hum a tune that sounds like a rendition of ‘happy birthday.’ Giggling, you pat his cheek.

“Yeah, you'll be alright. I'll get you some orange juice after this.”

“Orange sounds nice… such a pretty color. And cookies, yum.” You chortle like you just heard the best joke. “Oh handsome, so handsome. I'm gonna bite you back one day.” Staring up at him, your eyes roll back, falling unconscious.

“Lookin' forward to it.”

Hobie gently lays you down on the floor, standing up, ears listening to your fast heart beat, but it's not enough proof for him. Eyes observing your chest, watching it go up and down, making sure he didn't go too far. Satisfied, he points at the crew cowering in the corner, their cameras still rolling. The documentary won't air anywhere at this rate.

“Watch her.” He says sternly, eyes glaring.

They all nod frantically.

With a swift kick to the metal door, he strikes down every goblin he sees.

—

You sit on the same patchwork armchair, sipping on a warm cup of tea, comfortable and content in your seat. The two pin prick scars on your neck peeks under your collar. The camera has you in the spotlight, zoomed in on your freshly washed face.

“Do you know about the curse?” The man behind the camera asks, his voice wavering with every word like it's taboo to mention it.

“What curse?” You watch as their faces morph into panic. “I'm fucking with you,” you laugh at their expense.

“Of course I know about it. Why do you think I hunt him down? For fun? Well, partly because of it but we broke that curse like five generations ago when my ancestor figured it all out and made friends with the witch.”

Smiling fondly, you continue. “She's my godmother now. Don't tell him.” You warn. “Hunting him down is an initiation for us really, a tradition to try and kill him, just really doing our best to cause damage. He's pretty powerful.”

Laying your elbows on your knees, you look directly at the camera.

“I mean you've seen the room right? He's fucking obsessed, someone has to off him or just—I honestly think he should just move on.” shrugging you sip your tea that he made for you.

“Is that why you're living with him?” They ask unabashedly. The camera zooms out, showing you still in your pajamas, complete with fluffy slippers.

“Uh—”

Hobie appears in the corner, leaning on the doorway casually, a similar pajama pants hanging low on his hips.

“Darling, have you seen my good jumper—?”

You take your crossbow from under the chair, twisting in your seat, you aim it at his head, shooting, the arrow whizzes past him, he ducks down as the arrow imbeds into the oak.

Hobie laughs on the floor, lifting up a black and red jumper. “Found it!”

“Goddamnit.” The word is laced with endearment. You turn back towards the crew, eyes narrowed at them. “Wait, why are you guys here so early?”

Hate/Sex chapter 1

here is the latest fic in my Living Dead Boy series. (the series where Louis turns Daniel into a vampire inn 1973)

Dubai

June 2022

Armand likes to watch.  Watching Daniel and Louis together is his favorite thing of all, the two people he most adores, together.  And he does love them both.  

Even if Daniel is far from him now, mentally, at least.  He’s built an emotional wall since their last break-up, and Armand is beginning to fear that he meant it this time when he said things were over for good. He says it so often it’s hard to believe.  

Daniel moans as Louis drives into him, legs hitched high around his waist.  His nails are biting into Louis’ back, leaving little trails of blood behind.  Armand imagines licking them off Louis.  He could sink inside of Louis while Louis fucked Daniel.  He sends the image into Louis’ head and Louis moans.  

Daniel’s mind is closed off to him, as it has been these last few months.  He’s closed off everything to Armand; he won’t let him back into his bed, he won’t share his blood, he blocks his mind.  It might be enough to drive a less persistent man away.  But Armand knows Daniel; knows he wants to be chased.

Daniel wants to surrender, he just needs to put up a fight first.  He does have that stubborn pride.  He and Louis share that fault; it makes things tiring, sometimes.  

Daniel looks over to him and rakes his nails down Louis’ back.  “Right there, Louis, baby, you’re so good.”

It is an exquisite form of torture to watch Daniel like this and not be able to touch.  It’s the whole reason Daniel allows it, out of petty spite.  He likes the idea of Armand wanting and not having.  His boy can be cruel.  

Daniel tosses back his head, brown curls spilling backwards.  He’s so beautiful.  Louis kisses up his neck and Daniel whines.  He always did like a pair of teeth in his throat, his Daniel.  Louis sinks in his fangs and Daniel makes eye contact with Armand.  As if to taunt him that he isn’t the one who gets to take and taste him.  

Armand doesn’t let it anger him; it will just be all the sweeter when they do come back together after all this time apart.  

Armand watches them fuck, then Louis crawls over on his knees and takes him into his mouth.  And Armand lets himself get swept away in sensation, and he doesn’t think of Daniel at all.

Until that morning, when he comes up with a plan.  At his age, he wakes before the sun sets and can stay up past when it rises.  Louis likes to sleep in, and Armand indulges him.  Daniel is still young enough in the blood that he rises and sleeps with the sunset and sunrise.  

Armand sends Daniel dreams, dreams woven from memory.  Erotic dreams of them moving desperately together, joined body and blood.  He sends this when Daniel is too deeply asleep to awaken, so he has no choice but to experience them.  

It’s barely after sunset when the door to his room is flung open and Daniel comes storming in.  “You bastard.  You sonuvabitch.  What gives you the right-”

He’s reached the bed by this point, clad in only his boxers and a tee shirt Armand is quite sure belongs to him. There’s an erection tenting his boxers, a wet spot gathered and staining the fabric.  Armand grabs him and kisses him before he can continue.  

Daniel’s mouth opens under his and he kisses him frantically.  He yanks back and glares at Armand.  “This isn’t getting back together sex.  This is angry sex.  Hate sex.”

It’s fine if Daniel needs to believe that.  By the time Armand is finished with him, he’ll be his again.

Inside "World's Most Ultra-Luxury Resort", At $100,000 A Night

This isn't a hotel where guests hide away in their rooms. Instead, they put on their trendiest beachwear, take selfies in front of the Bellagio-style fountains, go shopping in the Valentino boutique or book a cabana at one of several outdoor lounges.

From the moment you step through the front entrance, Atlantis the Royal puts on a show. Water pours down inside glass walls, while fire periodically flashes up. The pressure to post to Instagram is immediate, because you've arrived at the self-titled "most ultraluxury" resort in the world.

This isn't the world, though. It's Dubai, where "ultraluxury" has a specific meaning and nouveau riche aesthetics are giddily embraced. Wealth like this was made to flaunt, not accrue silently in savings accounts. Ultraluxury is over-the-top, clad with gold and marble.

That's what the $1.2 billion Atlantis the Royal, the latest property from Dubai-based hotelier Kerzner International Ltd., delivered with a "Grand Reveal" show in January starring Beyonce: And it's what guests have experienced since its 795 rooms opened in mid-February.

The journey of opulence begins in the hotel lobby, where the unifying theme of water (Atlantis, remember?) is hammered home with a towering aquatic sculpture and pool cutouts in the floor into which guests occasionally tumble. Check-in occurs at unmarked golden counters, which require constant buffing with microfiber towels to remove dreadful indicators of human presence such as fingerprints.

Company officials initially garnered headlines by saying the top-level suite, the Royal Mansion, would cost $100,000 a night. Now a spokeswoman is demure about the price, saying it's available upon request. And in February, Louis Vuitton booked the room for a private shopping event, so I couldn't visit. Instead, I was shown the Panoramic Penthouse, which took my breath away-starting at 135,260 dirhams ($36,825), plus 22% in taxes, it had better. Shampoos and other amenities in rooms come from Hermès, Frette and Graff. On one side of the hotel, guests have an unobstructed view of the blue-green Persian Gulf. The other side looks out over the fronds of the man-made Palm Jumeirah archipelago and the mansions of billionaires and royalty.

I stayed in a Seascape King, one of the basic rooms, but I use the term lightly. The studio starts at about 4,135 dirhams a night in high season. It's large enough for a king-size bed, lounger and desk, and spacious closets. The furniture is comfortable, and amenities in the grand bathrooms include golden toothbrushes, combs, a back scrubber, flip-flops and a beach bag, all of which can be taken home without charge.

For a resort promising that "something incredible happens at every moment of your stay," the basic rooms lack a wow factor. They're beautiful, sure, and the views are phenomenal. I was excited to see a high-tech Toto brand bidet toilet with a heated seat, though that made me wish the bathroom floors were heated, too. (Clearly, I'm getting spoiled.)

But this isn't a hotel where guests hide away in their rooms. Instead, they put on their trendiest beachwear, take selfies in front of the Bellagio-style fountains, go shopping in the Valentino boutique or book a cabana at one of several outdoor lounges. At Nobu by the Beach, for an extra 10,000 dirhams, you and nine friends have access to a living room, a private changing area and shower, and a small private pool. The rate includes two bottles of Champagne and some nibbles.

First, however, you might want to get a Botox top-up, ozone dialysis or stem cell therapy at the on-site Aeon Clinic for "regenerative wellness." Or head up to the true showstopper: the Cloud 22 lounge, an open-air space on the 22nd floor with thumping club music and a strong wind. An infinity pool with a double ledge is all that separates you from the resort below. Here, too, you can book cabanas for an extra fee and get your own plunge pool, which the resort doesn't count as one of 90 total pools on the property, including 44 in private suites.

The stunning Awaken spa has gender-segregated relaxation rooms, but six hammams, or Turkish baths, have yet to open. The meditation with dolphins program is also pending.

The room rate includes access to Aquaventure, the water park next door billed as the world's largest. My 3-year-old daughter had a blast in the toddler splash areas, and if we had more time I would have braved the slides with 360-degree loops and dark tunnels. With day passes starting at 315 dirhams for adults, this certainly adds to the value you get for your room.

At the hotel, each of the seven celebrity chef-helmed restaurants has a unique vibe and design, but the level of service is celestial across the board. When we ate lunch at Jaleo by Jose Andre (get the rossejat, a paella-style pasta), four different people asked if we wanted a highchair for our daughter. At the breakfast buffet, out of nowhere she got a hankering for tofu, and the kitchen happily provided a plateful. Meanwhile, I hadn't finished my latte before my cup was taken away and replaced with a new one-twice.

This is where Atlantis the Royal earns its name and its ultraluxury reputation. Every few feet as you walk the grounds, a security guard, concierge, lifeguard or cleaner places their right hand on their heart, bows forward and says hello. All properties run by Kerzner have adopted this apparent Covid-era gesture, but it certainly made me feel like a queen.

How the UAE is Leading the Way with Innovative Building Materials

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is known for its architectural wonders, with a skyline dominated by soaring skyscrapers, ultra-modern homes, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. The country’s rapid urban development has been supported by the integration of cutting-edge construction materials. From concrete innovations to the use of sustainable and energy-efficient materials, the UAE is setting the pace for modern architecture and construction. In this blog, we will explore how the UAE is leading the way with innovative building materials, with a special focus on construction materials used in Dubai, Al Quoz, and the broader region.

The Role of Construction Materials in Dubai’s Growth

Dubai is a city renowned for its bold and groundbreaking architectural projects. As the city grows vertically and horizontally, construction materials play a pivotal role in its development. Builders in Dubai rely on the latest innovations to not only create visually striking structures but also to ensure durability, energy efficiency, and sustainability. For instance, high-performance concrete is frequently used in large-scale projects to withstand the region's extreme weather conditions. Moreover, construction materials in Dubai emphasize materials that reduce energy consumption, a key factor in a city that experiences intense heat for much of the year.

In addition to conventional materials like concrete and steel, the UAE has seen a rise in the adoption of advanced building technologies, such as smart glass and eco-friendly insulation. The result is a highly adaptable construction industry that can meet the growing demand for modern, sustainable urban spaces.

Building Materials in Al Quoz: A Hub for Construction Innovation

Al Quoz, an industrial area in Dubai, has long been a central location for sourcing building materials. Over time, this district has become a hotspot for innovative construction materials, serving as a gateway for developers to access cutting-edge products that shape Dubai’s evolving architectural landscape.

Al Quoz's position as a logistics and industrial hub makes it an ideal location for the distribution of construction materials, including materials for both residential and commercial projects. Many innovative building materials Dubai al quoz, from eco-friendly insulation to advanced wall cladding systems, are readily available here, allowing contractors to easily source what they need for large-scale projects. Moreover, Al Quoz’s growing design and architecture sector has spurred an increased demand for high-quality materials, encouraging the development of specialized materials that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Ceramic Tiles for Walls: Timeless and Sustainable

Ceramic tiles have long been a popular choice for wall applications in the UAE, particularly in high-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens. However, their use is expanding beyond traditional applications, as architects and designers explore new possibilities. Ceramic tiles are not only durable and water-resistant, making them ideal for wet areas, but they also come in a wide variety of designs, colors, and finishes. This flexibility allows for the creation of beautiful and functional spaces, whether in luxury homes, commercial buildings, or public spaces.

In the extreme climate, ceramic tiles in UAE are prized for their ability to withstand heat and humidity. They are also low-maintenance, an essential factor in a region where cleanliness and aesthetics are paramount. Additionally, ceramic tiles are a sustainable choice, as they can be made from natural materials and are fully recyclable. This aligns well with the UAE's focus on sustainable development and reducing the environmental impact of its building industry.

Architects are now increasingly using ceramic tiles for not only floors but also for feature walls, backsplashes, and even external facades. This trend is evident in many of Dubai's upscale residential buildings, where ceramic tiles are integrated into design schemes to enhance the building's aesthetic appeal while providing a sustainable and low-maintenance solution.

Outdoor Tiles for Walls: Combining Durability with Style

Outdoor tile for walls is becoming increasingly popular in the UAE, where the outdoor living space is as important as the interior. Whether for gardens, balconies, or exterior facades, outdoor tiles offer a durable and attractive option for enhancing exterior walls. These tiles are designed to withstand the UAE’s harsh weather conditions, including intense heat, dust, and moisture. They are made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone, which are not only weather-resistant but also stylish and customizable.

Outdoor tiles are often used to create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, adding a touch of elegance to terraces, garden walls, and courtyards. Porcelain tiles, in particular, are a top choice for outdoor wall cladding due to their non-porous nature, making them resistant to water absorption and stains. These tiles also come in a wide range of textures, colors, and patterns, allowing homeowners and designers to create personalized outdoor environments that reflect their tastes.

The durability and low maintenance requirements of outdoor tiles make them a smart choice for the UAE’s climate. They can endure extreme heat and are resistant to fading, ensuring that exterior walls maintain their aesthetic appeal for years to come.

Building Materials in the UAE: A Move Towards Sustainability

In the UAE, there is an increasing emphasis on sustainability in construction. The government has set ambitious goals to reduce carbon emissions and promote green building practices. This shift towards eco-friendly materials is evident in the growing popularity of sustainable construction materials such as recycled steel, eco-friendly concrete, and energy-efficient glass.

Sustainable building materials in Uae are especially important in rapidly expanding cities, where environmental impact is a major concern. Many new developments in Dubai are incorporating green roofs, solar panels, and energy-efficient insulation materials that reduce energy consumption. These initiatives are designed to meet the demands of modern urban living while reducing the carbon footprint of the construction industry.

Furthermore, the UAE is embracing innovative materials that contribute to building performance and energy efficiency. For example, smart glass is becoming a popular choice for building facades, as it adjusts its tint to block out heat and reduce cooling costs. This is especially valuable in a country like the UAE, where cooling systems account for a significant portion of energy consumption in buildings.

The UAE is truly at the forefront of adopting innovative building materials that meet the challenges posed by its unique climate and urban landscape. From advanced concrete and steel technologies to sustainable materials like ceramic and outdoor tiles, the UAE’s construction industry is leveraging cutting-edge solutions to create structures that are not only beautiful but also durable and energy-efficient.

As Dubai and the wider UAE continue to grow, the use of these materials will only expand, supporting the development of smart, sustainable, and resilient buildings. The UAE’s commitment to innovation in building materials is helping to shape the future of construction, setting a global standard for urban development in the 21st century.

Enhance Your Kitchen's Aesthetic Appeal with Interior Wall Cladding in Dubai

When it comes to creating a stylish and functional kitchen, the design of the walls plays a significant role. The layout of the walls is important when it comes to designing a fashionable and practical kitchen. Even though there are many possibilities for kitchen wall finishes, interior wall cladding has become a well-liked option in Dubai. Kitchen interior wall cladding is revolutionizing the way we think about design for kitchens because of its adaptability, toughness, and hygienic qualities. We will discuss the advantages of kitchen interior wall cladding in Dubai in this blog post, as well as why Absolute Hygiene is the go-to option for creating a seamless, visually beautiful kitchen space.

Enhance Your Kitchen's Style:

Absolute Hygiene provides a variety of design alternatives that can enhance your kitchen's overall appearance. Interior cladding enables you to obtain the desired style, whether you choose a modern, minimalist appearance or a more traditional and rustic feel. You may personalize the cladding to match your preferences and create a visually attractive kitchen environment by choosing from a variety of clean and contemporary finishes as well as textured and patterned surfaces.

Durability and Longevity:

Due to the significant humidity and temperature swings that Dubai's kitchens encounter, it is crucial to select wall cladding materials that can survive such conditions. Because of its renowned lifespan and toughness, interior wall cladding is a great option for Dubai's harsh climate. Kitchen cladding can withstand moisture, heat, and wear using materials like PVC, acrylic, or stainless steel, keeping your kitchen walls in excellent shape for years to come.

Easy Maintenance and Hygiene:

Maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen is crucial for every homeowner. Kitchen interior wall cladding is designed to promote hygiene and simplify maintenance. Its smooth and non-porous surface prevents the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, reducing the risk of contamination. Moreover, cladding materials are easy to clean, requiring only a simple wipe-down with a mild detergent or disinfectant. This feature makes kitchen cladding an excellent choice for busy households or commercial kitchens that require frequent cleaning.

Protection against Stains and Spills:

Cooking can sometimes result in accidental spills, stains, and splatters on the kitchen walls. Interior wall cladding acts as a protective barrier, preventing stains from seeping into the walls and making cleaning a breeze. With cladding installed, you can say goodbye to the hassle of scrubbing stubborn stains off your walls.

Customizable and Quick Installation:

Absolute Hygiene specializes in providing tailored kitchen interior wall cladding solutions. Their team of experts can assist you in selecting the right materials, colors, and finishes that align with your design preferences. Additionally, their efficient installation process ensures minimal disruption to your daily routine, allowing you to enjoy your newly transformed kitchen in no time.

Additionally, it possesses the superpowers to withstand the damaging effects of sand, salt spray, and intense sunlight, copper facades and roofing systems endure for decades with minimal maintenance, reducing long-term costs for building owners.

Heat Resistant Qualities: Copper's exceptional thermal conductivity/power to withstand heat plays an essential role in energy efficiency. When the temperature in Dubai gets piping hot, copper roofing and walls help to transfer heat away from the structure's interior, reducing the dependencies on AC and on the other hand lowering energy consumption.

Ability to make your rooms brighter: Alongside durability and resistance to heat, copper has a hidden talent for lighting up the area with its reflective surface. It aids natural lighting and additionally reduces your need for additional light sources. It is most practical to invest in copper structures where natural light is limited, allowing you to create a well-lit and inviting atmosphere.

Perfect partnership for Damp places: Copper as a metal has Antifungal Properties making it a perfect fit for damp areas like bathrooms and basements. This exceptional quality makes it a beneficial choice for areas prone to moisture. This additionally improves the hygiene of these spaces, contributing to a healthier living environment. 

Enhances sound quality in the room: Copper is known for its acoustic properties, making it a fantastic choice for amplifying the sound quality in certain areas of your home/structure. For instance, copper tiles and panels can help improve the sound quality in a home theatre or music room by reducing unwanted echoes.

Copper - Beauty that gets beautiful with age: The only time you will be able to look down in Dubai is when you stand on the 124th or 125th floor of the Burj Khalifa. Or else, you are surrounded by elegant towers and beautiful tall structures that always make you look up. Copper's warm touch adds a unique blend of sophistication and strength to any modern architectural design. Over time, copper as a metal ages gracefully, complementing the modernisation of the Middle East.

Marble Polishing in Dubai and Clean Water Tank Services for a Healthier Environment

Introduction

The Importance of Marble Polishing Services in Dubai

Dubai is home to some of the most exquisite marble installations in the world. From grand hotels to luxurious residences, marble is a preferred choice for flooring, countertops, and other surfaces due to its elegance and durability. However, maintaining the beauty of marble requires regular upkeep, and that’s where marble polishing services come into play. Whether it’s in grand hotels, high-end shopping malls, or luxurious residences, marble is a preferred choice for several reasons:

Timeless Elegance: Marble adds a touch of classic beauty to any space, creating a sense of grandeur and sophistication. Its natural veining and unique patterns make every piece of marble distinct, contributing to the exclusivity of the interiors.

Durability: Beyond its beauty, marble is also known for its durability. When properly maintained, marble surfaces can last for decades, making it a long-term investment for property owners in Dubai.

Versatility: Marble is not just limited to flooring. It is widely used for countertops, wall cladding, staircases, and even decorative elements. Its versatility allows designers to incorporate it into various aspects of a building’s architecture and interior design.

Marble polishing services in Dubai are essential for preserving the natural shine and durability of marble surfaces. Over time, marble can lose its luster due to foot traffic, spills, and exposure to the elements. Marble polishing Dubai experts use specialized techniques and equipment to restore the original shine, remove scratches, and protect the surface from future damage. Accidental spills, especially from acidic substances like wine, coffee, or citrus juices, can etch and stain marble surfaces, diminishing their appearance.

Choosing the Right Marble Polishing Service

When it comes to maintaining your marble surfaces, it’s important to choose a trusted marble polishing service. The best companies offer comprehensive marble polishing service that include cleaning, honing, and sealing. These services not only restore the shine of your marble but also enhance its longevity. A thorough cleaning is the first step in any marble polishing process. This involves removing dirt, grime, and stains that can accumulate on the surface. High-quality marble polishing services use specialized cleaning solutions that are safe for marble, ensuring that the surface is properly prepared for the next steps.

A reputable marble polishing company in Dubai will use advanced techniques and eco-friendly products to ensure that your marble surfaces are polished to perfection without causing any harm to the environment. They understand the unique properties of marble and tailor their services to meet the specific needs of each client. By combining these advanced methods and environmentally conscious practices, a reputable marble polishing company in Dubai delivers exceptional results that not only enhance the beauty of your marble surfaces but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable environment.

The Role of Façade Cleaning Services

In a city like Dubai, where skyscrapers dominate the skyline, the exterior appearance of buildings is just as important as the interiors. Building facade cleaning services ensure that the exterior of your building remains spotless and free from dirt, grime, and pollutants that can accumulate over time. Regular facade cleaning services help maintain the visual appeal of your building, ensuring that it looks as impressive as the day it was completed. Clean facades contribute to a positive image, especially in commercial spaces where first impressions matter.

Facade cleaning services are crucial for maintaining the appearance and integrity of your building. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of harmful substances that can cause damage to the facade materials. In Dubai’s harsh climate, where dust and sand are prevalent, facade cleaning services in Dubai are an indispensable part of building maintenance. Here’s why regular facade cleaning services are so important:

Prevention of Damage: Regular cleaning removes dirt, grime, and pollutants that can cause corrosion and wear on facade materials, such as metal, glass, and stone. This helps to extend the lifespan of your building’s exterior and prevents costly repairs.

Enhancement of Aesthetic Appeal: A clean facade enhances the overall appearance of your building, making it more attractive to visitors, clients, and tenants. In a city like Dubai, where architecture is often a symbol of prestige, maintaining a spotless exterior is crucial.

Protection Against Harsh Climate: Dubai’s climate is characterized by high temperatures, strong winds, and frequent sandstorms. These conditions can lead to the accumulation of dust and sand on building facades, which can be abrasive and cause surface damage. Facade cleaning services in Dubai help mitigate these effects, preserving the appearance and quality of the building.

Compliance with Regulations: In some cases, regular facade cleaning is required to comply with local regulations and building codes. This is especially important for commercial properties, where neglecting maintenance can lead to penalties or fines.

Improvement of Indoor Environment: A well-maintained facade contributes to a better indoor environment by reducing the ingress of dust and pollutants. This is particularly important for buildings with sensitive equipment or where indoor air quality is a concern.

Increased Property Value: A clean and well-maintained facade can significantly boost the value of a property. Potential buyers or tenants are more likely to be impressed by a building that looks well-cared for and aesthetically pleasing.

Combining Façade and Building Cleaning Services

Many companies in Dubai offer façade and building cleaning services as a comprehensive package. This ensures that both the interior and exterior of your building are maintained to the highest standards. These services include not only facade cleaning services but also window cleaning, pressure washing, and other specialized cleaning techniques.

By combining marble polishing services with façade and building cleaning services, you can ensure that your property looks immaculate from the inside out. This holistic approach to building maintenance is particularly important in commercial settings, where first impressions matter.

Enhancing Indoor Air Quality with Duct Cleaning

The best AC duct cleaning services in Dubai use advanced techniques to clean your ducts thoroughly. This not only improves air quality but also enhances the efficiency of your air conditioning system, leading to lower energy bills and a longer lifespan for your equipment. Clean ducts allow for more consistent airflow, ensuring that every room in your home or office receives even cooling. This helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment year-round.

The Importance of Clean Water Tank Services

In addition to air quality, water quality is another crucial factor in maintaining a healthy environment. Clean water tank services are essential for ensuring that the water you use for drinking, cooking, and cleaning is free from contaminants. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your water tanks can prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms. This is crucial for avoiding waterborne diseases and ensuring that the water used for drinking, cooking, and cleaning is safe and healthy.

Professional water tank cleaning services in Dubai use specialized equipment and techniques to clean and disinfect your water tanks. This prevents the growth of bacteria, algae, and other harmful microorganisms that can thrive in dirty water tanks. Regular commercial water tank cleaning services are especially important for businesses that rely on large volumes of water, such as hotels, restaurants, and industrial facilities.

Commercial Water Tank Cleaning

For businesses in Dubai, commercial water tank cleaning is not just a matter of hygiene; it’s also a regulatory requirement. Commercial water tank cleaning services ensure that your water tanks are compliant with local health and safety regulations. This is particularly important in industries where water quality is directly linked to product safety and quality. Here’s why commercial water tank cleaning is so important:

Regulatory Compliance: Dubai’s health and safety regulations mandate regular cleaning and maintenance of water tanks. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and legal repercussions. Adhering to these regulations helps businesses avoid penalties and ensures they meet local standards.

Ensuring Water Quality: In industries where water quality is directly linked to product safety, such as in food and beverage production or healthcare facilities, maintaining clean water tanks is essential. Contaminated water can compromise product quality and safety, leading to costly recalls or health risks.

Preventing Contamination: Regular commercial water tank cleaning services help prevent the buildup of contaminants such as algae, bacteria, and sediment. These contaminants can not only affect the taste and quality of water but also pose serious health risks to employees and customers.

Extending Tank Lifespan: Routine cleaning and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of water tanks. By removing debris and sediment, businesses can avoid premature wear and tear on their water storage systems, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

Improving Efficiency: Clean water tanks contribute to the efficient operation of water systems. By ensuring that tanks are free from obstructions and contaminants, businesses can improve water flow and reduce energy costs associated with pumping and filtration.

Meeting Industry Standards: For businesses in sectors with stringent industry standards, such as pharmaceuticals or food processing, commercial water tank cleaning is a crucial part of maintaining certification and accreditation. Regular cleaning helps meet these industry-specific requirements and demonstrates a commitment to quality and safety.

The Synergy of Marble Polishing and Water Tank Cleaning

While marble polishing services and clean water tank services may seem unrelated, they both contribute to the overall quality and safety of your environment. A clean and polished marble surface not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your space but also creates a hygienic environment by eliminating dust and allergens.Similarly, regular commercial water tank cleaning services ensure that the water you use is safe and clean, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases. Together, these services help create a healthier environment, whether in a residential or commercial setting.

Conclusion: Investing in Quality Services for a Healthier Environment

In Dubai, where luxury and health are top priorities, investing in quality marble polishing services and clean water tank services is essential. By choosing a reputable marble polishing company in Dubai and scheduling regular commercial water tank cleaning services, you can ensure that your environment is not only beautiful but also safe and healthy.

FAQs

1. Why is marble polishing important in Dubai?

Marble polishing is crucial in Dubai because the city is known for its luxurious architecture and elegant interiors. Marble surfaces, often found in grand hotels, high-end shopping malls, and upscale residences, require regular maintenance to preserve their natural beauty and durability. Over time, marble can lose its luster due to foot traffic, spills, and exposure to harsh cleaning agents or environmental factors.

2. How often should I get my marble surfaces polished?

The frequency of marble polishing largely depends on the specific conditions and usage of the area. In high-traffic areas, such as hotel lobbies, commercial spaces, or busy household kitchens, marble surfaces can become dull and scratched more quickly. For these areas, it’s recommended to schedule professional marble polishing every 6 to 12 months. In lower-traffic areas, such as private residences or areas with protective coverings, polishing can be done less frequently, perhaps every 18 to 24 months.

3. What should I look for when choosing a marble polishing service in Dubai?

When selecting a marble polishing service in Dubai, it’s important to consider several key factors. First, look for a company with extensive experience in handling different types of marble, as this ensures they understand the unique needs and characteristics of various marble surfaces. Positive customer reviews and testimonials can provide insight into the company’s reputation and quality of service. Additionally, the best marble polishing services in Dubai use advanced techniques and eco-friendly products that are safe for both the marble and the environment.

4. What are the benefits of professional marble floor polishing services?

Professional marble floor polishing services offer numerous benefits beyond just restoring the shine of your floors. The process involves grinding the surface with diamond abrasives, which not only polishes the marble but also removes any scratches, stains, or etches that have developed over time. This results in a smooth, reflective surface that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the space. Additionally, polished marble floors are easier to clean and maintain, as the smooth surface reduces the likelihood of dirt and grime adhering to the stone.
