A March Day by the Bay

What does this blog have to do with flexible stone veneers? Absolutely nothing… but as I sat at my desk today watching the Seguin River flow into Georgian Bay in Parry Sound’s Harbour, with July weather in March, I just couldn’t help sharing this short video with you.

We have the privilege of working in an office that is literally nestled beside the harbour and often enjoy the beauty of nature out our window. If your travels ever take you to this neck of woods be sure and drop by.

Condo Reno’s Simplified

Surface Innovation — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:00:14 +0000

I was involved with a condo reno recently helping the owners update their 60′s style condo with a new fresh contemporary look. The project was the addition of a fireplace feature and large screen TV to add warmth and ambiance to the living room. The owners had taken their flat living room wall and added a painted build-out to house the TV and a fire feature.

The addition of SlateFlex #400 Colour Mix in a large 35 x 94″ size applied horizontally gives a contemporary look while maintaining the earthy, textured look they were looking for. The unique feature of this flexible slate veneer is that 70 sq.ft of real stone was easily hand carried up the elevator and weighted only about 35lbs. The result… well the photos speak for themselves.

I had a chance to visit IDS 2012 this past weekend. I’m usually too busy manning the Surface Innovation booth, which we didn’t do this year…too busy and too many new projects underway. Lots of amazing products and ideas.

Surface Innovation was excited to introduce the revolutionary SlateFlex product to the Canadian market at the Interior Design Show in Toronto, January 2010. Response from Designers, Architects, manufacturers and even the general public was simply overwhelming!

Close to 1,000 visitors from across the country dropped by the booth – many literally speechless at the concept of a flexible slate veneer product. A number of attendees remarked it was the most innovative new product at the whole Show. As visitors realized it was real slate on a flexible sheet – their ideas for possible applications seemed endless!
