Volterra

Today is the last day for taxes. What a pain!!! For most of us we will be getting a return. A great way to spend that money is too install fake wood beams into your home. Volterra’s faux wood beams add character and elegance to any room.

Tivoli Stone Classic is a limestone and cement based plaster. It has been used for many different finishes over the last 1 1/2 decades. This photo is the limestone plaster being applied in a pool to look like flagstone. How cool is that?

Tivoli Limestone Plaster was invented almost 2 decades ago. We have used the classic material for coating driveways, decks, counter tops, patios, stucco, drywall, pool plaster and many other surfaces. This picture is Tivoli Stone Classic plaster used in a shower – it is pretty cool being inside a seamless stone shower!!!

We are in the process of launching a complete line of flexible metal beam straps. The first wave of beam straps will be 6″ in width and have dual bolt heads on one side and the nut and bolt on the other side. These faux beam straps will be first available for 6″, 8″ and 10″ wide beams and in heights ranging from 4″-24″ – which is dozens of combinations. Stay tuned or call today for pricing.

One thing is certain – the real wood siding and facia board in this photo will have to be maintained every few years and eventually replaced - where as the faux wood corbles will only require a new coat of paint every couple of decades.

In my 19 years of manufacturing and distributing Stucco and EIFS I thought I had seen it all.  These pictures are taken from a school which has EIFS on it and the rocks that are embedded in it were used like “throwing stars”.  The EPS foam is 1″ thick and has high impact mesh ran 8′ up the wall and then standard 4 1/2″ oz mesh over the entire wall.  The rock did penetrate through the high impact stucco but the kids found it easier to stick them above that area.  This would have been a better job for the use of traditional stucco.
