<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've been experiencing computer problems lately and it's taken some sorting out and we are having a complete new website built to update all the ranges we can now offer, so it's all been a little bit up in the air. However, mostly sorted now and just waiting for the website to go live.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is really a quick update on where we are now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have joined the AECB for a second year ( Association of Eco Conscious Building ), one of the biggest groups for all things eco in the house building world with a huge network behind it. There's a lot of effort these days being put into sustainable building, which as you know, has been our ethos for a good while now !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Do check it out for more eco good stuff !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another association that has picked up on our eco work is Blue Patch, which we have just become a member of after being checked out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blue Patch is best explained with a quote from Jane Langley herself, who is the founder of the organisation:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"When a business applies to become a member of Blue Patch, we check they’re a good match with our values:"</div>
<ul style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Products on Blue Patch are made in the British Isles</li>
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Food and ingredients are grown in the British Isles</li>
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When materials and ingredients are sourced internationally, businesses aim to work with ethical partners</li>
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Products and services are of good quality</li>
<li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Global Impact businesses based in the British Isles, support ethical working conditions, traditional artisans and local communities</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We think the paragraph above says it all and we firmly support any organisation that promotes their values and particularly sourcing from within our own country. We used to be proud of saying something was " British Made" and we should be again, we still have a lot to be proud of without looking to foreign shores.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, that's all for now and once I get my photos of our recent projects back onto my computer, we'll get upto date and show what we've been up to recently. There's a lot of good stuff going on at the moment in the world of Milestone !! And, hopefully very soon, I will have some new eco and recycled products to let you all know about.</span><br />

Do you know, you hit a colour once every few years where you might aswell take everything else out of your showroom and Denim is rapidly turning into one of those colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mentioning another Denim, the pics below are a Utility room that we've just installed in it, featuring the fantastic deal we are able to run at the moment on a Butler sink and spray head tap combo where you are getting the top quality tap virtually for nothing ?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a deal we've put together to satisfy the need in the market at the moment for owners with dogs wanting to have a place away from the main kitchen where you can wash hiking boots, wellies etc and not forgetting ...... wash your dog in comfort when they come back from a good walk blathered in mud !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who says denim isn't fashionable anymore, certainly not us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is turning out to be the superstar of 2018</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The big difference is that our denim doesn't "shrink to fit" ( Oblique reference ) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think "Levi's" ..... runs away giggling !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, when do you want yours ??</span><br />

It appears that the new "Coastal themed" Eco2 display in the front of our showroom really has captured your collective imagination.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Eco2 Denim Blue with the Eco Cosentino "White Diamond" worktops does seem to be another of those combinations you only create once in a while that really do very well.</span><br />

This is another of those "works in progress" which we seem to be doing a lot of lately where I'll need to update you once the worktops go on. Due to customer holidays, that might be a couple or 3 weeks before they are fitted.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The reason for the odd worktops is that we promised our customer a working kitchen by this weekend so offered to fit temporary worktop sections to enable them to use the kitchen in the interim period.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's not necessarily something we do normally but when you've got young kids to feed, clothes to wash and kitchen items scattered about the house, we've tried to enable them to put everything away, use the kitchen and get everything back to as close to normal as possible. </div>

You will notice the dishwasher has gone ( an "on site" eleventh hour decision by our customer ) and we were short of a cabinet to put in it's place ..... Oh poo ! <br />The answer, salvage any usable parts from the old sink base and end panels that enclosed the old dishwasher and create, from scratch, a cabinet that would take the new door we supplied. Once again, where there's a will, there's a way !<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
We are just waiting for the new quartz worktops to be fabricated to finish the project off and I will, of course, show you photos of it once completed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This shows you what's possible by refurbishing old kitchens. We do need to look hard at the old kitchen structure initially to make sure this sort of project is possible but when it's still serviceable, then anything is possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Those of you who know us also know that "anythings possible" is the guiding principle that we've always worked to. But that decision when working on old kitchen has to be tempered with common sense too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, as a reminder of where we began, don't forget that you can consider a refurbishment, it doesn't always need to mean that you rip out the old kitchen, at least we can genuinely offer you that choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And it saves waste and saves money, another of our guiding principles !</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've been beavering away recently on the "free water refill scheme" again and have now met a wonderful lady by the name of Anne Cuthbertson who has taken the bull by the horns and has set up a new facebook group to co-ordinate the scheme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Annes new group is called "Wharfedale Tackles Plastic". She and her team have managed to get Yorkshire Water on board, which is a great achievement and will help drive this forwards. Pop over and have a look at:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> https://www.facebook.com/WharfedaleTP. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">like the page and lend your support to this superb cause. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Already the water refill idea is catching on throughout Ilkley with many businesses signing up to enable you to refill your water bottle for free while walking round town. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our hope is that this will dramatically redude the plastic waste we see lying around our beautiful countryside and get this plastic into recycling where it belongs instead of littering the countryside and ending up choking our rivers and seas and killing wildlife.</span><br />

This scheme is nationwide and growing in strength, so wherever you are, you should be able to see where this facilty is available in your local area. Now, if you can't find outlets in your own town then it's about time someone, like Anne and the team, grasped this and launched your own scheme and became part of this revolution.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
With plastic waste, not just being a local but a global problem, together we can start to make a difference and joining with different groups and approaches, we are becoming able to put pressure on manufacturers and supermarkets to cut down a lot of this waste at source by simply saying a big fat NO ! to the ridiculous amount of stupid plastic packaging we see being used every day. </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">An Eco Elite kitchen this time in a painted English Ash where you can still see the grain pattern in the paint finish. The cabinets are again our bedrock cabinets from the Eco2 range in 75% recycled timber content 25% FSC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Painted in Farrow & Ball colour: Pointing 2003. This sits well on the cabinet colour of U104 Alabaster.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were contracted to supply and fit the furniture content of this kitchen and install it, the client supplying their own appliances and our old friends GlassEco were supplying and fitting the worktops. For Glasseco in the UK, check them out at: http://urbnrok.co.uk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, bearing in mind the quality of our eco ranges and the fact that this kitchen is from our premium range, Eco Elite,<b> <u>the kitchen content came out at just £5623.00 inc.vat.</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We feel this represents fantastic value for both genuine eco content and the quality of solid English hardwoods.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, for those of you who look at the Eco Elite range on our website and think you can't afford it ....THINK AGAIN ! .... Eco kitchens done the Milestone way are very affordable, we can't stress this enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Any way, enough of my rambling, here's the pictures of the kitchen so far. We will, of course, keep you posted with further pictures once the wonderful GlassEco have completed the worktops. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'll let the pictures do the talking !!</span><br />

Milestone ECO Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16228715358199296508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075822138960662051.post-85391064449574252462018-04-21T01:00:00.000-07:002018-04-21T01:00:44.378-07:00When we say it's Eco, we prove it !<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ey up my faithful blogworms, as we're going to be away installing one of our lovely eco kitchens down in deepest, darkest Cambridgeshire next week so I thought I 'd give you all a sneaky peek at the full extent of our Eco stable of kitchens that are currently for your delectation and delight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Talks with my web guy are in full swing and hopefully within the next few weeks these will form the content of our new website.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our range has over doubled in the last few years, hence the reason for a new approach to our web presence.The new site will be much more user friendly for I-pads, phones and desktop viewing and much more interactive for us to add stuff and you to comment on stuff and ask questions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The info you see below puts the kitchens pretty much in order of cost, lowest first, going up in price as you get lower down the page.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To prove to you that going Eco isn't as expensive as you think it is, here are a couple of comparator prices: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As mentioned in my last blog, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>An Eco2 500mm full height base unit complete is just £134.40 </u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and going up the scale to the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>Eco Elite Hardwood in English Ash, the same unit is only £191.08. </u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u><br /></u></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Both prices include vat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We feel these prices represent fantastic value for your green pound and will compete well against comparable products in the market at this time. Certification to prove the provenance of your kitchen accompanies every Eco kitchen we supply !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When we say it's Eco and sustainable, we mean it !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Looking after your planet. Jules.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Promised a catch up on this kitchen, it's now looking resplendant in its Eco Cosentino quartz tops in White Diamond. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This kitchen is in the Fjord Green which is the sister colour to our Denim Blue on display here at Milestone HQ.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While I'm on the subject and to give you an idea, Eco done properly does not need to be expensive, it's a myth put about by "none believers" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Using our Eco2 range, which these kitchens are from, a full height 500mm base unit complete is an extreme reasonable £134.40 inc.vat.</span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( and that's an 18mm rigid built cabinet with top quality Blum soft close hinges )</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put that up against "other companies" and see how we compare !!!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The huge advantage that the Eco Cosentino material gives us is the ability to create full height splashbacks as shown here in the quartz material. Typically with other types of quartz, these would normally be in 20mm thick which makes then seriously heavy but using Cosentino enables us to make splashbacks and upstands in the much slimmer 11mm. A cleaner, slimmer profile and a lot less weight. </span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The worktops are just as happy in 20mm or 30mm thick, we used 30mm here (being the more normal thickness ) and all the upstands and window cills are in 11mm. It just looks so much sleeker and less weighty creating a more modern look.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">And, as those of you who know us, we don't say it's Eco unless we can prove it ( unlike other companies !! ) so this pic shows the provenance of the Eco Cosentino material.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
Every now and then in this industry you get a "look" or a "style" that captures the zeitgeist of the time and this appears to be one just such occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since we put the Cosentino White Diamond on a display here at HQ, it really has captured peoples imagination.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBMI4mQzo55bkIQu-tKJozxmMAAWqpbU1pO3LODu5z69h9UuWWr4ZNEcmRcv-CqVDXPjfj0ePNHtlMxx3ssHo3QN2yEZUwKx6icsTPyA2vlIirb_ltNR_nY_4oe4yrbO4un92Nqs1Oc-cE/s1600/DSC_0002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBMI4mQzo55bkIQu-tKJozxmMAAWqpbU1pO3LODu5z69h9UuWWr4ZNEcmRcv-CqVDXPjfj0ePNHtlMxx3ssHo3QN2yEZUwKx6icsTPyA2vlIirb_ltNR_nY_4oe4yrbO4un92Nqs1Oc-cE/s320/DSC_0002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
The Denim Blue / Fjord Green colours combined with the White Diamond tops are rapidly establishing themselves as our best sellers. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whether it's the coastal style or the clean, bright lines, we don't know but we have conpleted 4 kitchens with this look and have 3 more booked in so far going forwards. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Usually kitchens, as we people, tend to be a mix of varieties but trends do develop and long may this one continue as we love it !!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have the Eco Cosentino in 4 colours, another one is the Riverbed, shown below, this time in a mix of 30mm tops and 20mm upstands / window cill. This range of material really is a winner from our viewpoint.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After this blog you may want to look at my blog of 11 Jan 2014 ( Bespoke by definition ) that explains more about how we use cabinet design to it's best advantage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weeks kitchen over doubles the amount of storage in the same space and provides nearly double the amount of worktop, the blog mentioned above explains how !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to do what I seem to do a lot these days and let the pictures tell the story. We have the kitchen 'worktop ready' now and are just waiting now for the quartz tops to be fabricated, so this is really a 'story so far' post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This kitchen is in one of our new colours for this year "Fjord Green" with Eco Cosentino White Diamond quartz worktops.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, I was rushed into hospital with Diverticulitis but the wonderful staff on the NHS looked after me superbly and I survived, all credit to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Secondly, we've been working down in Dover on a superb new Eco project which I'll tell you all about in a minute. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've gone totally handleless with a new system to us and it can be created using all our current stable of Eco2 materials, happy days !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bit of a learning curve on this one but we sorted it and results and comments have been more than complimentary, feeling pleased.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are making this type of kitchen an addition to our stable and hoping to use gloss colours aswell to cover thecurrent trends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

But which one ?<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Happy New Year to all my faithful blogworms, I'm afraid I've not been blogging much lately as I've been under the influence of this nasty bug that's going around since before Xmas, it's put me in bed for the best part of 3 weeks !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, back up and running now and busy, busy, busy !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We've been having a resurgence in interest lately on hardwood floors as part of kitchen projects so I just thought that a few pointers based on our experience may be useful if you're thinking about this type of flooring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeGPE3IBfiSQJittKiN13s1V8FIEM4x9oH-rAGvB2klo41KeVYLlQPXyTYdXSVVqiQWKjm25OzuLoi0urke8qmpO5QPwI_vsT1NKeHw-Xv60OY3qwWr0abT2OwFQdMJvNKS6ec1tHCOCX/s1600/havwoods+oak.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="182" data-original-width="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeGPE3IBfiSQJittKiN13s1V8FIEM4x9oH-rAGvB2klo41KeVYLlQPXyTYdXSVVqiQWKjm25OzuLoi0urke8qmpO5QPwI_vsT1NKeHw-Xv60OY3qwWr0abT2OwFQdMJvNKS6ec1tHCOCX/s1600/havwoods+oak.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Essentially there are 2 types of hardwood floors: Solid or Engineered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Solid is self explanitory in various thicknesses and timbers, Engineered is a thickness of the hardwood of your choice bonded to a ply sub base.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you look at your choices you need to think about where in your home it's going. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8VbIL7jWvuCrFv_hl5oZXMDUryAqSg0IZtTZ35HDCQ1CVteZaGUGEmsHvfwrKWzSDHwYe_41UZ1NTfVuBFUmPdi2FLk2jECfe2U2CZ5RUVnbC8DTmNOeXXAx-lHNEfXlDQGTDJ60KiLi/s1600/havwoods+parquet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="182" data-original-width="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8VbIL7jWvuCrFv_hl5oZXMDUryAqSg0IZtTZ35HDCQ1CVteZaGUGEmsHvfwrKWzSDHwYe_41UZ1NTfVuBFUmPdi2FLk2jECfe2U2CZ5RUVnbC8DTmNOeXXAx-lHNEfXlDQGTDJ60KiLi/s1600/havwoods+parquet.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Solid is the most popular choice but there are areas in your home classed as "hostile environments" for solid wood due to conditions in the room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example: Solid is happy in a kitchen, bedroom, lounge or dining room where a bathroom, conservatory or any other area subject to large differences in heat or humidity are better suited to an engineered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These distinctions are based on expansion and contraction of the timber. Solid will move a little seasonally due to minor changes in temperature and humidity where engineered, because it's bonded to a ply backing moves hardly at all. A conservatory, for example, can be subject to being really cold in the winter and very hot in the summer, this adversely affects solid timber as the movement can be really quite dramatic. This is classed as a hostile environment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can see now how your choice of flooring has to be made carefully to ensure long term success of your floors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another, we feel, very important factor, is whether or not to buy what is classed as "prefinished". This is typically sprayed with several coats of a very hard lacquer and is shiny in appearance when you buy it. This is typically a product we avoid like the plague!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are laying your floor and only intend staying in your current home a few more years before moving then prefinished may well be ok when you come to sell but if you are staying longer term then re-finishing of your floors may need to be considered !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Re-finishing a pre lacquered floor is an absolute nightmare as you have to literally grind the coating off before before you can get to the actual wood to sand it up. However, if you buy an unfinished natural floor and finish it, once laid, with a waterborne lacquer such as the Bonakemi product shown here, then re-finishing is so much easier long term and can easily be re-finished "ad infinitum"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We've had extremely good results with these lacquers, my own floors at home are solid timber throughout our ground floor and have been down for 20 + tears now and so far I've re-finished them easily and quickly twice now using Bonakemi Mega.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We hear, there seem to be a lot of over zealous salesmen out there who want you to have the product they make most money on without considering what's best for your room, so I felt it was worth of few top tips of how to buy your hardwood well !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For those of you who know us and know about our continuing quest for environmentall sound products, we, of course, strongly recommend buying a sustainably sourced timber floor. There are a lot of timbers coming now from countries not known for good hardwood growing conditions and with unknown timber management policies so staying with FCS or PEFC countries actually makes a lot of sense anyway as the pedigree of the timbers is much, much better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope this will at least make those of you considering timber as a flooring material a lot better informed and able to ask the right questions of whoever you choose to buy your flooring from.</span><br />

And I also want to touch on a subject again that is close to our Eco ethos, the subject of plastic bottle waste, which has been gathering global condemnation in the media this week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But firstly, the finishing pics of our recent Nordic kitchen:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think the flash on my camera went a bit ott but the kitchen is now finished and ready for the decorator to complete and the flooring guys to move in. It's made the kitchen a very pleasant place to be, light and airy and proving that blue does not have to be the cold colour that a lot of people perceive it to be. I can see a lot of mileage in this concept for the coming year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We feel it will be a hit, also, with coastal properties, reflecting the hues that normally work really well with that setting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a lot of you already now, we can and do work all over the UK no problem at all, so that opens up the field for kitchens like this in coastal domestic properties, leisure parks, Eco lodges, holiday lets, anywhere in fact where this setting coupled with Eco principles is the very thing you're after. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The coastal connection leads me nicely into the second topic I would like to touch on and that is plastic bottle waste which is polluting and streams, river and oceans and killing our wildlife. You can't miss this subject at the moment as it's been all over the news and media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is an organisation called "City to Sea" that operate a scheme where we can all do our bit to help cut down on this waste by reusing the plastic bottles of water that we all seem to carry these days. Google it for more info !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically there are networks of local shops nationwide who are taking part in this scheme by offering FREE water refills in their shop premises. Rather than dump your bottles and buying more, which just add to the problem, call in to any shop premises displaying the Refill logo ( top of these 3 pics ) and they will be more than happy to refill your bottle for you, totally free of charge, with no obligation to do anything else while you're there. Unless, of course, you want to !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is an app you can download ( see second pic ) to tell you where all the locations are. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am proud to say that we are on the app ! and let's see if we can cut down on seeing the piles of bottle waste that are regularly collected on our beaches. ( last pic )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Respect our wonderful countryside, our wildlife and recycle as much as you can to cut down on the devastation that this waste can cause.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OK, off the soapbox now. But those of you that know us, will know that whatever we can do to help our environment, we will do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our base here in Ilkley in the Yorkshire Dales also falls victim to this waste and we are trying to get our local paper involved with reporting about this scheme. Unfortunately, we are struggling to get it featured..... Shame on you Ilkley... you know who you are !!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will keep battling to get the recognition for the scheme locally and will let you know how we get on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being green can sometimes be hard work but if we can change peoples opinions one at a time, then it's working !</span><br />

Well, here they are in all their glory. This is our first install on the new Eco Cosentino recycled content quartz worktops and I have to say, we've been very impressed, pics below, see what you think ??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We seem to be in this "half & half" cycle at the moment where we can show you the projects we're working on at the time but unfinished and then showing you the finished pics once the work is complete.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On that note, today's offerings also see the start of the first of our kitchens based on our new Nordic display I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, loving it so far !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With being really busy, timings for jobs now seem to be in split weeks to keep the ball rolloing and getting everything done that we need to pre Xmas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There I've done it ....... Finally mentioned Xmas, it is 2nd December though, so unlike all the other media that seems to be blathered in Xmas from about October onwards, we do at least wait until the right month. !!!</span><br />

Milestone ECO Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16228715358199296508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075822138960662051.post-91584632006625735052017-11-25T01:56:00.000-08:002017-11-25T01:57:37.588-08:00If it's Eco ... Prove it !<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ey up my faithful blogworms, freshly back from our wonderful Eco project in York last week, though I'd show you what we've been up to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Main kitchen is now installed, just waiting for our first set of the Eco Cosentino 75% recycled quartz worktops to be fabricated and we'll be going back next week to fit them and connect the sink etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Really looking forward to this as they're in "Riverbed" one of my favourite colours from this range. So, again, this will be a 2 parter with the finished pics next weekend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This project is from our Eco Organic range where the cabinets as our standard Eco2 18mm rigid construction with Medite Ecologique doors finished with Ecos "Feng Shui" organic paint from the wonderful company that is Lakeland Paints, check them out with a quick Google, their paint is marvellous and the best we've found for painted kitchens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whether hand painting with a foam roller or spray finishing, the results are superb. AND with all our kitchens using this paint, you get the remainder of the original paint for any repainting you may need to do in the future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The cooker hood is supposed to have a stainless steel stack coming out of the top but due to restrictions of height, we couldn't get it in, so we created a box panel enclosure above it using some spare material. This gives the impresssion of it being built in and by we put the panel in spring clips to enable it to be removed to get at the electrics and ducting behind it for any maintainence or repair in the future. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Only the use of the Ecos paint made this possible as we could make the panel, clean it up, profile it and paint it to match everything else. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Got a lovely total Eco project to install over in York, our glorious county town here in Yorkshire. Needless to say, I'll keep you all up to date with pics etc. So watch this space !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week is mainly catch up really, I did say I'd give you finished pics of our recent Eco project with the hand oiled timber doors kitchen that went in the straw build kitchen and these feature below. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But first, our new Eco2 Coastal display is finally finished and going down a storm already. 3 kitchens sold off it so far, it think it's set to be a winner in the coming year. A choice of colours and finishes available around the coastal theme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here it is, in all it's glory, every unit sets a new standard in kitchen unit design. We've listened to what folk have said they would like units to do and incorporated all these new ideas into this one display. Groundbreaking would be a good word here !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The picture doesn't do it justice and you really need to see it in the flesh for us to explain all the cabinet re-designs in full. Sticking our neck out a bit here to see if it works but you've got to try new things .. right ?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And .... Yes, before you ask, the brand new, superb, VW Gorenje fridge can be supplied as a stand alone order for your existing kitchen at competetive prices. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, to catch up, here's the pics Imentioned earlier to go with my earlier blog on this hand-oiled kitchen. We now have the worktops on the island unit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the most complicated to design and fit, this island came about with concentrated discussions with our customer where they considered carefully how to use every single bit of it. It ticks every box !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Short but sweet this week as I have a lot to prepare for next weeks project before we set off but as promised I'll keep you posted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rushing about ! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'll explain ...... We've just completed a kitchen project for a lovely lady who lives locally who made her choices based on her likes / dislikes in the normal time honoured fashion without even considering anything Eco.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When her work was completed and we said this has been a very Eco driven project, she asked why, when we explained she was absolutely thrilled to have a brand new totally Eco kitchen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She then admitted that she was so proud to have been an ethical purchaser that she was going to make the point to all her friends !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Almost like the Eco content was secondary to her choices but features primarily in how she will describe her shiny new kitchen to her friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Circumstances like this can often be the most basic entry into the world of thinking environmentally but can change a persons thinking to be more Eco friendly in the future !!</span><br />

Regarding bathrooms, they can be the biggest source of water damage problems in any house if not looked after and checked properly from time to time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The resulting damage can be a major headache, not only affecting that room but often the kitchen too as it's usually below the bathroom. Our project last week and just into next week is one such instance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We need our shower room sorting out, we think it leaks" they said. Massive understatement, once we got the old stuff out, it was clearly rotten as the pics will show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This has created so much more work than would have been necessary had we got to it sooner and it had obviously been leaking for a long time time. The walls had gone soft, the grouting falling out, the silicone seals were black and the whole thing had a musty, damp smell about it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My advice would be to check any of the above and get someone to look at it if you feel something is awry. It could save you a lot of pain and money further down the line.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What do you mean No ??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway this weeks entertainment is a particularly Eco kitchen installed into a straw bale build extension to a house and we can prove it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a follow up to our earlier blog on August 5th, putting into practice the things I talked about at that time. You see, there is a plan !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the ongoing developments we keep trying in the eco world, this particular kitchen is from our Eco Elite range in solid FSC oak with a hand oiled finish using Osmo environmentally friendly wax oils with solid Iroko tops finished the same way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">An idea we had some time ago, the first one being in a passive house up in Leyburn in North Yorkshire, although there was a lot less oiling involved with that one compared to this one !!</span><br />

No. Just joking !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, to business. Many things have been happening here at Milestone HQ, we are extremely busy at the moment with new Eco project enquiries coming in from all over the UK. All our years of doing our bit to push the Eco movement forward have finally taken over and Eco work now makes up more than half of our business. This can only be good for our environment long term and shows that people are now taking it seriously and paying attention.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have some pics to show you this week of a bathroom project where a large part of it is Eco product based, a bit of a first for us and a shame that at the same time as it will be the last bathroom that we do as a company. We will be looking for more bathroom installers to use our Eco products on a supply only basis to keep this area moving forwards. So, if you know of any forward thinking bathroom people needing this service, do let us know.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we've just finished a new bathroom for a customer and it pains me to say that at the beginning we spent more time than we should have putting water control isolating valves in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I hate "other plumbers" who don't consider this to be important. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this house the only way to control any water leaks that could happen would have been to turn off the main house stop cock and hope for the best, sorry, that is so not acceptable !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you get a leak on anything,<u style="font-weight: bold;"> an isolator valve is vital </u>to enable you to turn it off while maintaining water to the rest of the house.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This picture shows the control we put under the bath to enable the shower and the bath to be isolated individually in case of a leak. We've also made it easy to get the bath panel off for speedy use of these valves if necessary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also fitted the same to the vanity basin unit and to the W.C. unit so everything can be controlled simply and quickly should the need arise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was also completely dismayed to find that there was absolutely no provision for isolating and draining down the central heating. We needed to do this to move and fit a new radiator in the room</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end we had to shut off and drain down and remove a radiator near the front door to enable us to empty the heating system to carry out our work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What would have happened if a pipe had gone or a leak occured ??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The entire heating system would have continued to empty itself all over house until there was no water left in it. A right mess would have followed that could have been avoided at the cost of a fiver for a valve and a drain off point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a no-brainer !!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There are <u>always</u> ways and means of locating isolators that are easy to get at, no matter what it is you are installing .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The isolator here is in the unit to the left of the toilet so all you need to do is open the unit door and you're straight on it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shower and bath isolators are in the first picture at the top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically what I'm trying to do here is get you to look at anything in your home that is water fed and think to yourself .... how do I turn this off in an emergency ?? If you can't then, in my humble opinion, it's time to get someone in to make it so you can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is also a vitally important question to ask any tradesman who comes to your house to fit anything that operates with water. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF ??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If he says "Oh just turn off your house stopcock" then sack him and find someone else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've seen first hand the damage that water can do if left unchecked, so please take a good look around your house and consider the things I've mentioned. It could save you a hell of a lot of money, upset, stress and, worse case scenario, a house that's 'unliveable in' ( not even sure that's a word ?? ) until the damage is put right. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DO NOT USE THESE !! Called a Ballfix valve, these are cheap, nasty ( cost about a quid ) and are prone to failure because the screw is not directly connected to the ball inside ( they're on a spring location ) and even if they work, you need to dash around looking for a screwdriver to turn them off, wasting valuable time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">USE THESE ! These are called a Butterfly valve and they have a built in handle that's easy to turn, ( cost about £2.50 ) and they come in blue and red, clearly identifying whether it's hot or cold water in the pipe and the ball inside is directly connected to the handle, way, way more reliable the the one above. At Milestone, we fit these automatically to everything we install <u>and</u> show you where they are <u>and</u> show you how they work !!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope this will help you take a good look at control in your home and know what to ask for when getting plumbing work carried out, whoever does it ! Keeping your water inside the pipe does not cost a fortune !</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

An idea I've been chasing for a while now is a the ability to produce an Fsc sourced, eco friendly oiled, natural finish, timber kitchen unit door.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sounds easy, you say. In the past we've used low VOC content acrylic lacquers and these are commonly used these days but to truly get an Eco friendly natural finish then oiling is the way forward.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As usual with a lot of products these days, once you step outside what is classed as normal, you've got a fight on your hands to do something new. Something we've been used to over the last tens years or so we've been majoring on Eco products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, as usual, if you want owt doing, do it yourself !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in any of the listed timbers. Once manufactured and sanded, we then hand finish them with Osmo Polyx oil. To save you money on your project we can supply your doors sanded with the oil for your to finish yourself or we can finish them for you</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, the Osmo oils are eco friendly being made from natural products and your doors are vertical and unlikely to be used for walking on or cooking on like floors or worktops. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This makes a hardwax oil a good choice for doors for cleanability and durability. Also using a widely available oil product, you will be able to clean and refinish your doors keeping them in tip top condition for years to come. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As our faithful followers will know by now, we don't claim anything, eco wise, if we can't back it up. So here is the FSC Source certification for the timber supplied for this new range of kitchen doors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we are constantly searching for new eco based product to offer, a development like this ticks yet one more box bolstering our claim to offer the largest range of Eco friendly kitchen furniture in the land !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No idle claim, I can assure you !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Firstly we've been contacted by an extremely knowledgeable chap from Passive House Plus magazine, informing us that the Eco kitchen that we created up in Leyburn, North Yorks. last year is going to take centre stage in their next issue of the magazine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's a quick reminder of how it looked, it does feature in more depth in an earlier blog ! The Eco spec on this kitchen was very high, in fact the best it could be at the time, as described by the text below that I've sent over to the magazine !!</span><br />

The particle binder has a formaldehyde content of only 0.1 mg HCHO/ sq.m at 18mm thick which is way lower than the current limit value of 3.5 mg and at 0.1 is the same content as would be found in a naturally growing tree.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A fantastic scheme called "Refill" is out there in the UK, helping to cut back on bottle waste and provide places where you can refill your water bottle for free !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are now listed in this great new scheme and helping to cut back on the mountains of plastic bottle waste that we generate every year. When you're out and about, either at home or on holiday 1,000's of us buy and carry a water bottle around when the weathers hot but what do you do with your bottle when it's empty. I suspect a lot of you already know the answer to that ..... you see them littering pavements, forests, moorland, beaches etc and not being taken away and recycled properly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well now .... there is an alternative and it get's you something for free ! Call into businesses displaying the sticker shown below and you can get your bottle topped up for nothing, how good is that ?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inserted below are some clips from the website : refill.org.uk Go on and have a look for more details.</span><br />

And recycling’s not the answer either, here in the UK an estimated 800 plastic bottles a MINUTE are either ending up in landfill or as litter, which will too often make its way into our waterways and out to sea.</span></a><br />

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Refill</span> is a national, practical tap water campaign that aims to make refilling your bottle as easy, convenient and cheap as possible by introducing refill points on every street. We know water fountains can be expensive to install and maintain, so now friendly cafes, shops, hotels and businesses are welcoming you in to refill your water bottle – for free! Refill is currently happening in Bristol, Cornwall, Dorset, Devon, Bath and Bradford-on-Avon with Brighton, Norwich and Hunstanton launching very soon!</div>
