Design Notes
Including nature’s elements in the home design remains a popular choice. Placing extra windows into the room to allow more light in or choosing eco-friendly options, such as granite countertops, are favored ways to accomplish this. Wood, however, remains the number one choice with most clients as it adds warmth and texture to the room. It also blends with multiple styles, including modern industrial and farmhouse. Even though there are numerous design benefits to incorporating wood into the design, not everyone has access to reclaimed wood or can afford to install it. Stikwood is the perfect solution. Let’s explore this amazing product more and why we chose to become an authorized dealer.

Common Questions About Stikwood.
Have a few questions? That’s okay. Here are a few answers to some of the more common questions.

- How long will it stick? Until you get tired of it. The adhesive is rated for 10 years and will not go anywhere anytime soon.
- How thick is it? Reclaimed wood measures 3/16” thick, while the sustainable hardwood planks are ⅛” thick.
- What’s the width? Almost everything is 5″ wide except for their reclaimed barrel oak and reclaimed sports floor, which are 2″ wide.
- How do you clean it? Maintenance is as simple as turning on the vacuum cleaner and running it over with an attachment.

In this blog, we’ll explore what window treatments are, the various styles available, and how they can bring both beauty and benefits to your living space—for you, your family, and your home.

Granite, Quartz, Marble, or Quartzite?
These are the top contenders when it comes to selecting the perfect countertop material for your kitchen or bathroom. Each one brings its own strengths, aesthetic appeal, and practical considerations—making the decision both exciting and a bit overwhelming.
Granite is a natural stone known for its durability and unique, one-of-a-kind patterns. Quartz, on the other hand, is an engineered surface that offers a wide range of color options and is prized for its low-maintenance qualities. Marble stands out for its timeless elegance and heat resistance, though it requires more upkeep. Quartzite closely resembles marble in appearance but offers greater durability and easier maintenance.
When making your selection, it’s important to consider factors such as heat and stain resistance, ease of maintenance, and of course, budget. Below, we break down the key differences, pros, and cons of each material to help you determine which surface best suits your lifestyle, design vision, and practical needs.
