Remodeling and Renovation from Laticrete

As the "New Construction" market softens in some areas the remodeling and renovation market strengthens. Tile and stone are ideal materials to use in remodeling and renovation situations. They are often fast to install and add true "value."

Property is more than just a building. It's a home, a business, a source of pride and peace of mind. Protecting, growing and improving that valuable investment is important.

Transform a kitchen into a stunning showcase: Whether a kitchen needs a total remodel or something as simple as a fresh new look, remodeling will create a kitchen that the owner will both love and that will increase the value of their home.

Beauty and functionality - that's what people want when they remodel their bathrooms. The possibilities are endless and remodeling can create elegant bathrooms from the smallest spaces - where one would think it could not be done - to the largest of bathrooms.

Commercial renovations often turn old, outdated office, retail or commercial space into new, modern, attractive, functional, valuable and readily leasable areas.

Clear communication between owner, contractor, and architect is critical to a successful remodeling and renovation project. Agreement on some simple definitions is a good place to start.

"Remodeling" is often broadly used to describe any kind of change to an existing building. Technically, it's more accurate to say that remodel means to change the character of a building or a portion of a building. So when you convert a den into a master bedroom you're remodeling the den. When you combine a kitchen and dining room into one large eat-in kitchen you're remodeling the kitchen and dining room .

"Renovating" is a much more specific term. It means, quite literally, to make new again. An out-of-date kitchen or office or retail space, updated with new finishes and fixtures, has been renovated. Replacing old tiles with new ones is a renovation project.

"Restoring" a house, office or building is sort of the opposite of renovation. Instead of updating, you're making the building like it was before (i.e., you can do a historic restoration but not a historic renovation.)

Confused? Let's review. Three similar terms, three different meanings.

Remodel: Changing the use of a space or spaces.
Renovate: Make a space new without changing its use.
Restore: Return a space to its original use, and/or return a space to its original character.
