Effectiveness of Superior Adhesives & Chemicals Formulations Against H1N1 

The recent global outbreak of H1N1 influenza virus (swine flu) has highlighted the importance of proper hygiene, including the cleaning and disinfecting of hard, non-porous surfaces. The EPA has recently noted that those products currently registered for use against the influenza A virus will be effective against the 2009-H1N1 (swine) flu strain as well as other influenza A virus strains, on hard non-porous surfaces. A list of Superior Adhesive & Chemical formulations proven effective against the influenza A virus can be found below. Superior Adhesives & Chemicals also wishes to remind our customers of the many formulations that have been proven effective against avian influenza (H5N1). Avian influenza (H5N1) is transmitted primarily through contact with surfaces and materials that have been contaminated by infected birds. A list of those Superior Adhesives & Chemicals formulations proven effective against avian influenza (H5N1) can also be found below. As always, for safe and effective use of these products, carefully follow all label instructions. Remember that your first line of defense, per CDC guidelines, is the frequent and thorough washing of hands with soap and water. Hard surface disinfectant products are not for use on skin and should only be used on hard, non-porous surfaces.

Your home is your sanctuary. Your most valuable and treasured investment. You want a space that highlights your individuality while resonating with timeless elegance and dazzling luxury. And you want it without a second mortgage.

Achieving affordable luxury is attainable on any level with the Tile Shop. Providing impressive tiling options, subtle accents and dramatic impact items to suit any desire – and any budget – the Tile Shop can help you attain your level of luxury, all without breaking the bank.

Discover Your Creativity  

Affordable luxury is nestled in creativity. For homeowners seeking the envy of their neighbors and applause from their guests, dazzling luxury begins by fusing the entire home with elegance, style and your own distinct expression. 

Igniting your creativity can start by blending classic elements with the latest trends, bringing together a cohesive design scheme throughout the entire home. Implementing a striking mosaic bathroom floor with bold, contemporary colors for example, can emphasize a classic claw foot tub, showcasing the entire room in timeless luxury. 

The timelessness of Mother Nature fuels imagination as well, so take full creative license with the natural shapes, textures and patterns that make each tile at the Tile Shop luxuriously unique. Mixing earthy, rough stone tiles with sleek ceramic, shimmering glass and contemporary metal pieces break conventional design methods and add a dynamic, affordable dimension to your individual sense of style and luxury.

At the Tile Shop we’ll guide your aspirations toward any luxury project, and bring intuitive direction and exceptional expertise to inspire your creativity. Our aesthetic guidance, technical advice, free DIY classes and complete tools and supplies help you create a luxurious home that reflects your inspiration, originality and spectacular sense of style.

Sensationally Subtle Accents

Implementing subtle design elements and elegant accent pieces affordably enhances the classic appeal and luxury of your home. Keeping a keen eye on the remarkable details of each unique tile, and the existing décor within your home, provides opportunity for harmoniously interweaving blends of stone listellos and hand-carved shelving to embellish sleek shower walls, or delicate architectural edging and profiles to enhance classic kitchen counters.

Subtle fixtures such as switch plates, soap dishes and other luxurious accents provide affordable options for establishing luxury in the home as well. The uniqueness of one sophisticated fixture, or a combination of textures, styles and materials, provide endless opportunities for creative expression and achieving ultimate luxury.

High Impact Wow Pieces

The capstone of affordable luxury is a dynamite conversation piece that simply says extraordinary. Solitary, high impact pieces provide flexibility with your budget, and implementing even one dramatic element creates luxurious, striking appeal while unifying your existing décor.

Impressive impact items, such as a sleek onyx basin atop a brilliantly textured brushed marble countertop, or an exquisite tub, hand-carved from exotic travertine collected from the farthest steps of the globe, make powerful, luxurious statements in your home. Whether it’s a rustic stone farm sink anchoring a spectacular kitchen, or an intricate porcelain mosaic meeting your guests with elegant grandeur in the living room, wow pieces create a direct impact and inspire absolute awe in your home.

Explore The Depths of Luxury

With virtually limitless possibilities, the formula for luxury is you. Your sense of style and your innovative blend of elegance and impact. Inspired by the uniqueness of all natural products and innovative design schemes, the Tile Shop helps you create timeless luxury and enduring elegance by reflecting your individual creativity with spectacular tiles, subtle accents and outstanding wow pieces, all while keeping your budget in line.
