A federal regulation designed to protect against the risk of exposure to lead dust and chips from lead-based paint and other lead-based coatings disturbed by renovation activities will take effect beginning in April 2010.
Contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. This includes wood flooring contractors.
In order to understand your potential obligations under this new rule, refer to http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm
Somerset’s Character Collection is solid 3/4″ thick flooring crafted from Appalachian species which are renowned for their incomparable beauty. Solid prefinished flooring should last the lifetime of your home. It can be sanded and refinished if needed—or if your decorating tastes change and you simply want to change the color.

Thanks to all that came by our new location in Mooresville to meet the new Loba representative. Loba was on location to demonstrate several of their products. We sealed the concrete with Wakol PU 280, then layed solid 3/4″ hardwood with Wakol MS 260.
Thanks to Brian from Loba-Wakol for his help. We soon will be sanding and finishing with the Loba finishes, stay tuned!
