Not every person is satisfied with traditional furniture like rigid wooden chairs and heavy, immobile couches, and they only have them because of a lack of better options. Fortunately for those who desire a little more flexibility in their homes, there are many alternative furniture products available to outfit a home the way they really want. One of the most popular alternatives in furniture is a classic staple of home décor: bean bag chairs. Little has changed in bean bag chairs since they burst onto the scene in the 60s and 70s, but while you can still find these chairs filled with recognizable white foam beads, that filling is more…

Recording studios are acoustically treated not just to prevent the entrance and exit of noise and sound, but also to create an atmosphere where recordings and mixes can be created with the most clarity and accuracy possible. This is difficult, because sound waves travel at different frequencies, reflect off of surroundings and pass through others. For these reasons, a room’s contents, building materials and shape all have an impact on the quality of sound. Reverberation and distortion can be reflected around a space and high and low frequencies can be absorbed or diffused at different rates, also impacting how music is heard. A sound acoustic treatment system is the solution…

They say home is where the heart is, but home can also be where the most danger is. Because of the sheer amount of time we spend in our homes and the various projects and duties we handle there that we would never be asked (or allowed) to take on in our professional lives, it makes sense that many accidents take place in and around the home.

This opens the possibility for banged elbows, stubbed toes and…

Whether it’s a quiet early morning cup of coffee, catching some sun during the day by the pool, or unwinding on a cool summer evening, patio furniture can provide some of the most enjoyable and relaxing moments during warmer months. Not all patio furniture is created equal though, and a rigid surface covered with thin, low-quality or old furniture foam can send you back inside on even the nicest day. Outdoor foam, with a quick-drying cellular structure is perfect for a patio furniture cushion. Water drains out of these porous forms and air passes through and dries them. When covered with the right aerating material, like Phifertex or Sunbrella Cushions,…

For individuals attempting to reduce noise or sound in a space, the first places usually treated are the walls. But in multiple-story residences, offices or large rooms, you may want to look up as well, and consider acoustical ceiling treatment. Ceilings are often forgotten spaces when it comes to sound treatment, but when you have multiple floors in a building, sound can travel up just as easily as out. They can also be thought of as a lid on a room, containing all the sound made. In places like offices, this can create noise and distractions that hurt the bottom line. In a classroom or auditorium, just a few people…
