Interior design is a very robust field full of experts. There are many different considerations you have to take into account when talking with an interior design company, like the materials used and the rooms in which they are going to be used. When you are dealing with an interior designer, you might not know what to ask them. If you’re not very familiar with interior design as an art, it can be a little overwhelming. The following are a few questions you can ask.
Is This Water-Resistant?
Some rooms in your house are usually subjected to water and high humidity. The most obvious examples are your bathrooms and your kitchen. Whenever you turn on the shower, your bathrooms will see a spike in the temperature as well as the amount of humidity in the air. That type of high heat and humidity can warp certain materials or soak into the pores. The moisture can soak into wood over time and cause the wood to swell, which can cause it to warp and become discolored. There are ways to prevent this, but you need to make sure you ask the interior design company about it.
Does This Need Bracing?
If you are choosing certain materials for your countertops, some of them might need to be braced. For example, marble and granite are very popular materials because they are waterproof and very durable. They will not scratch easily, nor will they absorb water. However, they can be somewhat brittle if the stone is hanging off the counter too much. In some cases, a thin piece of stone will require a brace if you are going to use it as a countertop.
You should also ask about how materials will match up with one another even if they are in different rooms. You can get answers to all of these questions by calling 202-719-8062 or by visiting www.zoefeldmandesign.com. You can also follow them on Google+ for more updates.
