Landmark Onlays An Affordable and Chic Way to Enhance a Space

Kitchen renovations are among the most expensive and extensive home projects, but it’s possible to breathe some new life into your tired kitchen or interior space without breaking the bank and with minimal effort.  Ideal for a variety of substrates, Landmark’s decorative onlays can turn an average backsplash or wall into a signature masterpiece.

With a rich history of use that continues today, Landmark onlays feature many of the old styles preserved over time as well as some contemporary pieces for a more urbane look. From swirling filigrees reminiscent of the decor of the French court to traditional acanthus leaves and grapes of the Greek and Roman architectural style, all Landmark tile (including 1×1’s sanded on sides and bottom) and plaques can be featured as onlays.

Ideal for wall applications (plaster or drywall), finishing touches on wood cabinets, range hoods and mirrors or creating a dramatic focal point on the fireplace mantel, metal onlays are the perfect embellishment to add a touch of drama to your space.  And don’t forget your exterior spaces.  Pools, patios and BBQ areas adorned with select Landmark pieces take on a custom high-end look for a minimal cost.

All onlays can be cut or drilled and installed using a silicone adhesive or mastic.  Be sure to use an adhesive that is compatible with the substrate with which you are working.  For instance, mastics work well for metal, drywall and rough surfaces while a 2-part epoxy works well on smooth stone, glass or ceramic.  When applying our tile to a moist area such as showers or pools, a clear bead of silicone around the onlay will keep moisture from getting in.

To Renovate or Not to Renovate?

While the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies has predicted that by the end of 2009 home remodeling will be down 12% from 2008, if you’re in a position to remodel, there are plenty of reasons to seize the day.

Contractors Are Becoming More Competitive
Many contractors are taking on less expensive projects needing smaller jobs to keep their crew busy and their business afloat.  They are also more open to discounting their services and becoming more competitive in this tough economy.

Less Expensive Projects
Many supplies and materials are becoming cheaper and dropping in price.  Places like Lowes and Home Depot are becoming more agressive in their discounts with Home Depot claiming “More Saving. More Doing.”

You’re Sticking Around
Given the real estate market, you’re probably not selling your home any time soon and that means you can kick back and enjoy your improvements.

How is Metalcoating Different From Plating, Powder Coating and Cladding?

Landmark’s metalcoating is 95% real metal mixed with a 5% binder that is cold-sprayed onto virtually any substrate to create the look and feel of solid cast metal.  Unlike plating, powder coating and cladding, Landmark metalcoat is available in seven metals and eight finishes and can be applied to almost any substrate.  Landmark’s process uses recycled metals and is not harmful to the environment.
