Meet the Interstones team! Adalberto Ganzarolli, Jimmy Khalifeh, and Hernan Levy are here discuss the history behind Interstones, what to know about natural stones, and the difference between iStone and other synthetic products.

What makes Interstones different than other stone suppliers? Clients have the opportunity to select first-hand stone from their warehouses. Their product has "a secret finish process" which makes the final sealant layer a one-of-a-kind. The secret to this sealant has been passed down thru generations and improved through the years.

LITERALLY, from the quarries to you home. The materials straight to consumers - no middlemen and no minimums, which drastically reduces the cost when buying these quality products.

What is the latest TREND in the stone industry? The personal connection with the stone is the key to understanding what is trending. Stones are unique, whether we are talking about precious stones or countertops. They all carry a different energy and feeling that offers us a different energy and feeling. The crystal has the most amount of energy possible. The condition of the world and what is happening in the environment around us has a great influence on the colors that we select. Some colors offer a more calming feel, others influence focus, as some represent recovery or help increase our energy. People wanted life and greenery in their homes, so green stones have became popular. Due to the spiritual connection, all natural colors have become more popular. Since blue is the color of hope, it has grown in popularity and is now one of the most popular color trends in the industry.

Mike Robertson is the Managing Partner / Co-Founder of Fuse Specialty Appliances.  Mike's experience with Best Buy lead him to become familiar with the industry and got his start in selling kitchen appliances and continued to get inspired from there.

LISTEN to LEARN when you should start looking for appliances in the remodeling process. START EARLY. Sometime before breaking ground on your new home, looking for appliances is actually suggested.

Learn how to avoid nightmare stories when buying appliances. Make sure the trades align as there are different factors that go into the proper installation of your cabinets and how the appliances will ultimately be affected based on where the spec measurements configure with your plumbing, electrical, gas and other factors. Make sure the designer, architect and all trades are working cohesively to assure no surprises arise later in the project. For example, check that your electrical lines are run in the proper locations based on the exact appliances that you are purchasing. The better you plan through the remodel, the better the appliance installation will go. Work with an appliance dealer who will consult and review your plans to make sure these challenges are avoided based on the specs.

WHAT'S TRENDING? Microwave Drawers and Steam Ovens are the two most popular items in kitchen appliances that Mike has seen grown in popularity. Smart kitchen technology has come a long way,  and is evident when looking at the evolution of the kitchen cooktops.

What's to Come: What is next in the 5 to 10 years in kitchen appliances? Where is there room to advance? Hear Mike's take on Gas vs. Induction and the evolution of where it could go.

Meet Laura Basili, The Deck Diva, of Brazilian Lumber as she explains the exotic hardwood industry, how to select the best product for your home project, the trends in the hardwood industry, hardwood maintenance, what are certified hardwoods, as well as sustainability efforts towards forestry management and SO MUCH MORE!

Why is Brazilian Exotic Hardwoods the best types of woods to use in your exterior home projects?

Learn more about Ipe, Cumuru, Garapa, Jatoba, Tigerwood, Massaranduba, Santos Mahogany and so many others. Depending on the color or workability that you want, there is an exotic hardwood for you. Cumuru is a current architects favorite here in South Florida due to the color and properties that it has.

Know the difference between the different levels of certified hardwoods and why this is so important.  FSC certified wood is important to know about when selecting product and is seen as economically sustainable, which covers social aspects of forestry and manufacturing of the product.

Why are the Sustainability efforts so important when discussing forestry management? Forestry is healthy for the rainforest and our ecosystem. Brazilian Lumber is only interested in commercially viable trees. What does that mean? Only a forestry engineer is allowed to select the trees that are no longer viable to the forest and have gone through their life cycle. These trees are no longer seed bearing trees, which allows the underbrush to receive light from the sun as the overall canopy is reduced. Without this, farming and mining would go into these forests, which would pollute and negatively impact the environment.  Forestry is controlled and helps the evolution and continuous development of the rainforest.

By doing this, forestry provides jobs, medical facilities, schools, and other aspects of naturally occurring and sustainable product that allows additional growth to occur (both in the forest and socially) that would not have been allowed to take place. The trees in the underbrush  would never have the opportunity to grow.

Learn more about selecting the best hardwood for you, the ease of installing exotic hardwoods, maintenance, and so much more from Brazilian Lumber by listening to this podcast. Did you know that there is a platinum level of hardwood? There is just too much to know about exotic hardwoods and the industry so LISTEN NOW!
