Dan’s Millwork Picks – Prevent Warped Sink Bottom with Merillat CoreGuard

Under the sink storage has always been problematic. Homeowners keep a variety of liquid cleaning solutions, the trap for the sink is there, and often the connection for the dishwasher ties into the plumbing under the sink. All of this equals a damp and sometimes leaky environment that causes stains, and worse, a warped sink bottom due to the construction of most sink bases. The solution? Merillat’s CoreGuard.

BUILDING IT BETTER
with Gary Katz

Why Miters Move

For decades I’ve heard contractors say that moldings and flooring material-all finish wood products, must “acclimate” to the job. I’ve heard some pretty specific time-tables for acclimation, too: some people say acclimation requires 24 hours, though I’ve also heard 48 hours.

Why Moisture Content Matters

Most of the trim material we use today comes from new growth wood, trees that are harvested before they’ve reached even 24 in. in diameter. New growth softwood is almost all sapwood, which means it’s not nearly as durable as heartwood, it won’t resist rot or decay nearly as well.
