Dr. Patton’s office

| The Pattons chose to use a few new green interior materials in the phase 2 addition that they did not use in the phase 1 renovation and addition. The stair treads were custom made by a wonderful family owned business in Rogersville, TN called Full Cycle Woodworks. All Full Cycle wood is sustainably harvested including the ash the Patton’s chose for their stair treads and the cherry they chose for their stair risers. All the interior trim in the phase 2 addition is cypress and the interior doors and jambs are Pine. Cindy wanted folks who tour her home to see how easy it is to combine different species of wood resulting in a very warm environment. Reclaimed or sustainably harvested wood was the only wood used throughout the interior finishes of both building processes, with the exception of Southern Yellow Pine for doors in phase 2, jambs and exterior fascias. Cindy and Pat agree that far too many hardwood trees are being harvested for unjust reasons such as hardwood flooring. AFM Safecoat’s Poly BP Gloss was used as the sealer for all the floors in the phase 2 addition including the cork tiles in Dr. Patton’s office and reception area, the ash in entry, waiting area and stair along with the master bedroom. This finish was chosen for it’s low toxicity but high durability. The Poly BP Gloss is suitable for gym and warehouse use. Dr. Patton’s office gets a lot of foot traffic with 8-12 patients in and out per day. The Pattons have 3 dogs as well, which increased their need for a durable coating. The 1/2 bath in Dr. Patton’s office has natural linoleum flooring, which of course does not need a finish — and it is performing well (in it’s 3rd year). |
