Pro Secrets: Shopping List

Posted on by torlys

Just a few key details with the right products can make any job easier, longer-lasting and attractive to potential buyers. So when you’re planning your next project, use this cheat sheet to stretch your budget and make your hard work go further—without sacrificing quality or beauty.

Big Impact Items

  • PAINT: A subpar paint can clump, fade, streak or not fully cover the last coat. Set the tone for the room by sourcing a quality paint product without a premium price: look into professional brands marketed to industry experts as opposed to consumer-facing labels, which often command a higher price without improved performance.
  • FLOORING: This is the foundation of your room—and being able to clean your floors less means they’ll last longer. TORLYS offers flooring with built-in Microban® antimicrobial benefits, protecting your project from mold, mildew and bacteria at a better price point than unprotected brands.

Small Home Renovation Details that Pay Off

Posted on by torlys

Before you go tearing up that outdated kitchen and busting through your budget, take heart: just a few (more affordable) strategic upgrades could work just as hard for your home’s resell value as a full remodel. We’ve outlined a few key home renovation details that, combined, will make for a beautiful, durable facelift with added benefits for prospective homebuyers.

Four Small Home Renovations to Consider

1. Lay a Long-Lasting Home Renovation Foundation

If the old floor in your kitchen needs to go, but you’re not looking to spring for the expense of hardwood, consider vinyl flooring. Vinyl comes in hundreds of beautiful colors and styles and makes a fantastic first impression upon entering the kitchen. It’s also quicker and easier to install, which helps if you’re looking to move in or sell soon.

TORLYS combines beauty and resilience at an affordable price point and can transform a room without compromising values or budget. In addition, with built-in Microban® protection against mold, mildew and odor-causing bacteria, the added value of your kitchen home renovation to a prospective buyer is priceless: a healthier, cleaner home, with less germs for their family to worry about.

2. Swap in New Sinks and Fixtures

Two simple, yet stylish add-ons are sinks and faucets. Drop-in sinks, especially deep ones, are always desirable, and so easy—they literally “drop in” to a hole in the countertop, plus the installation costs very little. Faucets are fashion statements in themselves; look for adjustable, clean design with a striking silhouette, and if you choose a brand with the built-in antimicrobial protection of Microban®, that design aesthetic will be protected from mold and mildew for the product’s lifetime. Not a bad added benefit for a buyer looking for both beauty and ease of care!

3. Let There Be Light

Update lighting fixtures with brighter, more energy-efficient ones, and you’ll be helping the earth stay healthy, too. They’re no more expensive than traditional bulbs, but the luxe feel they bring justifies a higher asking price overall. While you’re at it, look into lighting switches and dimmers, which add a customized, personal touch. Finally, when installing, aim for a mix of natural, overhead, and under-cabinet lighting. Under-cabinet lights create drama and a warm glow, are easy to install and can be added under your existing upper kitchen cabinets.

4. Revamp with New Hardware

Whether your design aesthetic is brushed silver or glowing bronze, a simple swap of the right hardware adds a cohesive, elegant touch throughout your kitchen remodel without breaking the bank. Home renovation superstores carry a great selection of door, cabinet and drawer hardware.

9 Common Holiday Season Stains and Messes (And How to Clean them)

Posted on by torlys

During the holiday season your home is likely to resemble a battlefield, especially if you have children and even more so if you have braved the feat of hosting holiday guests! From dealing with all of the discarded wrapping paper to cleaning up wine stains on the carpet, check out these tips we’ve put together for dealing with holiday season messes. Remember: always spot test to ensure no damage is caused to the surfaces of your flooring, furniture, and surfaces.

How to remove wax from flooring

Cinnamon or pine tree scented candles are all well and good, until one of them gets knocked over and your hardwood floors are covered in wax. Not to worry though, you don’t have to start sanding the floor just yet. Use a scraper to remove the hardened wax, going in the direction of the wood grain, then cover the stain with was paper or a towel and iron on a low-medium heat, being careful not to burn it – this should help you get rid of any stubborn bits. You can also use TORLYS EcoCare Cleaning Kit to help make cleaning your hardwood floors a breeze so that your floors keep looking fresh. Bonus: TORLYS floors are backed by Microban’s Antimicrobial Product Product for a cleaner floor.
