Wide Selection of Countertops Available at Atlanta Spring Home Show this Weekend

If you are considering options for your next kitchen or bath project, you can’t miss the upcoming Spring Atlanta Home Show. Running this weekend, March 23 to March 25, there will be over 350 exhibitors, including Atlanta Kitchen, a company of Atlanta-based Construction Resources. The booth, #553 in the exhibit hall, is a must-see for any projects involving countertop additions or replacement.
The Atlanta Kitchen booth will showcase Cambria quartz counter surfaces which are gorgeous, highly durable and created in the United States. Cambria is a superior counter surface alternative. It doesn’t require frequent maintenance, is naturally stain and bacteria resistant, and is actually tougher than most now-common stones. Cambria comes in over 90 colors and styles which can emulate granite, marble or be a unique color that can’t be found in nature.

The booth will have five full-size Cambria quartz slabs to see and touch. The slabs will be in the colors of Bellingham, the warm rose quartz Buckingham, the rich mid-tone Canterbury and the white hot marble-style Torquay. There will also be a locally-fabricated kitchen island countertop and 12” by 12” samples of all of Cambria’s 96 colors.

The show is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. If you can’t make the show, visit the giant 20,000 square foot Indoor Slab Gallery to see all that Construction Resources has to offer.

Enjoying the Benefits of Home Steam Showers From Mr. Steam

People who use home steam showers from Mr. Steam enjoy several obvious benefits: relaxation; stress relief; and lower water consumption compared to other shower systems. Of course, there are plenty of not-so-obvious ones as well! If you're not already using Mr. Steam products, here are some reasons to make steam a part of your daily routine. And if you are, now is your chance to find out more about the home steam showers you know and love.

Mr. Steam may not be a doctor, but steam can be the perfect prescription for better health. Steamtherapy is often recommended for the treatment of respiratory ailments, including bronchitis, asthma, sinusitis and allergies. It can also soothe common cold symptoms and improve breathing by opening up the nasal cavities.

Home steam showers offer all the benefits of a spa. After a long day at work, coming home to a warm steambath is the perfect way to make your stress melt away. Steam can also help you prepare for the next day, as  it may increase the length of REM cycles during sleep. By combining the power of steam with your favorite aromatherapy oils, you can create the ultimate environment for relaxation.  

Steam also does wonders for the skin. It helps open up pores and relieve acne conditions. If you suffer from dry or cracked skin, steam will help keep you hydrated and leave you rejuvenated with a healthy glow. Steam can also increase blood circulation, which is important for removing lactic acid from your muscles after working out.

All of these wonderful benefits can be enjoyed with minimal costs. Each 20-minute steam session uses less than two gallons of water. Negligible energy costs make steam showers an everyday luxury. With so many reasons to add a home steam shower from Mr. Steam to your bathroom, isn't it time you asked your local showroom about the benefits of steam?
