Unique Refinishers Featured in Better Homes & Gardens
An April 2003 article highlighted the company's tile-reglazing expertise and included insights from its president, Ron Kott.
A Look Back at Unique Refinishers' Tile-Reglazing Expertise
The April 2003 article looked at an alternative to tearing out a dated bathroom: restoring the existing tile instead of automatically replacing it. Unique Refinishers was highlighted for its work reglazing tile surfaces.
The article documented a residential project for homeowner Cynthia Seidner in a 1920s Cape Cod-style home. The bathroom's existing dark tile surfaces were reglazed in white, which gave the room a refreshed look without removing the original tile.
Ron Kott on Refinishing Versus Replacement
The article included comments from Ron Kott, president of Unique Refinishers, about evaluating the condition of existing tile before deciding on a course of action.
His point was that the condition of the surface matters. Tile that is structurally sound may be a good candidate for refinishing. Tile that is damaged may need repairs, or full replacement, before refinishing makes sense.
What the Article Explained About Tile Reglazing
The article gave readers a general overview of how tile reglazing worked at the time. The steps it discussed were:
- Cleaning the existing tile surfaces
- Surface preparation before any coating was applied
- Bonding agents to help the new finish adhere
- Refinishing coatings applied over the prepared tile
- Curing of the new finish
