History About The Fruit Market Gallery

The Fruit market Gallery brings to Scotland the work of some of the world’s most important contemporary artists. They recognize that art can change lives and offer an intimate encounter with art for free. Exhibitions, commissions, and publications are made directly in collaboration with artists. The Fruit market Gallery celebrates new thinking and offers an international platform for artists, curators, and writers, whether they have made their reputation in Scotland or abroad. The Fruit market Gallery welcomes all audiences to engage with art, encouraging questions and supporting debate.

 Originally built as a fruit and vegetable market in 1938, The Fruit market Gallery has been operating as a visual arts space since 1974. Rescued by the Scottish Arts Council from threatened demolition, the building was initially shared between the Scottish Arts Council, the New 57 Gallery, and the Print-makers Workshop. At the end of 1983 the Scottish Arts Council relinquished management of the building, and in Spring 1984, The Fruit market Gallery became an independent space with the continued support of the Scottish Arts Council and now Creative Scotland.

The Fruit Market is currently temporarily closed for re-development, but they plan to re-open in the near future with more space for their art, a new learning studio and additional facilities. 

Manufacturing Unique and Complete Wood Interiors from new and reclaimed materials.

Historic Timber and Plank has manufactured a truly one of a kind wall panel.  This panel was created for Five Guys, LLC and is displayed at their corporate headquarters in Lorton, VA.

The wall panel uses the Five Guys time-honored red and white colors and varying sized solid wood 100% post-industrial recycled blocks to create a three-dimensional panel that is 2′ x 10′ and pays honor to the French fries which they have made famous.

How many blocks are there?

There are 4,500 ¾ inch square handcrafted maple blocks. The blocks range in length from 1 ½ inch to 4 inches, and with the random pattern designed for this wall panel, no two blocks of the same size are ever in contact.

Each block was individually handcrafted and finished with custom Five Guys colors to create this unique panel.

So you got your new hardwood floors installed… now what? It is important to take care of your floors so that they last. Follow this maintenance routine from the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA):

 

Clean Spills Immediately

Use a dry or slightly damp towel instead of using wet or steam mops. According to the NWFA, these mops can cause more damage to your wood. Wood naturally swells and shrinks, so it is important to keep humidity levels down to avoid splitting or gaping wood. Another important tip is to keep our home’s temperature between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. An obvious tip is to keep wet shoes outside.

 

Use Furniture Pads

While some pesky scratches in your wood are inevitable, others can be prevented by adding furniture pads to the legs of your chairs, sofas, tables, etc. Keep those floors scratch free with help from furniture pads! You can find them at your local convenience store.

 

Dust or Sweep on the Daily

Unfortunately, dust forms everywhere, including your flooring. In result, this dust can settle in the grain between your floorboards. Dust or sweep daily to minimize dirt and particles in your floorboards.

 

Vacuum Weekly

Although some of you may already vacuum once a day, it is important that you keep pesky dirt or crumbs off your floors as much as possible to avoid scratching your wood. A Roomba is a good investment if you aren’t a fan of vacuuming.

 

Use Hardwood Floor Cleaner

Clean your floors monthly with a nice brand of floor cleaner. Visit your local convenience store to pick up your favorite cleaner. Some brands include Black Diamond, Libman and Bona.

 

Re-finish Your Floors Every 3-5 Years

Whenever your wood floors are starting to discolor or get dull, you can recoat them to bring them back to life. Applying wood floor finish will get the job done.

Wood flooring has skyrocketed in popularity. Many residents and businesses have ditched the carpet and replaced it with hardwood flooring. Hardwood floors are known to increase value in a home or building. Check out some of these interesting statistics regarding hardwood floors:

 

What is the Best Value Wood Flooring?

The best value wood flooring is oak. Oak is the best value because it is known to be widely-available, it is a long-lasting and durable material, which results in keeping the prices down (HomeAdvisor.com). Historic Timber and Plank has a variety of Oak products to choose from.

 

What is the Best Hardwood Floor for Dogs?

Calling all of you animal lovers! The best wood flooring for dogs are planks of distressed hickory. Hickory is a solid surface and it consists of a tight grain to minimize scratches on the surface (HomeAdvisor.com). Historic Timber and Plank will supply you with the best hickory products out there.

 

What Color of Hardwood is Best for Resale?

“The best hardwood for resale should have a light or a dark stain with a brown or gray tone, not yellow. Yellow tends to make the flooring look dated” (HomeAdvisor.com).
