Is Snoring Driving You Crazy? - Capell Flooring and Interiors

Snoring can be an irritation to bed partners; however, do you know snoring can be the symptom of a sleep disorder that could affect the brain?

We all know what snoring sounds like, but we may not know why it occurs. This annoying sound is commonly associated with breathing issues.

The sounds are produced either from the soft palette, the tongue or both during airflow obstruction. As the muscles relax while sleeping, the area at the back of the throat becomes more narrow or closes off temporarily. That means air passing through the now smaller opening makes the tissues surrounding it vibrate. That’s the sound that can keep a partner up at night.

Factors that may cause snoring are:

  • Extra weight can result in a larger neck and bulkier tissues, making airways narrow.
  • Drinking alcohol too close to bedtime may cause throat muscles to relax.
  • Sinus infections, seasonal allergies, colds, or cigarette smoke can cause swelling in the throat along with a blocked or stuffy nose.
  • A deviated nasal septum, a wall that separates the nostrils in the nose, might be deformed causing snoring for some people.
  • Enlarged tonsils, the shape of a mouth, a long uvula, or a thick soft palate may restrict airflow.

Snoring is a strong indicator of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a condition that causes people to stop breathing for a few seconds to several minutes, dozens of times an hour. Approximately one out of every two heavy snorers - those who are heard clear down the hall when the door is closed - have Sleep Apnea. However, snoring is not always experienced by patients with this condition.

Researchers even say, people with sleep apnea tend to develop memory problems and some severe health consequences earlier than people without it. So, if you or a loved one snore loudly, or appear to stop breathing while sleeping, visit your doctor to find out if Sleep Apnea is the reason.

Treatment can reduce health concerns associated with sleep apnea.

Searching for a new floor covering among many flooring options can be daunting. After all, you want to fulfill your wish list and suit your budget. Common types of floor coverings are carpets, hardwood or tile, and all have their own advantages and disadvantages. For now, let’s focus on carpet benefits and disadvantages.

Advantages

Cost-effective: When compared to other available options, carpeting has cost-effective options. Good quality carpet can be over 50% less expensive than hardwood floors.

Aesthetics: The variety of colors and designs allow you to more easily match the décor in your home.

Insulation: Carpeting is insulation and a sound absorber that can be boosted with the installation of a thick under pad or choosing denser fiber styles.

Disadvantages

Maintenance: Carpets require a high level of maintenance to keep them looking clean and fresh. You need to vacuum regularly and have it deep cleaned at least once every year.

Sensitivity to stains and moisture

Damage and Stains: Over other available flooring options, carpet is more susceptible to damage and stains. For example, in extreme moisture conditions, they are also prone to mildew, which can be harmful to people.

If you, or someone you know, are considering new flooring options, come in to the store. We can provide all the options available, so that you can make an educated choice that’s right for your home and budget.

Freeing Role Models Overhead - Capell Flooring and Interiors

Birds are fascinating!  They captivate our imaginations and often leave us in a state of awe while watching them.

Did you admire birds overhead and imagine flying alongside them when you were a kid? Even as adults taking time to birdwatch, we can temporarily escape stresses in the day.

Birds are nature’s symbols of freedom. After all, what freedom flying would be, to soar high and travel distances as the bird flies - without the need to weave around landscape, waterways and manmade structures.

Birds are symbols in our every day. They symbolize human character traits … ‘proud as a peacock’ … ‘noble like an eagle’ … Gliding swans are an image of grace and elegance. A dove is the symbol of peace. 

Birds are works of art! Yet, did you know bright colored birds are often male? Yes, birds are beautiful, but their beauty is not confined to their outward appearance. Birds fill the air with music too.

The sanctuaries birds build from a simple collection of twigs to an intricately woven masterpiece means their nest-building skills are industrious marvels. With their patience and devotion, and attentive care to their offspring, could birds be a role model for us?

Each of us may admire birds for different reasons, but their appeal is indisputable. So, why is this email for the birds? February is National Bird Feeding Month, a month to celebrate wild bird watching and feeding.

Curtis do you admire the birds in your backyard?

Fresh Paint - Capell Flooring and Interiors

If you've decided to freshen up the décor in your home and repaint the walls, preparation is the key to getting that new paint to last. If you don't prepare, that new paint could let you down.

You need to determine if you should remove the old paint. Is it peeling, flaking, 
or coming off like a powder when your rub your hand over it? If any of these are true, you definitely need to prepare the walls for fresh paint.


If stripping paint leaves you with images of scaling on the walls in your home with sand paper in hand, don’t worry! While sanding can be an effective way to remove paint, there are far simpler ways to get the job done.

Determine what type of base you're dealing with. Is it latex or oil?

If it's wallpaper, the fresh paint will definitely look better with that old paper stripped away and the wall sanded to ensure no glue residue remains. Yet, there are products to help with that.

Be sure to remove any bumps and repair any damaged areas. There are good primers on the market that easily cover a lot of history on the walls. Some can cover oil paint if you want to use a different type of paint. Others can cover over dark colors and marks with ease, turning your wall into a fresh canvas for new color. Stop into your local paint store for the best product for the current state of your walls.

Finally, in preparing for your new paint, use painters tape to cover what you definitely don't want painted. That could include the trim, ceiling edges, baseboards - and don't forget a drop cloth to protect those floors!

If you do not properly deal with old walls before giving them fresh paint, they will show every mark, bump and divot, and that fresh paint won’t be as pleasing to you or your eyes.

Now the question is, what color are you going to choose?
