Cali Bamboo Debuts Fall Collection of Solid, Click Lock Strand Flooring


San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 06, 2012

From Cali Bamboo, the green company with the hardest floors in the world, comes a new collection of solid, click lock bamboo floors. The seven new floors include click versions of three customer favorites — Natural, Java and Espresso, and introduce Coffee and Distressed varieties of Natural, Mocha and Sienna. All click lock flooring is wide-plank, making installation faster and more uniform.

The click lock design snaps floorboards together, allowing for an easy floating installation. This technique requires no nails, glue or staples and is especially ideal for do-it-yourself homeowners. With the absence of glue, installers also cut down on cost, mess and fumes.

Cali Bamboos Click Lock collection features solid planks of 100% bamboo. This is in contrast to most other click lock bamboo floors on the market — made of engineered wood with a thin layer of bamboo overlaying a plywood base. In its August/September 2012 issue Hardwood Floors magazine, a publication of the National Wood Flooring Association, published that although properly made material is usually fine, its much more difficult to make a reliable engineered bamboo than it is to make a reliable engineered hardwood. Flooring planks that are solid bamboo all the way through are more uniform and boast the same strength and durability as other Cali Bamboo

Ecko Unlimited Releases New Batman T-Shirt Collection


New York, NY (PRWEB) June 22, 2012

The Batman t-shirt collection from Ecko Unltd. revives the classic comic logo wear with an infusion of Ecko attitude. Rather than the traditional minimalist Batman style that s been seen many times before, the line utilizes bright colors and boasts Ecko signature techniques including gel printing, carbon coating and 3D texturing.

Inspiration for the Batman T-Shirts Collection

This first release from the Batman collection features designs that help connect the feel of the classic Batman brand, the existing Ecko aesthetic and current trends in t-shirt design.

One design, the Ecko Wham t-shirt, helps clearly mix the classic comic vibe seen by Batman fans for decades, while making use of in your face graphics. The Vandal Signal t-shirt design features the well known bat signal, incorporated with the classic Ecko graffiti and rolled paint look.

The Blood Bath t-shirt design visits the twisted violence that Batman deals with on a daily basis. Its a plain white layout with Batmans face staring outward, surrounded by blood spatters and a blood soaked Ecko Unltd. logo. This design, alongside the Carbon Coated t-shirt, are made with the Dark Knight Rises movie in mind and reflect the films theme.

The next release of the Batman t-shirts, the Dark Series, depicts the darker side of Batman, his struggles, depression and feelings. Hes the only superhero that fights crime without the aid of a superpower, which is reflected in the look of this upcoming series.

Matt Black, Ecko lead designer, said: “The t-shirts mix current trends with the classic comic vibe showing a new side to the well known dark hero. The t-shirt designs stay in line with the theme of the new movie and the classic Batman feel; giving Batman fans the opportunity to get psyched about the line, the release of the latest film and Ecko’s involvement.”

The t-shirt collection is available here: http://unltd.is/MiNV31

The Solow collection for FP Movement is not only fashionable, but also functional and sustainable. Three of the styles are made with Eclon, a Solow branded, top performance, and eco-friendly fabric.
