Ready to Serve

There are various functional types of carts, hand trucks, stands, and trolleys utilized throughout Hotels and Motels, to conviently tranfer items around. Such movability also allows quick carriage, stacking, and storage for guests, staff, and contractors, e.g. cleaners and event management personel. This can include for food service, laundry, garments, office equipment, waste sorting and other products and tasks. Various shapes, size, styles, features, load capacities, and composition, are incorporated for it's intended use. Perhaps since the early use of english antique oak style butler trolleys, they generally have a prime use: To serve - either yourself or others.

Whether if shopping, serving meals, personal luggage transport, mobile filing and work stations, utility carts, and moving or housing electronic multimedia, there will be a wheeled, shelfing or rail unit to suit. Many styles are manufactured or supplied in New Zealand to suit. You need of course select a suitable trolley for it's role, and if for repeated wheeling, perhaps durabilty or heavy duty features would be important. Other features such as stackability, foldability, extensibilty, retractability, appearance, dimensions, and finish need be considered. Perhaps seek advice from suppliers, and/or research specifications other hotels and relevant venues to observe what they use.

Bridging Finance NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Tue, 03 May 2011 09:01:00 +0000

Bridging finance is available in NZ from financial suppliers, such as banks, mortgage brokers, and investment companies, to provide a short to medium term funding generally for property financing. Both investment and commercial property development can be undertaken with bridge type loans if traditional longer term loans, and circumstances are unsuitable. Examples include quick funds for business capital, more flexibility for certain used building purchases, and likelihood of simple and faster process for property trading and auctions. Sale Image by svilen001.

Business Operation
Commercial bridging loans can be adapted to better bridge the gap between buying a new property (e.g. with a motel) and waiting for a sale on existing property. Hence payments from a loan can be distributed for example, on the lease on the current. But also used for related costs - including for the newly purchased property or business. This loan availability for distribution can be important, if there is an overlap in timing of selling/buying of the two properties or business. Until the current is property is sold, and/or the new property is generating profitable business, external finance helps by preventing any monetary issues and to remain in a seamless transactional business mode.

Finance Purposes
In addition for financing property and business, bridge finance can be used specifically for -
- Property expansion/refurbishment - Increase business assets (e.g. apartments, motel units) and for personal home.
- Property Projects - Development for commercial, industrial, and residential homes and units.
- Business Capital Injection - Temporary or short term funding for business needs.
- Land Acquisition - For potential business schemes.
- Auctions - For purchase of property or small business.
- Cash-flow disruption - Urgent cash to ease or control monetary management within a company.
- Investment - Help prevent a missed opportunity by quickly buying established for sale units to rent or accommodate clients.
- Tax Payments - Easily finance any unexpected tax liabilities for your business.
- Pending sale of a family/personal home and purchase of a new residence. This can involve cash out clauses, unconditional offers, vendor obligations, and settlement or indefinite finalized dates, and open and closed finance.

Flexible Choices
Commercial Lifeline has produced a basic bridging finance guide (pdf) to help understand what is involved. Because of competition amongst lenders, and a variety of financing options including for bridging finance, perhaps consult an experienced mortgage broker or financial adviser. Doing so may well help explore options, to plan a suitable finance package that is relevant to your needs and any related business transactions.

Plastic Food Containers NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 05:45:00 +0000

Lunch Box Meal

Storage, presentation, distribution, and customer service of food in the hospitality industry is an important and perhaps regular function performed by employees. Whether for motel kitchens, rest homes, hospitals, cafeterias, restaurants, food distribution/transport, personal room service, and Hotel events, then storage, delivery, and direct presentation of meals in quality manufactured plastic containers is important overall. This can include best practice guidelines in terms of reuse, recycling, health and hygiene, promotion and marketing initiates/campaigns from authoritative agencies, food preservation and protection, not only within any one business but the industry at large, including manufacturing and the supply chain involved with plastics.

NZ Organizations

Organizations such as Plastics New Zealand, and Sustainability NZ, are useful resources for current and future development in regards to plastics. This can include recycling, environmental life cycles, training, future technology and other information. For example the Plastic Identification Codes for different plastics such as Polypropylene and Polyethylene indicating their common food applications and subsequent recycled products. The NZ Packaging Council, another resource web site also has information on recycling, waste strategies, education, with related information to other agencies, such as: Beverage and Juice Association. NZ Trade and Enterprise, Paperboard and Packing, and Ministry for the Environment.

Consumer food safety, guidelines, auditing, certification, latest trends, research, industry news, training, and standards, are also important. Informational web sites such as the Food Works Directory, Standards NZ, and NZ Food Safety Authority can be resourceful avenues.

Container Types and Composition

Food and liquids can be stored or served in a range of plastic designed containers, styles and shapes (bins, crates, pottles, bottles, lidded small box, clam shell, hinged lids, round, rectangular, etc), sizes, end use (e.g. for bulk bin chiller storage, pallet movement/strapping, microwave heating, freezing, vented, stackable, etc) and material types, blends, and co-polymers. This includes High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE).

There are also Bio-Plastics material, e.g. Polyactic Acid (PLA). These are made from starch based produce, e.g. corn or sugar cane, which are renewable resources. Thus materials made from plants rather than oil, to produce eco friendly Bio-Polymers. NatureWorks LLC in the USA, produce innovative plastics from their green chemistry Bio-refinery manufacturing facility.

Technical Information

Perhaps search online for product/brand name, or general search for product, data/properties, and material/chemical specification and application sheets for various plastics. Often available in PDF download files from major industry distributors and petrochemical/petroleum producers, e.g. Plastics International has a spec sheet for LDPE. Global producers such as Exxon Mobil, Ineos Group, Dow Chemical, and Reliance in India may have a download section for their raw materials, i.e. plastics, polymers, co-polymers, and any related brand names.

Promotional Pens NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 12:47:00 +0000

Pens, Pens, for You

Promotional products or merchandise are a significant marketing tool for businesses, including hotels, motels, lodges, and holiday resorts. Universal items such as pens, apparel, caps, glassware, torches, drinking mugs, lighters, lanyards, and stationery supplies, have long been utilized for brand awareness, advertising, and company recognition for customers, clients, suppliers, and staff. A survey by LJ Market Research conducted in the USA on business travelers, has shown that about 75 % of participants could recall the advertiser or company from promotional products from the previous 12 months. But yet only about 50 % could recall an advertiser from printed media in the last week, as published in this report (PDF) from PPAI (Promotional Products Association International). Image of Pens by buzzybee.

Impact, Awareness, and Exposure Marketing

Effective use, i.e. marketing or advertising of products, including pens can achieve at least few desirable aspects:
- Keep customers aware of your business name when they travel or on the move
- Exposure to potential customers at trade shows, expo's, conventions, public events, including motel or hotel functions
- Customer and Staff awareness, appreciation, and loyalty, e.g. included in gift packs for regular (or even new) customers and staff
- Display and maintain corporate identity with image building (e.g. re-branding), in relation to other company services, divisions, and/or parent companies.

Pens still have a place in our digital society, since people have and still use them, particularly in business and corporate environments. But being creative with various pen colors, brands, styles,shapes, composition, logo's, and graphics can have a effect, or at least a impression on potential customers. Particularly in combination with other marketable products, such as stationary and office items, gourmet gifts, party and event suppliers, that can include batteries, mugs, key tags, wristbands, and many other branded universal personal use items.

Water Cooler NZ Suppliers

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 08:15:00 +0000

Water Coolers are perhaps becoming common in New Zealand homes, businesses, venues, and within the hospitality industry including restaurants, motels and hotels. Suppliers of cooler units are perhaps meeting and improving this demand which include various unit styles, capacities, rental and service options, best practice energy and environmental process systems, ISO certification, recycling and eco-energy initiatives, free customer trials and accessories. All this for one of the world's most common and relatively free element's: - H20 - nothing but...Water. Image of water glass by Art Mast.

But really, as we well know water is important, always has been and always will be, for basic human needs: including health, cleanliness, enjoyment, entertainment, and of course industry and human survival. Not surprisingly there are various Government, authoritative, legislative, and research companies with programs, resources,and standards relating to water for a range of public beneficial use: - quality, availability, public and personal health, compliance, treatment, hazards, disinfection, testing, resources, filtration, distillation, osmosis processes, food safety, energy reduction, reclamation, recyclable methods and much more.

*Involved are local government agencies (e.g. NZ Ministry of Environment (MOE), NZ Ministry of Health (MOH) (http://www.moh.govt.nz/water), which has resources including PDF documentation relating to Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Camplyobacter, Dental Health and Fluoride, Household Water Supplies, Water Grading, e.g. description of UV disinfection and cartridge filtration.
*Also the database for The National Water Information System New Zealand (WINZ) and other informative and authoritative sources such as Drinking Water for NZ (http://www.drinkingwater.org.nz/), ESR (Environmental Health and Research), Water testing based on IANZ (http://www.ianz.govt.nz/). Also infomation at Health Ed NZ (http://www.healthed.govt.nz/). Such Government agencies can implement and fund technical training assistance programmes, record approved water test laboratories, and approve/register transport carriers.
*World organizations and regulatory agencies: (e.g. In the United States - FDA, WPA, DOE, Energy Star, IBWA (International Body Water Association), and the WWO - The World Water Organization).

Water, a vital element seems to have been elevated in status (or perhaps re-focused prominently) as a healthy, clean, and pure medium to consume. Therefore globally their are an abundance of water cooler and related industries. Without doubt, water cooling and heating units allows us to enjoy with health benefits when drinking filtered water. Not only water by itself, but with other ingredients such as health electrolytes, beverages, soups, coffee and tea.

NZ has quality chilled water bottled companies with various water unit types or systems, styles, sizes, dispense volume, sanitary maintenance, rental plans, delivery replenishment, accessories, recyclable methods, and so on. Perhaps review NZ water cooler companies online to evaluate which has the most and favorable options to suit your needs, what best practice the company utilizes, what relevant information can be provided (e.g. certified food grade or filter testing processes, cooler specifications, etc), including environmental or energy friendly methods, and if relevant and up to date certificates are available for inspection.

Water cooling units seem to generally operate similarly, but being power and digitally controlled, can quickly upgrade with more enhanced features and accessories, e.g. improved contaminant and potential toxin filtration removal. It would be wise therefore to do company research, seek advice (i.e. contact a company), and perhaps arrange a demonstration and trial period.

Vacuum Cleaners NZ Suppliers

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 21:46:00 +0000

Selecting and investing in a suitable vacuum cleaner either for domestic, commercial, and industrial use, is an important and perhaps confusing decision. But fortunately within New Zealand their are many online stores that supply a vast range of models, types, accessories, expertise, and service to suit even demanding vacuum and specific cleaning requirements. Image of vacuum cleaning by Rissmu.

To help select a cleaning solution you may want to consider specific cleaning needs, particularly in a large hotel, several adjacent apartments or motel rooms, and exterior surroundings such as garages, carports, and driveways. Hence, with a little research, you may be better informed of what be an ideal vacuum cleaner or alternative cleaning solution for maximum efficiency. Some factors and features to consider could be...

Manufacturer's Brands

There are many to select from, so perhaps research or seek professional advice for specific requirements. Major or popular brands include Hoover, Dyson, Sanyo, Nilfisk, Panasonic, Electrolux, Kirby, Beam, Miele, Eureka, Oreck, Bissell, and others.

Vacuum Categories

Suction types can include back pack canister, upright, horizontal, dust extractors or central industrial units (e.g. for renovations, motel extensions), and commercial vacuums (e.g. larger motor size or suction capacity)

Vacuum Category Types

Within vacuum units are particular attributes, such as extraction capacity, central systems, bag-less, motor size, ergonomics, hand held (including cordless and rechargeable), filtration techniques (e.g. the hepa filters to help protect or reduce allergies to asthma and allergies), optimized turbine and power systems (can include patented technology such as the Radix Cyclone system for Dyson models).

Also hygienic quick particle disposal, telescopic wrap systems, combination accessory tools (e.g. for upholstery, hard floor and car cleaning) with crevice nozzles, recycled material in construction, high performance energy efficient motors (including a range of wattage outputs, e.g. from 1000W. Additionally wet and dry models, variable suction control, thermal cut out switches, "power" multi row brushes, carpet shampoo cleaning, and "green" range models. But of course overall ease of use, maneuverability, navigation, noise output (i.e. decibel rating for quietness level), cost, and ease of storage are significant factors.

Vacuum Selection - Floor Care

Selecting the most suitable or adaptable cleaning machine also depends on the type of flooring, design (e.g. stairs) and object surface material (e.g. for fabrics, linen, stains, and wet areas). Floor types include...

Wooden Floors

Use of hard floor heads, with soft and long bristles that do not scratch or mark the floor boards. Mopping, including steam mops, and power steam cleaning machines can easily clean and shine hard floors.

Carpets

Turbo, turbine and motor head driven vacuums can easily clean deeply in to dirty carpets, removing dirt, particles, and dust effectively. Some units provide shampoo cleaning for maximum cleanliness with certain models.

Tiles and Lino

Cleaning can be easily effected with standard vacuum floor heads, using steam mops, and specific models for spillage and stains.

Upholstery

Vacuums with specialized tools and attachments are effective, as are hand held vacuums to easily access between lounge suite cushions, bed linen, and recessed or spot touch cleaning, such as lamp shades, drapes, curtains, coffee tables, and draws.

Landscape Product Supplies NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 00:39:00 +0000

Landscape products used with professional design or detailing can enhance or beautify a garden or surrounding appearance around the home and commercial venues such as motels and hotels. To achieve an attractive and functional outdoor area generally requires skillful planning, implementation, and coordination of elements, such as colour, form (e.g. plant shape), scale (or proportion), texture (plant foliage surface appearance quality), and line (i.e. visual flow of plant groups, trees, and objects to define their borders). The aim generally might be to combine or complement these elements and their respective landscape products to create a overall balance or unified theme.

Landscape materials have a overall design function, and if applied correctly, perhaps in relation to outdoor fixtures (e.g. lights or swimming pool) can help achieve that overall theme. Though of course, it would be wise to seek professional advice or to browse web sites like Landscape Design NZ and the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects and other sites for information. There are many and varied landscape products, and NZ suppliers to select from, that offer professional assistance for outdoor design and gardening ideas.

For example their are various mulches for weed and moisture retention, aesthetics and decoration, related materials, it's interaction with soil types, how, when and where to apply, specific areas (e.g. play grounds, gardens, paths), optimum cubic volumes, and so on; This can include organic or inorganic: bark (type, size, shape, thickness), gold colored, dark brown, synthetic, wood chips, shells, grass clippings, woven ground cloth fabric, pebbles, stones, rubber, gravel, black plastic and other products.

Outdoor Furniture NZ Suppliers

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:21:00 +0000

Outdoor furniture serves as a functional and perhaps a designer or stylish enhancement, around homes, street cafe's, and hotel - motel courtyards. Within our New Zealand summers, and population relatively close to beaches, including coastal motels, outdoor furniture has a prominent role to keep us seated, relaxed, to converse, entertained, and of course to eat. For the outside, furniture is synonymous, to many NZ's, with awnings, shading, BBQ (Barbecues), swimming, and party functions and services. Image of Outdoor Furniture by abudiman.

But for selection their are various styles, material construction, accessories, surrounds (e.g. landscape, patio, swimming pool, etc), perhaps requiring optimum planning placement to achieve a practical, balanced, ideal setup for customer, family or friends. This can be important for a very large party and outdoor events such as Weddings, Christmas, and end of year work employee gatherings. But important to select quality and suitable furniture even for a handful of customers, for a established hotel, as comfort would be a determining factor for customer satisfaction. Fortunately NZ suppliers can supply a range of tables, relaxers, loungers, chairs, and more to accommodate a user's needs.

Awning NZ Suppliers

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 10:45:00 +0000

Hotel Awning

Awnings can feature prominently in both domestic and commercial venues and large outdoor events, including for Hotels, Motels, Cafe's, Restaurants, Bars, Concerts, and Sporting Events. Their main purpose, similar to an umbrella, is to protect from diverse or near extreme weather conditions. But can also serve as a signage advertising medium, and as an attractive enhancement to a Hotel or Business building. Thus an awning creates a shade, similar to blinds, for cooling against heat on hot summer days, and as a barrier or shelter against rain and wind during diverse weather. Such canopy and covers also protect against dirt, dust, fumes, excess moisture, mildew, and importantly, for reduction of sun burns and it's side effects, against harmful UV radiation from the Sun. Image from flickr.

Awnings come in various shapes, colours, styles, types, and cover materials, e.g. laminated fabrics, polycarbonate, polyester, woven acrylics, with plastic, metal or aluminum structures for support. This can include for hotel door entrances, small windows, large sliding doors, walkways, verandas, open courtyards, and umbrella style covers. Styles include fixed, portable retracting units, and open pole placement, often around motel swimming pools, and as upright covers for outdoor table and chair furniture settings.

Large outdoor events such as weddings, birthday parties, sometimes held at accommodation premises, might display large awnings or cover shades. Often a combination of various suppliers and their products and services, such as event management, catering companies, wedding planners, promotional products, party and gourmet gift items, entertainment apparatus, outside furniture, and outdoor lighting, all revolve around and within awnings, or the old terminology "tarp" covers, almost as a central network. In this respect an awning, and related cover shades, can function as a important and prominent feature for a social gathering.

To determine specific office and business equipment, perhaps create a listing of essential and also preferred items in a categorical database.

Banner Stands NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 07:39:00 +0000

Banner stands can be incorporated in New Zealand Hotels for business conferences, trade shows, exhibitions, seminars, advertising, birthday or wedding occassions and general corporate events. Portable tensioned roller or retractable and static banner stands are important features for ease of setup, instant visibility and mobility to achieve a balanced themed set up for any hosted event.Larger banner stands might include a interlock or telescopic setup, supports, and lighting system for maximum professional appearance and swift easy set up.

But it's not only in set up of display stands, but also the general theme, concept, or even art, logo or graphic illustration to project what the event, presentation or exhibition is about. This may include additional items - e.g. modular furniture, suitable lighting, visual and audio equipment, seating arrangement, and other item to really enhance an event. And if outdoors, then suitable weatherproof banner stands and equipment have to be considered, perhaps with a professional event management company, and hotel or motel management.

But it's important to work alongside with graphic designers for creating or printing banner stands, so as to create a clear concept or message that displays your company (e.g. a motel business). It's about creating an effective show piece image in a simple but important manner to potential customers, staff, and stakeholders for your business event.

Dining Suites NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:10:00 +0000

Dining Suites, or table and chairs, which include various styles, sizes, shapes, functional use, and construction materials are widely available in various New Zealand stores. Dining furniture are also manufactured locally, and also imported for commercial supply within NZ. For purchasing suitable dining tables and chairs, perhaps consider what type of dining furniture would be suitable. For example whether for a large family or small restaurant, bar (stools) , hotel wedding, or conference. Image of restaurant scene by c_mackow at sxc.

Perhaps some features to consider...

Table Features
* Total Furniture Pieces
- Often 3, 4, 5, up to 20 or so. This includes the table and accompanying chairs.
* Material used for table
- Wood top - e.g. Rimu, Pine, Rubberwood, or Walnut, and imported timber table tops
- Glass Top (perhaps with chrome frame and legs) - can be clear, opaque, stained glass, or black,
- Laminated or composite table tops.
- Slate or marble top
* Table Shape and Size
- Oblong, Circular, Square, or Curved. Typical size for rectangular tables might be 150 cm x 90 cm, 180 cm x 100 cm, or 210 cm x 100 cm.
* Overall Style and Design
- This could be the standard small pedestal or square and rectangular legged tables. Also foldaway, extendability tables, accompanying draws or trays beneath, art deco tables, coloured themed tables, and other styled designs.

Chairs and Stool Features
* Materials
- Wooden, composite (e.g. fabric), Glass, Plastic, Padded Vinyl, Cane, and more
* Shape and Function
- Scallop, L shaped, upright high or low back, full back support, framed, single pedestal support, frame support, or standard 4 legs, adjustable (height, tilt back and base, etc), castor wheels, foldaway, gas lift, and stack-able.

Table Layout and Combination Table Setup
- (Visit restaurant Table Layout at http://www.restaurantlayout.com/)
It's important to consider overall layout of tables, shape and styles, and what shapes should be mixed for placement within a restaurant, or outdoor eating/banquet area. For example, spacing between opposing chairs (i.e. back to back), and between table ends would need be considered and implemented to allow sufficient movement of clients and staff in regard to the overall size of the restaurant, lighting, degree and type and level of customer activity (whether large or small groups of diners, or others drinking in a nearby bar, and proximity of adjoining food serving areas).

Dining Accessories
Dining table accessories can easily add decorative and functional aspects for hotel/motel clients when dressing up a table. Whether for family or personal meals, business conferences, weddings, special occassions it is important to set the tables and surroundings suitably. This can include -

*Lighting - Suitable candles in metal holders, 3 to 6 piece candle holders, small or large, etc, to add a special significance. Also adjacent room lighting styles, ambiance, brightness, may also be considered in relation to the occasion.
*Linen - Includes colour, styles, and patterned table cloths, along with place mats, coasters, and napkins, to add to the occasion and could be seasonal or theme based.
*Food and beverage receptacles, and related accessories - The functional serving items to eat and drink from. Items include platters, trays, jugs, elevated bowls, dispensing sets, butter dishes, salt and pepper shakers, condiment, gravy, and sauce jugs or boat servers, and other related serving items. Placement of dining/eating items is important to allow easy access for diners, perhaps using a symmetrical layout for a long table or a central balanced pattern for a smaller table.
*Decorations - Party, birthday, wedding themes for example would require slightly different items, such as decorative cards, gifts, banners, gourmet foods, etc. to be set up on the table. Their are many NZ party suppliers and NZ gift suppliers to select from online.
*Central Table Position Items (Center piece) - Often most dining tables have center piece items relevant to an occasion. Anything from flowers in a vase for two person meal, to a large elevated food platter or cake for large or theme based functions. Again planning is required for customer satisfaction, and sometimes may involve additional center piece items along the table, or additional tables with another arrangement of center pieces.

Ready and Custom Made Curtains NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 23:02:00 +0000

Easily enhance a motel, hotel, or your home, with ready made curtains, when decorating, or renovating, with affordability and convenience, from a huge and varied selection available online in NZ. Perhaps achieve a designer or fashionable appearance with curtains, it's accessories, and immediate surroundings such as furniture, blinds, colour, lighting, and general decor. Curtain style, colour, fabric choice, length, are all important to produce a appealing, functional, and practical environment. By carefully combining, fabric choice, texture, colour, trims, within a curtain's make up can produce an appealing and professional overall appearance. Image of feel the breeze curtains by elbandito.

Some specific curtain or drape features to consider would be -

Curtain Design Type

* Shower curtain - whether if decorative, colour, single, double, or plastic
* Thermal lined curtains - insulation properties to retain heat, and to block out sufficient sunlight
* Pleated - e.g. French or Pencil pleat (can extend or gather or non extend)
* Grommet or Eyelet top curtains - to easily slide along the rod.
* Casement or panel curtains - often set semi permanently with tie back
* Net, Sheer, Sun filter type curtains - commonly used to filter out light, are often cream or white, and can be used alone or with main curtains. net curtains can include patterns (embroidery), and different shades of white, and thickness, e.g. coarse or fine.
* Hour glass styled curtains - used on french doors, to allow easy reach to open, but also allowing sunlight to transmit
* Kitchen and cafe styles - The familiar two piece or split curtains or nets used in kitchens and cafe's to allow viewing from inside.
* Decorative Curtains - Styled "drops" or swags, tails, rosettes, scarf drapery, and more(often seen in lavish stage performances). But I have seen in hotel conference ball room and large function centers.
* Specialty Curtains - e.g. Sash, Under, Tie back, Tiered, Portieres, etc. Used as separate function to the main curtain when combined.

Curtain Accessories

These add function, form, and even design decoration to curtains. Accessories include -

* Trims - Often quality, intricate decorative bands, and include cords, laces, and ribbons.
* Tie backs - Used to simply tie back curtains, and can be quite decorative, e,g. large pattern twisted cords, beads, or twine.
* Hold Backs - Generally fixed rigid handle/arm to retain the curtains, similar function to tie backs.
* Tracks, Rods, and Finials - Metal painted/powder coated or plastic to hold up curtains, and can be decorative with patterned finials attached to the track ends. Finial shapes include curled shapes, hook shape, arrow, colonial style, and much more for aesthetics looks.
* Valance - Familiar short curtain along the top, often to conceal the track/rod. Valances can also be attractive in terms of design and pattern (e.g. pleated, gathered, braid, or ribbon) and can include the French pleated valance or Balloon style valance often seen in large hotels.
* Pelmets - Rigid "head" panel piece to cover along the top of curtains, and also the top window frame. Can also prevent "top" light from transmitting, and the pelmet can be blended or incorporated in design as a decorative addition around the ceiling - and curtains - and total interior design.

Rugs NZ

noreply@blogger.com (Profile - pcsourcepoint) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:44:00 +0000

Rugs in New Zealand Motels can easily present look and feel, warmth, charm, beauty and enhance the decor, such as furnishings, art, furniture, and general interior surroundings. But their are many important rug attributes or features that should be considered when purchasing an area rug. For the discerning motel or hotel management, then such attributes should be ideally sought after from NZ Rug distributors, importers, and suppliers. Image of Persian rug by Nauman

You many want to think about what attributes and features are required from a rug such as -

Art decor value - History and timeliness -Practical (wear resistance) e.g. for stairs, lifts, entrance areas, bedrooms - Area size, shape, design, thickness, density.
To help consider rug selection, perhaps the following attributes -

Size
- from small to large either in imperial or metric units - e.g. as inches (length x width) as 2' x 3', 5' x 8', 10' x 13', 13' x 20' or specified in meters as 0.5 x 1.0, 2.0 x 2.50, 3.0 x 4.0, 0r 4.0 x 6.0.

Shape
- Includes familiar shapes such as rectangle (straight or rounded corners), oval, round (circular), "runner" (long with short width) - common for stairs, or along a bar floor; square, and odd shapes (e.g. octagonal, hexagonal, etc)

Colour
- To suit it's area placement and surroundings; Also consider contrast between a rugs border and background colour, of which it's pattern may have a colour effect, in addition to any surrounding lighting.

Videos of Selecting and Home Cleaning a Rug

Selection	Centrifuge Rug Cleaning

Style and Origin
- The interaction of color, design, motifs, country of origin (authenticity) can produce a rug's personality or character. This is evident in well known centuries old rugs such as Persian, Tibetan, Oriental, European, Indian, native American, and many others.

- Patterns
Many rugs are presented with lines (e.g. design logo's), curves, and pictures or a blend of those 3 general categories. Thus linear, curved linear (curvilinear), and pictorial representations. These can range from simple to complex patterns.

- Layout
This is the interaction or arrangement of objects, motifs, that present the design. Complete coverage of motifs would have a overall effect (and layout). Also there is a one sided and medallion layout. Perhaps a commercial 3d layout patterned rug may emerge one day.

- Pile (Materials)
Wool, Cotton, Silk, are commonly used for weaving hand made rugs. New Zealand produces quality woolen rugs and carpets. Silk (e.g. from Iran or China), with a fine appearance, is expensive and used in blends.

- Weave, Knots, and Foundation
These features can define a rug's craftsmanship, or specifically it's skilled hand made rug maker. Hand tuft, pile and flat weaves are commonly used, with different knot types within the loom, and also with vastly different knot densities. The knotting process includes a intricate array of warps and wefts, to skillfully create a rug. Some rugs could take a few years to build individually. Hence their are symmetrical to asymmetrical knots, also Persian and Tibetan knots. Knot types can add to value, along with other factors to an overall area rug.

Manufacture and Age Features
- Rugs can be machine manufactured and hand made rugs are produced from different scenarios - nomadic, villages and work shop. Even very old antique rugs would have value, different from semi antique and contemporary designer style rugs. Master work shops produce quality artistic rugs - certainly a grand asset for a large hotel or institution for example a museum.

Commercial insurance like commercial loans is an important investment for NZ motels and hotels, for security against unpredictable and unfortunate circumstances. Disasters and hazards like fire, landslips, tornado's, and severe building damage can create havoc for the entire property, management, staff, profitability, and their potential clients, for business sustainability or survival. Securing insurance will prevent overall severe risk to a hospitality business, the owner, investors, shareholders, and staff. Therefore it is important to insure against potential risks, and to seek and understand your insurance policies. This can also include measures and systems to prevent or reduce theft, such as securing confidential documents, computer system security (e.g. using firewalls, anti-virus software, secure laptop storage), security cameras and safes. The Insurance Council of New Zealand has advice, including for liability, disputes, indemnity insurance, emergencies, NZ legislation (law reform acts), and other aspects.

Insurance Policy factors to Consider

* specific contract - e.g. property, building, personal, staff inclusion, or insurance "packages"
* Your Hotel/Business structure - Whether if a joint venture, partnership, privately owned, or global hotel chain
* repayment strategies - fixed or incremental interest rates, revolving credit, weekly/monthly repayment, restructuring (e.g. if expanding or upgrading a motel)
terms and conditions, renewal
* Motel location - proximity to known risk (or potentially) areas, e.g. rivers, mountains, etc
* Liability and compliance policies - relevancy, extent, and including the insurer's, your employees (e.g. lost time for sickness, injury, or bereavement leave), public liability (important - perhaps for security related issues), product liability (safety, health, food, liquor, and hazard related), Directors and Management liability, any past debt repayment history or claims
* Professional Indemnity - e.g the extent and conditions provided to you the motel owner from a insurance adviser. Hence if claims are initiated, then may need to understand any potential issues, related to the indemnity terms and conditions.

So there are important concepts to collate, comprehend, and implement, and best performed by an experienced or professional and registered commercial insurance adviser. Perhaps visit relevant online insurance related sites, particularly about regulation, and general policy advice. NZ sites include ICNZ, related law commission and regulation Government sites, hospitality, industry, related network and professional online sites, e.g. MANZ (NZ Motel Association), NZHC (New Zealand Hotel Council), HANZ (Hospitality Association of New Zealand).

You may want to compile a quick list of questions to consider for insurance protection and possible resolutions such as -

* What is the current overall property value? Could it change significantly and affect premiums?
* What is the outcome if the business cannot fully operate or if only in part?
* What about transport insurance scenarios for transporting customers?
* What's the best route to pursue for any complaints?
* Do key staff require specific insurance from other staff?
* Are their new or changed risk related areas? Could they be improved and how can that affect insurance repayments?
* Should I have a range of schedules to review factors that could alter insurance premiums?
* Will the insurance company inform of any changes in policy, general regulation, or other wise in a timely manner?

However their are NZ commercial Insurance banks, agencies, brokers, and corporations to choose from that should offer protection. But it's a matter of selecting cost, suitability, and flexibility, for a professional insurance package that can be easily managed, without undue stress should any significant unforeseen event should occur. Below are a directory style list of insurance companies to consider for that all important risk preventative protection measure to implement.
