Summary: Your investigation leads you back to Cyberlife, and you leave with more questions than answers masterlist ✩ ao3 ✩ wattpad ✩ previous chapter ✩ next chapter ✩

Your boots click against the tile floor as you lead Gavin through Cyberlife. It’s nice to be back in familiar territory, even if the circumstances for your visit are less than ideal. You lead him to the engineering department— a buzzing hub of activity that reminds you of the DPD. Various engineers are huddled over their computers, typing rapidly or working on androids that are undergoing maintenance. Many androids sit in various glass rooms in differing states of disrepair with robotic arms working steadily on their insides. You continue walking down the main hall and head towards the workshops of the head engineers. 

You rap your knuckles on the glass pane of the door to the workshop of interest and a muffled voice tells you to come in. You spare a glance over your shoulder at Gavin, who looks completely unenthused to be there, before pushing the door open and entering. 

Dr. Matthew Hayden is a lanky man wearing glasses that are probably older than you are and a button-up shirt that’s two sizes too big. He hunches over the mangled form of an android and a metallic smell tinges the air. 

“I was beginning to wonder when you were going to venture into my neck of the woods,” he says as his gaze stays transfixed on his work. His tone is controlled, almost as if every word he says is deliberate. 

You share a look with Gavin, who shrugs his shoulders. “I was wondering if you could give us some more information about the androids that have been showing up lately,” you begin, and he sets his tools down and faces you. 

He clasps his hands in front of him, “Do you know how hard it was to get the DPD to send over an android so I could look over it?” He throws his hands up dramatically, “You would’ve thought I was asking for a human corpse with the way they were grilling me!” 

You grimace and Dr. Hayden chuckles. 

“Have you been able to find anything?” you ask as you peer around him to look at the android he’s working on. 

His gaze lingers on you for a moment before he steps to the side to let you look at the android. Your stomach churns as you scan her face. She was the first. 

Dr. Hayden peers over your shoulder and sighs. “It’s a shame someone would waste such a beautiful piece of technology,” he pauses for a moment and clicks his tongue. “Although, it’s not too much of a waste. They took the most important parts and did mostly cosmetic damage besides the missing limbs.” 

“That’s what we came here for,” Gavin interrupts. “What could the parts that have been taken be used for?”

Dr. Hayden straightens, almost as if he forgot Gavin was there. He clears his throat and grabs a nearby datapad. He’s silent for a moment as his gaze darts across the screen. “Well, it’s mostly biocomponents, which help sustain normal functions. There are also advanced processors, which could be used to modify an existing android’s cognitive abilities.” 

“Could these parts help someone create their own android?” you question as you look up at Dr. Hayden. 

His eyes flick between you and Gavin before he sets his datapad down. He crosses his arms and strokes his chin thoughtfully. “Hm, I hadn’t thought about that, Doctor. I suppose it’s possible. They would probably need to find the parts for the skeleton and outer parts, but it wouldn’t be difficult for anyone with advanced engineering skills to assemble one. Hell, we have an entire dumpsite for android parts they could scavenge!”

You heave a sigh. This just got a lot more complicated. 

You hold out your hand, “Thank you for your time, Dr. Hayden. The information you’ve given us has been very insightful.” 

He’s quick to clasp your hand in his own and give it a shake. “It’s been my pleasure, Doctor. Anything to help with your investigation, plus I’ve been eager to meet the person I’ve heard so much about.” 

You furrow your brows and force a laugh, “All good things, I hope.” 

He chuckles, “It’s mostly just talk about your work with the DPD. It’s not something Cyberlife has done before, and people are curious about how it’s going to turn out, especially with all these androids showing up like they are.” 

“Well, hopefully, we can solve this case and catch whoever is destroying the androids,” you declare as you inch toward the exit. 

“Good luck, Doctor. I have a feeling you’ll need it,” Dr. Hayden sighs. You nod in acknowledgment as you leave his office, grateful to be away from the suffocating smell of thirium that filled your lungs.

You lead Gavin toward your office, and you walk in silence as you go over your encounter with Dr. Hayden in your mind. 

“I don’t trust him,” Gavin grunts as you reach the solace of your office. You assume your normal seat at your desk and furrow your brows. 

“What? Why?” 

Gavin shrugs, “Dunno, just have a bad feeling about him.” 

“You’re gonna have to give me a little more than ‘bad vibes’ as a reason,” you chuckle. 

He rolls his eyes, “There was just something about his behavior. It seemed off.” 

“Maybe he’s just a bit quirky,” you hum. 

Gavin shoots you a glare, and you can’t help but laugh. What starts as a few chuckles quickly turns into full-on laughing so hard your eyes water. Gavin quickly joins you, and soon enough the both of you have tears running down your cheeks and your chests heaving as you try to catch your breath. 

You wipe your eyes as you take a deep breath, sighing a little as your gaze lands on Gavin sitting across from you. He leans his head back and stares up at the ceiling. A comfortable silence falls between the two of you as you take in his features. He’d taken off his jacket as soon as he entered your office and placed it on the back of his chair, allowing you to take in the way his uniform hugged his shoulders. 

“It’s rude to stare, sweetheart,” he smirks. 

You rest your head in your hand, “How the fuck are we going to solve this? It seems like this person is always one step ahead of us, and they’re getting bolder with each passing day.” 

Gavin leans forward in his chair and meets your eyes. “We’re gonna catch them, sweetheart,” he says and you almost believe him.

FOXTAIL

— two lovers being blissfully domestic while living in the countryside of france 🪴

——

LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE

The melodic humming of his wife faintly echoes throughout the greenhouse kitchen, her voice hidden under the more pronounced noises of glass jars clinking together and the faucet running.

As Harry hunches over the granite countertop and gingerly trims the miniature bonsai tree he proudly helped grow, his ears tune into Nadine's movements. He's acutely aware of the soft padding of her slippers against the tiles and the slight graze of her robe against his sweater vest whenever she passes by. It's as if she's some soundless angel who doesn't like to make her presence known yet can't help but enthrall everyone with her heavenly poise.

He will often glance up while snipping away with his garden shears and follow her figure as she gracefully floats around the kitchen and pickles various vegetables that will eventually be donated to the orphanage on the outskirts of town. The cucumber she's currently slicing is from one of his many gardens on the property. They are Harry's pride and joy. He plants abundant seeds every season, then tends to the soil and sprouts until he can harvest them. Their primary use is to be thrown into either jars or on dinner plates, resulting in whatever his wife wishes to cleverly concoct.

"Nadi, can you please fill this up for me?" Harry asks, fidgeting with the fragile pump of the plant mister in his hand.

In a second, she's by his side, carefully taking the empty glass bottle from his grasp. "Hot or cold water?"

He smiles dotingly at her lack of knowledge about succulent maintenance. She has more expertise relating to culinary uses for fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, while he takes care of the botanical aspect.

"Lukewarm since we've had sunny weather lately," he replies as he checks how dry the compacted soil in the pot is. "Thank you."

She nods and heads to the sink, turning the handle to the left. Harry pauses what he's doing and admires how her smooth, bronzed skin and silky black hair glimmer in the natural light pouring through the greenhouse panels. He often finds himself wanting to splay his hands on every part of her warm body and let his ceaseless love seep into her, sweet and absorbent like caramel drizzle on a dessert. Whenever she innately reacts to his touch, it melts him into a puddle of molasses the same color as the deep pools of her irises. And when the sun hits her brown eyes just right, he becomes entranced. She's his saccharine daydream.

Once Harry is satisfied with the trimming of his beloved bonsai, he moves on to the second task he planned to finish this morning. A woven basket sits beside him on the floor, holding a bundle of eucalyptus and myrtle leaves he broke off from the trees in the front yard. He had already cut a piece of gold wire to form the brittle blades around it, but he didn't know where to go from there. He wants to make a leaf crown for Nadine. However, he's never attempted a crown with leaves before, only with the lily of the valley and jasmine flowers he grows by the windowsill in their bedroom. The two white blossoms represent femininity and sensuality, a perfect blend of his wife's soul.

"You are standing so still, lover," Nadine says, setting down the filled plant mister. "What are you doing? What are those leaves for?"

"You ask too many questions," he teases with a prolonged kiss on her forehead.

She frowns halfheartedly. "Laisse-moi entrer dans ton jardin de secrets."

Harry's neck flushes from the way she effortlessly switched languages. "Seulement si tu me laisses entrer dans ton pot de secrets," he murmurs against her temple, jerking his chin toward her glass jars, all neatly arranged in a row.

"I'm making pickled cucumber and carrot salad for lunch since I have leftover scraps," she says enthusiastically.

Running his fingertips through her hair, he twirls the short strands and says, "I'm making a leaf crown for you."

"Why?"

"Why not? Are you worried it won't be as good as the ones the kids make you at the orphanage?"

Nadine doesn't answer and just stands on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around his shoulders to pull him down for a slow kiss. Harry exhales blissfully and relaxes in her hold, placing his hands on her waist and moving his mouth against hers. He could kiss her lychee-colored lips for eternity if possible.

When she separates her lips from his with a wet pop, Harry begins swaying her to the mellifluous lullaby from the summer birds and wind chimes outside the greenhouse. He grabs her left hand and interlocks his fingers with hers, his other hand tenderly cupping her cheek. A sunrise dance happens frequently, whether it's in the kitchen, bedroom, or garden. Most of the time, they don't even involve music or the ambiance of nature; just their hushed voices and synchronized heartbeats fill the space.

"Are you planting anything new today?" Nadine asks quietly.

Harry smears another kiss on her lips. "Just some arugula and parsley."

What she doesn't know is that yesterday, while she took a trip down to the valley by herself, he planted her a bed of foxtail lilies in a concealed flower bed behind the tall grape trellises. He precisely calculated when they would bloom into tapered pink and yellow spikes so they could be her birthday surprise when late spring rolled around.

Nadine tilts her head to the side and smiles dreamily. "Can I watch you do it?"

"I'll let you if you smoke with me in the bath later."

She raises her thick eyebrows. "You want to get high before noon?"

"My body will be aching from crouching, and I want to relax before your family visits tomorrow."

"Of course, mon chéri."

Harry hums contently and strokes the pad of his thumb across her plump bottom lip. "Let me finish your crown, and then you can ogle at me in the garden, oui?"

——

"Sacré bleu, Nadi!" Harry shouts dramatically when she walks through the patio door, completely nude.

Her curves and soft skin look ravishing under the European sky, and the sunbeams gloriously cast upon every stretch mark and blemish. He notices she's wearing his misshapen leaf crown from where he sits naked in the outdoor bathtub, reading yesterday's newspaper with a lit joint perched between his fingertips. Thankfully, no neighbors can see them in their vulnerable state since the backyard is closed off with a high wooden fence shaded by clustering chestnut and poplar trees.

Nadine gasps and kneels next to the tub, stealing the joint from him and taking a quick hit. She beautifully exhales two rings of smoke before saying, "You started without me."

"Pardonne-moi, ma reine," Harry says lowly as he flings the newspaper onto the grass and grabs her wrist to help her into the warm water. He plucked some red petals off the nearby rose bush to let them float on the surface, and he also brought out some bars of natural soap that Nadine had handmade with excess fruit peels and herbs. She's craftier than him, but he thinks they make a good pair. He grows the plants, and she makes use of them.

Nadine's back meets his bare chest, and every muscle in his body instantly eases with the pure and healing touch of her skin. He spent hours in the sunlit garden planting autumn seeds and sneakily tending to the foxtail lilies, so the tendons in his shoulder blades feel inflamed and his hands are decorated with new calluses. The dirt under his fingernails had been scrubbed clean while he waited for Nadine, yet there were still scrapes and aching muscles he wanted her to take care of. He's not embarrassed to admit that he likes to be babied by her.

"I brought your razor and shaving cream," Nadine tells him, setting the two objects on the edge of the tub.

Harry's lips pout with confusion. "For you or for me?"

She turns in his arms to face him, bending her legs crisscross applesauce style. "You, miteux."

"Translation, please."

"Scruffy," she whispers, like it's confidential.

A whiny laugh escapes his mouth. "I thought you liked it," he drawls, stroking circles onto her hips.

"It's too itchy when you kiss me." She takes another hit before passing the joint over to him.

"Like this?" he asks before leaning forward to rub his cheek against hers and puckering multiple kisses against her skin, making a high-pitched laugh bless his ears.

"Oui, like that!" she expresses through giggles and a wide smile.

He lightly nips her jaw and murmurs, "What do I get in return for letting you shave my face?"

Nadine chews on the inside of her cheek, her dark eyes dancing over his entire body. "I think," she says while placing a wet rose petal on his collarbone, "you know exactly what I'll give you."

Harry swallows, his eyes fluttering shut. "Is that right, my darling?"

"That's right. You need to behave right now, though, or I might nick you."

"What a shame that would be, hmm?" His hands flex on her hips. "Can't go ruining my pretty face."

She cups water in her palms and pours it over the petal on his skin until it delicately falls off. "Your reflection in the bathwater is turning you into Narcissus."

"That's funny, considering your crown makes you look like Echo," he says, tucking a loose eucalyptus leaf under the wire. Are you going to start repeating everything I say?"

"No, but I'm obsessed with you like she was.

Who knew mythology could be so erotic? Harry feels his cock throb and harden as he softly kisses her neck and mumbles, "Such a sweet girl."

Nadine has an amount of self-control beyond comprehension because she suddenly scoots back and picks up the razor and container of shaving cream without another word. She begins applying a layer of the foamy cream to his scruff, spreading it on his neck and Adam's apple.

After inhaling from the joint, Harry blows the smoke toward the afternoon sky and casually rests his arms on the tub's edge as his wife shaves the stubble above his lips. She looks adorable with a concentrated furrow to her eyebrows and her tongue poking out slightly. Her body leans close to him, the curve of her breasts touching his chest and the tip of her nose grazing his own every so often. Her unoccupied hand tilts his chin to the side so she can work on his cheek. The soothing nature of her movements and the warm water engulfing his sore body feel more delightful than the weed that permeates his lungs and senses.

"Don't fall asleep on me, moonflower."

Harry's eyes blink open and blearily focus on her. He didn't realize he had nodded off. A lazy smile makes its way onto his face when he sees her eyes rimmed with red from the joint she apparently took for herself while he wasn't paying attention.

"Tu me rends le bon genre de somnolent," he replies with a slur of impeding tiredness.

Nadine washes off the remnants of shaving cream on the right side of his freshly smoothed cheek. "You ramble such nonsense when you're high," she says, quickly finishing shaving the rest of his face. "Excusez moi. I'm not high… yet."

"You are. Know how I can tell?"

Harry settles his hands on her thighs. "Humor me, sunflower."

"I know because you are hard, and I haven't even done anything yet," Nadine whispers in his ear.

She's not Echo; she's the goddess of love. His Aphrodite, ironically surrounded by rose petals and wearing a crown adorned with myrtle leaves, sets the razor in a safe place under the tub and then straddles his thighs. She knows exactly how to make him putty in her hands.

Extinguishing the lit end of the joint in the water, Harry flips his palms up in invitation and says, "Do your worst, dove."

——

The euphoric high reaches Harry's fingertips as he touches the blades of grass he lies on. To the touch, they feel as soft as a cloud. To the eye, they are feathery and verdant.

The blue and white striped shirt he put on after the bath warps due to his spinning mind, the lines bending and blurring until they make his eyes cross. He and Nadine went through three joints each. Maybe four. Either way, the aftermath of sex while high and then proceeding to get higher has Harry feeling like he's levitating outside of his body. Although he can't complain when Nadine lies beside him, laughing infectiously over something he doesn't remember saying mere seconds ago.

"What did I do?" he asks, his speech slower and more drawled from the weed that passed his tongue.

"You were going on about"—she pauses for a moment to regain her breath—"your dream that you had last night."

"Oh." He rubs his eyes and begins giggling over whatever is making her so happy. "Where did I… what part did I leave off at?"

"The part where, apparently, our thirty nonexistent children were blooming in the garden, and they were all wailing so much, but the only way to get them to stop was to water them."

"Shit, that's right. What a bizarre dream."

Nadine reaches over and pinches his stomach. "Could you imagine having to take care of thirty children? Oh, mon dieu!"

"We could do it," he says with faux confidence. "Babies are sort of like plants, right?"

She snorts and replies, "I would rethink that statement."

He's thinking ahead and can't stop the thought from crawling across the crevices of his brain like scandent stems. "One day, we'll have little snap peas running around the garden," he muses, the words sounding far away when he speaks them.

"Snap peas, like bébés?" Nadine asks for clarity.

Harry looks over at her, his heart melting like candle wax at the innocence that laces her question. "Oui. Tant de bébés."

"Where is my say in this?" she asks with a prod to his sock-covered foot.

He smirks, rubbing his eyes again. "You have all the say in the world, dove. Just tell me when, and I'll drop everything for you."

"When what?"

"When you're ready for bébés."

He sees it. He wants it. He needs it. He feels a deep yearning for the possibility of them having Nadine's eyes of maple syrup and heart of sweet honey. If they'll laugh in three caught breaths like her and have her lustrous hair, or if they'll cackle obnoxiously like him and inherit his wild curls. He'd like either outcome. A lot.

"I think I will be ready in the spring," Nadine says. "I do not want to be pregnant in the winter."

"How come?" Harry murmurs, dizzily rolling over and nuzzling his face into the velvety skin of her stomach, which is exposed below her cropped tank top.

"I don't thrive in the cold, so it would be a living nightmare for me," she says, tilting his face upwards. "And I wouldn't be able to show off my baby bump if it was cold all the time."

"Nadi baby," he says while letting her poke his dimples, "do you realize that if you get pregnant in the spring, you'll be ready to pop during wintertime?"

"I can't do math when I'm high. Too many months." She uses her strength to switch positions and lie on top of him, squishing his cheeks—her favorite thing to do. "But you have to promise me a bébé in the spring."

He hooks his right pinky with hers and says, "The foxtail lilies should be in full bloom by then. They'll be our good luck charm."

He didn't mean to say that out loud, and now he just utterly ruined the surprise. Damn those three or four joints.

"Hmm? Foxtail?" Nadine bemuses, tracing the slope of his nose with her pointer finger.

Sighing to himself, he knows there's no faultless way to dig himself out of the hole he created. "For you," Harry says shyly. "I planted a bed of foxtail lilies for you that will hopefully bloom in time for your birthday."

She goes silent, spreading her hand on his cheek and parting her lips. Harry wishes he could have kept the details of his romantic gesture locked away in his conscious mind, but the way she's looking at him right now makes the mistake worth it.

"My heart," she whispers sweetly, pressing a long and tender kiss to his lips. "My love. You did that for me?"

"It was supposed to be a surprise," he says with cheeks the color of the peonies by the patio.

"Hey, listen. Don't fret about it, all right?"

"Okay. Oui."

Nadine rests her head on his chest. "Oui."

"Oui, oui, oui," he repeats with a ticklish breath in her ear during each staccato syllable.

"T'es chiant," she grumbles, pushing his face away.

Harry cradles the back of her head, resting his chin on top of it and soaking in her presence, which she graciously allows him to cherish. What a wonder to be able to hold a daydream in his arms.

Idyllic paintings could be inspired by her ethereal face and figure, especially when accented by her smile in the sunshine. She could be sculpted and hidden at the back of the most grandiose museum, yet Harry would always find her under the spotlight. She bears fruits of devotion that are seductive and sweet between his teeth, seeds from pomegranates and nectarines coated in aphrodisiacs.

His goddess of love will soon be surrounded by a bountiful bed of foxtails, and if the spring season is kind to him, little snap peas will grow alongside it.

checking out miles42's room and oh, his lil hanging plant near the window.....

imagining the wealth of funeral flowers the morales family gets after his dad's death. miles can't stand them, he hates that they're the only pastels in the apartment and their scent churns his stomach.

worst though are the house plants they're gifted. intended to be low maintenance, great distractions, some bit of pretty life among all the grief. rio tries to take care of them at first; she likes the look of their painted pots and setting a watering schedule is easy enough. routines are good, and the greenery does make her smile when she leaves her bedroom alone in the mornings. but then she needs to take on more hours at work, and eventually they blend into the background of the apartment, forgotten.

miles refuses to do anything with them.

when their leaves turn yellow he plucks them off so he doesn't have to clean them off the floor later. when nothing is left but withered brown twigs he takes the pot out onto the fire escape just so he can hear the terracotta shatter when he drops it into the dumpster below. the plants start disappearing one by one, and the apartment slowly returns to what it was before—or at least, a poor imitation of it, where there were no greens of various plant life scattered about but a home still filled to the brim with his dad's life. miles starts climbing the fire escape higher, pretends that the shatters from this height are louder than the grief in his own heart.

it takes him four months of mami overworking herself to realize that there's a pot of ivy that still has green leaves.

it was shoved into the corner of the kitchen window that would've been a hazardous spot if his mom was actually using the kitchenware in the cupboard next to it. but she's barely been able to cook lately and miles definitely doesn't have the kind of skills to use what's in there, so the plant was left alone, miraculously thriving on the sunshine streaming through the window. miles only notices it because his abuela is visiting and he accidentally steps on a few leaves on a vine that's grown long enough to brush the ground when he's ushered out of her way during dinner prep.

his appetite vanishes. the phantom scent of sweet decaying lilies and carnations and all the other ugly pastel flowers chokes his throat. he thought he had finally be rid of all of them, and seeing this one still left standing rears something ugly in his chest.

it's his abuela who coaxes him away from grinding his foot into the leaves, smashing them into the tile, she who says that starving something of love will always be a terrible thing to know. all four burners on their stove are going, the oven has just finished preheating, but she takes the time to fill a cup with water, gives it to him, and compliments him on keeping this small thing alive, when funeral flowers are notorious for not surviving.

it's miles who quietly moves the plant into his room that night, and he learns the rights and wrongs about repotting, sunlight, and watering.

(and, at one point, pests. but he also learns how to overcome that, even if it was an insanely annoying experience turned inside joke with ganke)

the ivy had fared well enough on its own, but it's miles who makes it happy. his hands that make it grow thicker and longer and livelier, until he needs to start tacking its vines up along the window sills to spread its greenery around. this one tiny thing no longer tiny that depends on him, that has learned he will be good to it. he did that.

miles did that.

—

later, when designing his first prowler suit, the purple accents are for his mom, a subtle nod to her favorite color. because he's trying to bring good back into his community, stepping up to do whatever he can to forcibly relinquish some of the sinister six's control over his city, but he's also fighting for her.

and the green details—there's not as many, or as prominent as all the neon purple, but he feels they're just as important to add.

What are Patios?

If you’ve ever wanted to make the most of your outdoor living area, adding a patio is one of the best ways to create a functional, stylish, and relaxing space. But what exactly is a patio, and how can you customize it to fit your needs? Whether considering a brand-new installation or upgrading an existing one, understanding patio options—including patio enclosures—can help you design a comfortable and durable space.

Understanding What Is a Patio?

A patio is an outdoor area, typically adjacent to a house, designed for relaxation, entertainment, and dining. Unlike a raised deck, which is often made of wood, patios are built at ground level and can be constructed from various materials such as concrete, stone, pavers, or brick. They provide a versatile foundation for outdoor furniture, fire pits, and even outdoor kitchens, allowing you to extend your indoor living space into the open air.

Key Features of a Patio:

Ground-level construction: Typically built directly on the ground without requiring a supporting structure.

Varied materials: Can be made from concrete, natural stone, gravel, or even tiles.

Customizable designs: Shapes, sizes, and finishes can be tailored to match your home’s style.

Low maintenance: Unlike decks, patios don’t require regular staining or sealing.

Why Choose a Patio for Your Home?

A patio is more than just an outdoor extension—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Here’s why adding or upgrading a patio can benefit you:

Enhances outdoor comfort: A well-designed patio creates a cozy outdoor space for relaxation or entertaining guests.

Boosts home value: A stylish patio can increase property appeal and resale value.

Extends living space: Ideal for dining, cooking, or even setting up a small outdoor workspace.

Low upkeep: Unlike lawns, a patio requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking great year-round.

Enhancing Your Patio with Patio Enclosures

If you want to enjoy your patio in all seasons, patio enclosures can provide the perfect solution. They transform your open-air patio into a sheltered space that protects you from insects, harsh weather, and excessive sun exposure while maintaining an outdoor feel.

Types of Patio Enclosures:

Screened-In Patio Enclosures – Keeps bugs and debris out while allowing fresh air to circulate.

Glass Patio Enclosures – Provides a weatherproof environment with great visibility.

Retractable Patio Enclosures – Offers flexibility to open up the space when desired.

Aluminum or Vinyl Framed Enclosures – Adds a more permanent structure with durability in mind.

Benefits of Installing Patio Enclosures:

Weather Protection: Enjoy your patio year-round without worrying about rain or strong winds.

Bug-Free Zone: Keeps mosquitoes, flies, and other pests out.

Energy Efficiency: Glass enclosures can help trap heat during colder months.

Privacy & Security: This creates a more private space while adding an extra layer of security.

Choosing the Right Materials for Your Patio

When planning a patio, selecting the right material is essential for durability and aesthetics. Here are some common options:

Concrete: Affordable, durable, and highly customizable with stamped or stained finishes.

Pavers: Available in various colors, shapes, and materials, offering a polished look.

Natural Stone: Gives a rustic, high-end appeal but can be more expensive.

Brick: A timeless choice that provides charm and excellent durability.

Gravel: A budget-friendly option that offers easy drainage and a casual look.

Each material has pros and cons, so consider factors like maintenance, climate, and budget when choosing.

Adding Functional Elements to Your Patio

To make the most of your patio space, consider adding features that enhance both comfort and usability:

Outdoor Furniture: Choose weather-resistant seating and tables to create a cozy lounge area.

Fire Pits & Heaters: Extend patio use into cooler months with a warming element.

Outdoor Kitchen: Install a grill, countertop, and storage for easy outdoor cooking.

Lighting: String lights, lanterns, or built-in LED fixtures create ambiance and improve visibility.

Shade Solutions: Pergolas, umbrellas, and retractable awnings provide relief from the sun.

How to Maintain Your Patio for Longevity

Regular maintenance ensures your patio remains beautiful and functional for years to come. Here are some essential upkeep tips:

Sweep regularly: Prevents dirt buildup and potential staining.

Seal surfaces: Helps protect against water damage and fading (especially for concrete and pavers).

Clean spills promptly: Avoids staining on stone or brick surfaces.

Inspect for damage: Address cracks, loose pavers, or other issues before they worsen.

Winter protection: If you live in colder climates, cover or store outdoor furniture and clear snow from surfaces.

Welcome to our blog post dedicated to transforming your garage into a durable and stylish space with garage floor flakes. Whether you're looking to improve the functionality of your garage or simply enhance its aesthetic appeal, understanding the options available can make a significant difference. Garage flooring has come a long way, offering a range of solutions from basic concrete to advanced coatings that are both resilient and visually appealing. 

Garage Floor Flakes

When considering options for enhancing your garage space, garage floor flakes offer a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution. These small pieces of colored materials are designed to be mixed into floor coatings, creating a textured finish that not only looks great but also provides additional durability.

One of the main advantages of using garage floor flakes is their ability to hide imperfections in the concrete surface. They can effectively camouflage stains, cracks, and chips that are often found in older garage floors. This means a cleaner and more appealing look without the need for costly surface repairs.

Additionally, garage floor flakes contribute to the slip resistance of your flooring. The texture created by the flakes makes it safer to walk on, reducing the risk of slips and falls, especially when the floor is wet or oily. This safety aspect, combined with the visual appeal, makes garage floor flakes a popular choice for many homeowners.

Garage Flooring

When considering your garage, the flooring is often an overlooked aspect that plays a crucial role in the overall functionality and appearance of the space. Choosing the right garage flooring can enhance durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance. Common options include epoxy coatings, tiles, and interlocking mats, each with its own set of advantages.

One of the most popular choices for garage flooring is epoxy, known for its resilience and ability to withstand heavy loads. An epoxy coating can transform a dull concrete surface into a vibrant, high-gloss finish that not only looks great but also resists staining, chemicals, and impact. Additionally, it can be customized with decorative garage floor flakes for a unique look that hides imperfections and provides extra texture.

In addition to epoxy, tiles and vinyl can also be effective alternatives. Garage tiles are easy to install and replace, making them a flexible choice for those who might want to change their garage flooring in the future. Vinyl options offer a softer feel underfoot and come in a variety of designs that can mimic other materials. Ultimately, the best choice of garage flooring will depend on your specific needs, preferences,

Floor Coating

When it comes to enhancing the appearance and durability of your garage, floor coating is an essential element to consider. This process involves applying a protective layer over the garage floor, which not only improves its aesthetic appeal but also provides a robust defense against stains, spills, and wear and tear. By investing in high-quality floor coating, homeowners can ensure their garage remains a functional and attractive space for years to come.

Various types of floor coatings are available in the market, including epoxy, polyurethane, and polyurea options. Among these, epoxy coatings are particularly popular due to their exceptional strength and resistance to chemicals. Moreover, the variety of colors and finishes available allows for endless customization, enabling homeowners to create a garage environment that suits their personal style and needs.

In addition to aesthetic benefits, an effective floor coating can significantly increase the longevity of your garage flooring. It creates a barrier that prevents moisture and dirt from penetrating the surface, thus minimizing the damage that could occur over time. Ultimately, whether you use your garage for parking, storage, or as a workshop, investing in the right floor coating can transform the space, making it more durable and visually appealing.

Garage Floor Coating

When it comes to choosing the right solution for your garage floor, garage floor coating offers an innovative way to protect and enhance the aesthetic of your space. Unlike traditional flooring, which can deteriorate over time due to spills, stains, and wear, a high-quality coating creates a resilient layer that withstands the rigors of everyday use.

One of the benefits of a garage floor coating is its ability to be customized to fit your needs. Various options, such as epoxy and polyaspartic coatings, can provide different levels of durability, gloss, and color. This allows homeowners to select a finish that not only meets their practical needs but also reflects their personal style.

Installation of a garage floor coating is typically a straightforward process, but it is essential to ensure proper preparation and application. A well-prepared surface will maximize the adhesion of the coating and significantly extend its lifespan. Therefore, it’s advisable to either follow proper guidelines for DIY projects or consult with professionals who specialize in flooring solutions.

Lyle jolts awake. He looks around, his heart racing, but the room around him is plunged in darkness and silent, save for the faint hum of the life support systems and Querl’s breathing next to him. He rubs at his eyes and steadies his breathing. Whatever woke him up appears to be long gone. Or, he thinks as he slips down from the bed onto the cold metal floor, maybe it never was at all. It wouldn’t be the first or even tenth time he’s done that.

He slinks out of the bedroom area of their quarters, making sure to close the door behind him as he enters the strangely under-dimensioned living room area. It’s smaller than that of the other living quarters and seems to have been furnished by someone who only has a vague idea of what a living room is supposed to be, which is to say, there’s one chaise longue in there, shoved up against a wall like an unwelcome gift from a far off relative. At moments like this that’s a blessing, because in the pitch dark of the room it’s hard enough to make out the walls, much less any individual piece of furniture. He holds his breath and listens. Nothing. Not a single strange sound. 

This is stupid. Or, no, it’s paranoid. Maybe both. Stupid and paranoid and the product of years of conditioning he didn’t even understand the gravity of at the time. Random night drills, staying awake for days at a time, every sense of security being stripped away from them all until they were too affected to even sleep through the night properly. They’d all been going through it then, and it had seemed so normal. He sighs, a heavy breath rolling out of his chest like a lead weight. 

The yellow, automatic light in the bathroom stings his eyes even at the dimmed night setting. He squints and tries to avoid looking directly at it, feeling somehow even dumber as he takes in the predictable emptiness. It’s just a white-tiled stretch of nothingness occasionally dotted by various toiletries and towels. Mostly his, at this point, since Querl apparently fell into the “why do I need more than two products” hole at an early point in his life. He’d felt a bit weird about it when they’d first started sharing a living space, like he was imposing what he’d never before thought of as a particularly high maintenance lifestyle on a space that wasn’t really his, and overstepping what was at the time a not totally solidified arrangement. He’d eventually asked Querl about it and found out that he’d barely thought about it at all, that he simply considered it their space from the start. Unlike the lab, Lyle had asked, earning an eye-roll in lieu of any real response.

Lyle convinces himself to skip the lab this time. The newly upgraded security system should do a much better job than he ever could and it feels like a break-in in the lab, if nothing else, would be enough to raise Querl from the near-death state he seems to enter whenever he’s asleep.

He makes his way back to bed, walking by memory rather than whatever little night vision he’d had before he’d entered the bathroom. The bedroom is still calm and quiet. He lies down carefully and pushes away a warm, errant arm from his side of the bed before settling down properly. Querl shifts next to him, a shallow sigh interrupting his otherwise calm and steady breathing. He’s probably still splayed out in a position that makes Lyle’s back ache by mere thought alone, but he’s at least doing it on his side of the bed. And he can’t truly fault Querl for sleeping well when he knows what the alternative looks like. They’ve had bad nights before, often after equally bad days, and he’ll take a hundred nights of interrupted sleep over that. Sleep pulls at him as soon as he closes his eyes, stretching out and fading away any further thoughts into oblivion.

How to Choose the Right Mosaic Tiles for Your Home

The sun was barely peeking over the horizon when I set out on my mission. Armed with a cup of coffee and a newfound determination, I was ready to tackle the daunting task of choosing the perfect mosaic tiles for my home renovation project. Little did I know that my visit to a tile shop in Singapore would turn into an enlightening adventure, filled with discoveries that would transform not just my home, but my entire approach to interior design.

The Overwhelming World of Mosaic Tiles

As I pushed open the door of the tile shop, I was immediately engulfed by a kaleidoscope of colors, patterns, and textures. Mosaic tiles of every imaginable variety lined the walls and floors, creating a dizzying display that left me both excited and overwhelmed.

"First time choosing mosaic tiles?" a friendly voice asked, cutting through my bewilderment. I turned to see Sarah, the shop owner, smiling knowingly at me.

"Is it that obvious?" I laughed, feeling a bit sheepish.

"Don't worry," Sarah reassured me. "By the time you leave this tile shop in Singapore, you'll be an expert in choosing the perfect mosaic tiles for your home. Let's start with the basics, shall we?"

Understanding the Basics: Material Matters

Sarah led me to a display showcasing various types of mosaic tiles. "The first step in choosing the right mosaic tiles is understanding the different materials available," she explained.

We examined glass mosaic tiles, their surfaces gleaming under the shop lights. "Glass mosaic tiles are perfect for adding a touch of luxury and light to any space," Sarah noted. "They're great for bathrooms and kitchens because they're water-resistant and easy to clean."

Next, we moved on to ceramic and porcelain mosaic tiles. "These are the workhorses of the tile world," Sarah said. "Durable, versatile, and available in countless designs, they're suitable for almost any area of your home."

Finally, we looked at natural stone mosaic tiles. "These bring a piece of nature into your home," Sarah explained. "They're unique and add warmth, but require more maintenance than other types."

As I ran my fingers over the different textures, I began to appreciate the unique qualities of each material. The choice, I realized, wasn't just about aesthetics, but also about practicality and lifestyle.

The Color Conundrum: Setting the Mood

With a better understanding of materials, we moved on to the next crucial aspect: color. "Color can make or break a space," Sarah said, gesturing to a wall of mosaic tiles arranged in a mesmerizing color gradient.

"Think about the mood you want to create in each room," she advised. "Cool blues and greens can create a calming atmosphere in a bathroom, while warm terra cottas and ochres can make a kitchen feel cozy and inviting."

Sarah showed me how to use color wheels and mood boards to create harmonious color schemes. She also introduced me to the concept of using neutral mosaic tiles as a base and adding pops of color through accent tiles.

"Remember," she added, "light plays a crucial role in how colors appear. Always take samples home and view them in the actual space before making a final decision."

Size and Pattern: The Art of Visual Impact

As we delved deeper into the world of mosaic tiles, Sarah introduced me to the impact of size and pattern. "The size of your mosaic tiles can dramatically affect the perception of space," she explained.

We looked at tiny mosaic tiles, no bigger than my thumbnail, and larger ones the size of my palm. "Smaller tiles can make a space feel more intricate and detailed, while larger ones can make a room feel more spacious," Sarah said.

She then showed me how different patterns could create various effects. "Herringbone patterns can add a sense of movement, while basket weave patterns create a more structured look," she explained, demonstrating each pattern with sample boards.

"Don't be afraid to mix and match," Sarah encouraged. "Combining different sizes and patterns of mosaic tiles can create stunning, unique designs."

Practical Considerations: Beyond Aesthetics

As our tour of the tile shop in Singapore continued, Sarah emphasized the importance of practical considerations. "Choosing the right mosaic tiles isn't just about looks," she said. "You need to think about durability, maintenance, and safety too."

We discussed slip resistance for bathroom floors, stain resistance for kitchen backsplashes, and durability for high-traffic areas. Sarah introduced me to concepts like the Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI) rating for tile durability and the importance of choosing the right grout.

"And don't forget about your budget," Sarah added. "Mosaic tiles can range from affordable to luxury prices. But remember, there are clever ways to use more expensive tiles as accents while using budget-friendly options for larger areas."

Bringing It All Together: Creating Your Vision

As our journey through the tile shop neared its end, Sarah had one final piece of advice. "The key to choosing the right mosaic tiles is to have a clear vision for your space," she said. "Think about how the room will be used, the overall style of your home, and how you want to feel when you're in the space."

She encouraged me to create a mood board, combining tile samples with fabric swatches, paint colors, and images of furniture and decor. "This will help you see how everything works together and ensure your mosaic tiles enhance your overall design," she explained.

The Journey Continues: From Tile Shop to Home Sweet Home

As I left the tile shop in Singapore, my head was spinning with ideas and inspiration. What had started as a daunting task had turned into an exciting journey of discovery. I had learned that choosing the right mosaic tiles was about more than just picking something pretty – it was about creating a harmonious, functional, and personal space.

Armed with samples, a mood board, and newfound knowledge, I was ready to transform my home. The mosaic tiles I chose would not just cover my floors and walls; they would tell my story, reflect my style, and create the perfect backdrop for the life I wanted to live.

So, if you find yourself standing at the threshold of a tile shop, feeling overwhelmed by the world of mosaic tiles, remember this: every tile tells a story. Your job is to find the ones that tell yours. Happy tiling!

The Benefits of Mosaic Floor Tiles for Commercial Spaces

First impressions matter, and this is especially true for commercial spaces. The moment customers or clients walk through your door, the flooring sets the tone for the entire experience. While traditional floor options can get the job done, mosaic floor tiles offer a unique opportunity to elevate your space, adding a touch of sophistication, durability, and functionality – all in one!

Mosaic floor tiles are not your average tiles. These tiny tesserae, meticulously arranged in captivating patterns and colors, create stunning visuals that can transform any commercial space from ordinary to extraordinary. But beyond their undeniable beauty, mosaic floor tiles boast a range of benefits that make them a perfect choice for high-traffic areas:

Durability Underfoot

Commercial spaces see a lot of foot traffic, and the last thing you want is flooring that shows wear and tear easily. Mosaic floor tiles, particularly those made from ceramic or stone, are incredibly durable. They can withstand daily wear and tear, scratches, and even chips, making them ideal for busy lobbies, hallways, and retail spaces.

Slip-and-Fall Prevention

Safety is paramount in any commercial space. Mosaic floor tiles come in various slip-resistant materials, providing a secure surface underfoot, even in wet areas like entrances or restrooms. This helps to prevent slips and falls, minimizing the risk of injuries and potential lawsuits.

Easy Maintenance Champions

Maintaining a clean and attractive floor is crucial for any business. Mosaic floor tiles are champions of low maintenance. Their small size minimizes grout lines, which are notorious for harboring dirt and grime. Regular cleaning with a mop or broom is all it takes to keep your mosaic floors sparkling clean.

Moisture Resistant Champs

Spills and splashes are inevitable in some commercial spaces. Mosaic tiles, unlike some natural stone options, are highly resistant to moisture. This translates to less worry about water damage and mold growth, ensuring your beautiful floors stay that way for years to come.

Beyond the Basics: Design Versatility with Mosaic Floor Tiles

Mosaic floor tiles offer endless design possibilities, allowing you to create a space that reflects your brand identity and desired atmosphere. Here are some inspirational ideas:

The Welcoming Entrance

Make a lasting first impression with a stunning mosaic tile entryway. Opt for a geometric pattern in warm, inviting colors to create a sense of professionalism and warmth. You can even incorporate your company logo or a welcoming message for a personalized touch.

High-Traffic Haven

For busy hallways and corridors, consider a mosaic tile pattern that uses darker colors and a more linear design. This creates a sense of flow and direction, while also helping to hide dirt and grime buildup in high-traffic areas.

Retail Therapy Boost

Elevate your retail space with mosaic floor tiles that complement your brand aesthetic. Consider playful patterns or pops of color to create a visually engaging shopping experience for your customers.

Luxury Redefined

Mosaic floor tiles can add a touch of sophistication to office lobbies, conference rooms, or high-end retail stores. Opt for intricate patterns in luxurious materials like marble or glass mosaic tiles for a truly impressive look.

Finding the Perfect Mosaic Floor Tiles for Your Business

With a vast array of materials, colors, and patterns available, choosing the right mosaic floor tiles for your commercial space can feel overwhelming. Here are some tips to get you started:

Consider the Function of the Space

The needs of a high-traffic hallway will differ from a luxury boutique. Choose mosaic floor tiles with the appropriate level of durability and slip resistance for the specific area.

Explore Material Options
