Fire retardancy was also enhanced the total heat release and CO generation values decreased by 21.9% and 68.4%, respectively, when compared with that of solely NP-treated wood. Results demonstrate that the combined treatment hardened the surface of wood and reformed the interface combination of the NP with the wood cell wall, thus making the surface tissue more close-grained. This combined treated wood is investigated via vertical density profile (VDP), and the compression stability is revealed by both soaking test and cone analysis. They have served me and my family well for a long time now and it’s worth the extra five minutes of driving to patronize their store, as even though there are closer places, there are none better.To enhance compression stability and fire retardancy of densified wood, a new modification method i.e., combined nitrogen–phosphorus (NP) fire retardant pre-impregnation with surface thermo-mechanical densification is used to fabricate a certain thickness of functionalized surface layer on poplar. Mike’s Hardware has been, is now and forever will be my local hardware store of choice. Furthermore, they also repair gas space heaters, which is a good service to have in New Orleans. They are also a large glass dealer and carry Florentine glass and can even cut specialty patterns. Other specialty services include screen repairs and custom screen manufacturing.

They carry a full line of pipe, fittings, valves, and accessories for PEX, PVC, ABS, copper, galvanized, black iron, brass, vent, and more.
Mike’s is also your go to place for plumbing supplies. Mike’s hardware can match most any color by eye or via computerization using their Datacolor data flash DF-100. The top of the line eggshell enamel provides excellent coverage and good “scrub ability”. I can personally vouch for this paint as I have used it after having purchased it here. Mike’s is one of only a handful of Devoe paint dealers in the city and they offer a full line of paint and sundries. The LaFleur’s have a staff of 5 full time professionals working with them and they are all neatly attired in a Mike’s Hardware uniform shirt. Mike still stops by frequently to “hold court” over operations somewhat like a Chairman of the Board. Mike officially “semi” retired in 2012, so sons Rob and Lee are now running the day to day operations. In fact, they were the very first business to reopen in Gentilly.
After Hurricane Katrina exacted her assault on New Orleans, Mike’s Hardware reopened in just 6 weeks, and they were the first hardware store to reopen, even though the staff all had damaged homes as well. But on a serious note, if there is something they don’t have, they will definitely point you in the right direction to assist you in acquiring it. And it’s rare that they don’t have an item you are looking for. Their motto is “If we don’t have it, you don’t need it”. Mike’s specializes in hard to find hardware items. But most important is the personalized service you receive as soon as you walk in the door, as everyone is enthusiastically greeted and treated as if they are a valued customer even if it’s their first visit to the store. The key to their success is multi-faceted. I guess you can say that hardware is truly in their blood.įast forward 33 years and you’ll see that Mike’s Hardware continues to flourish and are holding their own in a city with multiple locations of national chain hardware stores. In fact, when most kids were playing on playgrounds, Rob and Lee could be found inside the store playing but all the while gaining valuable insight on the hardware business. Mike and his family actually lived upstairs from the store for nearly 10 years, so it was only natural that his sons Rob (aka The Colonel) and Lee took an interest in the hardware business. Mike’s Hardware opened for business back in 1981 and was founded by Mike LaFleur.
#Datacolor Dataflash 100 Driver update#
My original review for Mike’s Hardware back in 2011 was in my “novice Yelp period” as a newbie, therefore I feel it’s necessary to update my review and give them a more appropriate review.
