*VOC: Volatile Organic Compounds are the solvents in conventional latex paints that evaporate easily at room temperature — the stinky stuff. VOCs contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer as well as poor indoor air quality.

Elasticity

Dust Resistance

Seamless Covering
JaDecor is a loose fiber material troweled on in a continuous plastering process. There is never a seam.
Durability
JaDecor has a longer lifespan than any comparable wall treatment. Damaged areas can be easily repaired by the homeowner.

Wine Cave in Fallbrook, Ca


Drager Design Studios was selected to create a faux atmosphere in a newly built wine cave just north of San Diego.

What was once a mound of dirt atop of a vineyard was transformed with about 85 tons of concrete and a visionary dream of a talented wine enthusiast. In a weeks time, in the Summer of 2007, D2 arrived to a fresh, clean palette of blank stucco walls that soon took on a life of their own...with a romantic history, mood lighting and yes, racks and racks to hold the owners' brew! Watch for an article coming soon in PWC magazine for more details!
