Shower Enclosures

Q: What is an antique mirror finish?

A: Antique mirror has aged to the point where the silver and/or copper on the back is tarnishing. Today we speed along the process to achieve this unique look. Designers and homeowners love these patinas as a beautiful component to their spaces, and Drexler has many patterns to choose from, from bar backsplashes and much more—come see what we have to offer!

SIDING

Q: How do I keep my HardiPlank® siding in good shape?

A: HardiePlank® is designed to look like traditional wood siding, but it’s more durable and resistant to fire, rot and insects. Like with any home exterior material, regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water to remove dirt and grime will help keep it looking its best. It should also be painted and sealed every five to seven years to protect it from the elements.

Window Coverings

Q: Do all of the window treatments in my house have to be the same?

A: No, many people choose to mix and match different types of window treatments in their homes using different styles and colors to curate a unique and personalized look. The most important thing is to choose window treatments that suit the individual needs of each room and that complement the overall design of your home.

Garage Doors

Q: How can I update my old garage doors?

A: Short of replacement, there are several ways to give your garage doors a new look. Try a new coat of paint or swapping hardware with mock hinges and new handles. If the door doesn’t have windows, maybe it’s time to let in the light. Upgrade efficiency with new weather stripping or a new WIFI opener that will allow you to operate the door from anywhere on your phone.
