Q
What is the difference between site-finished and prefinished hardwood floors?
A
Site-finished hardwoods are installed raw (unfinished) and then sanded, stained and coated with polyurethane in your home. This means you are able to select the stain color and the gloss level of the floor. Prefinished hardwood floors are fully manufactured and finished in the factory. A prefinished floor offers a quicker and more convenient installation, but you have fewer choices in stain color, etc. Both types of wood flooring are available in solid and engineered wood.

Q
Do frameless glass shower doors and enclosures require special maintenance?
A
Frameless doors are designed to be maintenance-free, but it’s all about the installation. If
DECEMBER 2021 - JANUARY 2022
the doors are not measured properly or aligned correctly, then they may require adjustment down the road.
Attachments need to be appropriate for your surfaces. Make sure your supplier comes with good references and a track record you can trust. David Drexler
WINDOW REPLACEMENT
Q A
Can I replace my windows in colder weather?
Our installation methods won’t leave you shivering during another winter. We
use premium materials (sealants, foam, flashing) to ensure the best possible installation in any climate.
We are also flexible in scheduling your installation and starting in areas of your home to maximize comfort and minimize cold exposure for you and your family. Plus, our Infinity® from Marvin® fiberglass windows are designed to stay tight and true even during extreme temperature swings, and they are more resistant to leaks and seal failures than all other windows.
