safety tips to prepare your family for the unexpected
Photo courtesy of Getty Images
When weather or other unforeseen circumstances cause a power outage, a portable generator may be the perfect solution. Although there are many benefits to using a generator as a temporary power source, some may be unaware of the dangers. Part of being prepared for an emergency is having a portable generator to supply power in the event of an outage. Many homeowners opt for portable generators when temporary or remote electric power is not readily available. They provide flexibility, convenience and the ability to power lights and comfort devices, such as fans or space heaters, when the power goes out. While taking advantage of these benefits, users need to exercise caution to avoid a serious risk associated with the misuse of portable generators: carbon monoxide poisoning. See SAFETY Page 22

For homeowners who enjoy spending time outside, the doorway is an important architectural element that blends style and function to connect indoor and outdoor spaces. Many factors influence which type of door makes the most sense for your home. Available wall space and layout of the space inside and out dictate whether a single or double door fits best. Considerations such as lighting and privacy influence details such as the number of window panes for your home, while personal style and décor preferences help identify the choice between sliding and French style doors. Beyond the main door structure, many homeowners are exploring new options when it comes to complementary screen doors that make the most of indoor-outdoor spaces and create optimal air flow. Traditional options like swinging or sliding screens are being replaced by a new popular alternative: retractable screen doors. A flexible alternative As their name suggests, retractable screen doors roll back into their housing when not in us, much like a window shade turned on its side. “A retractable screen door is the perfect solution for allowing fresh air into the home,” says Randy Brown, retail channel marketing manager, ODL Inc., a leading manufacturer of retractable screen doors. “It keeps bugs out when the screen is in use, and when the screen isn’t needed, it retracts into the frame housing so it’s hidden from view. It’s there when you need it and out of sight when you don’t.” A practical alternative to traditional screen doors, retractable screen doors also allow homeowners to avoid the banging, slamming and in-the-way hassles associated with a traditional hinged screen door. For homeowners who like to entertain, leaving the screen retracted allows the party to spill naturally onto a festive deck or patio. Easy installation When shopping for a retractable screen door, look for models that offer outer face-mount installation on brick mold. This allows you to enjoy a full opening for fresh air circulation as well as an unobstructed view to the outdoors. Without intrusive housing or tracks associated with in-jamb retractable screen doors, these models provide the added benefit of a full pass-through space. Installing a retractable screen door is surprisingly simple, especially if you choose a product designed with the DIY homeowner in mind, such as the Brisa Retractable Screen Door by ODL. For most standard-size doors, no metal cutting is required, and only a power driver tool is needed to install Brisa’s five components in about 30 minutes. Hassle-free Brisa Retractable Screen Doors are offered in a variety of heights (standard, short, tall), colors (white, bronze, sandstone), and applications (single door, French/double door, sliding door) for flexibility to fit the majority of homes. Its symmetrical design and neutral material selections align with the brick or wood molding of a home’s architecture, and with durable painted surfaces and rust-free aluminum, the housing and track require no maintenance. Brisa is also covered by a Limited Life Time Warranty. For more information and a where-to-buy locater, visit www.odl.com/FreshAir.

easy ways to block light
Although ample natural light is a feature many homeowners desire, there are plenty of reasons to manage the light streaming into your home. Whether you simply crave a different aesthetic or you’re working to correct a matter such as limited privacy or filtering damaging rays, there are various approaches you can take to block light around your home. These four tips for blocking the light coming through your windows and doors are easy DIY projects you can tackle in just a few hours to achieve more privacy and light control: • Trap light with textiles. If you’ve always considered curtains an attractive but nonfunctional addition to your rooms, think again. Choosing the proper weight and texture for your window treatments can significantly alter the lighting when curtains are drawn. For example, combining heavier drapes and sheer panels is a stylish approach that lets you filter without fully eliminating light. When placed on a double rod, the drapes can pull closed
for more complete blockage. • Seek solutions for unique situations. For glass inserts on doors, traditional coverings such as curtains or blinds are impractical; the sway of fabric or banging of blinds grows tiresome quickly. An alternative, such as Add-On Blinds for Doors, is an energy-efficient solution, helping reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, that lets you easily adjust and change the height and tilt of the slats as needed to control the amount of light and privacy you want. The blinds, an easy do-it-yourself project, snap on to the door glass frame in about 15 minutes and come in several sizes to fit various door glass sizes. They are also cord-free, making them an attractive option for households with pets and children. • Filter harsh rays with window film. Although it lacks the day-to-day flexibility of other options, tinting windows or applying a window film is an effective way to significantly reduce bright light through a window. There are a wide range of options to fit your specific needs, from glare reduction and heat control to privacy and decoration. You can choose versions that allow varying degrees of opacity in gray or dark colors, or even frosted or stained glass looks. In most cases, the film is applied from inside; the street appearance varies depending on your selection. • Plant with purpose. If your preference is to leave your view unobstructed, enhance the view with strategically positioned shrubs or trees that lend a more subtle sense of privacy while blocking direct sunlight. This approach is ideal for windows and glass doors overlooking a scenic backyard with limited privacy concerns.

Safety: Tips for the home Continued from Page 17
Carbon monoxide, which is contained in toxic engine exhaust, is tasteless, colorless and odorless. It also can be deadly. That’s why the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Associationb recommends you take time to become familiar with your generator and all of its safety operation instructions, as well as warnings about potential hazards. Keep the operator’s manual in a safe place so you can refer to it easily, and always keep these safety tips in mind: 1. Read and follow the operator’s manual before starting the generator. 2. Never run a portable generator indoors or in partiallyenclosed spaces, even if you plan to use fans or open doors or windows for ventilation. 3. Always take your portable generator outside, placing it downwind with the engine exhaust pointed away from occupied
spaces. 4. Avoid placing a portable generator near windows, doors or vents, as carbon monoxide gas can accumulate and potentially be drawn indoors. 5. Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms according to manufacturer’s instructions. Replace batteries and test the alarm regularly to ensure it is in good working condition. 6. Know how to recognize the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, weakness and fainting. 7. If you feel sick, dizzy or weak while using your portable generator, get to fresh air immediately and call 911 for emergency medical attention.
