Use Color To Revamp The Look Of Your Home
(NAPS)—Choosing a new look for your home can be a liberating, rejuvenating change that will pay off in the future. By choosing the right color, you can express yourself, freshen up an old look and increase the value of your home. According to a recent Cost vs. Value Report conducted by Hanley Wood, LLC, an exterior makeover —such as installing fiber cement siding—can be a great investment, returning more than 83 percent of the project cost upon resale. Here are several tips to help you increase the value of your home while boosting curb appeal: • Go Green. Color choice can affect the energy efficiency of your home. Darker colors absorb the sun and therefore warm the home, while lighter colors reflect the sun’s rays, keeping the home cooler. This is an important consideration depending on the amount of sunlight your home is exposed to on an average day. • Get Back to Nature. Look to your natural surroundings for inspiration. For example, in a wooded area, vivid greens and browns can help blend the style of a home with its environment. In an urban setting, bright, eye-catching colors can help to offset the sometimes drab hues associated with city living. • Go Back in History. If your home is from a certain historical period, play off that history. Find old pictures of your house or neighborhood to use a historically accurate color scheme. Try to select shades that were used at the time your home was built. This will add character and a certain amount of authenticity to your own little historical treasure. • Visualize the Finished Product. The ColorView free online tool at www. certainteed.com lets homeowners picture their home complete with new color. You can even mix and match colors of roofing, siding, trim, rail and deck to choose the perfect style and look. • Make a Lasting Impression. The darker the hue, the more likely it is to fade over time, especially with homes exposed to direct sunlight. CertainTeed’s Monogram vinyl siding offers consistent quality and variety with over 40 colors and wood-tone blends. • Look Up. The roof accounts for roughly 40 percent of the exterior appearance of the home, so it’s important to consider roofing shingles. CertainTeed’s Presidential Shake Shingles deliver the charm and character of hand-split wood shakes with the durability and strength that preside over wood in virtually every surrounding. From aged bark and charcoal black to weathered wood and chestnut, the shingles are available in a wide array of dynamic color options and textures to match your home’s unique style.

Recycle Your Rain To Go Green And Save Green!
(NAPS)—Homeowners today are looking for ways to protect the environment and be more eco-conscious. Better utilizing one of our most precious resources, water, is at the top of the list. Fortunately, there are new and easy ways to save on water usage by recycling rain. A growing number of homeowners are realizing that it doesn’t make sense to pay for water to care for your garden when you can simply collect water in a rain barrel. Consider this: One inch of rain over 1,000 square feet of area yields 623 gallons. One inch per hour of rainfall yields about 10 gallons per minute per 1,000 square feet. So it doesn’t take long to fill a few rain barrels with water. But once you’ve captured all that rain, how do you get it out so you can use it? With an eco-friendly pump system, you can easily run a hose or sprinkler from your rain barrel and power the water out. Systems like the RainPerfect™ pump from Rule® help in two ways—by harvesting rain and using the power of the sun. Since solar energy powers the rechargeable NiMH battery, there’s no need for an electrical outlet. The pump and solar panel install easily and provide enough pressure through an ordinary garden hose to run most low pressure sprinklers, for keeping the garden green, washing a car or watering just about anything around the house. Since water usage can increase during warm weather by as much as 30 percent from lawn, flower and vegetable garden watering, it’s a perfect way to go green and save green at the same time! Increasingly, these environmentally friendly efforts are being rewarded. Since many states now mandate rainwater usage, your rain barrel purchase may qualify you for a rebate from your utility company or government. Rebate amounts and qualifications vary, so be sure to contact your utility company or government for re demption instructions. The RainPerfect pump is available online and through select retailers.

Avoid Indoor Air Pollution
Page 7
(NAPS)—Many Americans may be breathing easier once they learn how simple it can be to keep their homes cleaner and more comfortable. Airborne contaminants such as mold can be a big headache for homeowners. Research published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology suggests that cleaning air ducts can go a long way toward reducing them. What The Scientists Did An independent lab and a team of allergists experimented in several houses, summer and winter, following four steps: 1. Cleaned the air ducts and the rest of the heating and cooling system; 2. Applied a chemical to treat microbial contaminants, such as mold; 3. Sealed the ducts to close up leaks; and 4. Installed an electrostatic filter to keep the system clean. The results were excellent: They reduced microbial contaminants by 84 to 92 percent. According to the study, excess moisture in the heating and cooling system is the main cause of fungal contamination. What You Can Do The experts at the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), which certifies heating and cooling cleaning professionals, recommend maintenance procedures that reflect these practices. They suggest you: • Inspect your air ducts. Use a small mirror and flashlight or digital camera to take a picture. If there is visible dust, dirt or debris, you should have your air ducts cleaned. • On a regular basis, clean your entire heating and cooling system—not only the air ducts but the coils and other components of the furnace. These get dirty over time. • Use a good filter. If you’re not sure, talk to the heating and cooling technician who comes out to your house to service the system. • Work with a qualified contractor. Having the job done right can save considerable time and money. These steps can go a long way in helping you improve the quality of the air in your home, while also saving you a considerable amount of money by using less energy. This also helps the environment.

Simple Steps To Keep Things Looking Up Around The House (NAPS)—Painting the ceiling is a great way to complete a room and give it a polished look. By using the ceiling as a fifth wall, you can add a splash of color to make small rooms seem larger and cavernous ones cozier and give a fresh, clean appearance to every room. Moreover, painting the ceiling can be easier than some homeowners might think. Here are a few hints to help from the experts at Behr Paints: Picking the Perfect Ceiling Paint Color Most people paint their ceiling white or off-white because these shades reflect light and coordinate well with other colors. Ceilings, however, can be one of the best places to use a fun splash of color. High ceilings can benefit from a lightly tinted color to make rooms that might appear too large and expansive feel more human and cozy. Painting low ceilings with semi-gloss paint, on the other hand, will make them seem higher. Crown molding in a darker color can draw the eye upwards. How to Paint a Ceiling 1. Pour thoroughly mixed paint into a bucket and dip a quality 2” to 21⁄2” wide nylon/polyester brush into it. When using more than a gallon of paint, combine the containers for better uniformity of color. This is called “boxing.” 2. With your brush, paint (cut in) along the perimeter of the ceiling surface. To avoid drips, tap off the excess paint against the inside wall of the bucket. 3. From the bucket, pour paint into a paint tray and work a roller into the tray until it’s fully loaded. Use a 3⁄8” to 1⁄2” roller cover for light texture and a 1⁄2” to 1” cover for heavy texture. For large areas, use a 5-gallon bucket and bucket grid. 4. Starting in a 3’ x 3’ section at a corner of your project area, roll the paint onto the ceiling in a “W” formation. For an even application, begin 3” to 4” away from the cut-in section. 5. Work the roller back and forth across the section until the “W” is completely filled in. Roll over the cut-in area, too. Reload the roller when necessary to maintain a wet edge. 6. Continue working in 3’ x 3’ sections across the width of the ceiling. To blend the sections for a uniform finish, lightly pass the roller over the newly painted area. 7. Repeat the process of painting and blending the sections until the project is complete. What You’ll Need to Paint a Ceiling One thing that can make painting ceilings quicker and easier is a new addition to Behr’s paint and primer in one line: Behr Premium Plus Ultra Stain-Blocking Ceiling Paint. When dry, it forms an extra protective shell that resists moisture, stains and mildew and has a flat sheen to minimize surface imperfections and provide a uniform appearance. With a unique formulation and viscosity, the paint dries to touch in 30 minutes and can be recoated in one hour. Since it’s designed to be spatter and drip resistant, it’s easier to apply with smooth consistency and delivers thick and even coverage. The paint offers excellent stain-blocking action against water, ink, rust, nicotine, wood or tannin bleed and mildew stains. It’s great for both uncoated and properly prepared, previously painted interior surfaces such as drywall, acoustical tile, cured masonry, plaster, wallboard and other ceiling surfaces. To transform the look and feel of a room, the paint can be tinted to a wide range of light colors or left pure white for a more traditional look. In addition, colors can be custom matched using Behr’s advanced computer matching system. Where to Find Ceiling Paint It’s available in all The Home Depot stores. You can find more at www.behr.com, including how-to information, design inspiration and 8-oz. paint samples. Fans can go to www.twitter.com/behrpaint and www.facebook.com/behrpaint. And, the ColorSmart by Behr Mobile application, available as a free download for the iPhone, helps do-ityourselfers find the perfect colors for any home decorating project at the touch of a finger.

Easy Ways To Add Value To Your Home For Under $1,000 (NAPS)—Whether preparing a home for sale or simply personalizing your abode, upgrading your space can add up. Kitchens and bathrooms are often the first areas prospective homeowners and houseguests notice, so updating these rooms can reap the greatest reward. Luckily, new products on the market can help homeowners update their home without investing an exorbitant amount of cash or time, making it possible to revamp these essential rooms for under $1,000. • Instead of buying new cabinets, purchasing new cabinet doors and drawer fronts and swapping out old cabinet hardware can save thousands of dollars while giving your kitchen a sleek, finished look. • Consider tiling your countertop instead of installing more costly granite or stone for a budget-friendly update. • For both your kitchen and bathroom, swapping out the faucets with newer models can create a more modern look. • It’s a bright idea to replace harsh fluorescent lighting with softer, modern sconces and pendants for a simple but effective upgrade. • Repaint. A new color on walls or ceilings can change the feel of an entire room. Warm dark colors can make a space feel cozier, while light and bright ones help open up a room. • Installing a kitchen backsplash using a DIY-friendly product such as Bondera TileMatSet—a double-sided, pressure-sensitive adhesive on a roll that eliminates the need for mortar and mastic—will help you easily create a professional-looking design while staying on budget. • Using the same adhesive, you can add decorative tile to give your bathroom a spa-like touch. Bondera repels water and is mold resistant. Using plain subway tiles and adding an accent border with decorative tiles can save on supply costs. Learn More For more information, visit www.BonderaTileMatSet.com or call (888) tma-tset. Bondera is available at Lowe’s stores nationwide and at www. Lowes.com.
Aesthetics, Performance, Efficiency— Siding Options Are Nearly Endless
(NAPS)—When it comes time to choose exterior siding for your home, there are a number of factors to consider, including curb appeal, installed cost, durability, sustainability and resale value—not to mention the color, texture, design and trim options that help to achieve a finished look. Your home reflects your individual personality and style, and the same sense of style you demonstrate inside can be expressed outside. Whether you are creating a new look for your home or restoring its original, authentic beauty, there are a handful of siding types to consider. The following breakdown of siding can help you determine the right siding for your home. Typically at a higher price point, polymer siding is made from polypropylene resin and is offered in a shake or shingle style with a cedar texture. Closely replicating perfection or rough-split wood, this siding can be used as a whole-house application or, more cost effectively, in accent areas for a unique look. CertainTeed offers Cedar Impressions siding in over 30 different colors and six styles to fit your personal style. According to a recent study conducted by Hanley Wood, LLC, fiber cement siding returns more than 83 percent of the project cost upon resale. Many fiber cement siding options, such as CertainTeed’s WeatherBoards, contain a high-recycled content, making it also an eco-friendly choice. This durable, noncombustible siding stands up to the elements, provides long-lasting appeal and is backed by long-term warranties. Additionally, it comes finished or primed and ready for painting, allowing a homeowner extra design flexibility. Helping to create a comfortable interior and a beautiful exterior, insulated siding can help homeowners increase their energy savings and decrease their carbon footprint. With high-recycled content, insulated siding takes sustainable siding to the next level. In fact, CertainTeed CedarBoards Double 6-inch insulated siding boasts an industry-leading 60 percent recycled content, and its flat, even face provides the look of wide-board wood siding. Ultralow-maintenance vinyl siding is America’s most popular choice, and for good reason. The most affordable siding option, vinyl is built to last and brings color, style and durability to a home’s exterior. No two homes are alike. Different historic backgrounds, climates and homeowner preferences and lifestyles call for different types of siding. Visit www.CertainTeed.com to learn more.

Brighten Up: Increase Outdoor Living Safety And Ambience With Deck Lighting (NAPS)—With the proper lighting, family and friends can enjoy good times outdoors long into the evening without being left in the dark. To make sure the fun doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down, consider these four simple suggestions to select deck lighting that creates a warm and inviting backyard: • Go for the Glow—Choose lighting that won’t flood your deck with light but instead casts a natural and subtle glow that produces understated silhouettes. Install a dimmer switch so you can adjust the mood as the evening progresses and a timer to set lights to turn on automatically after dusk and fade away before the sun rises. • Let Your Décor Shine—Today’s deck lighting comes in a variety of styles and should be a beautiful finishing touch that coordinates seamlessly with decking and railing. Think about the outdoor spaces where you spend the most time or the favorite elements of your home’s exterior and highlight appropriately. Recessed lighting installs flush on deck boards to light a path or accent a design, while riser lights keep stairways safe and create festive patterns. Install rail lights on posts to illuminate the deck below and integrate post cap lights for a warm downward glow that marks the way. • Cut Energy Costs—Long-life LED deck lighting is best for both the environment and your electricity bill. For instance, new Trex DeckLighting™ operates for up to 40,000 hours of life and uses 75 percent less energy than conventional incandescent lighting. LED options also prevent voltage drops, which means the last light in the series is just as bright as the first. • Lighten the (Work) Load—To spend more time relaxing outdoors, select lighting that may be installed on a new or existing deck in just one weekend. Trex Deck-Lighting also significantly reduces time spent maintaining. Weatherproof, salt air resistant and offering the extra security of a seven-year warranty, it’s guaranteed to retain a “like new” appearance for years to come—while its long life ensures you won’t need to constantly replace lightbulbs. “The best deck lighting not only helps you save money on maintenance and energy costs, but also significantly extends the amount of time you’re able to spend enjoying outdoor living spaces,” said Adam Zambanini, vice president of marketing for Trex, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing. “Choose a lighting collection that offers flexible design options, while also providing a strong return on investment and creating a more inviting outdoor living environment.” Learn More For more deck lighting inspiration and ideas, visit the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing at www.trex.com and (800) 289-8739.

(NAPS)—Rising energy costs and recent legislation called the Energy Independence and Security Act are encouraging many homeowners to reduce energy consumption. This means new, energy-efficient light sources are more popular than ever. It also makes dimming the lights more than a way to set a nice mood. It’s a way to save electricity. Dimming an incandescent or halogen light just 25 percent can save you up to 20 percent in energy—and makes your lightbulbs last up to 20 times longer. Though compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and screw-in light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs use less energy than typical incandescent and halogen bulbs do, historically, they’ve not been compatible with light dimmers. Lights have been known to drop out, not turn on and/or turn off unexpectedly. To help, there’s the new C·L dimmers from Lutron. They work not only with incandescent and halogen bulbs, but also with dimmable CFLs and LEDs. Learn more at www.lutron.com/ cflled.
