Active photons in the sun’s ultraviolet rays blast copper atoms from solid copper. These copper ions wash down the roof, bonding with the asphalt and preventing the crosslinking. For that reason, it’s best to put about 9 or 12 inches of exposed copper up on top of each side of your roof.

Each time it rains, the copper atoms broken off by the photons wash down onto the asphalt allowing them to link to the asphalt. If your asphalt shingles are in very good condition, you can add the copper and get the same benefit.

6 AREAS TO TACKLE DURING

Summer Cleaning Not everything can be cleaned at all times of the year, making the summer a good time to take care of some of those household cleaning tasks while the weather is warm.

Wash your vacuum filters.

Our vacuums do a lot of the dirty work around the house; and if you have pets, the dust and dander can really accumulate in the vacuum’s air filters. If they’re not cleaned regularly, you can end up sending out a cloud of that dust when you vacuum. Wash, rinse, and air-dry vacuums outdoors.

Clean that grimy grill.

Clean your dryer hose and vent.

Check your dryer hose and your home’s exterior vent to look for build-up. Pull the dryer away from the wall and inspect the hose at the dryer by removing it to make sure lint hasn’t backed up into your appliance.

The summer is the best time to use the grill, and that means they can accumulate a lot of grease and cooking build-up.

Give your grill a good scrubbing so that it’s clean for the remainder of the summer and not so built up with grime when you pull it out again next spring.

Inspect the fireplace and chimney.

When the weather turns cold, everyone will be calling to have their fireplace and chimney inspected or cleaned. Do it before the first cold snap when your local chimney sweep will be anxious for the work and may even charge less for it.

The more you maintain during the summer months, the less tedious the next seasonal deep clean will be.

Inspect and clean the basement.

Wash your stove’s exhaust filter.

Hoods and over the range filters can become greasy and messy.

This is a good time to take them out, wash them in hot sudsy ammonia and let air dry.

Now is the time to inspect for leaks, mold, and insects. Give your basement a good cleaning and thorough going-over before the cold and damp sets in and your basement will be in good shape when winter arrives.

HOW TO

Beat the Heat I N M O R E WAY S T H A N O N E

There are times during the summer when you have got to have some relief from the heat. And whether fans are sitting on the floor, nestled in the window or hanging from the ceiling, not all fans are created equal. Some are noisy, some don’t really move the air well, and some are simply aggravating. Here’s how you can get some cool relief with the help of some devices that get the job done.

A QUIET COOL There are few things that make a hot situation worse than a noisy fan.

That goes away with the Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan. This is perfect when you need a little air movement or to give your air conditioner a boost. Because there are no blades, there’s no worry about little fingers being hurt. It also has a high-tech style that just looks cool.

For sleeping, a vertical stand fan is a good option. One of the quietest on the market is the Dyson stand fan, but at almost $400, you may want it to do more than blow air. Another option is the Lasko 42-inch Wind Curve. At around $50, you get a tall, space- and money-saving fan that can help you get your cool on.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY A window air fan might be a better answer, but you want one that looks better than a standard box fan propped in the window. For that, the Bionaire Twin Reversible Airflow Window Fan, available at Amazon. com, can move hot air out of the house or cool air in and fits neatly in a window.

Creative Living 87 Digestsize.indd 6

5/24/22 10:42 AM

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX The Vornado Whole Room Air Circulator will help you feel cooler and give your air conditioner a break by being able to raise the thermostat so that it doesn’t work quite as hard.

If you’re just overheating in bed, there’s a fan for that too. The BedJet (www.bedjet.com) has a small fan that goes under the bed, and an attached blower blows air under the sheets.

If you’ve had problems with night sweats or hot flashes or just can’t cool down at night, this could be what you’ve been looking for; it can also blow warm air during the winter, making it perfect for cold toes.

COOL PORTABILITY You can also try a portable air conditioner. These portable units can be moved wherever you need some extra cooling, such as in the living room during the day and the bedroom at night. The Koldfront Portable Air Conditioner, available at Amazon.com, will cool up to 500 feet of living space and vents out any external window. Cool and efficient and at about $400, you get cool dehumidified air that will help you feel more comfortable.

Another option is the Frigidaire Portable Air Conditioner, which brings the temps down and has a cool look that’s not the same, old white box.

HOME RENOVATIONS

6 GREAT BATHROOM TRENDS TO TRY Bathrooms aren’t just utilitarian spaces anymore; they’re becoming personalized, spa-like retreats. If you’re ready to hit refresh on your bathroom, these eight ideas will inspire you to turn this everyday space into a calming sanctuary.

1. ACCENT WALLS

4. NATURAL TONES AND TEXTURES

Homeowners and designers are increasingly using accent walls to amp up interest in the bathroom. These can be used to liven up a neutral palette or help draw focus to a show-stopping feature, such as a soaking tub or custom vanity.

As homeowners seek to create a calming space, subtle natural hues are on the rise. In addition, natural materials like wood and marble blend beautifully with a wide range of color palettes.

Whether you prefer a minimalist Scandinavian look, a rustic farmhouse vibe or a traditional feel, natural tones and textures work well with a variety of design styles. To help modernize the space, incorporate a small dose of black to ground the look.

If you decide to add an accent wall to your bathroom, carefully choose which wall to showcase. Look to the features around or on the wall to help you decide. If you’re still not sure which wall is best, select the one most visible from the doorway.

2. FREESTANDING VANITIES Personalization continues to be a top priority for homeowners, and freestanding vanities (with their furniture-like appeal) present a great opportunity to add a custom look. Plus, freestanding vanities generally offer the same design and storage options as built-ins, but at a less expensive price point.

Updating your vanity is one of the quickest ways to change the look of your bathroom without undertaking an entire remodel. To customize your freestanding vanity even further, swap out the hardware with pulls in your favorite metallic finish, then accessorize the countertop with a pretty tray or vase.

3. BLACK ACCENTS Though hardware and faucet finishes are one way to try this trend, you can also go with deep-hued vanities, black accent walls and even plumbing fixtures.

Used sparingly, black accents can provide a pop of contrast in a traditional white bathroom. When applied liberally, black accents help foster a glamorous vibe.

Creative Living 85 Digestsize.indd 8

5. DOUBLE VANITIES As the average house size increases, bigger master bathrooms mean more opportunities to incorporate convenient design elements like double vanities.

Although double sinks can reduce the amount of usable counter space, many manufacturers are now addressing that issue with creative storage solutions.

Vanities outfitted with power outlets, full-extension drawers and custom holders for grooming tools can help minimize clutter and make the most of limited space. Side-by-side vanities are another stylish choice with numerous customization options.

6. LARGE SHOWERS When space allows, homeowners are ditching the shower-bath combo and opting for a walk-in shower and equally luxurious tub. A larger shower area presents ample opportunity for introducing customization and spa-like extras. Add an element of luxury with built-in storage niches or a teak bench lined with pampering products. ©2022 Meredith Corporation.

SPRING PROJECTS TO PERK UP YOUR PATIO With spring in full swing and gardening projects on your mind as you hunker down at home, it’s time to start thinking about enjoying the patio again. A few small projects can take that dull, blank space and turn it into a patio with panache.

1. PAINT THE FLOOR. Plain Jane concrete isn’t something to get excited about; but painting the concrete can perk up your porch or patio. Go to your local paint store and have them help you pick out a color and give you all the prep materials. It’s more time-consuming than hard, but a painted patio looks neat and stylish.

2. PAINT YOUR FURNITURE. Over the winter or after several years outdoors, patio furniture can lose its luster. Sand and spray-paint your furniture to bring it back to life. If you have a big set, look for a local painter who can sandblast and powdercoat your furniture to make it look like new again.

3. CREATE A SEATING AREA OR AN EATING AREA. Give your patio a defined eating or seating space with an indoor/outdoor rug. Add a seating arrangement to create an outdoor living space or a table for some al fresco dining in your new outdoor room.

4. STRING UP SOME LIGHTS. Add some string lights across the patio for great Mediterranean bistro ambiance at night. Add a timer so the lights pop on and off automatically.

5. PLACE LANTERNS AROUND THE SPACE. Romantic and ethereal, candle lanterns set artfully around a seating area, next to a chair or on a dining table are uber-romantic and create a layered lighting effect.

6. ELECTRIFY IT. Install a sound system or electrical outlets to enjoy TV on the patio. With Wi-Fi-enabled speakers and televisions, you can turn your patio into an outdoor living room.

7. ADD WATER. Create a patio fountain out of a planter. Cluster a grouping of plants around an urn, pop in a fountain pump from your home center, and you have a terrific sound that’s peaceful and can help drown out background noise.

8. GET UNIQUE SEATING. Make lounging outdoors more inviting with a swinging bed hung from the ceiling or a pair of swinging rattan chairs.

They’re trendy and will be the seat everyone wants to sit in when you go outside.

9. RE-CUSHION CHAIRS AND COUCHES. Patio cushions take a beating from the elements and the sun, so replace to refresh and update your patio. Mix solid seat cushions with patterned throw pillows for a homey feeling.

10. ADD SHADE OR STRUCTURE. If your patio is flat and exposed, it’s time to add an arbor or string up some sunshade fabric that will give you much needed shade and help you enjoy more time outdoors comfortably.

After being cooped up in the house, a patio project is the perfect way to get some fresh air and prepare for the summer months ahead.

MUST-HAVE TIPS FOR REMODELING

YOUR KITCHEN

Creative Living 86 Digestsize.indd 6

3/23/22 11:59 PM

R

emodeling a kitchen requires a lot of effort (and cash). Avoid making costly mistakes with these expert tips for every aspect of your design – from islands to floor plans and everything in between.

1. PLAN THE SPACE. Even in big kitchens, you’ll want to create a compact step-saving work core. You don’t want to walk a mile to make a meal, or even worse, generate dead space within the room.

Pick areas that will work hard during meal prep, dining and family time. A breakfast nook, for example, is the perfect way to add style without sacrificing too many steps.

2. MEASURE!

5. PUT IN A PENINSULA. In a small kitchen, a small peninsula often works better than an island. Keep your space in mind every step of the way to ensure the best remodel possible. Don’t overwhelm a small space; there are options available for a variety of sizes and layouts.

6. PLAN AHEAD. Get all your ducks in a row before you begin your kitchen remodel. Delays and changes midstream can send costs soaring.

Do your homework and consider each choice ahead of time. Be sure to check that everything has arrived before the contractor is ready to install.

7. CHOOSE STORAGE WISELY.

Kitchen aisles need to be wide enough to accommodate all that goes on in a kitchen. Clearance helps multiple cooks navigate the space and maneuver around each other. When designing your new kitchen, make sure all aisles – such as those between islands, walls and appliances – are between 42 and 48 inches wide. Also consider offsetting the placement of key features, such as sinks and the range, so two cooks don’t bump into one another.

3. ENSURE IT’S FUNCTIONAL. When planning the space, consider the size and direction of doors, appliances and cabinets. Fridges often need wide clearance, as do ovens. Take a walk through the space and plan door openings to ensure that you don’t create a cramped kitchen.

4. BUY AN ISLAND (OR TWO).

In a big room, two islands are often better than one. It’s a mistake to supersize an island, because anything longer than 10 feet is hard to walk around. Also, if an island is more than 4 feet deep, it’s hard to reach the middle. Overstuffing an island with dinnerware, baskets and other items creates a similar problem. Make sure no island storage extends beyond the rim of the countertop.

A good design includes storage solutions that match items used in specific areas. Between open storage, cabinets, shelves and more, there are hundreds of options available.

Consider the goal of the remodel: If you are going for a sleek look and choose glass cabinet doors, keep the cabinet contents streamlined and unfussy, as well.

8. INCLUDE SPACE FOR ENTERTAINING. Whatever a kitchen’s size, expect friends and family to congregate there. People are drawn to other people, and your guests don’t want to be hanging out in the living room while you’re preparing dinner. Plan for interactive space in your new kitchen – whether that’s a corner nook, island with seating or a banquette.

9. BRING HOME SAMPLES. Materials can look a lot different in a showroom than they do in your actual space.

Don’t commit to any major design element – such as flooring or countertops – until you’ve brought the samples home to look at in the space you’re remodeling. You may also want to look at samples under lighting similar to what will be used in the new space.
