Protect your family from the unthinkable with simple home maintenance projects.

FOTOLIA RAW - FOTLIA.COM Homes & Design

Alarming survey shows people’s poor home maintenance habits Proper home maintenance can preserve your home, while saving you money and headaches in the future. However, a new survey from Erie Insurance conducted by Harris Poll reveals Americans have alarmingly poor upkeep habits.

“By overlooking common DIY projects, homeowners are not only putting themselves at risk for major financial loss, but also are exposing their families to dangerous hazards,” says Joe Vahey, vice president and product manager at Erie Insurance.

In an effort to help people become more aware of what they can be doing to protect themselves, the experts at Erie Insurance list five commonly overlooked areas of the home that should be regularly inspected and maintained: Inspect your roof Replacing or repairing a roof is one of the biggest expenses a homeowner may have and the need to do it often comes

without warning. Nationally, the average homeowner spends about $6,600 to install a new roof, according to HomeAdvisor, but prices can soar upwards of $20,000 depending on certain factors.

But the Erie Insurance survey found that nearly one in four homeowners (23 percent) admits they never inspect their roof or have it inspected only if there is a problem. Even scarier, nearly a third (27 percent) of those who own a house either mistakenly believe their insurance will pay for damage that occurs to their roof over time, such as through normal wear and tear or have no idea how their insurance works regarding this type of damage. Insurance generally only covers things like roof damage from unexpected storms.

Clean out dryer exhaust One in five homeowners (21 percent) admit they never clean their clothes dryer ducts, unless they have a problem. Unfortunately, the most common cause of dryer fires is failure to do a thorough cleaning.

According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), dryers cause roughly 15,500 home structure fires, 29 deaths, 400 injuries and $192 million in direct property loss each year.

Unclog gutters and downspouts Nearly one out of four homeowners (24 percent) say they never care for their gutters and downspouts. Clogged gutters can cause water to flow down the sides of a

Check the furnace Only 36 percent of homeowners have their furnaces inspected and serviced at least once a year. According to NFPA, U.S. fire departments respond to an es-

home and pool around its foundation, often leading to major issues like uneven floors, cracks in walls and interior water damage.

This type of claim, also known as seepage, is often not covered under your home insurance policy.

timated average of 56,000 home fires involving heating equipment. These fires resulted in annual losses of 470 civilian deaths, 1,490 civilian injuries, and $1 billion in direct property damage per year.

Clean sump pump and pit Sump pumps are used to remove excess water from homes, but 44 percent of those who own one admit to never cleaning it or the pit, unless they have a problem. Water damage due to sewage and drain backups generally requires additional insurance coverage beyond a standard policy. Without that coverage, it could end up costing you, on average, $2,156, according to Home Advisor.

Protect your family and your investment with proper maintenance, and if you’re unsure what your policy covers, contact your insurance agent. They’ll work with you to determine what you need to be protected.

Create grand, open living spaces WITH UNIQUE POCKET DOOR FRAMES

Offering twice the opening width of their standard pocket doorframe, Johnson Hardware’s new 1562 Series Commercial Grade Bypass Pocket Door Frame lets you easily create a wider room divider using just a single wall recess. It’s a great alternative to converging doors.

Designed to support two heavyweight, solidcore bypass doors in a standard 2-inch by 6-inch timber-framed or steel-framed stud wall, it’s a snap for architects and interior designers to specify functional divided openings for large rooms with minimal wall obstructions and zero floor barriers.

The results are clear, wide-open living spaces that meet every need. Configured for compatibility with most standard door sizes, Johnson’s versatile 1562 Pocket Door Frame is designed for easy installation in both bypass pocket door and converging bypass pocket door applications.

Ideal for separating living and dining rooms as well as other spaces, such as great rooms, kitchens, master bedrooms, and even home offices, Johnson’s 1562 Commercial Grade Bypass Pocket Door Frame accommodates doors up to 3-feet wide by 9-feet high by 1-3/8-inch thick and weighing up to 200 pounds each.

It allows a broad selection of door materials and styles, from classic wood-framed glasspaneled doors to ultra-modern options. Whether the doors are open or closed, you can create the elegant, custom looks you want to distinguish your interior spaces, while enhancing your lifestyle with

forward-thinking solutions only available from Johnson Hardware.

Because it has no bottom guide track, Johnson’s 1562 frame ensures smooth glitch-free entry, making it a breeze for people using wheelchairs and walkers to navigate rooms independently.

Making the frame easier to install as well, its trackless door guide also helps keep your floors pristine since there’s no interference with vacuums, brooms, or other cleaning tools.

The frame’s two tracks run parallel and allow both doors to fit into the wall pocket at the same time. Its heavy-gauge, steel-wrapped split studs even fortify walls by adding rigidity. The frame’s tricycle hangers won’t jump off the track either.

With Johnson’s space-saving, smooth-operating 1562 Commercial Grade Bypass Pocket Door Frame, liberating the 10-14 square feet of floor space every swinging door uses means greater freedom of movement and more room for furnishings near doorways. Johnson’s 1562 Pocket Door Frame also brings sophistication, long-lasting functionality, and unique aesthetics to all homes.

Johnson Hardware products are rigorously tested to meet American National Standards Institute quality standards.

Tips to keep your home

PROPER LY HUMIDIFIED THIS W INTER The amount of humidity in the air directly affects the temperature and comfort level in your home.

When air is heated, the humidity drops.

The result can be chapped lips, dry skin and nasal passages, respiratory issues, static shocks, cracked woodwork and furniture, and chipped paint. Insufficient humidity also makes you feel colder, tempting you to turn the thermostat higher than necessary.

Adding moisture to your home can help create a healthy, more comfortable and energy-efficient environment, while protecting your home and its contents. A whole-house humidifier is a simple solution that can be installed in your home’s ductwork. Air heated by your furnace or heat pump picks up moisture as it passes over the humidifier’s evaporative pad, which is saturated in water. Then, it circulates throughout your home for optimum comfort during the heating season and year-round in dry climates where humidity is needed every day.

The Champion Premium bypass whole-house humidifier and whole-

house fan-powered humidifier from Johnson Controls use this technology. They work seamlessly through your existing heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system to deliver humidified air throughout a home and to eliminate extremely dry air. Both are easy to operate and have a control device that mounts easily to a wall or ductwork, allowing you to control your indoor humidity levels.

Pairing a humidifier with a Champion Premium modulating gas furnace will complement humidity control with a total comfort system. The furnace modulates gas input and circulating airflow to closely match the amount of heat needed and to deliver maximum performance, comfort and savings. This furnace has received the Consumers Digest Best Buy designation and is Energy Star qualified.

To learn more about Champion heating systems and how to humidify your home, visit www. championhomecomfort.com or follow it on YouTube and @ Champion_HVAC on Twitter.

Don’t let dry air put a damper on your health and happiness. A humidifier can help make living spaces more comfortable.

Easy DIY tips to save on Go green and save green with your winter energy bills a high-efficiency water heater Here’s what Americans have to look forward to this winter: While the south will be drier and warmer, the northern United States can expect “wetter, cooler conditions,” predicts the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“Regardless of the outlook, there is always some chance for extreme winter weather, so prepare now for what might come later this winter,” says Mike Halpert, deputy director for NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center.

As a homeowner, what can you do to get ready for the season’s frigid blasts, in order to keep your family warm and comfortable while avoiding heart-stopping heating bills?

Whether you have an older or a newer home, chances are it could use additional insulation to make it more energy efficient.

About 90 percent of U.S. single-family homes are under-insulated, according to research conducted by Boston University for the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association.

With proper insulation, “residential electricity use nationwide would drop by about 5 percent and natural gas use by more than 10 percent,” says Dr. Jonathan Levy, professor of environmental health at Boston University.

Fortunately, adding insulation in a few key spots in the home isn’t difficult, and is within the skill level of many doit-yourselfers. Two key areas to check for proper insulation are the attic hatch and basement walls.

FILE PHOTO Homes & Design

Adding insulation can cut your winter energy bills. Research has found 90 percent of single-family homes are under-insulated in the United States.

If your home’s hatch to the attic is above a heated space (versus in an “unconditioned” space such as the garage), it could be a prime source for heat loss. “Hot air rises, and many attic hatches are not properly sealed and insulated, so homeowners can be losing big money through that opening,” says Tom Savoy, technical director for Insulfoam. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends inspecting the attic hatch to make sure it is “at least as heavily insulated as the attic, is weather stripped, and closes tightly.” For the insulation, homeowners can easily cut and attach rigid foam panels made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or graphite polystyrene (GPS), notes Savoy.

As energy costs rise, the “green” movement and conservation efforts have become popular topics. Energy-saving recommendations appear daily in the media, and consumers are being offered subsidies or state and federal tax credits to encourage the purchase of more efficient appliances. However, many homeowners fail to consider their water heater when it comes to going “green.”

Although today’s water heaters are expected to operate for an average of 13 years, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends shopping for a new water heater if your current unit is more than seven years old. This allows an adequate amount of time for homeowners to research and select a water heater that best meets their needs instead of waiting until their heater breaks down and selecting the cheapest quick fix for cold showers.

Consumers are increasingly turning to high-efficiency water heaters when replacing older units or during remodeling and building projects. While these models may cost more initially, savings in water and energy usage continue throughout the lifetime of the appliance, offsetting the price difference.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that these units use 10 to 50 percent less energy, benefits to both your budget and the environment.

A recent study by the Gas Technology Institute simulated the residential performance of high-efficiency water heaters and conventional units. The Vertex from A.O. Smith, a hybrid, gas-condensing, residential unit incorporating tanktype and tankless technology, provided the best overall performance at average and high-volume hot water usage, which is the consumption of 64-gallons or more per day of hot water.

Endorsed by long-time environmental champion Ed Begley Jr. of the HGTV series “Living With Ed,” the Vertex provides sufficient quantities of hot water for shower after shower and operates at 90 percent thermal efficiency. Additionally, it is designed to meet the demands that modern lifestyles require.

“Using more efficient combustion to produce hot water at lower operating costs and 90 percent thermal efficiency, the Vertex is a good choice for customers who want to save energy without skimping on hot water,” said David Chisolm, A. O. Smith Water Heater brand manager.

KITCHEN & BATH

The many moods of modern design With roots dating back to the 1920s and 1930s, modern interior design encompasses a wide variety of aesthetics and moods. From an urban industrial loft to a sleek beach house, the versatility of modern design can morph to match a variety of environments.

Whether you prefer raw spaces and reclaimed materials or crisp lines and minimal embellishment, there’s a modern flavor to fit your personal style.

European minimalism

Synonymous for simplicity and functionality, European minimalism is well versed in the notion of less is more. Clean lines and simple ornamentation allow for an open, natural flow, while a muted color scheme and light wood floors create the foundation of a calming space. The neutral palette is balanced with rich textures, mixed materials and natural lighting to invite guests in without offering overwhelming distractions.

Unfinished industrial

Drawing inspiration from factories and warehouses, exposed brick, reclaimed wood and unfinished metals deliver a functionally minimal aesthetic. This design approach strips spaces down to their bare essence and brings structural components to the foreground.

Incorporating sleek fixtures with purposeful details brings a modern sentiment to a vintage space. With a simplistically beautiful bent tube spout, the Litze Bath Collection by Brizo exemplifies the fusion of creativity and manufacturing.

Thoughtful details such as three distinctive handle options and textural knurling accents throughout the collection denote stunning craftsmanship with an industrial feel.

Bold contemporary

Bold contemporary is an eye-catching twist on modern design.

Coupled with a neutral backdrop, contemporary design details – such as pops of color or geometric shapes – bring a space to life. Warm finishes offer a contrast to a cool black-and-white palette, while organic elements, such as air plants or bamboo, keep the space from becoming too stark. Incorporating textured gold tones, such as the Brizo Brilliance Luxe Gold finish, against a monochromatic background delivers a sophisticated take on modern design. Faucets, fittings and accessories in this same finish help create a cohesive, bold look throughout the space.

Urban Zen

Minimalist in design, urban Zen utilizes the simplicity of clean lines and a warm neutral color palette to provide a serene, quiet home design. Infused with natural materials, this modern design approach brings the outdoors inside with elements such as rock tiled showers, bamboo flooring or stone sinks. Soft colors such as cream, taupe, gray and gold complement the natural materials to deliver a soothing spa-like experience.

Incorporating marble into modern kitchens is a trend. Mixing design elements such as wood, metal and brick with marble makes a bold statement.

5 ways to design

with the 1980s comeback kid – marble

Marble touts a long precious history in design. For thousands of years, the beautiful stone has been used to complete some of the most famous structures in the world, such as the Taj Mahal, the Supreme Court building, the leaning tower of Pisa, the Pantheon and Michelangelo’s Statue of David.

However, in the 1980s, the material lost some of its classic appeal in American design, becoming synonymous with gaudy, over-the-top style.

Throughout the decade, homes were outfitted with marble bathrooms, kitchens and other living spaces, accented with shiny brass or gold fixtures.

Fast forward to today and marble is making its way back into homes – thanks to an ‘80s design renaissance – but designers are thinking differently about how to incorporate the look in ways that are more timeless and less ostentatious. Companies are even giving marble a fashionable, playful twist, creating everything from backpacks to yoga pants to furniture inspired by the stone.

“Especially in the kitchen, we’re seeing a huge trend to mix-and-match materials,” says Mar Esteve, marketing manager for surfacing material Neolith by TheSize. “The marble look beautifully complements warm materials such as wood, metals and brick.

Today’s designs are using classic white Carrarainspired marble with gold or silver veining as a custom accent, rather than the whole-home marble styling of decades past.”

If you’re planning an upcoming home renovation, here are four tips for incorporating the marble look:

Make a grand entrance

FILE PHOTO Homes & Design

Adding gold accents to a monochromatic background creates a sophisticated space. Faucets, fittings and accessories with a metalic finish help create a cohesive, bold look.

In the foyer, marble floors make a statement for visitors. Adding marble to the floor is a great option since it is traditionally a smaller space – meaning more bang for the buck. Marble also adds visual interest to a home from the moment someone steps through the front door.

Add sophistication to the kitchen The marble aesthetic will continue to be a staple in the kitchen, as there are few countertops that look

as luxurious and everlasting. However, the natural material should be used with caution on high-traffic surfaces like countertops. Considered a porous soft stone, marble requires regular sealing, and accidental spills from wine, acid or any dark liquid could easily stain the material.

To get the same look as marble with less worry, consider innovative alternatives, which are constantly being introduced to the market. Brands like Neolith – a 100 percent natural, high-performance, sintered compact surface – offer a true interpretation of marble in a lightweight, low maintenance material.

Turn it into a spa-like retreat

The industry is bringing back yet another popular idea from the 1980s – the resurgence of the separation in the bath, with separate showers and oversized bathtubs. Homeowners and designers today are customizing the rooms with thoughtful elements that integrate better with their lifestyles and design preferences.

Consider whole slabs of marble or marble-inspired surfacing to line the shower walls or floors. Use softer colors such as gray, white and cream, which will make the bathroom feel light and clean.

Focus on marble accents

Marble makes an excellent material for furniture, but if you entertain a lot or have young children, marble could be too difficult to maintain. When a simple glass of water can leave a permanent ring behind, it’s important to seek out alternative materials to get the high-end look that can withstand the wear and tear of life. Marble and its alternatives are offered in numerous colors, so do not feel the need to stick to neutral tones; a colored marble tabletop could add just the right pop of color needed to bring the space to life.

The marble aesthetic can also instantly elevate the look of a living room when used around a fireplace.

Websites like www.neolith.com offer visualizer tools so you can how envision how the marble look will enhance your living space, before making a purchase (BPT) commitment.
