7 Questions to Ask Before Switching Products
Don't let fear of the unknown discourage you from trying a new or innovative building product. But do minimize the risk by addressing these key questions
Tall and Rich
Designed to complement the growing popularity of higher ceilings and grand entryways, Therma-Tru’s Fiber-Classic Mahogany Collection is available in an 8-foot height, along with the traditional 6 foot 8 inches.
Green Windows from Weather Shield
Double-hung tilt, fiberglass-clad window from Weather Shield rounds out the EnduraShield line of premium fiberglass and fiberglass-clad windows and patio doors.
Silent Solution
Atrium Companies has extended its Silent Guard 7000 Series Acoustical Window line to include two new models of casement and awning windows: the Series 7500 Casement and 7600 Awning windows.
A Higher Level of Performance
The most energy-efficient product line Andersen has ever built, the A-Series meets the latest Energy Star performance criteria and incorporates reclaimed sawdust in the trim system.
Power-Friendly Tankless Water Heater
The eco-friendly design of the Noritz NR83-DVC whole-home residential tankless water heater features several green improvements, including reduced amounts of lead and cadmium, and less consumption of standby electricity.
Sleek and Accessible
Unlike typical accessible bathtubs, which look institutional, the Ava Bath from Aquatic features a sleek, modern design that adds a touch of class to any bathroom. The tub’s automated door lowers to open and rises to close, making entry and exit equally as simple for people who walk up or are in wheelchairs.
A Touch of Class
Add a touch of elegance to the kitchen with the Blanco Purus 1 faucet. Available in three different chrome/color finish combinations (black, light brown, and dark brown), as well as in solid chrome and satin nickel.
