New Home Improvement Products: Exploring Our Top Favorites

Table of Contents

The little details in home improvement can have a massive impact, and our latest partnerships with top industry vendors are bringing some truly game-changing products to our clients’ doorsteps. We’re excited to share a few standout innovations that we’ve incorporated into our projects, elevating both functionality and aesthetic appeal. From high-tech weather barriers to the latest in outdoor living enhancements, these products are setting new standards for quality and performance.

Henry Blueskin VP100: A Game-Changer for Weather Protection

One of the most exciting products we’re currently using is the Henry Blueskin VP100. Traditionally, when we reside a house, we’ve used products like Tyvek or HardieWrap as a weather-resistant barrier. However, Blueskin VP100 takes it to the next level. This product is a peel-and-stick weatherproof membrane that not only provides superior protection but also meets the latest energy ratings, which can make homeowners eligible for a tax credit.

The benefits of this new product include:

  1. Energy Efficiency: It’s one of the only weather-resistant barriers that complies with the latest energy standards, which helps with air infiltration and makes your home more efficient.
  2. Ease of Installation: The peel-and-stick feature makes it easier for our team to apply, ensuring a more consistent and long-lasting result.

By using this product on all of our siding projects throughout the year, we’re helping homeowners stay ahead of the curve in terms of both energy savings and long-term weather protection.

Wood-Grain Composite Porch Panels from Royal

Another one of our favorite new products is the wood-grain composite porch panels by Royal. These panels offer a beautiful stained-wood appearance, making them perfect for anyone looking to enhance the look of their home’s entryway. We’ve noticed a growing trend where homeowners are investing more in these accent pieces, and these panels deliver that high-end look without the maintenance of real wood.

Key features include:

  • Durable and Low-Maintenance: Unlike real wood, these composites resist weathering and don’t require regular staining or sealing.
  • Realistic Aesthetic: The wood-grain design offers the warmth and elegance of traditional wood without any of the drawbacks.

We’ve used these porch panels on several projects recently, and the results are stunning. They add a modern touch to any home’s exterior while staying true to the timeless appeal of wood.

James Hardie Board and Batten: A Timeless Classic

James Hardie products are always a reliable choice, but recently we’ve seen a surge in the popularity of their board and batten vertical siding. This classic design is being used more frequently, especially on homes looking for a blend of traditional and contemporary styles. The vertical lines not only add texture but also give homes a taller, more imposing appearance.

This product stands out because:

  1. Increased Versatility: It can be paired with a variety of other siding options to create a customized look.
  2. Durability: Like all James Hardie products, board and batten siding is resistant to weather, pests, and fire, making it a long-lasting option for homeowners.

We’re excited to incorporate more of this siding into our projects and see the unique ways it can transform a home’s exterior.

Renaissance Enclosure System for Outdoor Spaces

For those looking to enhance their outdoor living areas, the Renaissance enclosure system is one of the most flexible and innovative solutions on the market. Whether you’re dreaming of a small screened-in porch or a large outdoor entertainment space, this system offers various sizes and customizations to fit your needs.

With options ranging from simple, open-air designs to fully wired spaces with ceiling fans, lights, and even televisions, this system provides a comfortable and stylish outdoor retreat.

Key highlights of the Renaissance enclosure system:

  • Customizable Sizes: Available in various sizes to fit any outdoor area.
  • Add-Ons: Options for lighting, fans, and entertainment setups make it adaptable for any occasion.

We’ve started using this system in several recent projects, and homeowners love how it extends their living space while blending seamlessly with the home’s design.

Provia Doors: Adjustable Threshold for a Perfect Fit

Another product we can’t get enough of is the Provia adjustable threshold door. If you’ve ever had trouble with a door not sealing properly or letting in drafts, this product solves those issues with ease. The threshold is spring-activated, allowing it to adjust as the door opens and closes, ensuring a tight, weatherproof seal every time.

Why this product is a game-changer:

  1. Improved Energy Efficiency: The adjustable threshold provides a better seal, helping to keep the interior temperature stable and reduce energy bills.
  2. Low Maintenance: With fewer issues related to drafty doors, homeowners can enjoy a more comfortable home without frequent adjustments.

As home technology advances, it’s details like this that set products apart. The adjustable threshold is just one of the reasons why we’re recommending Provia doors to all our clients.

Wolf Decking and Alu-Rex Gutter Systems

Outdoor living spaces deserve the same level of attention as your home’s interior, and products like Wolf decking and Alu-Rex gutter systems help elevate these spaces to new heights. Wolf decking offers a low-maintenance, high-durability solution for decks, while Alu-Rex gutters combine gutter guards and hangers into one seamless system.

Benefits of these products include:

  • Wolf Decking: Resistant to weather, fading, and warping, making it perfect for long-term outdoor use.
  • Alu-Rex Gutters: A built-in filtration system allows water to flow while keeping debris out, reducing the need for frequent gutter cleaning.

Both of these home improvement products have become staples in our outdoor projects, and homeowners appreciate how they blend functionality with style.

In Summary

These are just a few of our favorite home improvement products that we’re incorporating into our projects. Whether it’s the latest in weather-resistant membranes, energy-efficient windows, or beautifully crafted porch panels, we’re always on the lookout for innovations that provide long-term benefits for homeowners.
