New Vinyl Windows! Ohhh La La

Vinyl replacement windows will make a dramatic difference in your home. Whether it is improving energy efficiency, updating the décor, or adding value to your home, getting old windows replaced has many benefits. When windows are old and leaky, they let a tremendous amount of energy out of the house. Some of the new energy-efficient products really do make a night and day difference in lowering energy bills.

Vinyl windows are great when it comes to enjoying a more consistent temperature in your home, year round. If you are hoping your home can be warmer in winter and cooler in the summer months, vinyl, dual pane windows offer energy efficient options you can select based on the state in which you live.

Once you’ve installed your vinyl windows, there’s very little maintenance is required. A little soap water will keep your vinyl frames looking their best if they get dirty (or if bird droppings occur.) 

Comfort, strength and peace of mind are great benefits when considering vinyl windows for your home.

Patio doors were once found only in the homes of the wealthy and aristocratic. Modern manufacturing techniques have made them more widely available and today, there are more choices than ever. From traditional French doors to modern bi-fold doors, you can mix and match the styles to create your dream home.

Craftsman Style Window Trim

Upgrade your windows and doors with Craftsman style casing and trim. If you love the Farmhouse trend, then you will love this look. It’s an easy, cost effective way to update, upgrade, and add Architectural interest to any room.  To expand the height to create an illusion of larger doorways and higher ceilings…..and also make them a little fancier.

One of the easiest and simplest ways to spice up a “plain-jane” room is by adding moulding and millwork to existing door trim. This creates instant architectural detail, resulting in the doors looking larger and more substantial.

To design this look, we used pre-primed MDF boards. You can use solid wood but we chose MDF boards because they are pretty much perfect, consistent in thickness and width, and perfectly smooth with no wood grain or knot holes to deal with.

These doors are particularly popular because they allow for some privacy, while still offering a visual connection between two spaces.

Make an Impact with Moulding!

One of the easiest ways to upgrade a room is to beef up all the moldings, adding width, depth and height to the trim. The increased framing adds depth to the walls, especially if it is painted the same color as the walls for a unified look.

Why we need Baseboards

In architecture, a baseboard (also called skirting board, skirting, mop-board, floor molding, or base molding) is usually wooden or vinyl board covering the lowest part of an interior wall. Its purpose is to cover the joint between the wall surface and the floor. Baseboards provide a useful function in a house. They are not purely aesthetic. They protect the bottom of the drywall from being damaged, they build a stopping point for dirt, they keep drywall/paint from being damaged by feet (shoes).

Why we need Casing

Casings are the moldings that go around the window frames. They are installed outside the house to seal the window frame to the house blocking cold air from entering the interior. Inside, casings are the finishing touch to a window installation, the same as baseboards and door moldings finish off a room. Openings in walls without doors are framed with woodwork called “casing.” This trim, which wraps from one side of the wall to the other, defines the opening and protects the wall surface from scratches. A cased opening can suggest separation between two rooms without interrupting flow.

The trim that surrounds a door frame is called casing, and it’s always installed before baseboard and chair rail because they have to butt against it. Casing is also the easiest type of molding to install because the joinery is simple, making it a perfect first project.

Why use Crown

Crown molding encapsulates a large family of moldings which are designed to gracefully flare out to a finished top edge. Crown molding is generally used for capping walls, pilasters, and cabinets, and is used extensively in the creation of interior and exterior cornice assemblies and door and window hoods. . Crown molding is a visual treat that adds a touch of elegance. 

I Love the finished look of the Baseboard, Crown moulding and the Chair rail in this room. It Adds a Luxurious Feel, and a Upscale look to any home.

Crown Molding
A deep crown molding can add architecture to a room that has little, and it draws the eye upward in much the same way curtains hung at ceiling height do. I also like substantial crown molding. Good proportions are easily magnified with strong, heavy moldings, A simple 8-foot room can become much more dynamic with a simple but strong 5-inch crown molding and 5-inch base molding. By emphasizing the base and ceiling, the room has much more character and strength.
