Let the
Sun Shine In
Velux Sun Tunnel™ skylights bring passive natural light into homes while admitting very little of the heat that other light sources sometimes produce. They capture light through a clear, weatherproof dome on the roof and transmit it through highly reflective tubing to a ceiling diffuser that looks like a traditional in-ceiling light fixture. Rigid tubing or flexible tubing to easily bypass attic obstructions is available. These skylights are easily and quickly installed and are particuarly useful in smaller or confined areas. Sizes include 10”, 14”, and 22” diameters. Optional light kits for nighttime use are available. For more information call 1-800-283-2831 or visit www.veluxusa.com.
You’re In Control
Jenn-Air Induction Cooktops set a new benchmark in cooking control. Induction technology allows heat to be adjusted instantly and with great precision, providing the accuracy homeowners desire for every type of cooking. Unlike conventional cooktops that create heat below a pot, the magnetic induction process turns the pot into the heating element, resulting in faster, more even and more energy-efficient heating. In fact, the technology is 90 percent energy efficient. Because induction technology transfers heat directly to the cookware instead of through the surface, the cooktop remains cool. This prevents spills from burning or baking onto the sleek surface, so it is simple to clean. Touch-activated LED controls make it easy to manage temperatures and monitor each element with 17 heat level settings and individual temperature displays.

Cool, Clear Water
When a plastic water bottle is tossed, its complicated lifespan is only beginning. Long after you’ve satisfied your thirst, that bottle sits in a landfill. Tens of millions more are destined for the dump every year. Luckily, the tap is back and smarter than ever. Everpure’s sophisticated line of home water filtration products offers the ultimate solution to all your water needs. Their exclusive precoat filtration technology combines MicroPure and a unique pleated filter membrane to reduce particles as small as ½ micron in size. This means that Everpure’s filtration systems can reduce contaminants such as lead and VOCs, plus chlorine, dirt, and oxidized iron, while maintaining vital minerals found naturally in water and offering a crisp, clean taste.

Rock Solid
PaperStone Certified is a beautiful and heavy-duty solid surface known for its performance, warm touch, contemporary appearance and environmental sustainability. It is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and a proprietary, petroleum-free resin that does not contain formaldehyde. It is the only solid surface material certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, Smartwood and the Rainforest Alliance. PaperStone has been a favorite of professional restaurants for years because its non-porous surface is durable and naturally discourages bacterial growth. PaperStone is similar in price to granite or other solid surface materials, and can be machined and installed in a similar manner. Several colors are available and can be viewed on their website at www.paperstoneproducts.com
Stay Dry
DryRight™ is fiberglass insulation faced with MemBrain™, CertainTeed’s patented vapor retarder that changes its molecular permeability under varying humidity conditions to allow wall cavities to stay dry. Moisture that becomes trapped in wall cavities can lead to mold growth and related problems — including structural damage, callbacks and liability issues. DryRight™ insulation helps reduce the presence of one of the key components for mold and mildew growth — moisture — by allowing excess moisture in wall cavities to escape. MemBrain™ changes its ability to resist the flow of water vapor depending on the conditions within the construction assembly. This innovative facing allows water vapor to pass through when relative humidity is high, either from seasonal changes or moisture intrusion. When humidity is low, MemBrain™ works to block the passage of moisture to reduce the likelihood of condensation on cold surfaces within the construction cavity.

Shower Power
The Oxygenics® system uses patented technology to continually introduce air into the shower water creating a powerful oxygenated spray. In fact, Oxygenics® can increase oxygen content in your water up to 10 times! The skin is the largest organ in the body, and it breathes. When oxygen is introduced to the skin, the skin will absorb the necessary oxygen it desires. In addition, the Five Star Resort Spa showerhead shown here is also environmentally friendly, because is only uses 2.5 gallons of water per minute, vs. 4.5 gallons used by a typical shower head. A $50 dollar investment in this new showerhead can save your family over $145 in water costs in just one year!
