Yes, it’s true. You can actually wrap a post in just about 15 minutes start to finish. That’s all it takes using Fypon’s PVC Column Wraps. The key is the installation kit which includes the two pieces of wrap (shaft), the cap and base cleats, adhesive caulk and instructions. Standard carpentry and woodworking tools can be used on the PVC for cutting and nailing. Coarse thread, galvanized or stainless steel drywall screws can be used as fasteners. It has a workability consistent with white pine. Best of all, these can be painted. That’s right; this PVC material can be painted using colors with a LRV (Light Reflection Value) of 54% or higher. With both Tapered and Non-Tapered styles you can choose from 6”, 8”, 10” and 12” shaft widths, and heights of 72”, 96”, 108”, 120”, and 144”. The designs are varied as well; flat, fluted, and several recessed panel options. Custom heights and widths can be quoted as well. For a more decorative feel optional cap and bases are available in styles such as Greek, Craftsman, Prairie and Tuscan. 15 minutes to beauty: that’s a wrap!!

Functional gable vents (also known as louvers) provide proper air circulation for attic spaces while adding architectural interest to your home’s exterior. Attic spaces take the brunt of both hot, humid summer temperatures and winter’s bitter cold. During the summer months you keep your home cool and comfortable with air conditioning, but these systems do not exist in your attic causing significant heat build up and humidity that cannot escape. Then during the winter months cold, stagnant air can cause condensation build up putting your home at risk for mildew and mold. A simple solution to regulate your attic’s temperature and humidity levels is the addition of an open louver gable vent. Vinyl gable vents are ideal if you are seeking a maintenance free vent that is easy to install. Vinyl gable vents come in 18 colors, plus a paintable option for a custom color match.
