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!!

What is it that makes a house a home? And more importantly, what is it that makes it your home? Maybe it is the little touches that personalize the look; the things that make a definitive statement in setting your home apart from all the rest. Sometimes this entails a new color in paint or siding or possibly a little gardening and landscaping for a unique touch. Or maybe it could be something as simple and inexpensive as a custom address plaque.
Traditionally address plaques have been wall mounted and placed to the immediate right of the front entry door. However, there are no longer any true rules that you must abide by; after all the idea is to personalize your home. Plaques can be lawn mounted when ordered with the optional yard stakes. I have even seen one embedded into the corner of the concrete slab patio facing upwards towards the sky, a truly unique application with beautiful affects.
With a wide variety of styles and colors one can easily find a combination to suit your individual desire. There are plaques embossed with flowers such as roses or morning glories. There are classic designs such as eagles and fleur de leis patterns. Nautical themes, golf themes, beach themes, sporting animals and occasion specific plaques are all available to help make your entryway easily identifiable as well as unique. Personalized markers are available to honor beloved pets. Fifteen color combinations are also offered for most styles!
