Does the inside of your home need some freshening up? If you have an hour, even the most novice do-it-yourselfers can brighten up a room with fast out-of-the-box-and-onto-the-house decorative urethane millwork pieces from Fypon.

Project 1 – Surround the interior of an entryway door with pilasters and a crosshead to maximize the look of your main door’s interior. While you’re at it, surround a room divider with pilasters and a crosshead to make transitioning from one room to another a unique experience.

With green home building on the rise, stock house plan companies like The House Designers are making it easier for builders and consumers to build an energy-efficient home with their award-winning, exclusive collection of ENERGY STAR® house plans. The House Designers 3rd annual ENERGY STAR®/Green House Plan Competition is currently being judged by home building experts and winners will be announced in June. Winning house plans from last June’s competition were recently recognized by Green Builder Magazine and will be featured in their April issue.
A recent Green Home Builders and Remodelers study released by McGraw-Hill Construction at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando confirmed that green home building is on the rise. Key findings stated that green homes comprised 17% of the overall residential construction market in 2011 and are expected to reach between 29% and 38% of the home market by 2016. Many builders expect that 90% of their projects will be dedicated to green home building techniques and products, which is why designers and architects like The House Designers (THD) are committed to creating innovative, sustainable homes.
All winning house plans include product specifications featured directly on the blueprints from Therma-Tru®, Fypon®, Wayne-Dalton® and Lumber Liquidators® so consumers can easily select these energy-efficient building products before construction begin.

Fypon Stone and Timber Trellis System
In my last post, I promised 5 more project ideas for exterior home upgrades. Well here you go….
Project 6- If your home has a Victorian style, add a gable pediment to accent the home’s exterior.
Project 7 – Don’t forget the garage. Invest a bit longer than an hour and you can install a Fypon PVC Trellis System kit to accent a single or double garage door. Each kit includes outlookers reinforced with PVC for durability, attractive beams, lattice and hardware needed to complete the job.
Project 8 – Cover up unsightly wooden posts with a Fypon PVC Column Wrap. The semi-assembled, two-piece wrap classic style wrap installs in just 15 minutes.
Project 9 – Use crosshatch or square decorative panels made out of lightweight urethane to serve as see-through “gates” to keep pets and children separated from prized flowers and bushes.
Project 10 – Accent a bay window with a window panel. Raised panels add dimension and style to the exterior of the home while resisting moisture, rot and insects.
Fypon pieces come pre-primed, ready for installation. All products need to be glued and nailed or screwed to the wall, then painted to your preference. To locate the closest Fypon dealer to you and learn more about Fypon products, visit http://www.fypon.com/dealerlocator/.

Replace your old wooden louver with a new urethane louver form Fypon
Short on time, but looking to make a big change on the outside of your home? The experts at Fypon, LLC have a variety of one-hour “out-of-the-box-and-onto-the-home” products that can help add curb appeal to your home’s exterior.
Constructed of durable urethane, Fypon® products are lightweight and easy to install, making these projects ideal for many do-it-yourselfers. Each decorative piece comes pre-primed and resists insect infestations, rot, decay and moisture, making for long-term low-maintenance of these home enhancements.
Start-to-finish, here’s what you can achieve in about one hour:
Project 1 – Make your entryway more welcoming with an elegant door surround. Start with fluted pilasters on either side of the door and then top the door with a crosshead or decorative pediment — try a rams head, sunburst, acorn or peaked cap style.
Project 2 – Trim out the exterior windows facing the street. Use crossheads for over a window and top with a solid, decorative or recessed panel keystone accent piece. On the sides and below the window, use moulding pieces with plinth blocks in the corners to eliminate miter cuts.
Project 3 – Accent a bay window by adding window panels below the opening.
Project 4 – Replace an older, rotting wooden louver with a low-maintenance urethane louver. Fypon offers both functional louvers that have a noncorrosive fiberglass screen backing to keep insects out while allowing maximum airflow to enter the attic and non-functioning decorative louvers.
Project 5 – Flank the windows on the front of your home with easy-care urethane shutters. Choose from a selection of louvered, raised panel or plank shutters. Paint or stain the pre-primed shutters to complement any home exterior.
In our next post, we will add 5 additional one hour projects to this list.
