Do you know about EVP Flooring?

Welcome to the evolution of LVP (luxury vinyl plank) flooring and yet another acronym for all of us to remember.  EVP (engineered vinyl plank) is the new kid on the block and a hybrid product which is taking all of the strong features found in laminate, engineered flooring and traditional luxury vinyl plank and mashing them together to create this exciting new take on an already great product. EVP is similar to LVP with a few differences that may lead this product to market domination in years to come.   Aside from the product being thicker and more rigid than LVP, it is most often labeled as a waterproof product and not “water resistant” like its LVP counterpart.  This most likely is due to the plastic core layer.  This makes it perfect for below grade settings like basements or slab homes with higher moisture content.  The product itself could remain unscathed if submerged in water but you will still have to be...

Not your Grandfather’s Hot Water Heater

Hot water heating equipment has evolved in a big way in the past decade or so. From tank-less systems to solar, roof-top units, the options are plenty. For 140 years, A. O. Smith has led the way in hot-water heating innovation, and is now one of the world’s leading hot water heating system manufacturers. Once again, they have created another solution. They have developed a super-efficient, gas-fired, residential hot water heater called “The Vertex.” It is a 50 gallon unit that promises to produce more hot water that most comparable 75 gallon gas units. For those of us with children—especially teenagers—we know how critical hot water demand can be. There are 2 primary models. “The Vertex” is a 75,000 BTU unit, and “The Vertex 100” is a 100,000 BTU unit. The 100 comes complete with an LCD, digital control display that not only provides you with the its performance calculations, but tracks performance history, displays diagnostics, and allows for easy...
