Exterior Coating, Texture Coatings, Green Energy Savings

Texture Coating is not paint. It is a specifically designed coating that shields your home from even the most extreme weather conditions when applied to the home's exterior. Texture Coating is so durable that it is backed a warranty for as long as you own your home.
The Texture Coating System is the result of over forty years of research and testing to find the perfect exterior texture coating product. Developed by one of the worlds’ leading coatings manufacturers, the Texture Coating System utilizes many of the same chemical properties that TCA uses to protect some of the largest commercial structures found around the globe. Today, Texture Coating products are protecting some of the largest bridges, buildings ‚ even military bases. The reason for its popularity is its durability and low maintenance. With the Texture Coating System, your home receives the same kind of benefits.
Texture Coatings have been specially formulated to reflect the sun's heat, lowering surface temperatures by up to 40 degrees when compared to traditional paints in many colors. This revolutionary heat reflective finish produces a longer service life and the best weathering and durability in the industry.
Having Texture Coating applied to your home can help you save tens of thousands of dollars in painting costs over the life of your home. In fact, depending upon where you live in the country, you could save thousands. Over time, Texture Coating will pay for itself in savings.

Save Money with Energy Saving Texture Coating

If it's time to paint your house again, consider using a texture coating system instead of paint. Paint can chip, peal, and flake over time. Exposure to sun, rain, heat, and cold can alter the color as well. Also, house paint does not reflect heat and does not create a protective barrier between your home and the elements.

Conversely, texture coating is not paint. Instead, it is a protective coating that has been designed to actually reflect heat away from the exterior of your home. While house paint has no reflective qualities, texture coating can lower the exterior temperature of your home by as much as 40 degrees. When your home is cooler on the outside, it's naturally cooler on the inside, using less electricity. Your air conditioner won't have to work as hard and as a result, you will save money on your electric bill.

Most types of texture coating come with a lifetime guarantee - as long as you own your home. If you paint your home every couple of years, you will end up saving thousands of dollars over time on painting costs. Texture coating is both durable and energy efficient. At the same time, texture coating is also available in pretty much any color you would want. When making the decision to paint your home, consider texture coating instead for it's lifetime guarantee and energy efficiency.

Florida Hurricane Impact Windows and Doors

If you own a home in Florida, then you really need to invest in hurricane protection. A great way to protect your home during a hurricane is with new hurricane windows and doors.

Unlike ordinary windows, hurricane doors and windows are designed and built to withstand hurricane force winds. Because impact windows and doors are manufactured with a piece of heavy polyvinyl butyral plastic interlayer sandwiched between two pieces of double–strength glass, they will protect your home from strong winds and debris.

Impact doors and windows will not only withstand a hurricane, they will withstand break-in attempts as well. Because they are built sturdy and are well sealed, it is practically impossible to break the window using common tools.

You can rest easy knowing that your home and family are safe and secure inside with impact windows and doors.

Energy bills can be a big concern. Impact doors and windows are solid and tightly sealed, preventing heat or cooling loss. Tiny cracks can be a major source of air leaks, bringing in hot air from outdoors and allowing the cool air from inside to leak out. Imapact windows and doors prevent that type of air leakage, lowering your energy bills by up to 40%. Impact windows and doors are a great investment in that they protect your home from hurricanes, theft, and they pay for themselves in energy savings.
