Trim and Mouldings
Pound for pound, crown moulding, baseboard, window trim and door casings are the most visually influential feature in any building. Trim elements like these are also at the heart of a design revolution that’s making buildings look better, in classic and enduring ways.

Ventilating Cathedral Ceilings
Back in 1990, a friend of mine moved into a stately old home built in the small town near where I live, and since then he’s learned first-hand about the importance of cathedral ceiling ventilation. The house was built in 1890, by a commercial fishing tycoon whose family pioneered the area, and like many old homes of that era, no consideration was given to attic ventilation. ....Full Article

Air Barriers
A friend of mine still lives in the same rural farmhouse where he grew up in the 1930s, and this lets him tell the best story I’ve heard in support of insulation. Every winter morning as a boy, he’d wander downstairs to find a crust of ice on water buckets in the kitchen, something that lasted for about an hour until heat from the woodstove warmed the house. And even though his place is still heated entirely by wood today, sub-zero indoor temperatures are a thing of the past.....Full Article
