By its nature, insulation is a fairly simple thing. You have walls that provide your home with shelter and you use foam to better fortify them and help do their job. But as technology has progressed, we have been able to find better and better ways to help insulation do this. Foam is a great example.

For one thing, there is open and closed cell foam. Canada homes are filled with both and both. Open cell foam simply means that many of the cells inside it are open, making for a lighter material that is also more flexible. On the other hand, closed cell foam has more cells which are closed ant this makes for a more rigid material. Both have their own advantages when it comes to insulation. The one that’s best for you will depend on your unique needs.

Use Glass to Make Your Pool Stand Out

When it comes to having a pool, there’s a lot to be excited about. Not only is there the joy of using it, but also the prospect of how it will raise your property value. However, they can just as easily become an eyesore you’d like people to avoid at all costs. One of the easiest ways to add a serious dimension of style to your home is by utilizing glass. Read on for how.

Glass pool walls take your pool’s look to another level. For example, they can make the water appear to be freestanding. When people are in the pool, you can see them swim underwater. Furthermore, because of exposure, the sun can easily help keep the water warm.

Every pool needs a fence, by law. But not all fences are created the same. Glass fences are a gorgeous way of keeping everyone safe and your property looking amazing. With glass frameless fencing, you are able to see directly into the pool area which helps you keep an eye on small children. When you’re enjoying the water, you’ll get more exposure to the sun and have less wind and unwanted sound to deal with.

Seat Foams Explained

When it comes to sitting down, there probably doesn’t seem like there’s much to it. For the most, it is a leisurely activity, after all. As far as modern amenities go, our couches, sofas and loveseats may not be the most advanced science in our homes, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less important.

Seat foam, for example, is the material that takes our weight when we sit down on much of our favorite furniture. Sofa seat cushions are built to take our weight and give enough push back that we don’t immediately sink and hit the furniture’s frame.

There is a very specific science that goes into this ability. However, this science does not make the foam impervious to old age. After enough exposure to sitting, your foam will begin losing its touch and you will need to consider replacing it.

When looking to replace your seat foam, it’s best to look for foam that is pre-cut in the shape you need it. The other alternative is to buy stuffing which will necessitate a boring, laborious process no one needs. Also, be sure you’re purchasing the right kind of foam or you’ll immediately notice that your seat now has too much, or too little, give.

While it’s easy to take for granted, the right kind of foam makes all the difference. Be sure to keep an eye on yours and, when necessary, to replace it properly . ______________________________________________________________________

While there are plenty of applications for fake grass, one of the most popular is quickly becoming residential lawns.
