Molding & Trim - Better Homes & Gardens
Maumee, Ohio (PRWEB) August 04, 2014
During National Curb Appeal Month, the experts at Fypon remind homeowners that the importance of curb appeal can never be underrated when you own a home. Whether its pride of ownership, fitting in with the neighborhood (or standing out!), the exterior of your home reflects your personality and can create positive impressions. And, if youre selling your house, the importance of curb appeal jumps ten-fold as you try to position your home for an instant connection with potential buyers.
There are dozens of easy ways to upgrade different exterior aspects of your home. Many of these enhancements can be achieved with Fypon synthetic products. Lightweight yet durable, these low-maintenance pieces resist insect infestations, rot, decay and moisture. Try any of the following fast and easy installations to transform the look of your home:
1.Trim out exterior windows. 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.
2.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 decorative pediment --- try a rams head, sunburst, acorn or peaked cap style.
3.Accent a bay window by adding window panels below the opening.
4.Add classic crown or fascia dentil moulding beneath gutters and eaves to heighten the appearance of your home.
5.Replace a rotting wooden porch system with a new structural balustrade system which includes porch posts, top and bottom rails, balusters and all the other pieces essential to create a great, weather-resistant porch.
6.Interlock and install pieces of PVC Beaded Board on the ceiling of a porch or sunroom and then use the same low-maintenance materials for a wainscot treatment on the walls.
7.If you have a ceiling fan on a front porch, add a two-piece ceiling medallion around the fan's base to add style to your entire porch.

AZEK Building Products Inc. 888 North Keyser Avenue Scranton, PA, 18504 USA Press release date: July 24, 2014
SCRANTON, Pa. -- AZEK Building Products is making it easier than ever to visualize AZEK house trim, deck, railing and paver products on a home, with a new, free AZEK iPad App that provides the power to re-imagine home and outdoor living spaces in realistic 2D and 3D! With the new AZEK App, it's easy to turn dreams of outdoor living spaces into visual reality with a simple tap or swipe using five different product scenarios. From inspired trim and moulding applications, deck and railing designs, porch colors, and paver layouts, the AZEK App places the power of creative outdoor visualization in any user's hands.
Starting out in the 2D section, an iPad user can choose any of five home scenes, and mix and match products, designs, and colors to customize the scenes. They can also learn about the full suite of AZEK products by watching videos and viewing the extensive photo galleries. After exploring the 2-dimensional visualization images and customizing AZEK product color schemes, the user can then take the design to the level of cutting-edge 3D technology to bring an entire house to life.
In the 3D experience, a user will scan what is known as a "visualization marker", such as the cover of any AZEK catalog or a downloadable image from http://www.azek.com/iPad, to enter the exciting world of Augmented Reality (AR). In the AR experience, a 3D AZEK home appears and a user can personalize the house, rotate it 360 degrees, change product colors and then zoom in to make sure it's perfectly designed. If a visualization marker isn't available, Virtual Reality (VR) mode can be used to view and customize the AZEK home in 3D.
Once the home has been customized, it will be easy to imagine how a family might enjoy their outdoor spaces - with special moments on the front porch, back deck, or even on the paver patio. And, after completion, the dream design can be saved, adding notes or tags, and then shared with friends. A user can even invite others to experience it.
Creating the perfect outdoor space has never been easier than with the free 3D AZEK App.

Mazdas 2014 Mazda3 scores on all four cylinders: great tech, excellentdriving, a reasonable price, and efficiency. Mazda has extended big car features such as adaptive cruise control and a head-up display down to the compact car class. With SkyActiv engine technology, its improving fuel economy up to 41 mpg and cutting emissions, and breaking new ground with capacitor-based brake regeneration.
No one forces all the Mazda tech on you. Its there if you want it, for instance if youre moving down from a bigger car and still want the driver assists, or if youve seen the lifesaving benefits of Smart City Brake Support (Mazda) or City Safety (Volvo). The combination of tech, performance and space efficiency earns the 2013 Mazda3 our Editors Choice as best mainstream compact car.
The 2014 Mazda3 is a new model and a significant improvement over the 2010-2013 second generation Mazda3. Its offered as a four-door sedan at 180 inches or five-door hatchback thats five inches shorter but hasmore cargo-hauling capacity. An entry sedan goes for $17,000 while a loaded five-door with the larger four-cylinder engine and tech package comes in at $30,000.
The exterior and interior designs flow better in 2014. The tiny, smartphone-size navigation screen is gone, replaced by a 7-inch LCD that sits atop the dash. Critics say it looks tacked on while fans say the design evokes a flat panel TV on a platform and note the same look is popular on high end German cars, so why is everybody picking on Mazda. A simplified cockpit controller (compared to BMW iDrive) on the console makes selections on the LCD display.
Every Mazda3 has a USB jack, most cars have Bluetooth, and blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert are readily available beyond the entry trim lines. To simplify matters for Mazda and dealers (fewer variants to stock), most of the advanced tech is in a single $2600 technology package at the upper end: adaptive cruise control (radar cruise control in Mazda lingo), lane departure warning, automatic high beams, forward obstruction warning, Smart City Brake Support, active grille shutters to cut wind resistance, and brake regeneration (i-ELOOP). Whats not in the tech package is also impressive: no moonroof, no anthracite headliner, no body side moulding.
Forward obstruction warning uses the ACC radar and warns if you about to rear-end the car ahead when youre traveling 10 mph or faster. Smart City Brake Support uses a windshield-embedded laser to detect objects when youre moving 3-19 mph (4-30 kph). Youre warned, the brakes are pre-charged, and if youre still unresponsive (say, texting), the car brakes for you. It may stop in time and at least it will mitigate the collision.
The coolest and most unique Mazda technology is the one that sounds like a breakfast cereal at the Apple Labs cafeteria: i-ELOOP. Thats intelligent energy loop. When you slow or brake, the alternator turns kinetic energy into electricity and stores it not in a battery but capacitors. Mazda says it can be used to power the headlamps, climate control, and the audio system, with enough energy savings to bump up fuel efficiency by as much as 10%, according to Mazda. Even 5% would be impressive.

2014 Mazda3 review: Best tech compact is also the best-handling small car
June 23, 2014: Permanent four-wheel drive and all-road equipment 2.0 TDI engine with 150 and 184 PS Robust, elegant design with premium interior State-of-the-art ACC with Front Assist and SEAT Drive Profile The new SEAT Leon X-PERIENCE, with permanent four-wheel drive and all-road equipment, offers driving fun wherever you may choose to go. The newest member of the successful Leon line-up combines emotional design with state-of-the-art technology, together with optimum usability and surprising versatility. With an exceptionally high level of performance and safety, the latest-generation all-wheel drive and a full array of state-of-the-art assistance systems, the Leon X-PERIENCE is offered with 2.0 TDI 150PS and 184PS outputs.
The new Leon X-PERIENCE completes SEATs highly successful Leon range. Alongside the dynamic two-door Leon SC, the elegant five-door Leon, the versatile Leon ST estate and the high-performance Leon Cupra, the Leon X-PERIENCE is the perfect companion for a varied and active lifestyle.
The new Leon X-PERIENCE interprets our emotional design language in a whole new way. This functional aesthetic, this elegant robustness and safety shows an openness to new ideas. We maintain the youthful spirit with a distinctive feel for the practical things in life says Jrgen Stackmann, President of SEAT S.A. The Leon X-PERIENCE is the perfect fit for SEAT. As the next step in our brand strategy, it will expand and consolidate the great success achieved by the Leon.
Alongside the latest-generation TDI engines and permanent all-wheel drive with intelligent, electronic control, the Leon ST X-PERIENCE boasts all-road suspension with extra ground clearance. A distinctive off-road look and individual interior offer an added dimension of driving fun, together witha wide array of ultra-modern technologies. These include a four-wheel EDS dynamic control system (electronic differential locks on both axles), an extended electronic differential lock for better traction while cornering (XDS), an electronic stability programme and a multi-collision brake system delivering maximum safety.
Further optional hi-tech features include full-LED headlights, ACC Adaptive Cruise Control with City Emergency Brake function, drowsiness detection and lane-keeping assistant.
On tarmac or gravel, in sun, rain or snow with its all-wheel drive, the Leon X-PERIENCE takes it all in its stride, demonstrating its superb dynamics on all types of road with absolutely no negative impact on either comfort or usability. Emotional driving fun and exceptional usability this is where the customer finds both, says Dr. Matthias Rabe, Vice-President for Research and Development at SEAT S.A. The Leon X-PERIENCE also offers outstanding safety in all situations, thanks to its superb traction, excellent brakes and integrated assistance systems that extend all the way to ACC adaptive cruise control with Front Assist and emergency braking function.
The highly acclaimed design language of the Leon family has been further accentuated for the X-PERIENCE. Sharp lines provide the all-road estate with a stunning appearance of energy and vitality. The dynamic silhouette is long and graceful, yet the Leon X-PERIENCE offers the full spectrum of usability for work and leisure, family and sport. The luggage compartment offers a carrying capacity of 587 litres, which extends to as much as 1,470 litres with the rear-seats folded down.
The Leon X-PERIENCE derives its own distinct character from the robust protection moulding on the door sills and wheel arches. The powerful front end is adorned with substantial air intakes and integrated fog lamps with cornering light function, plus the front spoiler with its aluminium-look. The rear end, too, is distinguished by its new bumper with an aluminium-look insert and by the chrome tailpipes, which are standard on the 2.0 TDI 184 PS. The large wheel arches can accommodate 17-inch or optional 18-inch wheels in a dedicated five-twin-spoke design. The roof rails are finished in black.
Premium interior
The Leon X-PERIENCE emphasises its premium position within the Leon family with its unique trim. In the interior, new materials, attention to detail and a combination of strong colours give this car more personality. It offers the black and grey sporty elegance of high-quality fabric upholstery, as well as the option of brown Alcantara or all-black leather seats.

SEAT Leon X-PERIENCE
Unveiled in 1972, the Peugeot 104 was a compact car with a simple and honest design by Paolo Martin. The most powerful ZS model was more of a warm hatch than a hot one, but it did feature a 1124cc engine with 66bhp. Thanks to the car's weight of only 760kg, the car could reach speeds of up to 100mph - terrifying in a 104.
At the time, Peugeot enjoyed a great relationship with Pininfarina, the latter believing there was an opportunity there to create a back-to-basics little sports car offering cheap thrills to an optimistic young audience.
Using the 104 ZS as a base, Pininfarina designed the Peugette with production in mind and optimized every component accordingly, starting with the panels which were designed to be interchangeable.
The clamshell hood and the trunk lid were identical, and so were the doors and the sills, which could be swapped from left to right. Only the nose and the tail moulding differed, yet they included carryover lamps from the 104 and also acted as integrated bumpers. Finally Pininfarina added on a rollbar and a crossbeam behind the seats for extra safety and to make up for the loss of transverse rigidity.
Different versions were made. The original was first shown at the 1976 Turin Motor show as a two-seater roadster with a low windscreen and a soft top. The interior looked very distant from the 104 but it still used the same tachometer and gauges, only laid out differently along the top of the dashboard.
Other elements like windscreen wipers, heater controls and vents were also carried over. The slim bucket seats were new and offered appropriate lateral support at shoulder level but no headrests. It was painted red with gray trim and finished with playful stripes bearing the Italian colors.
The second version was shown the following year at the Geneva Show: a monoposto variant intended for one selfish driver. This version included a large panel which covered the passenger seat. As a proper barchetta, it also ditched the large windscreen for a frameless piece of perspex wrapping around the driver's seat. The square pods were also moved behind the steering wheel for better visibility. A coup and even a pick-up variant were also planned but never built.
Thanks to its deep dish wheels and large tires, the Peugette not only looked cool, it also had the potential to handle like a kart. It was 60kg lighter than the 104 ZS and, by the time it was unveiled, Peugeot had launched a range of optional upgrades for the engine that could have pushed its power up to 80bhp.
It had all the ingredients to become a unique and exciting addition to the Peugeot range. The French firm was very interested and kept car for over two months to study it and play with it. Eventually someone decided the car would not sell and it was sent back to Pininfarina and completely forgotten; a real shame. No guts, no glory.
First seen 1976 Turin Motor Show Length 3,340mm Width 1,540mm Height 1,150mm Wheelbase 2,230mm Weight 700kg Engine 1124cc four-cylinder, 66bhp
