Maumee, OHIO (PRWEB) April 22, 2014
Everyone knows fiber in a diet can be good for people, but what about fiber in the home? According to the experts at Therma-Tru, fiberglass entry doors can be beneficial for homeowners and their houses.
"The bottom line is that durable fiberglass doors are energy efficient, resist rust, dents and rot, and are easy to maintain," says Brad Johnson, vice president of marketing for Therma-Tru Corp. "These are all important aspects for a product that can bring years of beauty to the home."
More than 90 percent of Therma-Tru door and glass options are ENERGY STAR qualified and National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) certified, which helps homeowners save money on energy costs.
Built with a polyurethane foam core, Therma-Tru fiberglass doors insulate against cold and heat for exceptional energy efficiency. The core essentially creates an energy-efficient entrance to the home, helping stabilize interior temperatures. With that polyurethane foam core, fiberglass doors offer homeowners up to four times the insulating R-Value of wood.*
When adding decorative or privacy glass to a fiberglass door, Therma-Tru products feature triple-pane construction, creating an exceptional thermal and acoustical barrier. Factory-coated Low-E glass, available as an option, delivers additional energy efficiency. And, with components engineered to work together to help maximize the seal between the door and the frame, the Therma-Tru fiberglass door helps keep heating and air conditioning sealed in the house to boost home energy efficiency.
"Fiberglass 'skins' on the doors provide durability and long-term performance," says Johnson. "A fiberglass door will not warp, split or crack. Because wood doors can absorb water, they can peel, bow, warp, rot or twist and wood is vulnerable to fading from sunlight. With a steel door, you run the risk of denting and scratching (which can lead to rust) and also paint chipping. A fiberglass door does not develop any unhealthy bi-products such as mold or rust."
Therma-Tru fiberglass door systems are meticulously crafted for reliable performance. From the glass to the hinges, the company's doors include time-tested components that are held to high standards. "Therma-Tru stands behind more parts of a door system for longer than other door companies because we make or specify everything that goes into the door," says Johnson. "And, a Therma-Tru fiberglass door system is backed by the industry's most comprehensive lifetime limited warranty."**
About Therma-Tru
Therma-Tru is the leading entry door brand most preferred by builders and remodelers. Founded in 1962, Therma-Tru pioneered the fiberglass entry door industry, and today offers a complete portfolio of entry and patio door system solutions, including decorative glass doorlites, sidelites and transoms, and door components. The company also offers low-maintenance Fypon urethane and PVC products. Headquartered in Maumee, Ohio, Therma-Tru is part of Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS).

Domestic help in the UAE: Maid for trouble?
Asma Ali Zain and Amira Agarib / 22 April 2014
It could be ill treatment or mental illness that leads a human being to the point of a violent breakdown and force him/her to take lives of innocent children. Khaleej Times explores the maladies affecting domestic help in the UAE and finds caution, awareness and a change in attitude are needed
For children, their caregivers are the people in whom they place their utmost trust. And if that trust is broken, it could forever impact their lives psychologically and physically.
A recent case in which a maid allegedly attacked three young children of her employer with a cleaver and poured boiling hot water over them shocked the nation. She reportedly claimed that she was being ill treated by her employers.
This is not the first time that such a case has hit the headlines. Earlier this year, a maid allegedly strangled an 11-month-old infant after she was refused a leave by her employers.
In the UAE, most maids are not trained nannies. Besides looking after children, they are also burdened with other household chores, which is why most of them complain of being overworked.
In 2012, 1,258 crimes involving maids were recorded in Dubai alone. In 2011, 1,395 similar crimes were recorded and in 2010, 1,276 were reported.
According to the police, crimes involving housemaids went up 20 per cent in 2009 as compared to 2008. In 2009, 451 crimes involving housemaids were recorded, up from 341 in 2008. In these cases, 17 children were assaulted by the domestic workers.
Police said 13 cases of assault on children were recorded in 2013 compared to three in 2012.

Domestic help in the UAE: Maid for trouble?
(04-22) 15:08 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco's Crissy Field has been a civic destination since it was reborn as bayside open space in 2001. Now, 13 acres that face it have captured the attention of some of the world's leading design firms.
The evidence for this is the list of five teams - only one led by a local firm - selected this week by the Presidio Trust to craft "concepts" for the parkland being created between Crissy Field and the Main Post's parade ground.
The teams will have three months to draw up proposals for the bluff-like landscape that will cover the tunnels being built to hold the traffic that now travels on Doyle Drive to and from the Golden Gate Bridge. After that, the quintet of visions will be shown to the public to help decide what approach should be taken at the unique setting.
"These five approaches will the raw material for conversations with the public about what the site wants to be," said Michael Boland, chief of planning for the trust, which manages nearly all of the 1,481-acre national park. "It has to work well, be compelling and be beautiful."
It's an unusual exercise in that the next step isn't to select a winner.
Instead, each team will receive $25,000 for the fruit of its labors. From there, a new competition might begin. Or, a separate team might be selected for each aspect of the landscape: the 10-acre "Tunnel Top Parklands" that will drape what has been renamed Presidio Parkway, a "youth campus" at the bottom of the bluff that will include outdoor spaces aimed at families, and the block at the foot of the parade ground that will hold a new visitors center.
Or, a single team will get the nod to continue on to full designs of the reshaped terrain.
"If one of these teams dazzles us and the public, we'll be very inclined to bring them on," Boland said.
The finalists include James Corner Field Operations, the landscape architect for New York's acclaimed High Line. Corner's firm - which also is a consultant to the developers of Pier 70 on the city's southern waterfront - assembled a team that includes several Bay Area horticultural firms and the local architectural firm Page & Turnbull.
The one team without a local component is led by Olin, a landscape architecture firm based in Philadelphia, and Seattle's Olson Kundig Architects. But it knows the terrain: Olin designed the redo of the Presidio parade ground that began with 2012's addition of an ample lawn.
