Recent years have seen a resurgence of stone mixed with either board and batten or traditional siding on the exteriors of new homes. And stone isn’t just being used as an accent anymore!
Shiplap is a versatile and attractive option for adding texture, dimension and interest to a space, and in recent years, it has become quite a household name. When I came across Royal® Building Products PVC Shiplap I immediately knew it was the perfect remedy for my dated pink bathroom tile.
The bathroom in our 140-year-old fixer-upper hadn’t seen an update (I’m guessing) since the ‘60s. It had pink ceramic tile and gross linoleum floors — with countertops to match! The wall paint was peeling due to poor ventilation and the entire space felt dingy and extremely cluttered.
Home is where your (golf) cart is! Especially if you have it parked at the Red Sands Golf Course on Prince Edward Island. Canadian contractor Warren’s Carpentry worked with this client previously on their family home and when it came time to renovate their golf course, they knew they wanted to use Royal Building Products’ vinyl siding on the outside of the club house, as well.
The exterior of your home serves two very important purposes—first and foremost, it keeps water and pests out. Protecting the interior of your home from damage. Its second purpose is to create curb appeal, conveying your sense of style and making a statement about who lives there. While you may not give it much thought, your exterior trim system serves to tie those two functions together—bringing together your roof and siding, protecting your home from weather and accenting the architectural style of your home.
Spring is nature’s cue to renew and refresh. You can make the most of the new season and breathe new life into your home’s exterior without breaking your budget. The projects we’re detailing here will give you the most curb appeal bang for your buck.
While it’s not typically the star of interior design shows (with the exception of shiplap, of course!), trim and mouldings are some of the most versatile home building products out there. From beadboard to crown molding, trim profiles can be found in just about every width and style. And with PVC trim that can be painted and used anywhere, inside or outside your home, the design possibilities are endless.
