Wednesday, December 13, 2000 Dress up your home with designer accessories A quick look from the curb can tell you if your home makes a fashion statement or lacks appeal. If your home desperately needs a makeover, you're not alone. According to Remodeling magazine, over 25 million Americans are planning to remodel their homes this year. Exterior accessories are an excellent way to polish a home's appearance. Adding shutters, door or window surrounds, or a unique trim offers a simple solution to updating a home's curb appeal. Plus, accessories offer: · Low-maintenance materials that require little work to assure their beauty for years to come. · A customized appearance that helps homes make a fashion statement in any neighborhood. · The finishing touch that make your homes go from ordinary to extraordinary. The designer accessories from Alcoa Building Products may be what you need for that attractive, low-maintenance appeal today's busy homeowners desire. Shutters offer a subtle distinction in 10 colors. Open-louvered and raised panel styles are available to reflect your personal taste. A transom or arch top can add additional accents to the showcase appeal shutters provide. Window mantels are a great way to add class and architectural interest. Two options-standard, and dentil-trimmed as well as a keystone attachment for both-provide a simple way to make any window eye-catching. Make your front entrance say "Welcome" by adding a door surround system. Pediments, pilasters, mantels, and keystone overlays customize virtually any size door. Accent Panels in round, and square shapes highlight any roof peak. Blending with a variety of building materials, gable vents are both attractive and functional. The perfect accent for any roof line, dentil molding is a small touch that adds a big difference. Crown molding is an option for those who wish to add flair to soffit or siding.
