Transcripts

Host:

Here is what is coming up on Saturday on the next two hours of the around the House Show.

Host:

Now that Thanksgiving is out of the way, we dive into trying to make your home more durable to damaging storms, hurricanes and wildfires.

Host:

And in the second hour we talk about using a new product for your outdoor living area that protects you all year long.

Host:

Make sure you are subscribed to the podcast so you don't miss an episode.

Expert:

As we evolve into these fire resistant landscape designs.

Expert:

One, they can be esthetically appealing and there's so many options for folks.

Expert:

I get that it's a lot of work but I do hope as landscape design companies start offering maybe even like think about packages that are for wildfire resistant.

Expert:

Like they already have some pre designed sets that you could pick from.

Expert:

But also as we look at the use of mitigation grant money that should be in the cards is how to deal with Your own Zone 0 and your own get your landscape in a form.

Expert:

You should be able to get a grant for that to become fire resistant.

Expert:

And as we learn more I think we will see it because we'll have actual targeted things we can start pointing to that.

Expert:

Hey, our dollars are best spent here.

Product Specialist:

Find those in most retail home centers.

Product Specialist:

And this product, the Easy Glaze is three times thicker than what you would get at with the Suntuff product in those retail locations.

Product Specialist:

So yes, what you have that ability to do is to span those 24 inch on center rafters and that certainly allows much more light to penetrate the living area below than our other product offerings do.

Product Specialist:

And that was the whole goal behind Easy Glaze is how to really open up your outdoor living segment to truly enjoy the protection from the elements.

Product Specialist:

Allow as much light in as possible.

Product Specialist:

Because again, if you got purlins, great, we can install over top the purlins.

Product Specialist:

But that kind of defeats the purpose.

Product Specialist:

You want to allow as much light in as possible.

Product Specialist:

So when you run these, the Easy Glaze panels right over 24 inch on center rafters, you're allowing maximum light in and you can really truly enjoy the outdoors.
