Maintenance is important for the longevity of your hardwood floors just as it is for anything you hope to use for years. Flooring is often neglected and abused more than any other purchased item and the fact we walk all over it doesn't help. Here are some helpful tips you can use to ensure your hardwood floor maintains its beauty and for as long as you need it to.

KWD Hardwood Disclaimer

27 October 2011

DISCLAIMER

If your floor is cupping, this does not mean that there is anything wrong with the product.
You should expect more shrinking in the areas directly over the furnace, near heat vents or in front of a fireplace since there is direct heat being applied in these places.
If you have a large space between boards, this may be from the house settling or the plywood beneath it shrinking which may pull the flooring apart.
The floor may also make strange noises when you walk over it. However, this is normal and over time these noises will cease to exist.
Scratching and denting are an evitable aspect of owning hardwood floors. Manufacturers do not cover scratches and dents in their warranties so it is the responsibility of homeowners to take care of their flooring.

Canada EcoEnergy Program for Windows and doors

27 October 2011

Kingston Windows and Doors can help you with energy efficient windows and doors for your new home. More importantl,y we can help you choose and install new energy efficient windows and doors that meet the requirements of the Canada ecoENERGYRetrofit - Home Program.

The Government of Canada has renewed the popular ecoENERGY Retrofit – Home program.

From June 6, 2011, until March 31, 2012, homeowners are eligible to receive grants of up to $5,000 to make their homes more energy-efficient. Homeowners who participated in the program to date have saved 20 percent on their energy bills.

There are two important changes to the program.

First, there is a requirement for participants to register directly with the program before booking their evaluation.
Second, homeowners will now be required to provide receipts to their energy advisor at the time of the post-retrofit evaluation to confirm eligibility for the grant.

The first step in the renewed ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program is to register:

New participants - If you or a previous owner have not obtained an energy evaluation of the property between April 1, 2007 and June 5, 2011.
Past participants - Homeowners who participated in the program between April 1, 2007 and June 5, 2011, and who did not receive the maximum amount of $5,000 can submit another application for improvements purchased and installed after June 6, 2011.
