The mother of all doors: the garage door

THE RIGHT CHOICE A garage door represents up to 30 percent of your home’s frontage. It is therefore extremely important that it blends with the overall style of the house. Wooden doors are perfect for country-style houses; coated or embossed steel doors blend well with conventional styles; and aluminum doors with transparent, matte, coloured, or frosted glass options are ideal for a modern look. There are two main types of doors on the market. Upand-over garage doors are available with a canopy gear or retractable gear mechanism. These doors come in one piece and roll on rails towards the ceiling. Then there are sliding doors, whose panels slide on rails, either on the ceiling or wall. Square, rectangular, or arched windows can be added to all these models. You just have to match the colour and texture of the windows to the house, according to your taste. Another aspect that should not be overlooked is the door’s insulation. It helps to keep a stable temperature in the garage and also increases the insulation of adjacent rooms.

PROPER MAINTENANCE A thorough inspection of the garage door should be done once a year. Open and close the garage door manually so that a broken wheel or misaligned panel, which usually results in friction on the rails, will be more obvious. This exercise will also allow you to check the tension in the springs. Any misalignment of this type prevents the door from remaining at a standstill when it is ajar and makes it very heavy to lift. Such a problem puts a strain on the door’s motor and shortens its lifespan. At the same time, check the solidity of the door’s anchorage and assembly. And don’t forget to take a look at the weather stripping; it should follow the contour of the door perfectly. The next step is to lubricate all moving parts of the door hardware, track, and weather stripping with silicone oil; avoid petroleum-based products. These parts should also be washed, along with the door panels, using a mild soap such as that used for cars.

A garage door is an important architectural element that should harmonize with the rest of the home.

Adjusting the lifting system of a garage door (springs, cables, and other parts) is a delicate task with certain inherent dangers. If you decide to tackle the job yourself, be sure to purchase parts that are marketed as easy and fast to install. But, before starting the work, think carefully about your abilities. It is, in fact, recommended to entrust this task to a professional. After all, for only a few more dollars you might avoid a lot of headaches.

The garage door is the biggest door of the house and it is the one that requires the most attention. In the first place, it has to be chosen well, since it can increase the value of your home by up to 4 percent. Second, it has to be well maintained in order to avoid many of the inconveniences that can arise with a poorly cared-for garage door.

A garage door should always be well maintained.

Solid wood flooring comes in a broad range of quality and characteristics. The more affordable lower grades have more knots, while the higher grades are almost knot-free. Light colours visually enlarge a room, while dark colours make open spaces feel cozier. Keep in mind, also, that while dark shades create a rich calming effect, dust and dirt are much more visible. Whatever sort you choose, any good quality flooring will withstand the test of time with grace and elegance if it is properly installed and well maintained.

Waterproof vinyl flooring is as practical in the bathroom and kitchen as it is in the playroom, garage, or basement. In other words, it is perfect for moisture-prone areas.

slippery, softer, and much warmer for the feet. Vinyl can also imitate the grain and texture of wood, even though no wood is involved in the manufacturing process.

Available in tiles, planks, or sheets, waterproof vinyl flooring restores a youthful look to any room. Available in a great choice of designs, finishes, and colours, vinyl effectively mimics the appearance of other more expensive floorings, such as stone and ceramic. As an interesting alternative to other hard surface flooring, vinyl covering is less

Vinyl laminate has locking edges that any amateur handyman can install easily and quickly. However, before installation can begin you must ensure that the surface is smooth and level. The cost of this kind of flooring is generally quite low, although it varies depending on the design, colour, thickness, and ease of installation. It requires no vapour or soundproofing membrane, making it a great way to save money and time. A vinyl covered floor is resistant to shock, water, and mildew; it is easy to maintain; and it provides high stability. Moreover, its flexibility gives it excellent acoustic properties.

Waterproof vinyl flooring is great for moisture-prone areas such as the bathroom or basement.

Solid wood floors can be dyed to match your decor and coated with linseed or tung oil. Polyurethane gloss, satin, or matt varnish can also be used. This type of flooring is usually tongue and groove and is installed on a plywood floor that is level, clean, smooth, and structurally sound. Warning! Solid wood floors should never be installed over a radiant heating system, as there is a risk of damage.

including jatoba, sapele, cabreuva, sucupira, tigerwood, walnut, or cherry. These woods are richly coloured and have distinctive textures and grains.

Laminate floors are affordable and attractive.

The authentic wood look is not always necessary in today’s homes. Classic laminate flooring has evolved and is now available in all sorts of new textures. These days, the trend is towards laminate tiles. Similar to the look of traditional flooring, bevelled laminate flooring brings a threedimensional perspective to your floor, visually enlarging the room. Flooring with a textile effect provides a touch of novelty, while a stone effect adds nobility and innovation to a room. All you have to do is choose the perfect laminate floor according to the type of wood you want to imitate, as well as colour, format, and surface finish.

At last, you’re ready to face the facts — your basement is in dire need of a good facelift. The first thing to ask yourself is what you want to use it for. Everything is possible, whether you want to invest in a home theatre, a second bathroom with a shower, a playroom for the children, a laundry room, or a gym to help you keep fit. Before starting any sort of work, it would be wise to examine the area to ensure there are no cracks or mold that require your attention. Then draw up a plan of what you want to do, taking care to indicate where the walls, electrical wires, cables, and plumbing will be located. After that make a list of all the tools and materials you need. The first job is to insulate your walls to protect them from the cold. This can be done from the inside if your foundations are watertight. Then, soundproof the area with an acoustic insulation such as cellulose fiber and put up the drywall. For the floors, it’s always a good idea to install a subfloor to keep rooms warm and the humidity low.

Be sure to install a sufficient number of electrical outlets, ceiling lights, telephone lines, and cable outlets to meet your present and future needs. For plumbing, electricity, or insulation work, call on the services of a professional to ensure that the work meets current building codes. Once the walls and flooring are in place, all that remains to be done is to decorate the area with a coat of paint, baseboards, moldings, mirrors, and pictures.
