Huge Scenic Doors for Maximum Views
If your home calls for wide expanses of glass, check out the scenic doors from
Marvin®. They come in stunning widths and with various modes of operation so you can pick the best style for your needs. We especially loved seeing the Modern Multi-Slide Door because it has narrow rails and stiles for large, unimpeded views. And the panels slide away to totally blur the line between inside and out! Choose between unidirectional or bi-parting configurations and if you want the panels to stack on the side(s) or disappear like a pocket door. There are all sorts of options to consider!

"Shutter-Style" Louver Garage Doors
The Canyon Ridge
® lines from
Clopay® offer beautiful wood looks in a variety of garage door styles, and the new Louver Series expands the options even more. Available in 12 configurations with full louvers or louvers with smooth recessed panels or crossbuck designs, these doors complement multiple types of architecture. The slats are actually molded at a fixed angle to keep the elements out, and the durable woodgrain composite material won't rot, warp, or crack—perfect for the low-maintenance beach house, historical colonial, or rural farmhouse of your dreams!

Sustainably Produced Composite Decking
If you need decking, you may want to consider the benefits of composites. They require little maintenance and resist cracking, splitting, and rotting.
Fiberon® has seven lines to suit different styles and budgets, and they're eco-friendly! Made from 94% recycled wood fiber and plastic materials, they don't contribute to deforestation and actually divert from landfills. The manufacturing process uses a closed-loop water system, recoups 98.5% of the waste produced, and they ship by rail to reduce emissions. You'll feel good about your deck, and of course it'll look great, too!

Nobody wants to spend time and money maintaining a home's exterior, but the most aesthetically attractive finishes usually require upkeep. You won't be torn between beauty and practicality with the Craftsman Collection from
TruExterior® Siding! They offer six historically and architecturally accurate profiles to outfit homes of all styles. Don't be fooled by the name—you'll find fitting options for old-fashioned to contemporary designs. This poly-ash material won't let you down, as it has awesome dimensional stability to resist worries like warping, cracking, and splitting, and it's inorganic so it won't rot or fall prey to insects!
