Oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood are similar materials used for many construction and renovation projects. Here’s a guide on when to use each one.
Oriented strand board OSB is made of small rectangular wood chips pressed together with wax and resin to create a solid end product. OSB is ideal for the following projects:
• Roofing, if the installation is done properly and during a dry period • Furniture, by leaving the textured wood exposed or covering it • Decorative walls, like in a studio or workshop • Kiosks and booths to display merchandise
Plywood Plywood is created from thin sheets of wood glued together perpendicularly. It comes in several varieties and can be used indoors and outdoors if sealed and painted. Here are some projects that are well-suited to plywood:
• Subfloors, walls, and exterior siding because of the material’s rigidity • Furniture, like kitchen cabinets and desks • Bus and trailer floors for a durable, long-lasting finished product • Storage spaces by making various box sizes
Visit your local home improvement store to stock up on everything you need for your project.
How to reduce the ecological impact of electronic devices
Four great reasons to go thrifting
Do you want to create a space to read, knit, watch TV or play video games? Here are a few reasons a bean bag chair is a perfect fit.
If you think this soft chair, usually filled with tiny polystyrene balls or polyurethane foam, is reserved for little ones, think again. Today, manufacturers offer models for children, teenagers, and adults of all sizes. Some even have armrests and a backrest for lumbar support.
Whether covered in cotton, vinyl, faux suede, or a waterproof fabric ideal for outdoor use, bean bag chairs are available in infinite colors and patterns to add a bit of character to any decor.
Many models feature a removable, heavy-duty zippered cover for easy cleaning. Easy to carry, these soft and practical chairs can be moved to any room.
Visit your local furniture retailers to find the bean bag chair of your dreams.
Saunas offer health benefits beyond just helping you relax. Here’s what to consider if you want one for your home.
Size Saunas come in various sizes. Do you plan on using it exclusively with your significant other, or do you want to enjoy it with family and friends? Some models fit two or three people, while others have bench seats that accommodate up to 12.
Heat source Infrared heaters provide instant heat that warms your body from the inside out. However, they typically only reach 120 to 150 F.
Alternatively, electric heaters can be used indoors and outdoors but take about 10 to 15 minutes to raise the air temperature. The upside is that they can reach 150 to 185 F. Many electric heaters also come with stones you can cover with water to create soothing steam. Wood-fired heaters have the same benefits as electric ones but can be used only with outdoor saunas.
Indoor or outdoor Indoor saunas are great if you have a small yard and want to utilize unused space in your basement or bathroom. They add a touch of luxury to your home and are easily accessible in any weather. Additionally, if you choose a free-standing sauna, you can take it with you if you move.
Outdoor saunas are ideal if you have a large yard or want to be close to nature. Moreover, they offer more variety in shape and design than indoor versions. For example, many outdoor models can be fitted with glass windows and exterior seating.
Visit a local sauna retailer to discuss which model is suitable for you.
Does the smell of pizza cooking make your mouth water? You may be interested in an outdoor pizza oven if you enjoy using your barbecue all four seasons. Here’s a closer look at this popular cooking appliance.
Available in various sizes, pizza ovens are typically fueled by wood or propane. You can also purchase hybrid models that use both. You can expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $5,000 for a portable or stationary pizza oven. They come in sturdy and attractive materials like stainless steel, copper, stone, and more.
How to protect it Pizza ovens are designed for outdoor use. However, protecting yours from ice, snow, and sleet is essential. If you have a portable model, store it in an enclosed space like a shed. If you have a stationary oven or one that’s very heavy, cover it with a durable waterproof cover. Additionally, promptly remove fallen snow with a brush or broom.
Visit your local kitchen supply store to find a pizza oven to delight your family.
Whether you have a guest room, powder room, or interior bathroom without a window, here are a few decorating tips to make it feel bright and inviting.
1. Paint the room a light color. Painting the walls and ceiling white, gray, or beige can help add airiness to a dark room.
2. Hang a mirror. Windowless rooms can often feel small and cramped. Adding a large mirror or wall of mirrors deceives the eye into thinking the room is larger than it is and helps reflect light throughout the space.
3. Install plenty of lights. It’s essential to install layered lighting in a windowless room. For example, you can combine overhead fixtures with lamps and accent lights. Placing lights underneath cabinets or inside exposed shelving to brighten dark surfaces.
Finally, pick neutral and minimalistic furniture. For example, a white couch with slim legs will allow you to see more of the floor, making the room feel open and bright.
Investing in a stylish handle can instantly elevate the look of your interior doors. Here’s a short guide to help you make the best choice.
Materials Door handles are typically made of durable metals like steel, aluminum, brass, wrought iron, and chrome. You can also find handles made of wood, plastic, and porcelain. However, the internal mechanisms are always made of metal.
Types Here’s an overview of the three main types of handles:
• Lever handles can either have a lock or no lock. They’re activated by raising or lowering the lever. In addition, you can find curved levers that are suitable for people with limited dexterity.
• Knob handles are usually round and have a locking mechanism. You can also purchase fixed knob handles that don’t that need to be rotated or turned to open or close the door.
• Pull handles are fixed and can only be locked by purchasing a separate accessory.
The door handle you choose largely depends on your style and preferred use. Visit your local hardware store to browse different models.
If you’re planning a renovation project, here are three tips to help keep costs to a minimum.
1. Pick the right time of year. Fall and winter are typically less busy for most contractors. During these times, you may be able to negotiate a lower price.
2. Get several quotes. Contacting several contractors will give you a good idea of the average price to complete the project. Shopping around may also help you get a better rate.
3. Be specific. Clearly explain what you want upfront to avoid unnecessarily driving up the bill.
Always ensure the contractor you choose has the required experience and certifications.
