Etched Glass Interior Doors Lend a Stylish Touch to Laundry Rooms and Pantries
Interior glass French doors, in general, add a warm ambiance. When closed, they provide a separation from adjacent spaces and filter out noise. The door in this video does all of that, but, unlike the clear-paned variety, it’s translucent rather than transparent. This can be a very desirable feature for a laundry room or pantry entry where one might want light passing through but may not want the contents of those rooms visible. What’s more the etched design adds an artistic element that’s both unique and elegant. LEARN MORE Learn More |
Liquid Leveler Quickly Makes Rough, Uneven Floors Flat and Smooth
Practically any kind of new floor requires a surface beneath that is flat and level. One surprisingly easy way to get that surface is by using a liquid self-leveling underlayment.

Three Trusted Hand Tools Get Updates
The prybar, the tape measure and the crescent wrench are familiar hand tools you’ll find in almost any toolbox or workshop. For the most part, they have remained relatively unchanged for decades. That is, until recently when designers, determined to make good tools even better, turned their sites to these three trusty standbys. The prybar has gotten an additional foot, the tape measure a better means of control and the adjustable wrench a faster, slicker alternative to the thumb screw. Each improvement is designed to make the tool work better, quicker or easier. Take a look at the video to see just what I’m talking about. LEARN MORE Learn More |
