Accent Your Home on a Budget with Factory Direct Home Building Products
Article by Chris Robertson
Whether you’re a true “do-it-yourselfer” or just want to save money on your home remodeling projects, you can potentially save hundreds of dollars by buying factory direct home building products. These are unique home remodeling products that can add tremendous value to your home. The products can be ordered directly online and shipped to your home, so you won’t have the extra expense tacked on to your contractor bills. This cuts out the middleman when it comes to ordering high quality home products. Let’s take a look at a few ways you can cut costs while increasing the value of your home.
Kitchen Cabinets
If you plan to replace or refinish your kitchen cabinets, factory direct cabinets can save time and money. You can browse various wood cabinet styles online, such as maple wood, cherry wood, birch wood and oak wood. Or if you prefer laminate or thermofoil in white, these are available in numerous styles at factory direct costs. There are also home building products to help you refinish, upgrade or add on to your kitchen cabinets, so you can save the expense of replacing all your cabinets entirely. Kitchen cabinets will add to the value of your home while giving your kitchen a brand new look and feel.
Glass Block
Glass block walls and windows are popular home building products for remodeling to brighten a room, create a wall for a small space, or to accent a garden tub or Jacuzzi. There are glass block shower kits to build eye-catching walls around your shower area. Or, you can use glass block walls to create a luxurious partition between two open rooms, such as the den and kitchen, or kitchen and dining area. Use them to accent and fill gaps around your foundational vents on the outside of your home. Glass blocks are thick building blocks made of glass that fit together like a puzzle. To save time, you can order pre-drilled glass blocks instead of drilling the holes yourself. The blocks also come in various patterns such as IceScapes, Delphi or Decora to meet every home remodeling need.
To save on shipping costs and installation time, consider acrylic block windows as an alternative to glass block. These are lightweight, but offer the same traditional beauty for any block window or wall project!
Wood Fireplace Mantel
If your fireplace is older and seems a bit drab, order a new wood fireplace mantel from a factory direct store. These can be added to a plain fireplace, or you might consider replacing your old mantel. It’s thousands of dollars cheaper than replacing the entire fireplace, and it will give your entire room a brand new decor.
Vinyl Products to Accent Your Home
There are many vinyl home building products available to create a new look for your home while avoiding the maintenance issues of wood products. Vinyl railing can be added as a border around your porch or patio. Elegant, tall vinyl columns can be added as a focal point to the front of your home to accent your entrance way or the entire porch if you have a wrap-around porch. Vinyl shutters can work wonders for older or new windows.
Fypon Home Building Products
Consider using Fypon products if you plan to upgrade your trim moldings, beams or exterior accents such as window trim, louvers or dormers. Fypon is weather resistant, moisture resistant and insect resistant. It doesn’t splinter, and it’s easy to install. Websites that offer factory direct home building products usually allow you to figure your quote online based on the size, style and measurements needed. It’s a great way to customize the look of your home while saving money.
Skylights
Consider adding skylights to your home to save on your light bill during daylight hours and to illuminate certain areas of your home. There are traditional wide skylights, which bring in a lot of light to one room, or there are tubular skylights or sun tunnels, which resemble a small, round light in the ceiling. Sun tunnels can be installed on roofs with pitches from 15 to 60 degrees, and they are designed to minimize condensation. These work well for any small room, such as a closet, hallway, foyer or bathroom. Skylights work well in larger rooms such as the kitchen, living area or bedroom.
These are just a few ideas of how factory direct home building products can improve the decor and design of your home while saving you money.
