Boulder Remodeling Contractor Melton Construction Inc. Changes Name to Melton Design Build

Posted on by
Reply


Boulder, CO (PRWEB) August 16, 2012

Residential and commercial remodeling contractor Melton Construction Inc., headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, announced today that it has changed its trade name to Melton Design Build. According to Ty Melton, president of the company, Our company was one of the first design build remodeling firms serving Boulder and the surrounding areas. We started offering design services shortly after we began doing business in 1993. Our new name, Melton Design Build, better reflects the full spectrum of architectural design and construction services we provide our clients. The company has also changed its web address to http://www.MeltonDesignBuild.com to reflect its new name.

Asked why the company uses the design build approach, Rick Johnson, Melton Design Builds general manager, explained The design build approach to remodeling is an easier, more convenient and less complex remodeling process for our clients. He continued, We find most homeowners and business owners find it very appealing. Its been our experience that for most types of remodeling projects, the design build approach we use is simpler, faster and can provide clients greater value. One of the reasons is that the ability to design and build a project to a specific budget is enhanced with this method.

With the design build remodeling process, the property owner selects a single design build remodeling contractor that works with the owner from the initial design discussions through to completion of the construction on the project. The design build contractor provides both the design and construction services. Selecting a design build remodeling contractor is different than selecting a construction-only contractor as it involves evaluating the contractors ability to provide the quality of design as well as the quality of construction the property owner is looking for.

Mr. Melton explained some of the benefits he believes design build offers. With design build the remodeling contractor designs the project so that it can be built within the agreed target budget. Since our staff architect who is designing the project knows construction costs intimately, the design is developed to fit in the overall design and construction budget from the beginning. And, as the contractor is responsible to the client for the entire process, if there is a problem with the design or construction, it is up to the design build contractor to resolve it. No time or money is wasted figuring out who is responsible to fix the problem. Its just a lot neater and simpler.

While not well known in some parts of the country, the trend towards design build remodeling has been growing over the past 25+ years. In many parts of the country, it is the dominant approach for many types of remodeling projects. Many of the design awards given by the remodeling industrys various competitions go to design build remodeling firms. Melton has won several of those awards for both commercial and residential remodeling projects.

Melton Design Build (formerly known as Melton Construction) headquartered in Boulder CO was founded in 1993 by Ty Melton. Melton Design Build provides architectural design, interior design and construction services to both homeowners and business owners primarily in Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, Niwot, Gunbarrel, Erie, Lyons, Superior, and parts of the Denver, Colorado area.

Typical home remodeling projects for the company include: kitchen and bath remodeling, single and multi-level home additions including pop-tops, whole home renovations, exterior remodeling, and green or energy-related remodeling. For its commercial clients, Melton Design Build remodeling projects often include professional, medical and dental offices, retail and restaurants and most types of light commercial remodeling.

In addition to other awards and honors, Melton Design Build was named one of Americas Top Remodelers in 2011 by Professional Remodeler Magazine and was named a Big50 remodeling firm by Remodeling Magazine. The company is a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Boulder Green Building Guild, Center for Resource Conservation, the Boulder Chamber of Commerce and other trade and business organizations. The company is involved with or sponsors a variety of local civic groups.

Gerber Technology Launches New Precision Spreading System for Extremely Heavy Materials and Large Diameter Rolls

Posted on by

Tolland, CT (PRWEB) August 06, 2012

Gerber Technology announces the availability of its newest precision spreading system, the GERBERspreader 250s, which accommodates material rolls weighing up to 250 kgs. (550 lbs.) and spreads at speeds up to 100 meters per minute without tension. In addition, precision selvage and end alignment technology maximizes material utilization.

Ron Ellis, product manager for Gerber Technology, said, This addition to our GERBERspreader line enables apparel manufacturers cutting denim, corduroy or knits to spread from very heavy rolls. It also enables makers of automotive interiors and transport seating to spread foam laminate materials from very bulky rolls using an extra-large cradle that can accommodate rolls up to 120 cm. (47 in.) in diameter.

The GERBERspreader 250S is available in multiple widths. It maximizes material utilization using adjustable infrared photocells that ensure accurate selvage alignment and precision end alignment technology that eliminates material end loss. Using built-in intelligence, the system also reports the amount of material used from a roll and the amount lost to defects or flaws.

The GERBERspreader 250S effectively addresses worker safety and ergonomics issues in several ways. The spreaders cradle feed system is equipped with an electric cradle tilt that enables fast and easy loading/unloading and threading/rewinding of material rolls. An optional loading system lifts heavy fabric rolls from the floor to the spreader cradle and vice versa making it easy and safe to load and unload rolls. In addition, sensors located on both sides of the GERBERspreader immediately halt the system when an obstacle is in its path.

Ellis noted, Throughout our 45-year history, customers have come to rely on Gerber to provide a total cutting room solution that includes spreading tables, advanced spreading systems and computer-controlled cutting systems. This newest spreading system is the ideal addition to our suite of solutions because it is not only fast, precise and ergonomically-sound, it also delivers significantly improved material utilization.

Improved Illumination Selects Top Rated LED Lighting Manufacturer, Expands Energy Efficiency Lighting Options and Offerings

Posted on by

Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

Over the last 12-15 months, Improved Illumination has spent a tremendous amount of time interviewing, meeting with, researching and evaluating numerous LED manufactures and supplies. Our goal, as LED reliability has improved and the fixture cost has decreased, has been to add a proven LED offering to our already existing suite of cost saving exterior and interior lighting fixtures. says James Feeney, Managing Director of Improved Illumination. We are very impressed with not only the reliability of NextGens product offerings but their commitment in providing the highest level of customer satisfaction as well.

There is no One Size Fits All in the lighting world says Feeney. The application is the key. Take for example, Parking Garages or Parking Lot Lighting. If you own, run or manage a parking facility, with Metal Halide lamps currently installed, you know they are expensive to run, labor intensive to replace and when these bulbs burn out, leave dangerous unlit areas that may increase the risk to your visitors and/or decrease the customer experience.

Improved Illumination is a third party, unbiased provider of cost saving, energy efficient lighting solutions. Unlike others who represent only one particular lighting technology product line, Improved illumination has strong relationships with leading Induction, Fluorescent and now a LED lighting technology provider. This allows Improved Illumination to expand its ability and continue to suggest the most appropriate energy savings solution for our clients individual requirements and specific lighting applications. Feeney added.

We look forward to working with NextGen Illumination and providing well designed lighting recommendations that exceeds our fast growing list of clients expectations surrounding 5 major factors:

Better Light: covering color rendering and consistency, More Energy Efficient: consume 50-85% less energy, Less Maintenance: Longer lamp life, less replacement, fewer service calls, Environmentally friendly: less greenhouse gasses, smaller carbon footprint and Saving Money: reduced monthly lighting expenses, payback in months, not years.

Improved illumination (http://www.improvedillumination.com) provides exterior and interior lighting solutions to commercial, industrial, educational and government clients. Based in Metro West, Boston, Improved illumination works with Parking Facilities, Warehouses, Hospitals, Lodging Organization, Auto Dealerships and a host of others to evaluate and make cost savings suggestions to reduce our clients lighting/energy consumption. These benefits provide a solid ROI and a payback measured in months not years.

James Feeney can be reached at 508 801 9205 or jfeeney(at)improvedillumination(dot)com and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your current lighting configuration and undertake a no-obligation LEAP evaluation for your organizations locations.

Saunas for Your Home Away From Home: Finnleo Panel-Built Outdoor Saunas Simplify Installation and Bring Saunas to Second Homes

Posted on by

Cokato, MN (PRWEB) July 28, 2012

With summer in full-swing, most families with a vacation home or property have had a chance to enjoy their home away from home. While more luxury homes are including saunas in a home gym or spa-styled bath, the vacation home, where people go for total relaxation, can benefit as well, even with a small floor plan for the house. Finnleo Patio Saunas and Metro Series Sauna packages can extend your relaxation to the outdoors, with panel-built saunas designed for outdoor use.

For homes with a back porch or patio, the Patio Series panel-built sauna is ideal. Available in 4 sizes, ranging from 4×5 to 5×7, the Patio series is available with maintenance free siding, cedar shingles or metal roof, and several heater options. Within hours of receiving the sauna, the room can be installed and begin being enjoyed. Because of the smaller size, this is the perfect choice when outdoor space is limited.

For homes on a lake, with pools, or with a larger property, the Metro Series packages offer many more features and a larger size. With sizes starting at 7×10 and as large as 8×12, the saunas include changing rooms, and the 8×12 has an optional shower in the changing room. The rooms are constructed of 4-1/4 insulated panel with Nordic White Spruce, with an optional upgrade to maintenance free siding for the exterior. Because of the size of the rooms and the availability of wood-burning stoves, the Metro Series is a great addition to a hunting camp, allowing fellow chilled hunters to be warmed by the sauna while talking about the days hunt.

Of course, both the Patio and the Metro Series saunas are wonderful additions to main residences as well. If a sauna has been desired, but lack of interior space has prevented the installation of a sauna in the home, these outdoor options may be the solution.

For more information on the Patio Series and Metro Series saunas, contact a local Finnleo dealer, visit Finnleos website, or call Finnleo at 1-800-346-6536 (FINNLEO).







Aging Safely Walk In Bathtubs Offers Safety Solutions for Seniors and has Announced a Low Price Guarantee Nationally for Hydrotherapy Walk in Safety Tubs

Posted on by

Louisville, CO (PRWEB) July 25, 2012

Innovations in walkin bathtub technology from Aging Safely have made accessible bathtubs more affordable for seniors and people with limited mobility. The company has instituted a low price guarantee that assures customers of the lowest available price anywhere on walk bathtubs. This guarantee extends to people who have received a recommendation from their doctors to seek warm air hydrotherapy for relief from arthritis, back pain, poor lower-body circulation and other chronic health conditions.

Unlike a conventional bathtub that has solid sides and necessitates lifting the legs over the lip of the tub and bending to sit or lie in it, a walkin bathtub is fitted with an opening that allows the bather to move into the bath without stretching, kneeling or bending. An opening in the side of the tub permits easy access, forming a water-tight seal when shut. Because these tubs require less physical effort to enter and offer more support during the bath, they allow people with reduced mobility or chronic pain to enjoy a warm bath more readily. Many models have features such as hydrotherapy jets, whirlpools and wheelchair accessibility. All models are included in the Aging Safely low price guarantee.

Although cleanliness is vital for overall good health, bathing can become a challenging or even dangerous task when age, chronic disorders or accidents limit mobility. According to the National Safety Council, an average of one person a day dies in the shower or bath due to falls. Mobility devices can offer assistance throughout other aspects of the daily routine, but bathing presents its own set of difficulties because conventional tubs provide little support. Safety baths are designed to support the bather and dramatically reduce the possibility of falls while entering and exiting the tub.

Owners of safety baths cite safety, comfort and enhanced independence as primary motivators for buying their walk bathtubs. When bathing becomes safer, it is no longer necessary to have assistance during a bath; the walkin bathtub itself provides essential support. Safety tubs feature shaped and molded interiors that make bathing more comfortable for those with mobility limitations. Hand-rails and non-slip surfaces provide a greater feeling of security and peace of mind as well as physical comfort, said many users of walk-in tubs.

Sports medicine specialists have long recommended hydrotherapy to injured athletes, but hydrotherapeutic baths can also benefit people with limited mobility. Warm water may ease the pain of fibromyalgia, sciatica, lumbar back pain and other chronic conditions that respond poorly to medication. Because the body feels weightless in water, a bath relieves pressure on hips and knees affected by osteoarthritis. Bathing can help reduce inflammation and edema for those who suffer from these conditions. Hydrotherapy can also stimulate increased blood flow to the lower extremities. For people who have diabetes or circulatory conditions that reduce circulation in the lower legs and feet, warm water can be part of a physical therapy regimen.

Aging Safely brings these benefits to a wider range of clients by offering a large selection of walk bathtubs at guaranteed low prices.

(PRWEB) July 23, 2012

HomeThangs.com the Home Improvement Super Store has made their goal to deliver the right product to the consumer, with that in mind, shopping and home design tips, as well as special product selections are being introduced.

When it comes to choosing an overarching decor for the next bathroom remodel, it is important to strike a fine balance between designs that are currently trendy and pieces that will continue to look good as styles change. If the lifespan of a bathroom is expected to be longer than the typical design cycle, while taking some inspiration from current fads, its often wiser to opt for something a little more time-tested.

Traditional bathroom vanities are a great place to start. The combination of some small, vintage-inspired detailing and sleek, simple, contemporary lines gives a hint of vintage charm and value without an old fashioned look, and the simplicity of modern design without any of the coldness. Finished wood is always a safe bet because it never goes out of style.

When shopping for a traditional bathroom vanity, HomeThangs recommends a few things to keep in mind.
