Insulating Building Materials in Long Island? Think Tyvek® HomeWraps®


Quite often, homeowners are faced with a worrying quandary—how can they prevent water from seeping into the house, but also allow for an escape of any moisture that may have found its way in? This is true particularly in areas that are prone to a barrage of weather-related hazards. In the past, tar paper or felt was a popular option, but because they were prone to tearing due to their heavy weight, they became relegated over the years, necessitating a better alternative. Due to this dire need, house wraps and roofing underlays were introduced, and while there are many varieties available today, Tyvek® HomeWrap® from DuPont, is still the leading house wrap of choice among contractors and suppliers of durable, reliable, and quality building materials in Long Island and elsewhere.

Is There One Best Wood Type for Kitchen Cabinets from Contractors?


For homeowners undertaking kitchen remodeling projects, one of the more significant expenses generally involves the cabinets. This is perhaps due to the cabinets taking up a huge amount of wall space, as well as the specific type of wood used in their construction. Then again, possibly the biggest contributor to the cabinets’ price tags is the type of wood they feature, along with the style, color, and layout. In the end, these factors also influence the overall look and feel of the kitchen itself. Through the help of companies such as Contractor Express, local contractors from Long Island, NY can offer a wide variety of kitchen cabinets made from different wood types. With the prevalence of choices, however, it’s not strange for anyone to ask if there’s a single type of wood that perfectly fits the job description for a kitchen cabinet.

A Look at the Types of Subfloors Offered By Building Supply Dealers


Engineered floors are more than the finish material people see on the surface. The subfloor material also has a significant role in a flooring system since not all types of joists and subfloors work for all types of flooring. For instance, ceramic tile floors require sturdy substructure because subfloors in a newly constructed home are susceptible to setting, which can damage tile flooring over time. The process of choosing appropriate subflooring material is much more important if you consider engineered hardwood floors. While hardwood flooring can technically be installed on surfaces such as concrete, homeowners need to be wary because concrete is porous (possesses tiny holes), which allows potentially damaging elements like water to pass through. This is an excellent example of why appropriate subfloor material is required to ensure that flooring systems last as long as they should.
