With our mild West Coast climate, lovely gardens and beautiful scenery, it’s no wonder homeowners are always on the lookout for opportunities to extend their outdoor living season. For those who want to be protected from the heat of the sun and occasional rain shower, but not feel closed off to the outdoor environment they’re trying to enjoy, Natural Light Patio Covers are the ideal solution.

Offering maintenance-free outdoor living, these innovative patio covers feature ACRYLITE® sheeting, which creates a soft and radiant sunlit glow while reflecting heat and blocking UV rays. Even rooms adjacent to your Natural Light Patio Cover are brighter and more enjoyable!

Options include classic, cathedral-style and free-standing patio covers, in addition to pergola covers, screen rooms, glass rooms, outdoor walls and spa enclosures, with custom designs and options to best complement your unique space, such as Eze-Breeze walls, Genius Roll Screens, sliding glass and railing systems.

“With the local environment being so mild, we really don’t need the traditional ‘four season’ room,” explains Steve Leyenhorst. “Once the patio cover is installed to keep the weather away, simply blocking drafts and cold air movement – and maybe adding a portable heater for the chillier days – will give you a patio you can enjoy for many months beyond the traditional grilling season.”

Like other quality home improvements, a three-season room with a Natural Light Patio cover can potentially add value down the road, in addition to the immediate enjoyment it will offer. “Not only does it make the home larger with the additional living space, but a quality product offers peace of mind and will bring both current and future owners years of comfort and enjoyment.”

While some other lower-quality structures may not be able to stand up to the unique demands of West Coast weather, such as our November windstorms and the occasional dump of snow, a properly installed, engineer-approved Natural Light Patio Cover offers a proven track record backed by a 30-year warranty, so homeowners can rest assured that they will be enjoying their new patio for years to come!

Effective insulation key to your home’s comfort & efficiencyIf fall has you dreading the season’s home heating bills, a look at your home’s insulation might be in order.

And for many homeowners, that means a call to Craig Evans’ CE Spray Foam Solutions.

Beyond spray foam insulation, Evans also offers a full selection of insulation services, speaking to his many years in the industry. “We are a full-service insulation company,” he notes.

Effective insulation is one of the most important elements in your home’s operating system, both in how it works and in the comfort you enjoy year-round.

“It’s very important – heating and cooling is where the majority of your comfort dollars within your home goes,” he explains. For example, up to 90 per cent of your home’s heat loss occurs through the roof, something that can be effectively remedied with the right insulation.

“And it’s not just to keep the cold air out; proper insulation will also keep your home cooler in the summer. For homes with an HVAC system, it will help it run less in all seasons, meaning less wear and tear on your HVAC and less wear and tear on your pocketbook.”

Depending on your home and its current level of insulation, “improvements can offer up to a 50 per cent savings on your energy bill,” Evans says.

At the same time, homeowners needn’t think they must overhaul their entire home in order to enjoy savings and a more comfortable living environment.“I can present them with a lot of different

options based on what their goals are and what they’re trying to achieve, in addition to what their budget is,” Evans says. “I want to find the best option for their needs.”

In the industry since 1995, Evans and his staff are knowledgeable and experienced in all facets of the insulation industry, not to mention being the only spray foam contractor on Vancouver Island who is BASF Foam Master Certified.

In fact, in addition to the hands-on work he undertakes with his own business, Evans is actively involved in the instruction and training of others, and in the certification and regulatory sides of the industry. “I believe in taking a proactive approach,” he explains.
