VALLEY FORGE, Pa. - When it comes to curb appeal and healthy, long-lasting homes, many homeowners today are playing a more active role in the remodeling and building process. With the launch of CertainTeed Corporation's redesigned website (certainteed.com), a vast array of tips, product information and visualization tools is now only a click away.
As a century-old manufacturer of building products -- including insulation, roofing, gypsum wallboard, siding, exterior trim, fence, deck and railing -- the redesigned CertainTeed website offers a consumer-friendly approach to remodeling and construction projects. The site provides a wealth of readily accessible information for more than 1,000 CertainTeed(R) products, including detailed specifications, installation guides and warranty information.
"We think it is important for homeowners to actively engage in their home remodeling or building projects, which not only empowers them to make color and style choices, but helps educate them on how they can make their homes comfortable and healthy," said Peter Dachowski, President and CEO of CertainTeed Corporation.
An online "Learning Center" offers a comprehensive menu of tips and information and a special "Green Building Products" section for eco-savvy homeowners. For homeowners looking to lower their energy bills, the site provides useful information on how products, such as insulation, insulated siding and solar reflective roofing shingles, play a role in boosting a home's energy efficiency.
As part of the website's "Idea Center," homeowners can view photos of completed projects and collect design ideas. Homeowners can also use the ColorView visualization tool to help them coordinate the color, texture and design of their home's exterior. Through the "My Project Folder" tool, visitors to the site can establish a personalized folder of product information and photos for future reference.
Rounding out the features on the site, CertainTeed has developed a new tool that connects homeowners to contractors, installers and builders through an automated system. Using the "Find a Pro" tool, homeowners can search for a building professional by zip code and automatically request information directly from the contractor, builder or installer.
