A new development which has been in the mak-ing for the last two years will be a picturesque place for a new family to start their life in Penticton.

Avery Heights is 27 lots zoned for single-family dwelling on 2750 Cedar Road with half of the lots featuring gorgeous views of Skaha Lake, Okanagan Lake and sometimes both.

The lots are developer ap-proved with no set building scheme allowing the imagi-nation of potential buyers to run wild and create the cus-tom home they have always wanted, with homes getting built as early as December.

Avery Heights is set to be completed in three years, with eight sales already pending. Potential buyers have been able to view or buy a lot at the beginning of August.

Prices start at $189,000.The Cedar Road upgrade

is currently in process as well as the installment of services for the lots.

“It’s going to be a great neighbourhood,” said Cory Parsons with Avery Estates. “Stunning views, very nice, build-able lots, the ability

to build your dream home with whatever you want in a home.”

The development will be

the perfect place for a new family with Wiltse Elemen-tary School only a stones throw away, and all the ame-

nities of Penticton at your disposal.

“It’s not too far away from Skaha Lake if you want

to be at the lake, or at the beach, everything is only 10 minutes away in Penticton,” Parsons said.

Offering a wide and im-pressive range of flooring styles, colours, textures and finishes that allow homeown-ers to create the looks that are unique to your home and guaranteed to last for many, many years to come — Nu-floors is focused on making floor covering purchases and installation more efficient, valuable and inspirational than ever before.

Here are some helpful tips they offer when making your flooring choices. To read more on these options visit www.nufloors.ca.

Benefits of carpetCarpet acts as a trap for

allergens and is capable of holding significant quantities of soil, dust and other sub-stances. The carpet holds on to the particles until you are ready to remove them.

Carpet is ideal for cushion-ing our footsteps. Carpet pro-vides safety protection for the whole family, but especially for toddlers and older indi-viduals. It is also warm under foot.

Carpet will reduce noise generation in two ways — at floor level by cushioning ob-jects hitting the floor, for ex-ample footsteps or dropped

items, and by absorbing other sounds around your home creating a more peaceful in-door environment.

Easy to maintain. A good vacuum cleaner, a periodic wet clean and prompt atten-tion to spills is all you need to keep your carpet looking good. Professional carpet cleaning is recommended every 12-18 months to keep your carpet looking new and to satisfy supplier warranties.

Buying hardwoodToday’s hardwood floor-

ing offers you many choices in species, colour, widths, sheens and patterns. Hard-wood will look beautiful for a very long time and will al-ways be in style. Plus, it will

add value to your home.There are four hardwood

finish sheens (how shiny or glossy your floor’s finish is). From the least shiny to the most they are: Matte, Satin, Semi-Gloss and Glossy. The glossier the floor, the more dust and dirt will show. The less sheen on the hardwood, the less you will notice dings and scratches. All sheens of-fer the same protection on your floor, it is just a matter of which look you prefer. Glossy and semi-gloss can show footprints when walk-ing on the floor in bare feet. Satin finish has some sheen but does not look too glossy and is one of the more popular finishes.

Moisture levels in a con-

crete floor must be within industry standards of manu-facturer’s recommendations. Moisture content on your sub-floor/concrete floor will need to be evaluated before a hard-wood floor can be installed.

Hardwood floors will scratch. Place rugs at all entrances to minimize the amount of dirt getting tracked into your home. Ensure you do not use a rubber backed rug as this can discolour your wood floor. If you have medi-um to large sized dogs, ensure you keep their nails trimmed regularly. Always use floor protector pads on the bottom of the legs of your furniture.

As wood is photosensitive and reacts to sunlight, UV light has the most impact on colour change of a hardwood floor. If using an area rug on your hardwood floor, try moving the rugs and furniture from time to time. Do this to allow sunlight to hit the pre-viously covered areas of your floors. This will help even out the fading process so a consis-tent colour will be achieved within the entire room.

Expect colour variations as hardwood is a natural ma-terial.

Extra materials: A waste factor ranging from 5 per cent to 15 per cent is typically used when calculating waste for your job. Species, width, direction, layout and grading of the wood can all affect your job as well as the fact that the wood will need to be cut to fit

around a fireplace, bay win-dow, stairs or closet. Nufloors leave the extra material with you. Please keep the material in a flat, dry area for any fu-ture repairs. Left over mate-rial is not returnable.

Laminate pros and cons

Today’s laminates offer you a beautiful floor with charm and character. Nufloors provides you with everything you need to install and main-tain your laminate flooring.

Laminate flooring PROS:• Can be used in any loca-

tion — on, above or below grade.

• Is less expensive than traditional hardwood, stone or tile flooring.

• Easy maintenance. Just use a vacuum or broom. Mop with a slightly damp mop. No floor waxing needed.

• It is more dent and stain-resistant than solid or engi-neered hardwood flooring, making it a great choice for active households with young children or pets.

• Click laminate floors can be replaced if damaged.

• Pet friendly – 57 per cent of Canadian households have a pet. If you’re one of them, laminate flooring might be an excellent choice.

• Can be installed over some types of existing floors or subfloors but never install a floating floor over another floating floor.

Laminate flooring CONS:• It is not a wood floor.

There is a wood chip base layer in laminate but its not a wood floor.

• It is a hard floor — unlike carpet or cork, laminate floors are hard underfoot.

• Cannot be refinished — If a laminate floor is scratched or worn, it cannot be re-sanded/refinished like a solid hardwood floor can.

• Lower resale value — A hardwood floor provides bet-ter value when selling your home.

• Can be a little on the noisy side as it does not ab-

sorb sound well and can have a hollow sound when you walk on it. Using an acoustic underlay will help reduce the noise.

Choosing CorkBecause cork is a natural

material, no two cork floor planks are alike and this adds to its beauty. Some colour and shade variation should be ex-pected. Always protect cork flooring from direct sunlight and UV light, to minimize fading. Use drapes, blinds or UV-protective windows and other methods to protect your cork floor from excessive sunlight.

With cork flooring, qual-ity and price will vary. When reviewing quality you will want to look at things like density, thickness and finish. The thicker the tile or plank the stronger the floor will be.

Cork flooring is a natural sound absorber and is quieter than laminate or hardwood when measuring walking sounds.

Because of cork flooring’s hypoallergenic properties, people who suffer from aller-gies might want to consider this type of flooring.

Benefits of tileYour choices in this floor-

ing category are endless in colour, texture, patterns and sizes. Tile works well in ar-eas that are prone to water such as entry ways, kitch-ens, bathrooms and shower stalls, laundry rooms and mud rooms and can be used in other living areas of your home as well. Tile is used on floors, walls, backsplashes, shower stalls and sometimes on counters.

Benefits for tile are that it is resistant to stains and moisture; a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms, which are traditionally the “wet” areas in our homes; durable for high foot traffic areas; pet friendly flooring option and tile floors are one of the easiest flooring catego-ries to maintain.

Improved practices in the construction industry today reflect the greening of building codes across North America.

This proactivity is highlighted by advancements in window daylighting, insulation, air infiltration, and new wall-building materials. However, many say that our eco-responsibility can do even better than this.

Why not choose methods and materials, for in-stance, that are even more energy efficient than the minimum demanded by building codes? If you want lowered energy consumption, more conservation and increased property value, be sure to choose a builder who has a demonstratable record in eco-responsibil-ity.

“A huge step forward is to replace the traditional wood framing of your house with what we call ICFs, insulated concrete forms,” said Keven Rector at Nudura, a leading name in this technology. “If, for instance, you build the envelope of your house with concrete instead of wood, the energy required to heat and cool it will be significantly reduced, a plus for the environment, and along with reduced energy bills, a plus for you.”

Severe storm resilienceThe compact ICFs (nudura.com) are delivered to

the construction site, where each form interlocks with

the next to quickly assemble one strong monolithic wall.

“Our advanced design combines two panels of thick (EPS) foam with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete,” Rector explains. “The re-sulting envelope immediately gives your house hur-ricane wind-resistance up to 400 kilometres per hour. Concrete walls also deliver an energy efficiency rat-ing as high as R-50 (compared to an average R-20 in wood structures), saving you up to 50 percent on util-ity bills. With the concrete option, countless trees re-main untouched, and with lowered energy consump-tion and less tapping of natural resources every day, imagine over the years how much of a contribution your house will make to recapturing a sustainable en-vironment.”

As importantly, he says, a home built with this concrete system is also fire resistant and sound re-sistant, and is far less prone to mold, cold spots and drafts.

“Builders receive workplace benefits too,” Rector points out. “ICF construction assures the adherence to building codes, it takes up less shipping space, re-quires less manpower at the site, and the assembly is faster than wood framing. Time-strapped builders and eager homeowners benefit equally from this ef-ficiency.”

If you want your builder to use ICFs, be sure to discuss it early in the plans.

Achieving ideal sound experience at home

Submitted

Advancements in digital tech-nology over the years mean that almost anyone can own a home theatre or music room or build a recording studio in their home.

When you’re planning your project, there are a number of elements that will make the dif-ference between good and great sound.

Just like in real estate, location is crucial, so finding the best space within your home will be vital. You will want to find a place that will provide ample room, com-fortable temperatures and easy access. A room with windows is fine, as long as they are double glazed, sealed correctly and don’t

open. Be sure to install a heavy, well-insulated door to prevent sound leakage.

Insulation is among the most critical steps in creating an ideal sound experience. Many profes-sionals recommend Safe’n’Sound insulation produced by Roxul. Specially designed for your home’s interior walls, ceilings and floors to reduce the transfer of noise from one room to another, this high-density stone wool in-sulation provides an excellent acoustic barrier that effectively absorbs sound. Its nondirectional fiber structure composition, densi-ty and friction-fit prevent any gaps and combat airborne noise such as music, speech and traffic sounds.

Sound can often echo and re-

verberate. Sound dampening mea-sures such as carpeting can help alleviate the problem or you can purchase acoustic panels that pre-vent sound reflections throughout your room.

With basic do-it-yourself skills, you can also simply and affordably construct your own acoustic panels, using stone wool rigid board called Comfortboard IS, which is effective at reducing the intensity and propagation of noise.

Insulating properly will help achieve optimal sound quality. It will also allow you to get the most of your space without disturbing the rest of your family or neigh-bors. All that’s left is to turn up your tunes and enjoy.

When people talk about paint problems or paint failures, the root of the issue is usually a lack of proper paint preparation. After all, if you don’t prepare your surface properly be-fore you paint, you shouldn’t be surprised if it bubbles or peels.

Proper paint preparation doesn’t just pre-vent paint failures; it also saves you time and money. Follow these five simple steps and your next paint project is sure to be a success.

Once you’ve removed everything from your painting surface, you want to clean it to get rid of any unsightly marks or stains. Be sure not to use regular household cleaners, as they can leave a slippery residue behind that prevents proper paint adherence. Instead, clean your walls with Natura Safe Prep — a ready to use all purpose cleaner formulated specifically for paint preparation to improve paint adhesion.

Cleaning is especially important in places like the bathroom, where hairspray can leave a lacquer-like finish behind on your walls. Without prior cleaning, your bathroom paint-job could look more like colourful spider webs.

This next step is easy — simply wait for your clean walls to dry completely. A good rule of thumb: if your walls are cool to the touch, they’re still damp. Patience isn’t just a virtue here; it’s a requirement.

If your walls have a gloss or semi-gloss finish, wash your walls with Natura Safe Prep and a sanding sponge to clean your walls and dull them at the same time (which saves you an extra step). The reason for dulling your walls is for better paint adhesion. Sand-

ing your walls can feather out chipped paint and provide more “tooth” for the next coat of paint. Use 80 grit sandpaper to dull your walls, for a texture that’s the closest match to drywall. Remember to wipe off any drywall dust afterwards with a damp cloth. If your walls have a matte finish, then scuffing/dull-ing isn’t necessary.

With your walls clean, dry and dull, the next step is patching any holes, nail pops or any other surface blemishes with Beauti-Tone wall patch spackling compound. Once your patches are dry — which you’ll know because the compound goes on pink and dries white — you’ll want to sand them down with

80 grit sandpaper.It’s vital to prime patched areas once dry

and sanded, as they have a different poros-ity compared to drywall — which will be immediately noticeable once you’ve applied paint. If you patch, you must prime. And don’t ever patch with caulking! Its texture is smooth compared to drywall so you’ll always see where you’ve patched — plus it can’t be sanded.

If your current wall colour is similar in tone to the paint you’re going to apply, you probably don’t need a primer. This would be the case if you were going from chocolate brown to dark grey, as they’re both dark and

will cover well.But, if you’re going from a white wall

to saturated red or any other drastic colour change, you’ll definitely want a primer.

Why use primer? If you’re painting your wall a colour that

isn’t similar in tone to the paint you’re going to apply, a primer can improve a paints hiding power and decrease the number of top coats required for a smooth finish — which is good news for your tired arms and your wallet.

And if your walls have stains that can’t be cleaned, you’ll want to use a stain blocking primer such as Beauti-Tone Acryl-Lok Prim-er to seal stains and ensure they don’t bleed through your paint job.

If you have an older home and you’re not sure if the previous paint was oil or la-tex, take a cloth dipped in methyl hydrate (a multi-purpose thinner and brush cleaner) and rub it on the surface. If the paint becomes soft and gummy, it’s latex. If rubbing the surface cleans but does nothing else, it’s oil – in which case you’ll want to dull, clean and prime be-fore painting with latex paint.

Once your walls are properly prepared, you’ll be ready to roll on that gorgeous new colour and complete your rooms transforma-tion. The only hard part? Picking the right colour for your room. Picture your colours before you paint with the new Beauti-Tone Colour Visualizer.

And remember — preparation is key to a successful painting project.

Your Okanagan lifestyle made simple is what Bighorn Mountain Estates in Okanagan Falls is about.

“Bighorn Mountain Estates of-fers city chic in a rural setting, and is nestled snugly under the beautiful Peach Cliff Mountain. This lovely mountain absorbs all the sound and noise and throws back to us a pal-atable quiet and peacefulness that is truly extraordinary,” said Ron Dyck, project manager.

The development is 75 per cent sold and has attracted clientele from Alberta and the west coast, which has strengthened of late. Properties have been sold with lot prices ranging from $112,000 to $200,000. Dyck said interest in buying has picked up.

“The market is definitely stron-ger than it has been,” he said, adding that there are 30 lots left to build.

Currently they are adding six homes that will be ready to move into. They range in price from $400,000 to $600,000 for a large home with a view of the valley and lake.

Dyck said buyers enjoy the cus-tomized aspects of the homes, help-ing bring the home of their dreams to reality.

“You name it, we can produce it. They are all over the map,” Dyck said.

A large percentage of people buying into the development are traditional with the requests they

have. However, more are asking for wooden floors, decorative ceilings and vaulted ceilings.

“They are doing more things with lighting. Definitely stepping up the outside patios sizes,” he said.

Standard features include paint-ed shaker millwork and doors as well as oak flat panel shaker-style cabinets. The homes generally come with two bedrooms on the main floor with a four-piece en-

suite and four-piece main bath and a finished basement entry and laun-dry area. Most home plans can be adapted to allow for full-sized, in-ground basements, or walkout base-ments and all homes come with at-tached double garages.

In the Okanagan, you can always expect a good view too.

“We’ve got enormous views. We’ve got lake views and we’ve got valley views. They have some with

huge views of the lake,” said Dyck. Every home has a patio and

many have spectacular views. He said the allure of the area is

the feeling of being in the coun-tryside while remaining not too far away from the amenities of places like Penticton.

“We’re on a mountainside out-side of Okanagan Falls. It feels like we’re in the country. A lot of fresh air around us, we have big horned

sheep and deer around us.” Monthly fees on the bare land

strata development are around $350 annually which goes towards road maintenance, street lighting, water costs and a nearby children’s park.

Show homes are open every day from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., no appointment necessary. For more information call the office at 250-497-7122 or visit www.bighorn-mountainestates.com.
