Innovative solutions for your home

If you've ever made a mad dash to retrieve cushions or other items when it rains, then in-deck storage may be in order, according to Mike Gori, deck expert for AZEK Building Products , maker of AZEK Deck. This clever idea provides 17.5 cubic feet of safe, dry storage space that uses the area below the deck. "You don't have to sacrifice living space or ruin your view with unsightly plastic tubs," says Gori. The storage unit's lid sits flush with the deck surface and holds up to 500 pounds. "There are also kits for building benches with planter boxes and custom gates," he says. "It's never been easier to accessorize a new or existing deck." "What we came up with is an advanced sealant called ColorCure that actually tells you when the caulk can be painted - it turns from pink to white," says Jason Ringling, director of marketing at Red Devil, Inc. "If you test caulk by touching the wet bead, the finish is ruined." Another good practice is to use new caulk and sealant products that are better for the environment as well as high performance. "It's not only environmentally friendly, but solvent-free and low VOC - and with no plasticizers it won't leach or pick up dirt which is perfect for painted finishes," Ringling says.

What is polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?

Imagine you’re enjoying a picnic. You might not know it, but you’re surrounded by plastic, especially by polyvinyl chloride or PVC. This resin is responsible for the comfort of the patio chair you laze in. It’s covering the wood picnic table in the form of a checkered tablecloth. Even the salad dressing container is made from this extraordinary plastic. Polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC or simply vinyl, is one of the seven most commonly used types of plastic. You can differentiate PVC from the other resin rascals by its recycle code, the number three. Made primarily from chlorine (in the form of salt) some carbon and a bit of hydrogen, PVC gives mother earth a bit of a break, being less dependent on non-renewable resources than other plastics. In an environmentally-friendly and health conscious society polyvinyl chloride isn’t exactly the poster child of plastics. Though PVC is the most investigated and extensively tested plastic on the planet, its bad reputation surpasses that of Joan Jett’s. It’s like vinyl is the rebellious kid on the block who everyone has heard rumors about, most of which are misunderstood. This bad rap has stemmed, in many cases, from poor journalism and misrepresentation of research data. Vinyl can be utilized for packaging purposes in countless ways. Whether you’re looking to package a product line or just need some containers to organize home projects, PVC can work for you. We carry PVC items in a variety of styles and sizes including cylinders, square bottles and jars, f-styles and hexagon containers . Don’t forget those helpful tamper-evident shrink bands ; they’re made of PVC too! I’m a writer at heart, who got swept up in an intriguing industry. I learned the ropes of CPS products along with budding packagers through our customer support call center. Then I gained insight into why people love to do business with us while working with clients in Sales Support. Now, I get to encapsulate my daily packaging discoveries in writing and share them with you. Life is good.
