Trending: Better Products Through Technology
AZEK Exteriors
Enjoy the classic aesthetics of wood but without the frequent maintenance and cost to maintain it. AZEK® Exteriors’ portfolio of siding, made from completely rot-resistant engineered polymers, mimics the look of natural wood but delivers far superior performance in durability, resistance to moisture damage, and enduring beauty. Design is in the details, and with AZEK’s full line of trim and moulding profiles (also rot-and-moisture resistant) you can complement the home’s exterior with beautiful accent pieces that maintain the image of pristine craftmanship around windows, doors, rooflines, and more for years and years to come. When you choose AZEK, you choose long-term value as all AZEK siding, trim, and moulding products are backed by a lifetime limited warranty that covers rotting, splitting, splintering, peeling, and warping.

Stone — A Classic Trend
Granite-Tops
Homeowners have embraced granite and stone as their countertop of choice for years. The warmth and beauty of natural stone simply can’t be beat, and when you shop Granite-Tops, you’ll find a huge selection of slabs to ensure you find one that’s as unique as you are. Even better, you can begin shopping right from the comfort of your couch. Use our online viewing and digital layout options to see the unique characteristics in color and pattern of every slab and then preview how each would look in your own countertop layout. Our top trends: individualism and convenience through technology!
Your new favorite spot at home
Marvin
One of today’s hottest trends in homes is minimalism — focusing on function, flow, and simpler ways of living. Learn more on our blog. And, one of the tenets of minimalism is integrating space and light. Our new Skycove does that beautifully. When you’re ready to embrace nature with a place that’s livable, cozy, comfortable, convenient, and well-suited for a wide range of activities, consider adding Skycove to your home. Its clean lines and uncluttered aesthetic are both dramatic and elegant, perfect for the new minimalist aesthetic.
