MIRAGE

Beyond Durable

The effort to achieve an attractive landscaping style that minimizes
water consumption will be enhanced with products from Pioneer
Landscape Centers. Landscaping gravel and sand, in appealing colors
and textures, will complement the gardens and hardscape.
Belgard Mirage porcelain pavers and hardscape have the following
features:
■ They’re very attractive.
Strong and crack resistant, they can be sand set—no need to pour
■
concrete that ultimately cracks—meaning they can be moved and
reused as desired over many years.
■ They’re man-made, and they are very consistent in color and
shape—meaning less waste.
■ They are extremely stain resistant.
Porcelain pavers and hardscape are cooler than concrete.

■ They come in various sizes and patterns.

BROAN-NUTONE
VENTILATION PRODUCTS

Quiet Competence

In recent years, Broan-NuTone has
really focused on innovating a
number of high-performance
ventilation products. Most new
codes require homes to be built
with air exchange rates of less
than 3-5 air changes per hour,
which requires a fresh air ventilation
system. We selected Broan energy
recovery ventilation (ERV) kitchen
and bath exhaust fans. There is also a
connected/integrated Overture ventilation
control system, which monitors and adjusts indoor air quality and
ventilation based on the home’s actual air quality.
Among the many Broan-NuTone products in the home, here
are a few feature shoutouts:
■ ERVs are capable of up to 75 percent energy recovery
efficiency and are HVI certified.
■ The home’s air ventilation platform is part of Broan-NuTone’s
DUPONT products. We have used Tyvek and Styrofoam/ AI Series with VIRTUO Air Technology, a built-in smart
assistant for self-balancing for quick and easy installation.
