At the International Builders' Show in Orlando today, three Owens Corning products are showing builders how they can differentiate their homes and appeal to today's home buyers. PINK Fiberglas™ insulation is there to show how homes can stand out with energy efficiency and quiet. The other Owens Corning products featured at the show are Duration™ Series shingles with SureNail® technology, and Cultured Stone® manufactured stone veneer. All three Owens Corning products are part of the High Tech Home in the Show Village. The home is designed to deliver fine city living for high-end homeowners. From the latest lighting controls to the most exciting media rooms to the choicest luxury finishes, this house will excite and challenge builders to deliver their best. Other high-tech products in the home include Panasonic ventilation systems, Electrolux premium kitchen appliances and LiteTouch lighting controls.

High-end homeowners also want energy efficiency, of course, and my blog sponsor is there to show builders how fiberglass insulation can be an essential part of a home’s comfort system. While I may be biased, I believe PINK insulation is the best choice for a home. The products are available as Fiberglas™ batts and blowing wool, and FOAMULAR® extruded polystyrene foam insulation. PINK insulating products are affordable and readily available. They also pay for themselves quickly by reducing home heating and cooling costs. A typical pound of insulation saves 12 times as much energy in its first year in place as the energy used to produce it. This means the energy consumed during manufacturing is saved during the first 4 to 5 weeks of the product’s use. The insulation continues to save this amount of energy every month throughout the life of the home in which it is installed.

A highlight at the home tomorrow will be a radio broadcast of The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show from 9 a.m. to 11a.m. on the front porch. Owens Corning representatives will be interviewed during that time by broadcast personalities and authors Tom Kraeutler and Leslie Segrete. The Money Pit is the nation's largest home improvement radio program and is heard on over 220 radio stations, as well as on XM Satellite Radio. The show will air February 23 through the 27 on radio stations nationwide.
