Foreclosed Homes Pose Increased Summer Threat
Officials throughout Southern California Issue West Nile Virus Warnings and urge residents to take precautions!

Another unfortunate side effect of the many foreclosed homes in the Inland Empire and throughout Southern California are the many partially empty and stagnate pools and the increased threat they pose. Stagnant pools pose a significant risk because they become
ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

While the weather in California is ideal, it is also perfect for the “optimal development” of West Nile Virus with more than 109 days of temperatures above 57 degrees Fahrenheit.

West Nile Virus is a serious mosquito-born illness which can, in some cases, cause serious neurological damage and even death. The virus is typically spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes. California is known to have three species of mosquitoes able to carry the WNV.

Adding to the problem, stagnant pools must be repeatedly treated to stop mosquito production. The number of partially filled pools is sizable and vector control does not have the means or authority to drain or continually treat each pool.

Health officials suggest residents protect themselves by wearing repellant as well as securing their homes from the mosquitoes by making sure every door and window is covered by a well fitting screen.

Summer Brings Surge of Home Improvements
The summer months are a great time to take on home improvement projects, especially ones that are quick and cost effective. It is about getting the most bang for the buck and this year, its all about the latest products. For years, homeowners have been concerned with the unattractiveness of traditional screen doors yet not aware of the affordable and attractive alternatives on the market. However, the secret is out and StowAway Retractable Screens are quickly becoming homeowners’ first choice in summer home improvements.

Affordable
Keeping the home cool and comfortable is a top priority for home owners this summer. Running the air conditioner full time is not cost effective for most families, and not a desire for many more. Trending home improvement products include ones that let the homeowner bring the outdoors in and keep the home cool economically.

Top Home Improvement Projects: StowAway Retractable Screens
One of the top home improvement projects this summer include the installation of StowAway Retractable Screens .Unlike traditional screen doors, StowAway Retractable Screens retract when not in use, protecting them from damage as well as preserving the aesthetics of your home.

Great for Doors or Windows
The screens can be attached to the exterior frame or the interior frame of nearly any doorway or window, allowing you to open your home to the fresh air, without letting in bugs. The screening material is attached to a roller tube which spins on a vertical axis within the assembly’s housing. The screen is attached to a vertical pull bar which rides on two rails (top/bottom) and is used to stretch the screen material across the opening. Once deployed, the pull bar is fixed in place by one or more magnets installed on the side opposite the housing. StowAway Screens can span up to 84” wide and 108” tall on a single unit or up to 168” wide and 108” tall on a double unit.

Attractive, Yet Unobtrusive
One of the major drawbacks of traditional screen doors is that they can detract from the beauty of the home. That is one of the many places where the StowAway trumps the traditional screens. When not in use, the StowAway retractable screen rolls safely and slowly into its attractive, yet unobtrusive housing.

Centor® Architectural Unveils the S1E Eco-ScreenTM, the First Large Retractable Screen and Blind System for Windows and Doors to Double as Projection Big Screen

One of the hottest applications to recently hit the market has been the Centor Architectural S1E Eco-Screen. Eco friendly, energy saving and amazing- the Centor Architectural S1E Eco-Screen has a host of unbelievable options.

Eco-Friendly Enjoyment
Caring for the environment has never been so cool. Not only does the screen provide chemical free bug control, it also provides thermal insulation by converting a single-glaze opening to double-glaze performance. It also provides exceptional UV protection, which keeps rooms cool during the day and minimizes heating requirements at night. This allows homeowners to open windows and doors as needed and save hundreds on their annual utility bill while reducing harmful CO2 emissions. The advanced light fingertip control makes opening and closing the screen easy, even for small children. The S1E Eco-Screen is also 80 percent recyclable.

Awesome Options
The S1E Eco-Screen has two mesh options.

The insect mesh screen offers the advantages of unobstructed views of outdoor landscapes, cost savings and being environmentally friendly.

The solar UV blind control mesh which is not only eco-friendly, protects furniture and other belongings from fading, and doubles as a projection screen when combined with the blind option — this allows for viewing movies or sporting events on the “big screen” from either inside or outside.

The S1E Eco-Screen can be mounted in any door or window, accommodates inward and outward openings or can be surface mounted to the wall. It is available for any architectural opening up to 24 feet wide and 10 feet high in either screen or blind material.
