For thousands of years people have known about the insulating qualities of down, not to mention the absolute comfort it gives.  Pluma Down brings that knowledge to each and every product they make and they ensure the use of the finest mature goose down available.

[CONTACT NAME AND TITLE NEEDED] states, “There is a trend toward using mature goose down for pillows and bedding.  The down from mature geese is warmer because it offers a greater number of air pockets making it a more efficient insulator.  This just makes for cozier, warmer bedding.”

Down from mature geese has larger clusters of filaments to trap warm air efficiently.  When the down from immature birds is used it is less warm and it cannot stand up to the use it gets as the fibers are more fragile.  Pluma Down uses only the finest mature goose down from Canadian geese.

All of Pluma Down’s products, including duvet covers and cotton bedding, are 100% chemical-free, which means that there is no harm to the environment or the consumer.  This aspect of production has resulted in Pluma Down’s products being awarded the Swiss certification of Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

Pluma Down’s wide range of products includes comforters, pillows, feather beds, bedding, duvet covers, and so much more.  For more information and a warm and cozy night’s sleep visit www.plumadown.com or call 1-800-337-8202.

The fashion industry struck close to home in August when Flirty Aprons made its international debut at the Gourmet Kitchen and Housewares show in San Francisco. Retail customers and those interested in wholesale aprons alike came away with jaws dropped. One of the buyers for a major retail catalog couldn’t believe what she saw: “Now there’s an apron I would actually wear!” Since the show, Flirty Aprons’ customer base has grown by more than 400% in just two months. It is a phenomenon that is quickly catching hold across the nation – and the world.

The underlying reason for the growing popularity of Flirty Aprons lies in its customers’ emotions. Co-owner Heather Hansen put it perfectly: “women like to feel pretty.” And in a world where most people only look their best to go out, wearing a Flirty Apron makes it easy to bring fashion back into the home. Rave reviews by thrilled customers are all too common: “I’m telling all my girlfriends about these women’s aprons!” and “It makes me feel all cute and happy when I am cooking!”

With all the excitement surrounding the revitalized trend, it’s as if consumers are hungry for something that takes them back to a time when things were simpler. And, in the process, an age-old cooking fashion is being thrown back into the spotlight, rising to the forefront of high fashion in the home.

Flirty Aprons was founded in 2008. Today it offers designer aprons, both women and men’s aprons, to its customers through a state-of-the-art website flirtyaprons.com, multiple mall distributorship locations in the United States, and in retail stores throughout the world.

And it’s not just in the United States, either. With international distributors lining up to gain exclusive rights, don’t be surprised to see these cute and sexy aprons gracing store windows in Canada, Japan, the UK, Australia, and many others.

Pittsburgh, PA ( PressRelaseRoom ) July 17, 2009  – Summer is prime time for new construction projects and Estate Millwork, an exterior shutter manufacturer, is emphasizing its broad range of customer service options for builders, contractors, architects, and homeowners

The company, known for its all-wood exterior shutters, provides builders with quick quoting services, single-point customer service, web-based exterior shutter ordering, and many samples and amenities for builders, contractors, and architects.

“We offer a number of amenities to support your home or company,” says Estate Millwork representative Jim Jackson. “Of course, we offer great deals on exterior shutters – and good discounts for big projects. But we also offer services that make your total business experience more pleasant.”

One hallmark of the exterior shutter company is its mill-workers’ ability to render custom shutters from AutoCAD drawings or sketches. Estate Millwork fills orders for builders on spec, and accepts CAD drawings, sketches, and low- and high-resolution renderings.

Architects can benefit from these services, too.

“Many architects come to us because they want to reproduce a specific period piece or a certain kind of exterior shutter,” Jackson says. He notes that Estate Millwork craftsmen can deftly reproduce exterior shutters from various drawings, including three-dimensional renderings. In addition, the company has a large library of 18th- and 19th-century architecture and carpentry books to which designers can refer. For more info, visit their full catalog of exterior shutters .  Many books feature detailed instructions on exterior shutter styling from those time periods.

For learning purposes, says Jackson, architects, builders, or contractors can schedule shop tours to get a better idea of how Estate Millwork operates. A plant tour enables a worker or a group to learn how Estate Millwork uses advanced robotics to streamline and perfect exterior shutter craftsmanship, while still delivering hand-assembled, hand-finished results.

Estate Millwork also helps architects build greener buildings. All window shutters are crafted from sustainable-harvest timber. The plant is green, too: Jackson and his crew pride themselves on enforcing strict temperature controls and recycling requirements in the shutter-making plant.

In a down economy, says Jackson, some homeowners turn to do-it-yourself solutions. So the company added the Online Design Tool to its website in 2008. Now, homeowners can accurately specify the dimensions of their exterior shutters with just a few clicks.

“That doesn’t replace the human factor,” says Jackson. He notes that Estate Millwork staff can assist homeowners in the measuring process, or help them choose the right kinds of exterior shutters for their homes. Homeowners interested in historic reproductions or period-specific exterior shutters can also request custom orders, and Estate Millwork staff members will guide them through the custom millwork process from start to finish.

Log Cabins, now usually utilised as an outdoor office, additional room or garden relaxation area, were originally constructed by the Swedes during the late 17^th century intended as low cost and easy to assemble permanent dwellings. As time passed and more sophisticated construction techniques developed the log cabin was often used for simple outdoor storage needs such as animal coops, shelters or other utilitarian uses. In the 21^st century log cabins can be found in gardens across the world but it’s right here in the United Kingdom that their design and versatility is being utilised to its limits.
In recent years the UK Log Cabin market has seen rapid growth as consumers shift from traditional economy built garden buildings to more luxurious outdoor retreats. Typically this market has been flooded with imported log cabins from the Baltic region but in 2007 the market saw its first shift towards domestically manufactured log cabins and the signs are that the influx of imported log cabins may be slowing as a direct result of these new ‘homegrown’ offerings.

From a consumer’s point of view then, is there any real difference between a flat pack imported log cabin and British built interlocking log cabin? The answer, it would seem, lies in the details.

The log cabin market has shifted dramatically with retailers now on the lookout for high quality log cabins rather than solely purchasing based on the price. Log Cabins are looked upon as a luxury garden building and many consumers are willing to stretch their budget that little bit further to get their hands on the best log cabins available.

In the past, many log cabins have been associated with water penetration and a susceptibility to wind damage but the market is changing and recent developments have seen a new breed of better quality log cabins hitting the market, led predominantly by a clutch of English manufacturers. It’s now becoming apparent that some of the most important qualities to look out for in a log cabin are the thickness and grade of the timbers used, the quality and function of the windows and doors and the structure of the interlocking joints.

Many log cabin manufacturers are now becoming aware of the increase in consumer expectations and this has driven sales to those who have been able to improve their product to suit this developing market. While it’s still true that the majority of log cabins being sold in the UK are imported, many offline and online retailers are becoming wise to the differences in the quality of the product on offer and are re-stocking their outlets with higher specification UK manufactured log cabins – A shift which has lead to an increase in log cabin sales and a decrease in subsequent customer service issues.

One leading example of a UK manufacturer making waves in the Log Cabin market is online retailer Tiger Sheds who began manufacturing their own Log Cabins in mid 2007 after encountering problems with previously supplied imported models. By spending time developing a unique four-way-chamfered interlocking notch system, to prevent water ingress, and sourcing the best quality British made windows and doors available the company has propelled their product to the high end of the marketplace. This has helped the rapidly developing London based e-tailor to see sales of their high quality Log Cabins rise by 75% in the first quarter of 2008. Combine this with a reported fall to less than 0.2% in retrospective customer service problems and there is substantial evidence to say that UK manufactured log cabins are increasing their grip on the market and, from a buyer’s point of view the– ‘Made in the UK’ stamp really does matter.

Remote Control StarTiles™ Come To EHX

Orlando, Florida (March 13-15, 2008): Electronic House Expo will be putting on a venue at the Orange County’s Convention Center to exhibit all the exciting new technical advances in home technology. Numinus LLC, creators of StarDomes™, StarTiles™, and many other LED products, will be featured in this spring’s EHX show.

Numinus create remarkable products resembling the night sky. Their StarDome is a fiberglass dome with a hand painted sky mural and twinkling LED star constellations, which makes for an incredibly realistic day or night sky. The StarDome has an incandescent cove light that can fade from day to night. The StarTile is an acoustic ceiling tile wrapped in fabric with twinkling LED stars mapped out into star constellations. Both of these products add value to homes and home theaters because they enhance the acoustic levels.

This year Numinus is also bringing a few new treats to the table. One of the new products the company’s reviling is the Remote Control StarField. The Remote gives users the ability to turn the starfield on and off, change the twinkle speed, change the brightness of the stars, and personalize favorite settings all at the push of a button. In addition to the new remote Numinus is introducing the Paintable StarTiles! These tiles are wrapped in a muslin cloth and finished with a primer, paint-ready finish. Now you have the option to make StarTiles a part of your homes color scheme, or make the StarTiles something unique by giving it your own artistic touch! At the show Numinus will be displaying their newly designed show room booth with a beautiful six foot Rotunda StarDome with a shooting star and a crescent moon! Surrounding the StarDome is a bed of twinkling fiber optic StarTiles.

To see this and more new products from Numinus, visit them at The EHX show at both number 1637. Or visit them online at www.numinus.com
