Bridge to Somewhere
A unique composite technology means BridgeWood windows look and work like wood but won’t rot, split, splinter, or absorb water, the maker says. Even more attractive to high-end customers looking for low maintenance is the Green & Clean glass package, which combines multiple layers of “self-cleaning” low-E 366 glass with krypton and argon gas to create U-values as low as 0.3. As such, the windows help keep excess heat and UV rays from entering the home. MI Windows. 717.365.3300. www.miwd.com.
Teak Peek
Finely crafted teak countertops and islands with striking woodgrain patterns target high-end customers who appreciate the wood’s natural beauty and durability. The green elements of teak will also garner interest, as the company is committed to environmentally responsible forestry practices. Aesthetically, the interplay of dark heartwood and light sapwood in the countertops creates a sophisticated look that is available in end-grain, face-grain, and edge-grain styles, either finished or unfinished. Standard and custom sizes are available. Proteak. 866.376.1587. www.proteak.com.
