Hands Off!

Homeowners will love the hands-free operation of Symmons' new Ultra-Sense S-6050 Series Sensor Activated Faucet. The S-6050 is battery-powered with self-adjusting infrared microchip technology.

Sealin' in the Flavor

Keeping things nice and tight around the seams is Dow's Window & Door 1000 Sealant. It is specifically formulated to seal window and door framework as well as exterior and interior trim and finish joints. Plus, it works with most building materials. It is moisture- and mildew-resistant and contains a non-yellowing formula and rust-inhibitor that reduces the potential for corrosion at joint seals with metal components.

Certainly, My Dear
