Visualize the Possibilities in Exterior Home Renovations: The Designed Exterior by Ply Gem

CARY, N.C., Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ply Gem®, a leading manufacturer of exterior building products, has expanded The Designed Exterior by Ply Gem with digital tools to help customers walk through the home renovation process and visually depict how existing home exteriors can be updated. The Designed Exterior by Ply Gem is a complete exterior home solution from a single manufacturer – including windows, siding, stone veneer, fence, rail, accessories and accents – that helps customers realize the possibilities in designing the exterior of their homes. The new, free tools will be available on www.plygem.com.

The Designed Exterior by Ply Gem online experience begins with a selection of single-story, split-level, or two-story home styles. Each style of home is then expressed in multiple ways capturing the most prevalent American homes, built between 1955 and 1985, so users can select the home that most closely matches their own and then see how it can be completely transformed and updated. In selecting the most popular home styles, Ply Gem worked with leading architects to make certain that the homes reflected the majority of the housing stock in America so that most people could find a home that's reminiscent of their own.

"Through the visualizer, homeowners will be able to envision how their home could be updated to reflect classic architectural styles and also allowing them to experiment with color and texture combinations in real time," said John Stephenson, vice president, marketing, Ply Gem.

The tool takes each of the homes through two levels of renovation – a simple refresh with new siding or stone and window replacement, and an enhanced renovation with cosmetic, non-structural elevation changes such as adding a porch, columns or basic gables. The tool also outlines how homeowners can work with a remodeler to achieve the transformations they want with recommended Ply Gem products for each home style and includes suggested color combinations from color and design experts.
