Jeffrey L. Davis, the Founder and Principal Designer of Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS was a recent a guest on the popular television show, For Your Home hosted by Vicki Payne and Sloan Payne-Rutter.
 
For Your Home has been public television’s premiere home and garden series for over nine years. Vicki Payne and her daughter Sloan Payne-Rutter take the guesswork out of Do-It-Yourself projects for the home.  They show viewers ‘how to do it’ with easy to understand, step-by-step instructions for projects that range from creating a playroom that doubles as a comfortable spot for overnight guests, to creating an outdoor Pergola.

 

Vicki talked with Jeff about Chadsworth’s new Classical Pergola Line.  They also discussed how you could add character to your home by using columns on the interior as well as the exterior. By adding a pergola, your yard will become another ‘room’, where you and your family will want to spend all your time during the summer and into the fall.
Choose from a 2, 4, 6, or 8-column ‘pergola kit’ that you can buy and install yourself.
“For Your Home is a great place to launch our new line of our ‘pergola kits’, said Davis, viewers will actually see an 8 Column custom pergola being built on the show.”
 
For Your Home inspires viewers to make improvements to their homes and gardens, under the guidance of experts Vicki and Sloan. This dynamic mother and daughter duo are talented, interesting and fun to watch!  For Your Home is seen on public television stations nationwide, as well as in Canada and Japan.  FamilyNet and GoodLife cable networks also carry the show.

WILMINGTON, N.C., March 1, 2005 — Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS are featured in the February Issue of HOME Magazine.  The Ultimate Insiders Guide to Unique and Hard to Find Home Goods and Services is an annual list of sometimes off-the-beaten-path but always-outstanding home-related products and shops.

Listed under Alternative Building Materials, Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS PolyStone® Columns topped the list.  ‘By merging classical styling with modern materials like lightweight spun-fiberglass and low-maintenance PVC, Chadsworth has produced a collection of stock and custom columns that will withstand the test of time.

Chadsworth’s PolyStone® columns are made of reinforced polyester resin, fiberglass and marble dust, and feature an architectural taper and a classical bead.  The Tuscan capitals and bases are made from the same material as the shafts.

No stranger to the readers of HOME, Chadsworth’s 1. 800.COLUMNS PolyStone® Column was the recipient of HOME Magazine’s 2001 American Building Products Award.  “The PolyStone® Composite Column was chosen because its design so clearly responds to the demands for form and function required by today’s lifestyles”, said then Editor Gale Steves, “The PolyStone® Column is a classic idea with a twist”.

“Architects, builders, designers, and homeowners tell us that our PolyStone® Column is an excellent product, and is the only choice when extra strength and durability are needed on the job, and we’re glad that Home Magazine agreed,” says Jeffrey L. Davis, the Founder and Principal Designer of Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS.
