Dehumidifier vs Air Conditioner: Which Is Better? | |
|
"While air conditioners throw cool air into the room, dehumidifiers pull out moisture from the air. While an air conditioner is primarily used for removing hot air and introducing cold air in a room, it also removes humidity from the air as a consequence. But the volume of moisture removed is not in such a great quantity so as to have a noticeable effect on the room atmosphere.
This is where a dehumidifier is more efficient; it can remove a high amount of moisture from the room. While the room temperature may naturally drop when humidity is removed, dehumidifiers do not throw any cool air into a room. However, an air conditioner provides the top-level cooling with maintaining the humidity as a value-added feature!
| |
|
With a choice between both appliances, it can be hard to choose which appliance to go for. Air conditioners provide superior cooling and, at times, even heating, while a dehumidifier doesn’t provide either. The choice of which appliance to opt for depends heavily on your personal preferences, budget, living location, and design of the house."

During and after interior construction of a home or remodeling project, nothing is as important as protecting all the surfaces that you have worked so hard to finish during construction, and to leave behind a finished product that you are proud of and satisfies your customer.
Marine carries a selection of products by Ram Board to assist you with the process of protecting your client’s home. We carry a floor protector, jamb protector and stair protector. We have seam tape as well as a multi-cutting tool for installation of these products. These items are located around the lumber counter.

Ram Board is a heavy-duty floor protector paper manufactured with Spill Guard® Technology. This temporary floor protection has extreme liquid holdout, protecting hardwoods, vinyl, tile and other hard surfaces from water, mud, and heavy traffic. Ram Board floor protection is made from recycled materials and is reusable. The exclusive Wall Guard® feature includes a scored line to protect baseboards and trim from scuffs and dings. This product is built to last throughout your project and is best with Ram Board Seam Tape, also sold at Marine. | | |
|
Ram Jamb is new to MHC’s line of protection products. It is a heavy duty door jamb protector that is flexible, easy to install, reusable, and will fit jamb depths of 4-9”. Simply stretch the product to fit the jamb and place it. Ram Jamb installs in seconds and comes in a 60” length. | |
|
Stair Armor is an absolute must-have for temporary stair protection during construction. Made with heavy-duty paperboard 4.5X thicker than builder’s paper, adjustable tread sizing, bullnose surface protection, and spill-resistant technology, Stair Armor is perfect for high foot traffic areas on your job site due to its anti-slip properties. Simply clean your stair treads well, fold the bullnose down, and tape in place. We have the convenient multi-cutting tool available to assist you in installation for this product.

Some of my least favorite moments in the building trades were not due to working in the heat, working in the cold, or carrying heavy loads, but from working in darkness. I can remember many times struggling to read my tape or find my marks in the shadowy corners of houses old and new. | |

Is it possible that summer is half over? To get the most out of August, put your mind at ease with a fall plan. Then put it aside and enjoy the last days of summer. Walk room by room and assess your home. Make a list of what needs fixing, replacing and adding for next season and keep in mind, there’s no substitute for quality, so replace what isn’t working with the best you can afford. Nothing refreshes a room like a new window treatment and there’s a whole lot of options from Hunter Douglas. | |
