Garage door can be kept in good condition by giving it a monthly inspection, keeping it clean and oiling the door roller, bearings and hinges while keeping a watch for signs of rust and wear. It protects the valuables, home and family while being the largest architectural feature on the front of home so its maintenance is of utmost importance. Garage door’s tightly wound springs stretch each time it is opened and closed. Mostly torsion springs are used commonly used for sectional overhead doors.

And there are two types of torsion springs, one is the galvanized and the other oil tempered. Oil tempered torsion springs are recommended as they provide years of trouble-free operation. And they can be maintained by applying a silicone lubricant.

There should be a safety containment system in place. Metal tube can be used to enclose the garage door springs so as to avoid damage if any of it breaks or there is a safety cable running through extension springs. If the door needs a repair always trust it with a professional instead of doing a DIY or hiring a rookie. Choose a person with a good experience either listed in a good site with recommendations or suggested by trustworthy friend.

If the door is noisy, imbalanced, or springs & hinges have worn out, it’s best to call a professional. Another part of garage door spring systems are the garage door brackets at the bottom of the garage door. If they are under tension, it should only be adjusted by a garage door professional. Do not consider repair of garage door as a school project or a DIY craft project. It gives protection to the homes and family, trust its repair only to right professional. Maintain it as per the guideline of the makers and repair doers.

SPOTLIGHT: Sweet vinyl by DREAMOUR

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
