The Garage:
  1. Hot/Cold Freezeless Faucets Near the Garage

    Hot and Cold silcocks These freezeless faucets are designed to provide year round hot and cold water service regardless of outside temperature.

    While this might seem to be a frivolous luxury at first, consider how often warm water has to be hauled from the kitchen outdoors to wash the car or other bulky items.   Learn more

  2. Garage Utility Sink

    Kohler Harborview Utility SInk A great way to minimize bringing dirt into the house, is with a utility sink in the garage.

    A garage sink is the perfect place to wash hands and dirty boots, clean paint brushes and tools, pot plants ... all those clean-up projects that all too often end up in your kitchen sink.

            in cold climates, make sure the pipes
            are insulated or use freezeless faucets
