Mueller Remodeling Reveals How Composite and PVC Decking Differ for Winter Installation

CINCINNATI, OH - November 06, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Mueller Remodeling is outlining how composite and PVC decking differ for cold-weather installation as winter approaches in Southwest Ohio. For homeowners planning decks on sloped yards, site conditions help shape the design. Late-season installation adds another consideration: the temperature when boards are installed. Fiberon, a brand Mueller Remodeling lists on its company profile, publishes a separate installation guide for each material.
Both materials expand and contract with the weather, so manufacturers specify end-to-end board gaps based on the installation temperature. In Fiberon’s guide for polyethylene (PE) composite decking, the gap is one-quarter inch at 35 degrees Fahrenheit and below. It narrows in steps as temperatures rise and reaches zero at 110 degrees and above.

Fiberon’s PVC guide uses a shorter chart with different values. It calls for a one-eighth-inch end gap at 35 degrees and below, one-sixteenth inch from 36 to 89 degrees, and no gap at 90 degrees and above. Full warranty coverage depends on meeting the manufacturer’s spacing requirements.
The two charts show that composite and PVC boards follow different rules, even from the same manufacturer. Gap requirements also vary by manufacturer and product line, so installers should follow the guide's current spacing tables for the specific board.
Cold air affects more than spacing. Both Fiberon guides specify pre-drilling at board ends and at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit when installing hidden face fasteners. Pre-drilling helps prevent splitting around screw holes. Side-to-side spacing stays at a minimum of three-sixteenths of an inch in every season, with at least one quarter inch between boards and any permanent structure.
For late-season deck planning, NOAA’s winter outlook, released October 15, 2026, favors warmer-than-average temperatures for the Midwest and much of the East from December through February. For the Ohio Valley, the outlook does not favor either a wetter or a drier winter. The agency notes that it does not project snowfall totals, since snow is generally not predictable more than a week ahead.
Whatever the seasonal forecast, storage and handling also affect board temperature before installation. The guides call for storing boards on a flat surface with support every 24 inches and keeping them shaded or covered once packaging is removed. Direct sunlight can heat boards above the surrounding air temperature, so the manufacturer advises keeping them shaded before cutting and securing them.
Fiberon recommends added blocking where temperature swings are extreme. Its guides recommend extra framing support made from nominal two-inch lumber where board ends meet. When hidden fasteners are used, the guides also call for two screws driven through each board’s face into the joist nearest its midpoint.
This helps the boards expand and contract evenly at both ends. The guides also recommend arranging the framing supports in a ladder pattern to allow drainage, rather than laying solid blocking flat.
The guides also differ on installations where boards may remain underwater. The PVC guide permits submerged dock and pool applications, but its warranty excludes boards submerged in water that repeatedly freezes and thaws. The PE composite guide prohibits prolonged partial or complete submersion.
Mueller Remodeling’s materials note that Ohio freeze-thaw cycles can stress boards and fasteners and that drainage beneath a deck helps boards perform consistently. Fiberon’s guides require unobstructed airflow beneath at least half of the deck’s perimeter.
They also require at least 1.5 inches of clearance above the ground or existing surface, measured from the bottom of the joists or fascia, whichever hangs lower. Water must also drain away from beneath the structure.

Bale Collision Center Explains How to Calculate the ROI of Bringing Auto Glass Services In-House

Little Rock, AR - November 06, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Bale Collision Center is publishing business-focused guidance explaining how collision repair facilities can calculate the potential return on investment (ROI) of bringing auto glass services in-house. The November publication outlines a practical financial framework for comparing outsourced glass work with an internally managed operation, including startup expenses, labor costs, equipment requirements, service volume, and potential operational savings.
Auto glass replacement is a common component of collision repair, particularly when an accident damages a windshield, side window, or rear glass. Some repair facilities outsource this work to specialized providers, while others evaluate whether performing glass replacement internally could improve scheduling control and reduce certain third-party expenses.

Bale Collision Center provides auto glass replacement services in Little Rock. The new guidance uses the company's service area as context for explaining the financial and operational considerations involved in evaluating an in-house glass program. It does not assume that bringing glass services in-house is the best financial decision for every repair business.
The first step is establishing the current cost of outsourcing. Repair facilities can review the number of glass jobs completed over a defined period, the amounts paid to outside providers, and any additional expenses associated with transportation, scheduling, or administrative coordination.
These figures provide a baseline for evaluating the existing arrangement. However, total outsourcing expenses should not automatically be treated as potential savings because an internal operation would introduce its own labor, materials, and overhead costs.
The second step is estimating the investment required to establish internal capabilities. Depending on the scope of services, expenses may include technician training, specialized tools, installation equipment, workspace preparation, inventory storage, insurance considerations, and required safety procedures.
Facilities should also account for ongoing operating costs. Replacement glass, adhesives, moldings, consumables, technician compensation, equipment maintenance, waste handling, and administrative work can affect the actual cost of each completed installation.
The November guidance recommends separating one-time startup expenses from recurring operating costs to avoid overstating the potential financial benefit.
Once these figures are established, repair businesses can estimate their contribution margin per glass job. This represents the revenue attributable to an internally completed service minus the variable costs directly associated with performing that work.
A basic calculation can be expressed as:
Annual incremental operating benefit = Annual in-house glass revenue minus annual in-house operating costs minus the contribution previously earned from outsourced glass work.
Annual ROI = (Annual incremental operating benefit minus annualized startup investment) divided by startup investment, multiplied by 100.
Because this simplified ROI calculation depends on how investment costs are allocated, businesses should use a consistent financial method and avoid counting the same startup expense twice.
A related calculation is the payback period, which estimates how long it may take for incremental cash benefits to recover the initial investment. Dividing the startup investment by the expected annual incremental cash benefit can provide a preliminary estimate when those benefits are positive and reasonably stable.
Service volume is another important consideration. A facility completing relatively few glass replacements may find that equipment, training, and staffing costs are difficult to recover. Higher volume can improve the opportunity to spread fixed expenses across more jobs, although actual profitability still depends on pricing and operating efficiency.
Bale Collision Center's guidance also addresses operational factors that may influence the financial calculation. Internal glass services can potentially reduce certain scheduling dependencies, but they also create responsibilities for parts ordering, inventory control, installation quality, and technician availability.
For collision repair facilities, these considerations should be evaluated alongside the broader collision repair process. Glass installation may need to be coordinated with body repairs, refinishing, adhesive curing requirements, and other vehicle-specific procedures.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems add another cost consideration. Vehicles equipped with windshield-mounted cameras may require calibration after glass replacement according to manufacturer procedures. Businesses evaluating internal glass operations should determine whether they can perform the applicable calibration procedures or will continue using outside providers.
Bale Collision Center provides information about these requirements through its ADAS services. Calibration equipment, technician qualifications, workspace requirements, and outsourced calibration expenses may materially affect the economics of an internal glass program.
The November publication recommends testing multiple financial scenarios rather than relying on a single projected outcome. Repair businesses can compare conservative, expected, and higher-volume estimates to understand how changes in job count, labor expense, parts costs, and supplier pricing affect the potential return.
For Little Rock collision repair businesses, the central takeaway is that bringing auto glass services in-house should be evaluated as a measurable operational investment. A complete calculation considers both the potential financial benefits and the responsibilities that come with performing the work internally.

DBM Aesthetics Releases Luchel Skin Booster Use Guidance

New Guidance Clarifies Topical and Injectable Skin Booster Use
  Mission Viejo, United States - November 6, 2026 / DB Medical Corporation / 
  
MISSION VIEJO, CA, November 6, 2026 — DBM Aesthetics released updated guidance outlining how aesthetic providers should distinguish injectable skin boosters from Luchel Skin Booster, a professional topical product intended for application to intact skin. The guidance emphasizes product identification, intended use, treatment planning, documentation, and product-specific safety procedures.
The update addresses differences among products marketed under the skin booster category, including variations in ingredients, treatment depth, regulatory status, application methods, and intended outcomes. DBM Aesthetics developed the guidance to help U.S. medical spas and aesthetic providers separate injectable treatment protocols from topical professional skin care workflows.
The guidance outlines a structured product review process before treatment. Providers should confirm the exact product name, ingredients, intended use, treatment area, manufacturer instructions, packaging condition, expiration date, lot number, and applicable placement requirements before starting a procedure.
For injectable skin boosters, the guidance emphasizes patient assessment, medical history review, informed consent, standardized photography, treatment documentation, and product-specific technique. It also notes that no universal injection depth, dose, device, or placement pattern applies across all products marketed as skin boosters.
The operational framework includes documentation of the product used, lot number, treatment amount, device, placement plane, treatment sites, aftercare instructions, and procedures for responding to adverse events. Providers should also maintain clear escalation procedures for symptoms that may require urgent medical assessment.
The guidance separately identifies Luchel Skin Booster as a topical professional product rather than an injectable skin booster. Luchel is supplied as a two-component system: 160 mg of fully solubilized mPEG PDLLA and a 3 mL liquid base containing hyaluronic acid, polynucleotide, and proteoglycan. Mix the components before topical use.
DBM Aesthetics states that Luchel should be applied topically to intact skin according to its product instructions and should not be injected, implanted, used as a dermal filler, or introduced through microneedling channels unless applicable product and device labeling specifically permits that use.
Medical spas may incorporate Luchel into professional hydration services or other noninjectable skin care workflows. The guidance recommends that providers assess the skin for irritation, infection, open areas, or recent procedures before application and maintain appropriate storage, packaging inspection, lot tracking, and response documentation practices.
DBM Aesthetics said its product guidance will continue to focus on intended-use clarity, structured provider workflows, and separating topical product applications from injectable treatment protocols as professional skin care practices continue to evolve.
