CertainTeed Product Featured On HGTV Canada

Building products provider CertainTeed Corp. of Valley Forge, Pa., has announced that its Form-A-Drain® product, a patented multi-functional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foundation footing form, will be featured in an upcoming episode of HGTV Canada's "Holmes On Homes™" television show.
According to CertainTeed, the Canada-based home construction and renovation series recently filmed the installation of 1,400 feet of its Form-A-Drain for a special two-hour episode called "Lien On Me," scheduled to air in early 2007.

The company says its product was selected for easy installation and lower labor costs and, since it's made of PVC, it can remain in place after the foundation is poured.

Steve Gross, marketing director for CertainTeed's pipe and plastics group, said, "We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with 'Holmes On Homes' and show Form-A-Drain in action to television viewers in so many different countries."

The company says "Lien On Me" centers on a couple whose house was left unfinished by a contractor, who received almost $220,000 on a $200,000 contract, then put a construction lien on the house for another $343,000. "Holmes On Homes" host Mike Holmes, has come to the rescue by rebuilding the house.
