A Layman’s Guide 

to Home Design 

Article Provided by Debbie Titus - Home Planning Centre 

HOME DESIGN requires important considerations 

regarding functionality, efficiency and lifestyle. 

The Site must be considered when deciding on a house 

plan. Often home planners will put the largest/widest house 

allowed by zoning bylaws on your lot. Consider directionality, 

especially if using passive solar heating. 

Traffic routes should be kept short, reducing wasted space. 

Avoid routes requiring passage through rooms. Determine 

traffic patterns by tracing over the plan with a pencil, following 

your daily routines. Time, space and even maintenance 

can be saved with efficient design. 

Homes have three basic activity zones; sleeping, service and 

living areas. Try to keep them separate from each other. 

The main entry should lead guests directly to living areas. 

Consider visually separating the main entry from the living 

area for privacy. First impressions are good impressions. 

The Kitchen’s efficiency is optimized when the refrigerator, 

range and sink form a 12 to 20 foot “work triangle”. Kitchen 

and eating areas should be close. 

Living rooms are multi-functional, serving as recreational, 

study or occasional dining areas, and situated adjacent to 

the entrance and dining room; areas most frequented by 

guests. 

Bedroom sizes are determined considering bed types and 

additional furnishing; have two walls free from doors and 

windows to allow a flexible furniture layout. 

Bathrooms can be used for dressing, exercising and laundering. 

Full bathrooms should be accessible to all bedrooms 

and must be minimum 5’-0” x 7’-6” to accommodate all 

fixtures. 

Stairways, properly sized, average 14 to 16 risers and are at 

least 3’-2” wide. 

Planning aides to help you design your home can be as 

simple as graph paper and pencil or a more complicated 

home design computer software. 

Remember when choosing or designing your home plan, 

there is no perfect plan for everyone. The most important 

factor is incorporating your lifestyle into the plan.

WINDOW REPLACEMENT SPECIALIST 

Article written by Randy Christenson - Owner Christenson Exteriors 

Why should I consider replacing my windows? 

If your windows are more than 15-20 years old, replacing 

them is one of the best ways to increase the energy 

efficiency and comfort of your home. Anywhere from 25 

to 30 % of your home’s energy costs are lost through the 

windows. As well, when the inside surface of the glass gets 

below 11 degrees Celsius a room will feel cold. Installing 

new energy-efficient windows can greatly decrease your 

heating costs and improve your comfort level in your 

home. 

My windows are only 20 years old, should I look at 

replacing them? 

Over time, the components of a window will suffer wear 

and tear. Seals lose their elasticity and their ability to seal 

moisture and cold air out. Hardware wears out and makes 

opening and closing the windows more difficult. With 

wood windows moisture can get into the wood causing 

the components to swell or shrink, making them difficult 

to open or close. Windows that are difficult to open or 

close or have condensation between the panes of glass 

could indicate that it is time to consider replacement 

windows. 

What are windows made of today? 

Window frames can be manufactured from many different 

types of materials. These range from hollow vinyl to composite 

vinyl, fibreglass, wood, wood-metal clad, vinyl-metal 

clad and even aluminum and steel frames. 

Many of window replacements these days are done with 

hollow vinyl frames. These windows balance energy efficiency, 

stability and rigidness. Composite vinyl frames offer 

an even more rigid frame and better energy efficiency. 

Fibreglass frames are among the strongest, most durable 

frames one can find. This allows for some configurations 

that other window types cannot provide. 

Wood metal clad and vinyl metal clad windows marry 

the performance of the vinyl or wood windows with the 

durability and strength of metal. European style “tilt-turn” 

windows are made of extruded vinyl and steel and are engineered 

to allow for some the most energy efficient, sturdy 

windows on the market. The size of operating windows 

that can be built with these windows is truly astounding. 

How do I know if my windows need replacing? 

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms described 

earlier, you should likely start researching your window 

replacement options. There is no one-size fits all, cookie-cutter 

solution to window replacements. 

The age and the style of the home, type of frame, glass & 

which Low E coatings all must be discussed. As well, you 

may be thinking of updating the look of your home with 

new siding or stucco. To find the right solution, all of these 

things need to be considered. The first step many people 

take is to do an internet search. Places like CMHC and the 

Efficient Windows Collaborative have loads of information. 

Next you might want to visit window contractor’s showroom 

to see what the different options look like. Then you 

may have someone come and do an assessment on your 

present windows.

Your Inspector 

For most people buying a home is the biggest 

investment in their life and I am here to make 

your decision easier by thoroughly inspecting your 

future home. 

I walk every roof, as long as it is safe to do so. 

This ensures that I can have a good look at shingle 

installation and condition, flashing installation and 

other things which may affect your roof. 

I will also have a good look at grading, siding, stucco, 

sidewalks, driveways, deck, heating/air conditioning, 

electric, plumbing and much more. 

Local-Inspector.ca is your “one stop Inspection 

shop”. 

Hi, my name is Ronny Reinhold. I started my 

career as an apprentice carpenter in 1995 in Germany, 

where I also achieved a Master Carpenter 

designation in 2004. 

I came to Canada in 2006 where I first worked for 

a commercial contractor before I started my own 

company The Carpenter Edmonton Ltd. in 2011. 

I am always on the lookout for things which can 

benefit our clients. In 2016 I decided to obtain a 

Home Inspection License and support my desire 

to ensure top quality safe and reliable work for all 

my clients and anyone else who might need Home 

Inspection advice. The Carpenter Edmonton Ltd. 

therefore is a licensed as a Home Inspection Business

REAL HOME ADVICE 17

Jennifer Fairhurst 

Your Realtor 

Whether you’re buying or selling a home (or both), your success hinges upon the expert advice and services 

provided by your real estate agent. 

I’m committed to providing my clients with professional services based on my experience, knowledge 

and skills. 

I’ve filled this website with tips and resources to help you quickly understand what you need to know — 

and how I deliver the services designed to meet your needs. 

Looking for a Real Estate Agent 

who puts you first? 

If you’re planning to buy or sell a 

home, you want the process to go 

successfully. If you’re selling, success 

means getting your property sold 

quickly and for the highest price 

possible. If you’re buying, it means 

finding your next dream home and 

getting into it, affordably. On top of 

that, if you’re like most of my satisfied 

customers, you also want everything 

to go smoothly, with as little stress as 

possible. 

How can you ensure all that happens? 

By working with a real estate agent 

who truly puts you first. I’m proud to 

be the real estate agent of choice for 

those who want a great experience 

buying or selling a home. My “clients-first” 

approach means that you’ll 

be working with a professional who 

listens to you, provides expert advice, 

and works hard on your behalf. 

The Expert by Your Side 

When you’re selling: 

My track record of success means I 

know how to showcase your house 

effectively, market and promote it 

so that it attracts qualified buyers 

and get it SOLD for the highest price. 

Throughout the process, I’m with you 

every step of the way, making sure 

your questions are answered, all the 

details are handled expertly, and the 

entire experience is a positive one. 

When you’re buying: 

My expertise in the local market 

means I can introduce you to homes 

that meet your criteria – and notify 

you immediately of brand new 

listings. I can advise you on what to 

look for when viewing a home, so you 

don’t make a catastrophic mistake, 

and I can arm you with in-depth details 

on every property you see. When 

you find a home you fall in love with, 

I know how to negotiate effectively 

so you get that property, at the best 

possible price. In fact, nothing pleases 

me more than saying, “The home is 

yours.” 

The Right Real Estate Agent for 

You 

Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s 

ultimately about realizing a dream. I 

understand how much the decision 

will mean to you. In fact, that’s one 

of the reasons I became a real estate 

agent – to help people buy or sell a 

home, while making the process easy 

and trouble-free. Clients often tell me 

how much they appreciate my expertise, 

my willingness to be there with 

them every step of the way, and my 

determination to get them the best 

deal. They also tell me I’m friendly and 

a pleasure to work with – which is 

quite a compliment!

Proudly owned and operated by Leo Gingras and 

Family and providing 70 jobs in Alberta. 

“HOW MY COMPANY is AND why MY FOCUS CHANGED 

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001” 

LEO GINGRAS’S OWN WORDS: 

“Sept 11 2001,I remember going to a restaurant across 

the road from the office after hearing about the attacks 

on the US. I sat for hours watching what went 

on and felt great loss. That was a change in our world. 

My commitment to customers changed as I felt those 

peoples sacrifice that day. I was determined then to 

give the respect and deliver on commitments regardless 

of the owners mindset. The customer was now 

family. I have tried my career in property maintenance 

to supply valued service to all customers. I have most of 

these customers with me since that change in attitude. 

The change in attitude was not profit driven but customer 

driven. I have really great customers and look 

after properties for them in Lloydminster, Whitecourt, 

Calgary and of course all around Edmonton”. 


One thing is personal to us and my Friend Shane 

Michener is the Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation. 

Jessica was a loved relative of Shane’s wife Monique, 

Shane and I are partners in A Kung Fu School (Inner 

Dragon Kung Fu) We have retired from formal classes. 

We offer, for fundraising purposes, a Women’s Self Defense 

Seminar Shane developed and usually have one a 

year. www.jessicamartelmemorialfoundation.com 

Kung Fu was a part of my life since 1993. Teaching and 

passing on the importance of discipline & respect. 

IF YOU CAN WE ASK YOU TO SUPPORT 

STOLLERY CHILDRENS HOSPITAL, THE HEART AND 

STROKE FOUNDATION OR THE LIVER FOUNDATION 

WHAT DRIVES US GOING FORWARD 

“I believe that every customer has a set amount of 

money available to maintain the property they own, by 

providing the cost efficient technology we can improve 

the end result. I will assist in other areas and assist with 

other aspects of the remaining budget to save more. If 

I was really driven by profits like majority of my competitors 

I would not be doing a great service to my customer.”
