Pink! It's my favorite crayon! I even have a room in my house that's just for me, and the walls are bubblegum pink. But now, pink can go much further than the paint on the walls. Earlier this year, Mike Holmes put his stamp of approval on a new product, PinkWood. Like BluWood, PinkWood is wood that has been coated with a special coating, Pinkshield, which makes it mold resistant, moisture resistant, and fire resistant. It's completely non-toxic, and "when exposed to flame, creates an endothermic reaction that significantly slows
the time to ignition of the coated material and decreases the rate at which the
fire spreads," according to the website. Endothermic is a fancy word for absorbing heat. Basically, when exposed to heat, PinkWood gets colder through a chemical reaction, similar to an ice pack. So scientific... and pretty :-)

MIKE HOLMES MAKES IT PINK
Calgary, AB—March 14, 2012—PinkWood Ltd. is proud to announce The
Holmes Group’s support of PinkWood’s family of products. Mike Holmes is lending
his public appeal to endorse PinkWood’s fire, mould and moisture resistant PKI
I-joists, lumber and sheathing, fire rated PK Fireboard, and Pinkshield 5000
intumescent paint.
“PinkWood helps protect a home’s structure against moisture and mould,”
stated Mike Holmes. “It also helps reduce the spread of flames in case of fire.
That’s smart. As a builder, it makes sense to use PinkWood.”
Holmes Approved Home builders provide those purchasing a Holmes Approved Home
with the option of upgrading to PinkWood for their home’s construction.
“We are very pleased to have the endorsement of Mike Holmes,” stated Blair
Nutting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for PinkWood. “He is a well
respected contractor with a great deal of experience in solving problems that
plague wood frame construction. His support will help us reach homeowners who
are unaware of the problems that moisture can cause on structural wood products,
both during construction and after the home is built,” added Nutting.
Mike Holmes is continually working to improve the industry by raising
building standards. This includes incorporating premium products into home
building and renovation practices.
“When we use PinkWood products we create safer living environments for
homeowners,” added Holmes. “And that’s something I can stand behind.”
