Two major studios have released it on home video in remastered versions. Warner Home Video released the film on DVD as a tie-in to the release of the 1999 remake. The color version was released on DVD the same year by 20th Century Fox. Extras prepared by Legend Films for the Fox DVD release included an audio commentary track by comedian Michael J. Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000, two versions of the trailer, and a slideshow of images from the film's original press book. The poster for the film included an illustration of a house in yet a third style, that of a fanciful four-story Romanesque structure. This room is a rotted chamber filled with the rotted remains of many of the asylum's patients.

Hearing a scream, Lance and David find Annabelle's corpse, suspended to suggest she hanged herself, but the absence of a perch immediately arouses suspicions of murder. Nora confronts Lance and tells him an unseen assailant strangled her and left her for dead. He tells her to remain out of sight so that her attacker will still think she is dead. Lance and David propose that everyone stay in their rooms and shoot anyone who enters to survive the night. Thus the innocents will have no reason to leave their rooms (and a good reason to stay inside them) and the killer must stay put or admit guilt. House on Haunted Hill is a sorry reincarnation of the 1950s William Castle horror film.

The Alexandria Hotel

Produced by Robert Zemeckis and Joel Silver, it is a remake of the 1959 film of the same title directed by William Castle, and features special effects by famed make-up artists Gregory Nicotero and Dick Smith. Millionaire Frederick Loren (Vincent Price) holds an all-night party in the supposedly haunted house cared for by jittery Watson Pritchard (Elisha Cook Jr), in William Castle’s classic gimmicky schlocker. After Nora, Watson, and Ruth release Lance from the secret room, Nora tells them that she shot Frederick. When they arrive in the cellar, Frederick explains that he loaded her gun with blanks, that his wife and David plotted to kill him, and that they both met their ends in the vat of acid.

House on Haunted Hill (1999 film)

House on Haunted Hill marked the producing debut of Dark Castle Entertainment, a production company that went on to produce numerous other horror films, including additional remakes. Castle eschews standard Gothic, and uses Frank Lloyd Wright’s superb Ennis House, 2607 Glendower Avenue, a Mayan-temple influenced structure built of pre-cast concrete blocks. After the release of the movie, it was nightly besieged by bozos, hurling bottles. Every mission in California is said to be haunted, but only one has ghost cats! The lore goes that Father Francisco Uria kept four pet cats whom he loved so much that when he died, the “four cats solemnly marched to the chapel.

Cast

Lawrence Austin reopened the theater after Hampton’s death in the early nineties; in 1997, he was fatally shot in the lobby in a plot concocted by his lover/projectionist. Hampton is said to haunt the upstairs lounge while Austin covers the lobby. Inspired by Edward Hopper’s 1925 painting House by the Railroad, the Bates’s home “sets the stage for houses of horror in film,” Wyetzner explains. Also sitting on a hill and featuring a tall mansard roof, this specific architectural detail implies that “there’s a big deep attic within, and who knows what goes on there,” Wyetzner said. Over time, these two elements became commonplace in horror homes, and, as such, can been seen in many other classic films, such as the house in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice and The Overlook Hotel in The Shining.

In a black-and-white post-credits scene, the spirits of the 1931 patients are seen torturing the Prices forever in the afterlife, presumably doomed to eternal damnation.

The film is set in an abandoned asylum, the Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally Insane, where numerous murders were committed in the past, mainly the 1920s. The head of the facility, Dr. Richard B. Vannacutt (Jeffrey Combs), performed grotesque experiments and medical procedures on the patients, killing many in the process. The hospital was closed in 1931 after the patients escaped from their cells, killing almost the entire staff (all except five) and burning the hospital. All the patients died, their souls rumored to be trapped there forever.

Upstairs, Pritchett, Eddie and Sara are trying to open one of the iron gates on the windows when they hear Price's screams from down the hall. Pritchett investigates, and The Darkness kills him while Price temporarily evades it. He figures that the only way to get out is to go to the attic and try to escape through there. Price runs ahead of them to find an escape route while Sara and Eddie stay behind. House on Haunted Hill marks the producing debut of Dark Castle Entertainment, a production company that went on to produce Thirteen Ghosts and House of Wax, two films which were also remakes.

However, during the revolt, Vannacutt was able to activate the mechanism which sealed the iron gates on all the asylum's doors and windows, thereby trapping the escaped inmates and him and his staff. A fire started in the sealed, chaotic asylum, and all of the staff and inmates were killed, except for five of Vannacutt's staff. The Baphomet Idol forced the souls of all the dead staff and inmates, including Dr. Vannacutt, who died in the building to remain trapped in the house and to do Baphomet's bidding by trapping and killing nearly anyone else who entered the facility.

House on Haunted Hill is the kind of horror movie that’s not a bit scary and quite a bit gross. This room is another part of the asylum where Vannacutt's staff performed electrotherapy on patients. It has two head harnesses which electrocute the patients when activated. This compartment is one of the parts of the asylum where the staff performed electrotherapy on patients. All three deleted scenes from the film were included on the 2000 Warner Bros.

Watson remains convinced the house is haunted, with David and Annabelle now added to its ranks of ghosts, and that he will be the next victim. The Psychiatric Institute has a lockdown mechanism which was installed by Dr. Vannacutt when the facility was an asylum to stop patients from escaping. After the original asylum was destroyed in the 1931 revolt, the lockdown mechanism was never disabled as the ghosts stopped the reconstruction attempts made over the years before the workers could disable the lockdown. After the incident at the former institute with Steven Price's party, the facility was left abandoned again. Eight years after Price's party at the asylum, Dr. Richard Hammer and his assistant Kyle arrived at the building to search it for the Baphomet Idol. Art dealer Desmond Niles and his team also came to the facility for the Idol, with a hostage Paul and Ariel Wolfe.

The film was followed by a sequel, Return to House on Haunted Hill, which was released in both rated and unrated editions on DVD in 2007. In 2007, the film was followed up with a direct-to-DVD sequel, Return to House on Haunted Hill, with Jeffrey Combs reprising his role as Vannacut and was released in both rated and unrated editions. The building's security system is mysteriously tripped, locking everyone inside – a stunt which Price blames on Evelyn. Evelyn and Steven are at one another’s throats, each trying to kill the other. Jennifer, Eddie and Pritchett search the basement for the security system's control panel.

For the campy 1999 remake, the amusement park was largely a model, based on a real park in Orlando, Florida. It’s the art deco frontage of the Griffith Observatory, 2800 East Observatory Road in Griffith Park, Los Angeles (previously a major location for Rebel Without a Cause). There have been reports of ghosts in several areas of City Hall; the most famous is a nattily-dressed, old-fashioned gentleman who likes to disrupt City Council meetings and bother officials in the bathrooms.

In 1931, the patients at the Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally Insane revolt with a prison riot against the staff, headed by the sadistic Dr. Richard B. Vannacutt. The patients start a fire which engulfs the building, killing all of the inmates and all but five of Vannacutt’s staff. Several ghosts supposedly haunt the bridge, including possibly a worker who fell into the concrete during construction. Griffith Park is all kinds of haunted, dating back supposedly to the nineteenth century, when owner Don Antonio Feliz left the land to one Don Antonio Coronel instead of to his niece, Dona Petronilla Feliz.

After he was corrupted by the Idol, throughout the early 20th century, Vannacutt began performing gruesome and torturous experiments and medical procedures on the patients. When The Darkness confronts Eddie about his ancestor's actions, Eddie screams that he was actually adopted. Pritchett's ghost then appears and opens the iron gate, and Eddie escapes. As Sara and Eddie sit in exhaustion over the night's events, they notice an envelope halfway through the gate.

The old asylum's staff used the pool to perform hydrotherapy on patients, but the patients usually drowned in the pool. This room is an isolated, inescapable room where, during Vannacutt's reign of terror, patients would be put in the room alone in the dark, most likely to starve to death. There is no way in or out of the room (except for smashing through the wall), as patients were put inside by building the room's fourth wall in front of them. This room is an isolated, decayed, almost empty room, which can be accessed through an old, decaying door.

It’s said that industrialist and eventual owner Griffith J. Griffith donated the property to the city to rid himself of the tainted land (the ostriches on his ostrich farm there apparently stampeded at night). The land is supposedly haunted by Don Antonio Feliz, Dona Petronilla, Griffith J. Griffith, a young girl, and several others, as well as some kind of humanoid beast. The 6,000 square foot house, with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, is located in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood, and it was built in 1924 by Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright. The house is highly unique both inside and out, with the exterior being featured in House on Haunted Hill and the interior playing the role of Deckard’s apartment in Blade Runner.

The ghosts reactivated the facility's lockdown, and while Paul, Kyle, Dr. Hammer and Desmond's team were sealed inside, Ariel was able to escape at the last second. It is unknown why the house trapped Desmond and his team inside, but it was most likely in case they succeeded in finding the Idol and took it. Evelyn Stockard-Price (Famke Janssen), a spoiled trophy wife, is in a disintegrating marriage with Steven H. Price (Geoffrey Rush), an amusement park mogul with a wicked sense of humor, each of whom would gladly kill the other. Evelyn fancies spectacular parties, and Steven leases the house from the owner, Watson Pritchett (Chris Kattan), for Evelyn's Halloween birthday bash. Evelyn gives Steven a guest list two pages long; he shreds it to spite her and then creates one of his own. Despite this, Price continues the party's theme, offering $1 million to each one who stays in the house and survives until morning, with any person not making it having his money added to the pot.

Critics Reviews

It’s always fun to imagine living inside of an iconic horror movie house, which is why we always like to report on such locations going up for grabs. The latest, brought to our attention by Variety, is the mansion from William Castle’s original House on Haunted Hill, which was actually also featured in Blade Runner. House on Haunted Hill was the first film produced by American production company Dark Castle Entertainment. Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis had discussed remaking William Castle's 1959 film as early as 1997. Director William Malone was a fan of the original film, which he had seen in his childhood, which served as the impetus for his directing. Malone and producer Dick Beebe worked on the film's screenplay for a year and a half.

The asylum's attic is located at the top of the building, and can be accessed by a flight of stairs in the lobby. There are also several switches and levers for controlling the facility's lockdown in the attic. Despite the attempts of the Idol, Vannacutt and the other ghosts to stop Ariel, she was able to drop the Idol down the drain and into the sewer, removing it from the house.

As The Darkness prepares to assimilate Eddie, he reveals that he is adopted and not a true descendant of the original staff. The Darkness is distracted by Pritchett long enough for Eddie to escape. Pritchett's ghost and The Darkness fade away as Sara and Eddie watch the sun rise. They find an envelope on a ledge, containing all five checks, made out to cash. They are relieved to have escaped and won the money but are stuck on the roof of the house, unsure of how to get down.

Knickerbocker Hotel

Leaping to the rope of the chapel bell, they swung it back and forth, tolling out the mournful message that the padre was dead. The grand old department store (now a Southwest Law School building) is supposedly haunted by a little girl who was killed in an elevator shaft. There are also the usual lights going on and off and mysterious footsteps. The 1906 Alexandria, now low-income apartments, has been both one of the fanciest joints in Downtown and a rundown flophouse. Several dancers are said to haunt the second-floor ballroom, an angry teenager hangs around Charlie Chaplin's old suite, and Rudolph Valentino apparently leaves the Knickerbocker occasionally and visits his old 12th-floor suite. The basement, which is filled with tunnels, is supposedly haunted by a couple of mobsters, at least one of whom also likes to visit the Comedy Store.

Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel

“It’s a really modern house, yet it uses ancient forms,” said Michael Wyetzner, architect at Michielli + Wyetzner Architects, in the newest episode of Blueprints, a YouTube series for AD. In the video, Wyetzner breaks down the Ennis House’s role in House on Haunted Hill, as well as the role of five other properties featured in horror films. “It doesn’t have a very domestic scale, it almost looks like it could be a museum or other type of religious building,” he said. The film was remade as the 1999 film House on Haunted Hill, which had a 2007 sequel titled Return to House on Haunted Hill. The 1999 film was released to negative reviews but was a box office success, while the 2007 sequel was direct-to-video and widely panned. Lorimar Productions released the film on VHS cassette on CBS/Fox Video's Key Video in October 1985.

This movie is featured in the following articles.

The door to this room is located near the stairs that lead up from the basement to the lobby. The desks and desk lamp in it would suggest that it was originally a study. This room is apparently where The Darkness is imprisoned, and disturbing the room will release it. The Darkness assimilated Evelyn, Pritchett and Steven, and tried to absorb Sara and Eddie as well.

The Roosevelt competes with the Knickerbocker for most celebrity hauntings. Marilyn Monroe supposedly appears in a full-length mirror from Suite 1200, where she stayed when she first started becoming famous; Montgomery Clift is said to hang out in and around room 928, where he lived while shooting From Here to Eternity. One psychic says he’s also detected Humphrey Bogart, Carmen Miranda, and Betty Grable. There’s also a cold spot in the Blossom Room (the first home of the Oscars), near where a dapperly-dressed ’30s-era man is said to hang around. Of course, the Ennis House also makes appearances in non-haunted roles—an animated version was even created for an episode of South Park.

Price, protected by a bulletproof vest and posing as dead, attacks Evelyn. As they scuffle, Evelyn is thrown through a decaying door, revealing the evil entity of the house – The Darkness. Evelyn seemingly dies in front of the others, strapped to an electroshock therapy table. Price pulls a gun on the guests, demanding to know who killed his wife.

Kyle and Desmond and his team were all killed by the ghosts one by one, while Paul, Ariel and Hammer avoided the ghosts and searched for a way out. Through visions the ghosts showed her, Ariel realized that the group needed to remove the Baphomet Idol to escape. Having been told by Ariel's visions where the Baphomet Idol was, Ariel, Paul and Hammer were able to make their way into the Heart of the House, where they found the Idol. Ariel removed it and took it to the asylum's washrooms to throw it down a drain and expel it from the house. The Silent Movie Theatre is said to be haunted by the ghosts of its first two owners. John Hampton opened the theater in 1942 and dedicated his life to preserving silent films… using toxic chemicals that eventually gave him cancer.

The gimmick this time, Emergo, had a plastic skeleton trundled out from behind the screen over the heads of the audience. Located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, Wright designed the home in the early ’20s for Charles and Mabel Ennis, owners of a local men’s clothing store. The home is one of four that makes use of Wright’s textile block system, which is constructed from precast, interlocked concrete blocks.

Eddie knocks him out and they lock Price in the "Saturation Chamber", an archaic zoetrope device that Vannacutt used to treat schizophrenics. When the others leave, he turns the chamber on, leaving Price to be tortured by the moving images and ghostly hallucinations, resulting in a seizure. In Vannacutt's office, Sara and Eddie find a portrait of the hospital's head staff and realize that the party guests are descendants of the five survivors of the 1931 fire.

You can see here the glass walls of the house and the stone base that forms a bridge over the pond. A large bedroom is located on the main level along the front of the home. The updated kitchen features a large central island, soapstone countertops, and plenty of windows. Recently listed in Los Angeles, California, this craftsman-style home lives up to the archetype. The landmarked property—originally built in 1892 for a professor who taught at Occidental College—comes with a facade made of riverbed stone and an interior filled with original woodwork. Both the structure and a streetside retaining wall were designated Cultural Monument #373 by the City of Los Angeles in 1988.

Before beginning any project, it is necessary to take a seat and calculate the project’s cost. Also, selecting the type of stone your stone house construction will hugely impact its availability, location, and preferences. Whichever type of wall you choose in your stone house construction, selecting the type of stone to use is very crucial.

Stone Wall Siding Cost

With the ongoing energy crunch, a lot of folks might object to dense stone because it’s not considered a good insulative material. But–at least in moderate climates–rock walls will actually help keep you comfortable; they slowly heat during the day, then radiate warmth through much of a cool evening. The night-chilled walls will also cool the structure’s interior well into the following day. Natural stone comes in so many shapes, sizes, colors, and textures that the final appearance of a rock house is limited only by the builder’s imagination, daring, and methodical effort. While our house was constructed rather simply to save time, money, and labor, we’ve seen veritable castles of colorful stonework all over the country.

Regardless, a stone house can be an incredibly sturdy and beautiful structure that will last for generations. Architectural stone veneer, on the other hand, is a manufactured product designed to mimic the look and texture of natural stone and is used almost exclusively as an exterior cladding. If you want to build an environmentally friendly house, garage, or barn from natural materials, this is the e-book for you. Explore the pros and cons of building with straw, logs, cordwood, earth, and local lumber.

Throughout the annals of history, stone has stood as an enduring symbol of strength and resilience when it comes to exterior stone veneer. Its timeless presence in architectural wonders, monuments, and everyday structures bears testament to its unwavering significance. From the towering pyramids of Egypt to the majestic castles of England and Continental Europe, stone has been the medium through which humanity has manifested its aspirations for permanence and security.

Some stones like onyx or gneiss based products might be better suited for interior installations only. Opting for fieldstone as the exterior cladding for your house imparts a sense of rustic charm and time-honored authenticity. Fieldstone, a type of natural stone often gathered from fields or quarried from local sources, offers a genuine and weathered aesthetic that blends seamlessly with various architectural styles.

Once you are done, install the doors and windows before working on the interiors. Opting for stone on the exterior of a home is a practical choice celebrated for its low maintenance requirements. Stone cladding is renowned for its durability and ages gracefully and while a stone exterior will require more maintenance than stucco or vinyl siding it is still considered a low maintenance material. Travertine’s most captivating feature lies in its porous surface, which gives it a unique, textured appearance. The natural pits and troughs that adorn each stone add depth and individuality to the exterior, making it an artistic statement of nature’s craftsmanship. Its soft, earthy hues of beige, cream, and ivory harmonize effortlessly with various architectural styles, from Mediterranean villas to contemporary designs.

By following this step-by-step guide, you are well on your way to creating a timeless and enduring sanctuary. Remember to consult professionals whenever necessary, and enjoy the journey of bringing your stone house dreams to life. Curating the interior, ‘sacre coeur, stone house’ by theo domini, nothing draws attention with disproportion or is overly exposed. The intrinsic beauty of graying woods, oxidized pieces, and eroded stone leads occupants into its incomplete and fragmented parts. The place is not reduced only to pleasure but to encourage users to re-examine their own notion of comfort disregarded from luxury. This is a view of the house with two stone structures that stand up due to the striped concrete design of the exterior walls complemented by the garden.

Faux stones made of polyurethane are incredibly lightweight so they are easy to transport, cut, and install. Polyurethane is highly susceptible to impact damage; even a weedwacker or baseball bat could permanently damage the materials. Two common types of faux stone veneers are polyurethane stones and vinyl veneer panels. These factors, combined with the shortened longevity of synthetic stone products, make them a tricky choice for your home’s exterior, potentially lowering your home’s resale value. As a traditional masonry style, ashlar veneer makes a home rook refined and formal. Ashlar is made up of square or rectangular stones of uniform color and texture which fit closely together.

All these considerations should be weighed before deciding whether to go ahead with building a stone house or not. Aside from the differences in materials and cost, how does natural stone compare to architectural stone veneer? For starters, natural stone can be used to construct stairs, flooring, chimneys, and solid, load bearing walls due to its high compression strength and overall durability. When used as a cladding material, natural stone offers excellent protection against the elements—due to its weight, however, it also requires increased reinforcement. There are lots of different types of natural stone and types of stone siding to consider when working on an residential exterior project.

River rocks can also be used, although these will require more maintenance than other types of stones due to their porous nature which means they absorb moisture easily. Stone walls can be used to create unique designs and architectural features, providing endless possibilities for creativity. From curved walls and outdoor fireplaces to intricate tile and masonry work, stone houses offer homeowners the ability to craft a truly one-of-a-kind home. If, on the other hand, you’re only planning on installing natural stone siding, you can expect to pay a much lower price. On average stone siding costs between $30 and $48 per square foot to install, which means you can expect to pay anywhere from $57,000 to $72,000 to side the entire exterior of an average-sized house in stone. At the Surface Shop, our goal is to create amazing natural stone veneer the way you want it.

These pieces bond to the exterior of the home using mortar and other adhesives. Because manufactured stone comes from pre-designed molds, it lacks the organic variety in shape and texture found in natural stone veneers. The composite nature of manufactured stones also means they are slightly less durable than natural stone veneers. They also require higher maintenance, since they pressure-washing may cause damage.

Fieldstone cladding is considered one of the oldest types of exterior masonry veneer because it is noted as one of the oldest construction materials used by homes along with river rocks. It is a popular option for your home’s exterior stone siding because of the advantages the material offers. For low-maintenance masonry wall veneer options, the best ones are granite slabs (for natural stones) and faux masonry panel wall veneer. Just make sure to choose the appropriate granite slab size that will fit your house exterior.

About Chase

A mortgage is a loan secured by property, usually real estate property. In essence, the lender helps the buyer pay the seller of a house, and the buyer agrees to repay the money borrowed over a period of time, usually 15 or 30 years in the U.S. A portion of the monthly payment is called the principal, which is the original amount borrowed.

Today's mortgage rates

The "principal" is the amount you borrowed and have to pay back (the loan itself), and the interest is the amount the lender charges for lending you the money. View today’s mortgage rates or calculate what you can afford with our mortgage calculator. When you're getting ready to buy or refinance a home, it's important to make a smart financial move. With a host of different mortgage calculators at your fingertips, you can quickly assess your loan options and your monthly costs so you can make an informed decision. Paying back $200,000 over the course of 30 years is going to yield a much lower monthly payment than paying that same amount back over the course of 15 years.

Terms explained

Most lenders are required to max DTI ratios at 43%, not including government-backed loan programs. But if you know you can afford it and want a higher debt load, some loan programs — known as nonqualifying or “non-QM” loans — allow higher DTI ratios. Down payment - The down payment is money you give to the home's seller. At least 20 percent down typically lets you avoid mortgage insurance. Most people use a mortgage calculator to estimate the payment on a new mortgage, but it can be used for other purposes, too.

If you pay less than 20%, lenders will expect you to pay PMI as part of your mortgage payment each month. The “taxes” portion of your mortgage payment refers to your property taxes. The amount you pay in property taxes is based on a percentage of your property value, which can change from year to year. The actual amount you pay depends on several factors including the assessed value of your home and local tax rates. Our calculator can factor in monthly, annual, or one-time extra payments.

If you don’t consider them all, you may budget for one payment, only to find out that it’s much larger than you expected. A mortgage loan term is the maximum length of time you have to repay the loan. Longer terms usually have higher rates but lower monthly payments. It is possible to pay down your loan faster than the set term by making additional monthly payments toward your principal loan balance.

What's the difference between being prequalified and preapproved?

For example, you can’t negotiate on the property taxes in your state, but you can always try to negotiate a lower price on your home. Short-term mortgages offer less protection against changing interest rates because you need to renew them more frequently. Long-term mortgages typically have higher rates but offer more protection against rising interest rates. Penalties for breaking a long-term mortgage can be higher for this type of term.

Homeowner's insurance is based on the home price, and is expressed as an annual premium. The calculator divides that total by 12 months to adjust your monthly mortgage payment. Average annual premiums usually cost less than 1% of the home price and protect your liability as the property owner and insure against hazards, loss, etc. Most home loans require at least 3% of the price of the home as a down payment. Although it's a myth that a 20% down payment is required to obtain a loan, keep in mind that the higher your down payment, the lower your monthly payment.

Is $2,000 a month too much for a mortgage?

A fixed rate is when your interest rate remains the same for your entire loan term. An adjustable rate stays the same for a predetermined length of time and then resets to a new interest rate on scheduled intervals. A 5-year ARM, for instance, offers a fixed interest rate for 5 years and then adjusts each year for the remaining length of the loan. Typically the first fixed period offers a low rate, making it beneficial if you plan to refinance or move before the first rate adjustment.

Current HELOC rates are relatively low compared to other loan options, including credit cards and personal loans. Refinancing involves replacing an existing mortgage with a new mortgage loan contract. While this usually means a different interest rate and new loan conditions, it also involves a new application, an underwriting process, and a closing, amounting to significant fees and other costs. Nonetheless, borrowers should keep in mind that banks may impose stipulations governing prepayments since they reduce a bank's earnings on a given mortgage. These conditions may consist of a penalty for prepayments, a cap on how much borrowers can pay in a lump sum form, or a minimum amount specified for prepayments. If such conditions exist, a bank will usually spell them out in the mortgage agreement.

Lenders will compare your income and debt in a figure known as your debt-to-income ratio. Your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is the percentage of gross income (before taxes are taken out) that goes toward your debt. In the early 20th century, buying a home involved saving up a large down payment.

This allows developers to easily access and apply the design tokens in their code, ensuring consistency and reducing the risk of errors.

What Are Accessible Colors?

Updating a color, a font-size or any “core style” and seeing the result in whatever platform should be effortless for them. It is memorable and easily understood by non-designers, but it is tough to memorize 50+ crazy names. A theme is a collection of token values designed to achieve a certain look or style.

Design Tokens with CSS Modules

Without a style dictionary or some other method of tracking design decisions across your organization, it’s difficult to be consistent. For example, if your company’s color palette features several shades of blue and gold, how will team members know exactly which shades to use? Instead of making people guess, you can create design tokens for each color value. When everyone is using the same HEX and RGB codes, it’s easy to produce consistent designs.

It relives the front-end dev teams to redefine the styles in CSS. Using design tokens reduces documentation for design handoffs and saves programming time for engineers. This automated system significantly reduces human error, streamlining the development and QA process. In an informative article, Design Tokens for Dummies, Louis Chenais outlines a typical design change workflow with vs. without design tokens.

Style Dictionary translates raw JSON data into a platform-specific format. It is available as a CLI through NPM, but can also be used like any normal node module if you want to extend its functionality. It can generate different output formats like variables for the common CSS preprocessors like Sass, Stylus, and Less. Now that you understand the basics, we can move on to the more sophisticated names. Complex, multi-brand design systems need many levels for naming because they need to include multiple themes.

They’ve developed a fairly simple and understandable set of token types. Within a company, a design system improves the collaboration between product teams. A common issue design and engineering teams are facing is sharing brand guidelines and interface information. What is designed should be respected during development but we all know it’s not that simple.

Alias design tokens

They’ll demystify design tokens and give you real-world strategies to start building them into your design systems practice. These changes could take days or weeks to propagate as you sift through each application, find every variant of a single button, and have development correct each of them, one-by-one. Using token tiers can expand the capabilities of your system in an impactful way, but it’s vital to understand the purpose of each tier and the trade-offs when introducing a new layer of tokens to the system.

Creating a Design System. Part 2— Design system based on tokens.

ABB’s new design system was a major success, due in part to the use of platform-agnostic design tokens to save key design decisions. Sial also notes that the product team’s focus on documentation makes it possible for team members to see each component’s entire life cycle, increasing transparency. The most advanced plugin for taking care of your design tokens. You save time and have more control over your designs, when implementing design tokens. Instead of using hard codes like color hex codes or pixel sizes, we give them names. These names, or 'tokens', store design details in a simple, easy-to-read way.

The term “design token” can be traced back to somewhere around 2014, when Salesforce began talking about its “single source of truth” for design. Design tokens are central and tiny pieces of UI information to store design related information such as colors, fonts, spaces, animations, etc... Their benefits is that they can be transformed and formatted to meet the needs of any platform (Android, iOS, Web, etc…). Shadow tokens with multiple levelsDefine multiple shadows as in Figma and easily connect them with other styles. ➡️ Below you can find a design system checklist Figma template with the list of design tokens. Space tokens reduce decision making and allow for consistent spacing between elements in a page layout.

They're like the building blocks of your design language, making sure your brand looks the same across all platforms. Semantic tokens are not strictly necessary at this stage as it’s expected that the design language is still being developed, and therefore quite volatile. At Zeta, the way such visual styles are applied is by leveraging the three-tier tokens structure. The mapping between the component and the alias tokens remains the same, therefore the component style files don’t need to be updated. Design tokens are a way to easily identify and understand the elements in a design system. As more designers and companies adopt use of design tokens, their value will continue to grow.

You’ll be able to create your own token names and store custom design decisions, saving your product design team an untold number of hours. This use case demonstrates the many benefits of using design tokens and creating custom design systems. While reviewing his team’s workflow, Sial also made an important discovery. At the beginning of the project, he would only get developers involved when he had something to show them. He quickly realized that the product design team could be more effective if developers provided their input right from the beginning.

For example, Android uses octal color codes instead of HEX or RGB. To adapt a design system to accommodate Android, the DS team can add octal codes to each design token to maintain a single source of truth. Atomic design and design tokens are both concepts used in design systems, but they address different aspects of design consistency and scalability. Design tokens are an important part of a design system because they are universal and understandable. The create organization for your brand and products that can scale. If you want to get into the guts of JSON files and how to code design tokens, CSS-Tricks and U.S.

Product designers are often expected to increase their output without a significant increase in costs, making effective collaboration a must for organizations of all sizes. Design systems make it possible to save time, increase transparency, and collaborate effectively with employees at all levels of an organization. Discover the benefits of design tokens and how to get started with design tokens. Base variables are the primitive values in a design language, represented by context-agnostic names. These can be directly used, and are inherited by all other token types (think “purple-500”). The designer is now able to can change a style and trigger a build on Github.

New colors and other values won’t be visible until each product officially releases their changes when after testing is complete. The chrome plugin allows you to view the latest tokens behind the scenes during testing. Design systems are getting a lot of attention these days — and with good reason.

They turn visual values for a variety of elements into context-based values that use nicknames for greater understanding and deployment. With design tokens, you can capture low-level values and then use them to create the styles for your product or app. You can maintain a scalable and consistent visual system for UI development. In simple terms, design tokens store all the design decisions made by a product team. Each token is as specific as possible to ensure everyone has the same information.

What about changing the spacing between titles and paragraphs or all the gaps between cards? In Figma, you must change values hand by hand (even if you use auto-layout). With the plugin, you can edit the token, or add a new one, apply it, and that’s it.

What are some advantages of building with stone?

In any case, constructing a home with solid stone walls will always be the most expensive option. Depending on the type of stone used, materials cost between $25 and $80 per square foot and labor costs range between $15 and $30 per square foot of material. Generally speaking a structural stone home will cost well over $300,000 to build if materials are bought and installed by professional stonemasons. Limestone, sandstone, quartzite, and granite are often used as large blocks or bricks to construct walls, though they can also be used as siding.

When planning out how long it will take to build your stone house, there are a few things to consider. First, the amount of labor that is needed and how long it will take workers to complete each task. It must be obtained, cut to size, and then transported onto the site where it can be laid. All of these factors should be taken into account when estimating a time frame for completion. Stone walls require significantly less maintenance than other materials like wood or brick, meaning they remain strong and stable with minimal upkeep over time.

This type features either authentic and natural stone or manufactured ones used as solid siding for the home’s structure. Many homeowners love using these stones as a construction material for their homes. There are many options when it comes to exterior stone siding, from carved natural stone to vinyl siding panels. Whether you want full stone siding, wainscotting, or just stone accents on the exterior of your home, consider the cost and quality of each option carefully. Yes, stone houses are very strong due to the natural strength of the material. Stone is a dense material that will not easily bend or break under pressure and it is also very resistant to weathering.

While mostly used for masonrysiding, it may also be used for wall cladding if you need to. The cost of building a stone house will depend on the size, style and design of the house, as well as the price of materials and labor required. Generally speaking, building a stone house can be more expensive than constructing traditional timber frame houses but the increased durability may make up for the initial cost in time.

So if you have enough budget in your hands, treat this more as an investment that you can enjoy for a lifetime – that’s how long most natural masonry sidings last. If you choose natural brick masonry wall veneer, you can benefit from its durability and timeless aesthetics. It can also help lower utility bills by assisting in insulating the structure. The downside though is that the installation cost may be high and the mortar is expected to wear over time. Water damage and issues are also prominent and weather elements can affect the bricks over time. More than just the materials used, the types of masonry sidings to consider, and the costs that come with them, you may also want to skim through some ideas worth checking out.

This is the reason why it’s important to take into account your house design before making a final choice on the masonrywall veneer you’ll install on your home’s exterior. If you have a limited budget, natural masonry wall cladding may be out of your reach. However, there are still manufactured and faux masonry sidings you can consider that may not be authentic stones but feature similar aesthetics at an affordable price.

Good building stone can be found most anywhere, usually free for the gathering. We built our 1,100-square-foot home with 18 pickup loads of free boulders, most of which were gathered from a single field about a mile from our construction site. The rancher who owned the land was delighted to have his field cleared of “all them blankety-blank, machinery-bustin’ rocks.” Similar rancher/farmer/ landowner situations exist all over the country. You can lay tree branches across the roof, going one direction, and fill in the gaps with mortar.

One of the ways you can add stacked stone siding to the exterior of your home is to transform it into an accent wall, whether you install it in the chimney, on the columns, or even around the front door. The dimensions are more installation-friendly and they have seamless look that makes your home’s exterior look cleaner and smooth. This siding can also imitate the look of stunning natural stones but also takes out other challenges you may experience if you choose the authentic version like its weight and expensive cost.

These characteristics have made it one of the most commonly used construction materials for centuries. Sandstone exteriors usually feature on Craftsman, Victorian, and Southwest home styles. For the most high-end appearance and enduring quality, natural stone is the best choice for the exterior of your home. In addition to complicated installation, mining, producing, and transporting natural stone exteriors make them the most expensive option we’ll review. Building a stone house requires careful planning, craftsmanship, and patience.

They also come in a variety of colors and textures, allowing for creative design options that can be tailored to individual tastes. Stone houses have become increasingly popular due to their attractive appearance and lasting quality. Well-built stone homes typically last upwards of 100 years, according to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. There are, however, certain environmental factors that can prematurely reduce the structural integrity of stone houses, especially if the masonry isn’t properly maintained. Building with stone is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive activity that requires expert working knowledge of the material itself. As such, stone houses are typically built by highly skilled stonemasons rather than teams of contractors, which can drastically increase both the overall construction time and costs.

Stone siding panels can either be natural or manufactured and they include thin sheets of stones you can install on the exterior of your home. In updating the exterior of your home using stone sidings, there are several choices that are worth exploring. You can cover the entire exterior wall of your home, half of its facade, or choose an accent wall to focus on. Sandstone is the ideal option for homeowners who want to customize the siding of their home’s exterior to the appearance they want it to have. In customizing sandstone, you can make it into any pattern you wish for the stone to have. And since this type of stone is reflective, the tones and shades of the colors may change as the sun moves along the sky throughout the day.

Regarding natural stone options, onyx, marble, and slate can be more expensive than other authentic stone options. Natural stone siding is considerably more expensive than manufactured ones. Manufactured or faux stone siding panels are significantly lighter and more durable than their authentic counterpart.

A conservative or comfortable DTI ratio is usually considered to be anywhere from 1% to 26%, if you only include mortgage debt. A $2,000 per month mortgage payment represents a 26% DTI if you earn $92,400 per year. To decide if you can afford a house payment, you should analyze your budget.

Then, follow the 12 steps below to estimate your monthly mortgage payment and review home loan options. The down payment isn't the only thing you'll need cash for at closing. Closing costs include lender fees, the cost of your appraisal, things you need to prepay like homeowners insurance, and other costs related to the mortgage and the home purchase. Once you calculate M (monthly mortgage payment), you can add in the monthly property tax and homeowners insurance payment. A 30-year mortgage will have the lowest monthly payment amount but usually carries the highest interest rate—which means you’ll pay much more over the life of the loan. Use the mortgage calculator to get an estimate of your monthly mortgage payments.

A higher down payment may qualify you for a lower interest rate. If your down payment equals less than 20% of the home price, you may have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI). As of November 2022, the average mortgage payment in California was $3,605, according to Koloans.com. This is based on current mortgage rates, a 20% down payment and California’s average home price index. Based on current rates, an average mortgage payment on a $300,000 house might be between $1,800 and $1,900 per month, not including taxes or insurance.

How Much Do You Need For A Down Payment To Buy A House?

In general, for a 30-year fixed loan, you will have the lowest monthly payment but the highest interest rate. However, with a 15-year fixed, you’ll have a higher payment, but will pay less interest and build equity and pay off the loan faster. The longer the term of your loan — say 30 years instead of 15 — the lower your monthly payment but the more interest you’ll pay. Determining what your monthly house payment will be is an important part of figuring out how much house you can afford. That monthly payment is likely to be the biggest part of your cost of living. Mortgage interest is the cost you pay your lender each year to borrow their money, expressed as a percentage rate.

An FHA loan is government-backed, insured by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA loans have looser requirements around credit scores and allow for low down payments. An FHA loan will come with mandatory mortgage insurance for the life of the loan. Under such agreements, two parties exchange cash flows with each other. The lending bank will swap the variable payments it may make to service a mortgage (which is fixed to the SONIA rate) for payments at a fixed rate.

Loan amount - If you're getting a mortgage to buy a new home, you can find this number by subtracting your down payment from the home's price. If you're refinancing, this number will be the outstanding balance on your mortgage. Conforming loans have maximum loan amounts that are set by the government and conform to other rules set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the companies that provide backing for conforming loans.

To calculate your DTI ratio, divide your ongoing monthly debt payments by your monthly income. As a general rule, to qualify for a mortgage, your DTI ratio should not exceed 36% of your gross monthly income. Lenders typically require you to purchase homeowners insurance when you have a mortgage. For example, if you live in a flood zone or a state that’s regularly impacted by hurricanes, you may be required to buy additional coverage that protects your home in the event of a flood. If you live near a forest area, additional hazard insurance may be required to protect against wildfires.

His father, Aldo, had given 10% of his 50% stake in the company to his three sons, allocating 3.3% to each of them. When Paolo aligned his interest with Maurizio’s 50%, he tipped the scales to begin the process that ultimately led to the family no longer owning the company. In 1993, after Maurizio sold his 50% interest in Gucci to the same investment firm he had brought in to buy up his relatives’ shares, there would no longer be anyone from the Gucci family involved in running Gucci. He was murdered on the steps of his office building in Milan on March 27, 1995. It was likely Aldo Gucci who began the story that the family was descended from noble saddlemakers to the medieval courts, when his father and company founder Guccio Gucci actually began his career working at the Savoy Hotel in London before opening a small shop in his native Florence, Italy. Several paparazzi photos have emerged from the set of House of Gucci, and it's safe to say that viewers will be dazzled with retro fashion and incredible performances.

Paola Franchi (Camille Cottin)

He initially strongly disapproved of Maurizio's marriage to Patrizia, although he was eventually somewhat won over by his daughter-in-law. Maurizio Gucci became chairman of the family business in 1983 following his uncle Aldo Gucci’s ousting due to his tax-evasion charges and his father Rodolfo Gucci’s death. During his tenure, he helped spearhead the brand’s relaunch as it had started losing its luster due to its association with cheaper goods.

The film earned a nomination at the 94th Academy Awards for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. In the family’s fight to control the company, Paolo Gucci was fired from the business twice, once by his father and the second by his uncle Rodolfo Gucci. In 1986, Aldo Gucci pleaded guilty to tax-evasion charges in the U.S. and paid more than $7 million to the government. He also admitted to diverting profits from the company in the U.S. to dummy companies abroad and was sentenced to one year in prison for his crime.

He later sold his final shares in the Gucci company in 1987, despite not having been involved in the business since 1980. In the movie, Patrizia calls psychic Pina Auriemma one night after seeing her on television. According to Forden’s book, the two actually met at a health spa in Ischia when Patrizia was there with Maurizio, and the two women became fast friends. Having been convicted for her role in securing the assassins who would kill Maurizio, Auriemma was sentenced to 25 years in prison. The film focuses on the story of Maurizio Gucci and his wife, Patrizia, as her ambitions to be part of a world of extreme wealth and power lead her to orchestrate his 1995 murder. Played by Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, Patrizia and Maurizio are part of a constellation of characters in the movie, which also includes Maurizio’s father, Rodolfo (Jeremy Irons), his uncle Aldo (Al Pacino) and cousin Paolo (Jared Leto), among others.

The other main reason why this is one of my most anticipated 2021 movies is the Oscar darlings in the House of Gucci cast (also including Jared Leto), whose greatest accomplishments in the acting world and beyond we will summarize for you below. An Italian interior designer, Franchi's affair with Maurizio Gucci was one of the reasons for his divorce with Patrizia, with whom Maurizio was at that stage sharing an unhappy marriage. Leto has achieved success both as a musician (as frontman of the band 30 Seconds to Mars) and as an actor, with film roles having included the likes of Fight Club, Panic Room and Blade Runner 2049. He previously won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his turn in 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club, while he played the Joker in the critically panned Suicide Squad in 2016. The cast for the true-crime melodrama is especially star-studded – even by Sir Ridley Scott's standards.

Lady Gaga plays Patrizia Reggiani

Patrizia Reggiani, daughter of a truck transport company owner, first meets Maurizio at a mutual connection’s party at a night club. Once she realizes who Maurizio is, she instantly wants to spend more time with him. They end up getting married despite Rodolfo’s ultimatum that he would cut Maurizio from his will because he thought Patrizia only wanted to marry Maurizio for his money.

Camille Cottin plays Paola Franchi

Over the years, his marriage to Patrizia Reggiani became a turbulent one, and after he announced that he planned to divorce her, she eventually became determined to engineer his downfall. Aldo Gucci is Maurizio’s uncle, or Rodolfo’s brother, and another one of Guccio’s sons. Aldo is a keen businessman who loves building Gucci as a brand and family business.

Art Director

In 1989, he teamed with Bahrain-based investment and asset management company Investcorp to help with Gucci’s revitalization. This marked one of the first private equity deals in the fashion industry and set the precedent for other design houses going forward. Maurizio Gucci, the son of Rodolfo Gucci and grandson of design house founder Guccio Gucci, was the last of the Gucci family to run the business. He joined his uncle, Aldo Gucci, in New York in 1972 as his uncle was pioneering the brand’s presence in the U.S. market through its store at the Savoy Plaza Hotel. The oldest son of company founder Guccio Gucci, it was Aldo Gucci who oversaw the brand‘s rise to international heights, becoming a status symbol of wealth and luxury. Aldo wove a complex web of companies, subsidiaries and franchises to license out the Gucci name for other products besides its signature leather goods, creating a vast engine for profits.

Everything to Know About Your New Favorite Lady Gaga Movie, House of Gucci

The Fargo actor plays the current chairman of Tom Ford International, Domenico De Sole, who was previously the president and CEO of Gucci Group. The Watchmen actor plays Rodolfo Gucci, who was an Italian actor and the father of Maurizio Gucci. The Morbius actor plays Paolo Gucci, the cousin of Maurizio Gucci and the grandson of Gucci founder Guccio Gucci. Patrizia attempts a reconciliation with Maurizio, but he flatly ignores her. Later, he asks her for a divorce through his long-time assistant Domenico De Sole, which she flatly refuses.

Ridley Scott regained control in 2019 and Lady Gaga was confirmed as Patrizia in November 2019, then in April 2020, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer acquired the rights to the film. Jared Leto, Al Pacino, Jack Huston, Reeve Carney and Adam Driver eventually boarded the ensemble, and the rest is history. The Romanian actress plays Sophia Loren, an Italian actress who often wore Gucci.

After The Last Duel, House of Gucci is Ridley Scott’s second fact-based film released in 2021 to star Adam Driver, who plays Maurizio Gucci - who was killed in 1995 by a hitman hired by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani. A fierce Lady Gaga leads the pack in an uneven performance, portraying Patrizia Reggiani—an assertive young woman from limited means who falls in love with and marries Maurizio Gucci (a disproportionately subdued Adam Driver), the dreamboat scion of the fashion house. When Patrizia gets rejected by shy Maurizio’s traditional and haughty father Rodolfo (Jeremy Irons)—he quietly shames Patrizia’s lack of cultural finesse—she finds a welcome ally in Uncle Aldo (Al Pacino).

Additionally, you’ll see how to use design tokens within JS framework components, allowing for dynamic theming and rapid prototyping. ReactJS is selected as the demo framework, however most observed practices will apply to other frameworks as long as they rely on JSX and CSS. In this example, the design token represents three colors for a user interface. “colorPrimary” is a shade of blue, “colorSecondary” is a shade of red, and “colorBackground” is a light gray.

Therefore, he started including developers in launch meetings, enhancing collaboration. Even if you’re already using CSS and Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets (SASS), there’s still room for improvement when it comes to efficiency. If you want to enjoy the benefits of using design tokens, you’ll need to learn design systems and create a custom design system for your organization.

Design tokens are an integral part of any design system because they make the transformation of a design into a product easier for both designers and developers. As a product designer, you can use design tokens to create a style guide that defines a brand or product’s design guidelines and standards. This can help ensure consistency across all design and development efforts.

If teams need to add platform-specific properties, they simply update the design token. Design tokens are most beneficial for creating a single source of truth–which is what drove Salesforce to start using them. Everyone must speak the same design language when multiple product teams, engineers, and UX designers work on the same product. Designers should use design tokens to create more consistent implementation of work when it goes to development. Tokens also help manage and maintain design decisions through deployment and ensure that every instance of the design is consistent. Design tokens make the language between designers, developers, and product engineers a little bit easier to understand.

There also exists a DesignToken.unregisterRoot() method to remove default custom properties from a root. Once the value is set for a node, the value is available to use for that node or any descendent node. The value returned will be the value set for the nearest ancestor (or the element itself). A default value can be set for a token so that the default value is returned from getValueFor() in cases where no other token value is found for a node tree. The type assertion informs what types the token can be set to (and what type will be retrieved), and the name parameter will serve as the CSS Custom Property name (more on that later).

And at Zeta’s DS for web enterprise products, we’ve embraced the power of design tokens since its inception. Merge components have the same fidelity and functionality as those in the repository.

Design tokens increase efficiency, promote collaboration, and ensure a high level of consistency, making them an excellent tool for organizations of all sizes. Design tokens make it easy to keep consistent design values across different platforms and applications. They also make it possible to quickly create new designs by using existing components. Design tokens help designers and developers communicate more effectively, and make it easier to tweak designs without having to resort to hard-coding values. Design (or color) tokens are fundamental to creating a design system. Designers can ensure consistency and efficiency across multiple projects by defining a set of design tokens for colors, typography, spacing, and other visual properties.

It's crucial to select tools that best fit your team's workflow and the platforms you're designing for. Each tool comes with its own set of features, so it's important to understand what each offers and how it can benefit your design process. The idea of design tokens started with Salesforce’s Design System in 2014. Now, they're the smallest but most important part of any design system.

Currently only Sketch could do that as it exports its data in JSON. Later, you can connect these decisions with others and create a theme. Using design tokens makes it very easy to scale design and use the same foundations on all platforms (Web, iOS, Android). Design tokens can be managed and distributed with the help of various tools and technologies.

But it also generates an XML version for Android or a JSON version for iOS (which you don’t get by using only the Figma Tokens plugin). Usually, teams spend a lot of brain power finding the perfect logic. You can find inspiration in other open design systems, but that doesn’t mean it will work for you. I recommend a workshop to find the most optimal structure for your use case. This makes it easy to grow your design and keep it consistent across all platforms, like Web, iOS, and Android.

Tokens can be exported as JSON and transformed into other types of files too. Design tokens were created by the Salesforce design system team. You can use design tokens to represent anything in the visual design such as colors, typography, effects, and more. They allow you to scale changes—you can change the value of the $primary design token from #FF6358 to #28B4C8, and all components that have the $primary color will be affected. If you use local values instead of design tokens, such changes will be extremely time-consuming. Designers use design tokens to define elements like colors, typography, spacing, and other visual properties throughout a user interface.

It must use a predictable naming convention so users can easily find tokens and scale the system. UI consistency is a significant challenge when designing at scale. It’s not uncommon for designers to accidentally use slightly different sizing, brand colors, and spacing for a single product! These inconsistencies cause usability issues, increasing engineering and UX debt with every release. Atomic design is a methodology for creating design systems developed by Brad Frost.

Lundy also suggested multiple resources, like the EWG, to help determine whether you need a water filter. She also helped us wade through some of the jargon surrounding water filter branding to find a pool of products that are certified safe. Active carbon filters are rated to last for either a certain number of months or gallons (whichever comes first) and we’ve noted the threshold for each product. The filter cartridge lasts for about 6 months to a year, depending on the average amount of daily water used in the home. When it’s time to change the filter, users don’t need to unscrew the filter; instead, they’ll just pull the locking latch upward, turn it a quarter-turn to the left, then pull down.

Finally, the water will be filtered once more, sometimes with reverse osmosis, so that the water is clean. While looking for the best whole house water filter for your home, consider what you’re looking to remove from your water. Though this filtration system is designed to remove iron and manganese from your water supply, it will not be effective in catching lead. If you test your water and find that there is a presence of lead, you may want to choose a different filter.

One of the biggest considerations you’ll need to make is whether you want to install a point of entry or point of use water filter. Once you know what your water contains, you’ll be able to narrow down your water purification and filtration options based on what you want to remove. The source water you’re treating will determine the type(s) of water filter(s) that are suitable for you. Knowing the source water chemistry being treated is essential to applying the correct solution. UV disinfection is the process of destroying microorganisms in water using ultraviolet light. UV disinfection units may be installed at a home’s point of entry to eliminate pathogens and germs before they enter the home’s water system.

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Breathing it in can cause lung inflammation and coughing, and it can burn your eyes or skin. If you had a filter that required pot perm, you would need to manually add it at least once a month, exposing you to its risks. The SpringWell WS1 uses an improved form of greensand that does not require pot perm and instead can be maintained with regular water. If it’s hard now, it’s going to be forever, so the last thing you want is a softener that winds up in a landfill before the next census.

Sediment filters are designed to remove large sediment particles from a home’s water supply. They’re commonly used as a pre-filter stage for whole house water filter systems, such as carbon tank filters and cartridge-based filters. The most common type of whole-house filtration system is a activated carbon filter. They are typically installed at the main water line coming into your home.

When calcium and magnesium ions are removed, the laws of science dictate other ions must go back into the water, which is why sodium is added. There’s no other way around it and it’s how all salt-based, ion-exchange softeners work. How much salt gets added depends on how hard your water is, but even very hard water (15 gpg) only ends up with about 30 mg of sodium in an eight-ounce glass.

You'll need to maintain the system within this time to help extend its lifespan. This includes replacing the filter cartridges or media as outlined in your user manual. Wondering how we selected the water filtration systems that are featured in this guide? Below, we’ve discussed our methodology, including the factors we considered when deciding.

They’ll all try to convince you that their products are more capable than any other product on the market. Before you buy a filter, ask yourself what impressed you most with a filter, and how the filter is any better than the others you’ve been looking at. Before buying a filter, check to see what type of installation is required – and whether it’ll be possible to install the filter yourself. For this reason, you want the job of changing the filters to be as easy as possible, so the whole process takes a matter of seconds.

This is the first step in the purification process in multi-stage filtration systems. These filters mechanically separate out solids by passing the water through a fine-mesh media and sending the clearer water to your faucet or the next filtering stage. Filters that can capture sizes down to around five microns effectively eliminate cloudiness in the water. NSF/ANSI certified, this Express whole house water filter is pretty easy to use and has the power needed for bigger households. With a 15-gallon per minute flow rate, there shouldn’t be a noticeable reduction in water pressure. Customers suggest using silicone grease when installing new filters to get a tight fit and prevent any leaks.

As a salt-based softener, the SpringWell SS1 does add a small amount of sodium into your water. The SpringWell SS1 earned the #1 spot on my ranking for a hard water solution because it delivers on its promise and softens water no matter how hard it is. It’s one thing to make an effective filter, but it’s another to make something that won’t become a liability in the future. SpringWell went a different route than everyone else by building something that will last rather than something cheap that’s just going to break in a few years.

Depending on the type of KDF whole house water filter, the media can remove heavy metals, iron, hydrogen sulfide, and chlorine. KDF is commonly used alongside activated carbon media to improve the overall filtration process, and in water softeners to boost efficiency. A whole-house filtration system provides enhanced water quality for better tasting and smelling drinking water, and prevents harmful minerals and toxins from polluting your cleaning and drinking water supply. Selections for the best options available depended upon the type, flow rate, filtration, compatibility with household water systems, the longevity of the filter’s cartridges, and ease of installation.

The filter system comes with one basic filter but the brand’s Plus filter is compatible. It still filters 71 contaminants but adds minerals—mainly limestone—back into your water to enhance taste. There’s virtually no leaking or dripping but you must be sure it’s screwed onto the sink properly or else it will shoot off when you turn on your water. Pitchers, dispensers, and faucet systems will alert you when it’s time to change out the filter, typically via a blinking LED light. Our Best Under-Sink pick will beep, but you may want to set a reminder instead so you don’t miss it as it’ll only alert you once and you may not hear it.
