			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Franchises Now Open in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan </strong></em></p>
<p><strong>VICTORIA, British Columbia, May 20, 2010</strong> – Frames N Panes, the home-based mobile franchise bringing its revolutionary new repair process to home and business owners, enabling them to restore, instead of replace, window frames, panes and screens, today announced that it has sold its 14th territory, which includes Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and Regina, Saskatchewan. The company has experienced rapid growth across western Canada, including Alberta and British Columbia, since selling its first franchise, located in Medicine Hat, Alberta in July of 2009.</p>
<p>“The reason for our rapid expansion is because we provide unique, affordable and convenient solutions for PVC window frame repair, dual-pane moisture removal, and screen and scratch repair, that eliminate the need for customers to remove their windows,” said Cory Kohlman, president and founder of Frames N Panes. “We are mobile, so all of our restoration and repair services are done at the customer’s location, quickly, cost-effectively and correctly the first time.”</p>
<p>Frames N Panes repairs almost any type of PVC frame damage, whether it’s a small brad nail hole, cigarette burn, surface scratch, router mark, hammer hole or from hail, and returns it to factory condition. For dual-pane windows, the company has developed a new technology for moisture removal that significantly reduces healing time. Frames N Panes can also perform a test on the window even if there is no visible moisture, to prevent problems from occurring. Window screens are repaired on site, and Frames N Panes now offers a scratch removal system that can be used on all types of glass, as well as on acrylic, polyester and polycast.</p>
<p>“We look forward to continuing to expand our franchises across Canada, as well as in the U.S.,” Kohlman said. “We are looking for franchisees who are aggressive, hungry for success, strong leaders, results-oriented and excited about long-term sustained growth. Our goal is to create a powerful brand while helping our franchise team members achieve success.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got the idea for my company back in 2005, when I purchased a company based out of Calgary, Alberta, which specialized in the repair of leather and vinyl in the automotive and furniture markets. After a major hail storm blew through Medicine Hat, wreaking widespread damage, an insurance adjuster called me. He wanted to know if I could repair vinyl window frames, because it cost thousands of dollars to replace even a small 2-foot by 3-foot frame. I didn’t have an immediate answer, but was soon able to find one that worked.</p>
<p>Over the next few years, I continued to refine the materials I used, working with different manufacturers to develop products that could withstand all types of weather extremes, from our harsh Canadian winters to the sultry heat of Florida and the rainy climate of the Pacific Northwest, as well as the specialized tools that I used in my process. Then in 2008, I began repairing and restoring vinyl frames full time, and was constantly receiving requests for Frames N Panes services throughout Canada. That was when I decided to franchise, which I believe is the best way not only to grow my business, but to enable others to own their own business as well. There are currently 12 Frames N Panes franchises throughout Canada, and one in the U.S., and we are poised to continue our growth across North America.</p>
<p>All Frames N Panes products, processes and tools are proprietary. No one can buy our materials or tools over-the-counter, and this is the cornerstone of the Frames N Panes concept. What we offer is truly unique, and I have not stopped trying to develop even more reliable, durable and cost-effective materials, tools and processes. I am also always working to expand the range of services Frames N Panes offers, and will soon be telling you about our new scratch removal technology that can be used on glass, acrylic and plastic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is Solar pumping?</strong><br />
Solar pumping naturally occurs during the change from day to night. Sunlight heats the inner airspace of the IGU (insulated Glass Unit) during the day and causes the window to pressurize, which forces out small amounts of air within the window cavity through the semi-permeable seal. In the evening, as the temperature drops, the window cools and creates a low pressure area causing small amounts of air to be drawn back into the inner window cavity. The air being drawn back into the window naturally holds moisture and this moisture is absorbed by the windows desiccant material.</p>
