(CSRwire) TOLEDO, OHIO - The design producers on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" have added another famous face to the show - The Pink Panther. Already a star on the big screen and the corporate mascot of Owens Corning, the panther also graces product packaging of the company which has been selected as a preferred provider of key building materials for the show. Some of the Owens Corning products viewers will see featured throughout the highly-rated show's second season include PINK FIBERGLAS® insulation, roofing shingles, Cultured Stone® manufactured stone veneer, vinyl siding, Basement Finishing Systems, QuietZone® residential noise control products and HOMExperts Life of the Home® services.

"For 65 years, our products have delivered on our corporate purpose of delivering solutions, transforming markets and enhancing lives, by making homes warmer, dryer, more energy efficient and more beautiful," said Dave Brown, CEO of Owens Corning. "To take that purpose another step forward by working with a show that does so much good and is causing such an outburst of charitable giving, is something our company and our employees are proud to do."

The premise of the show is to rebuild a deserving family's home to meet its unique needs, and in doing so change the lives of not only the families it helps, but of entire communities who pull together during the course of the projects.
