Llghl A Candle

Designed for lasting use, Create A Candle has been introduced for home decoration by Wonderwick.

The high-tech patented design product consists of a reusable wick, standard and 3 l/2 oz. starter supply of refined wax beads. for 20-25 hours of flame.

The candle is clean, odorless, dripless and sootless burning. An adjustable flame length burns in a fixed position without becoming short. The user chooses the container.

Entrance Scene

A new folding door from Western Tirrnings and Stair Co. can be expanded to fit doorways from 2' lo 8' by adding separately packaged addon panels.

Complete Wallpapering Kit

Wallpapering is reportedly made easier for d-i-yers by using a new wallcovering kit from Hyde Tools.

The seven piece kit contains a roller, five single edge razor blades, a razor knife, a plumb bob kit, a smooth brush, a paste brush and a triangle trim guide. Instructions are included in the kit which comes boxed or skin-packed.

RealWood Veneer Panels

A new 7/16'thick paneling is being introduced by Georgia-Pacific.

The product has real wood face veneers available in six species of oak, fir and pine. Rich tones and prominent grain patterns characterize their appearance.

Because of the thickness, the panels are said to be sturdier than most panels. They can be installed directly to studs for either residential or commercial applications.

Classic Wood Columns

Wood columns by E. A. Nord Co. can be used in such customary functions as porch or portico supports and embellishments, or in collonades. They can also be used in offices and homes.

The columns, made from seasoned western hemlock or Douglas fir, are available plain or fluted, and come in lengths from 8 to 20 ft. All parts, including matching capitals and bases, are sealed to help prevent moisture penetration and to help provide better paint adhesion.

A custom program offers doors up to 8 ft high to span up to 20 ft, singly or in pairs, double-ended or multiple-meeting, with heavy dutY hardware and custom accessories.

Features include extruded aluminum metal tracks, heavy duty metal latches, solid core door Panels, machined door panels, woodgrain finishes and color matched hardwood handles.

The RailThing

Adjustable, pre-assembled railings from Morgan Products can be used by a do-it-yourselfer for new home construction or as replacements during remodeling.

The system comes with starting, landing and intermediate newels, straight rail sections, and sloped rail sections that adjust to fit stair inclines of 33 to 4O degrees.

Useful either as stair railings or room dividers, the wooden railings can be stained. varnished or oainted.

Big Time Hood

A new wooden hood kit from Broan is designed for custom wood kitchen cabinet installations.

The fire retardant full-metal insert. which slides into a wooden cover, adapts to custom hoods up to 42" wide.

The kit features a squirrel cage blower with infinite speed control, energy-efficient cooktop lighting and a Heat Sentry, which automatically turns the blower to high speed when excess cooking heat is detected.

An Easy Rule To Follow

A new Stanley Powerlock rule provides a 16'-3A'blade with the feature of reading measurements through a window in the top of the rule case.

The top-read feature is used for inside measurements-the width of a doorway, the interior of a cabinet or bookcase. For laying out predetermined measurements, the desired measurement can be pre-set in the rule window and held with the blade lock. The marking edge along the back of the rule can then be used to mark the measurement.

The blade, which has dual markings that can be read left to right or right to left, is protected by DuPont Mylar. It is also available with metric measurements.

Brush-on Waterproof ing

A new waterproofing membrane package designed specifically for use on vertical surfaces such as gypsum wallboard. cement backer board and plywood has been introduced by Laticrete International.

The product is said to prevent water from seeping through cracks and penetrating to backer panels, avoiding costly replacement or repair.

The membrane, which is cold applied with a paint brush or roller, is for use in bathrooms. kitchens and showers.

The waterproofing mini-unit contains one gallon of paste and a roll of rot-proof, fiberglass fabric for covering vertical cracks and joints. It will waterproof up to 120 sq. ft.

New Door Glass Coating

Heating and air conditioning costs can reportedly be decreased when using terrace doors, patio doors and casement windows by Marvin Windows. They now use Low-E, thin, metallic coating applied to the glass and sealed within the dead air space of the insulating glass unit.

The coating is said to be virtually invisible so it can offer a natural. trueto-life view of the outdoors and provide a conventional glass appearance to the exterior.

The new film. which is said to allow light to pass through to brighten the interior, reduces glare and lowers lighting costs. The company claims the film is effective in filtering out much of the sun's ultraviolet rays, helping to control fading of drapes, carpets and furniture.

Double Clean Sink

A large soaking/cleaning bowl and a smaller compartment designed to receive a waste disposer are combined in a self-rimmed stainless steel sink from Elkay.

Cathedral windows can be added to any Colonial garage door style from Wayne-Dalton Corp.

These wood panel doors are made from hemlock or Douglas fir. Because the stile and rail door components are dip-treated prior to manufacturing, the company offers a two-year limited warranty against dry rot on the wood, rails and stiles.

The hotdipped galvanized steel hardware reportedly protects against corrosion and helps in smooth operation.

Light Up Four Ways

New dimensions in creative lighting are possible with four new products introduced by Vista Manufacturing.

Iftystal-Lite is a low voltage tube lighting system that can be inlaid in floors, stairways, aisles or transition areas for accent or safety. The square or round tubing can be bent to conform to irregular or curved surfaces, mounted in plastic or aluminum channels or inlaid using no mounting hardware, depending on the desired effect.

Chandel-Lite chandeliers and light curtains use clear, one-halfinch sealed acrylic light tubes. Alternate tubes, containing no bulbs, function as sparkle reflectors.

Versa-Lite is a flexible PVC tube that houses energycfficient bulbs and can be bent or twisted without damage. The tube is held by an aluminum channel.

Flex-Lite is a round, totally flexible light which can be curved or bent at sharp angles, even tied in a knot. It will conform to any shape or can be sculpted to form its own shape.

All of these Vista lighting systems are versatile enough to be adapted to home application.
