Up, Up, and Away Shell

The new MicroMate, a combination microwave shelf and range hood, is from Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. Designed to eliminate the problem of microwave ovens taking up counter space, it takes the appliance off the counter and puts it over the range with range hood features. The unit may be decorated with matching wood mouldings, cabinet doors or vinyl wall coverings. Stovetop lighting is provided by a standard 20-watt fluorescent tube. Controls are flush-mounted.

The MicroMate has a dual centrifugal blower, capable of delivering 300 cu. ft. of air per minute. Solidstate memory controls allow the user to pre-set the infinite-speed slide control so that the blower automatically returns to the desired speed when turned on.

The Broan Heat Sentry detects excess range heat and automatically turns the blower to high speed to protect the heat-sensitive microwave from possible damage. When the temperature returns to normal, it automatically shuts the blower off or returns it to its original setting.

The range hood can be installed ductfree or ducted to the outside. It has twin, dishwasher-safe aluminum filters or, in ductfree installations, twin activated charcoal filters.

Passive Solar Door

The Atrium Door, an all wood swinging patio door system, is now available in 8' tall units for passive solar use.

With approximately l39o more glass area in the door to permit increased sunlight penetration in passive solar applications, they are available in a variety of combinations of swinging door and fixed coordinate panels as well as single door units and coordinate units.

Constructed of all natural woods, the frame, jambs and headers are built of edge-glued ponderosa pine. The sill is of edge-glued red oak.

The doors are hung on five commercial grade hinges. A heavy duty tubular extruded aluminum screen rolls on stainless steel ball-bearing rollers top and bottom.

Each door comes complete with installed weather-stripping, aluminum screen, dead bolt/lever system and keys and all necessary hardware. Removable wooden grills are optional.

Quick Fire

Meeco Manufacturing has introduced a new Red Devil Firestarter in a box of 24 cubes.

Excellent for lighting stoves, fireplaces, charcoal grills, and campfires, it is non-toxic, odorless and tasteless.

Fireplace Concentrates Heat

Preway Inc. has introduced the new Super Energy Mizero built-in wood burning fireplace with concentrated heat flow system.

Key to the new capability is the speciiUy designed Ener-Jet-iir" heat path which works in conjunction with the basic heat circulation system. This warms room air in a sealed chamber allowing air to travel to sides and back of fireplace, up over the warmed dome, and out to the room.

Additional new features designed to assist in improving heat flow are horizontal heat flow louvers and heat directors.

Almost For Real

Macklanburg-Duncan Co. is introducing an imitation wood shelf made of a warp-proof pressed wood core and a stain-proof vinyl cover.

The vinyl finishes of the pecan and walnut styles are developed and manufactured by duplicating photographs of real wood. The wood pattern does not repeat itself on any of the various lengths and widths of che boards.

Decorato;'s Touch shelves come in white, pecan and walnut in three standard widths, 8", 10", and 12", and four lengths.

Draft Dodgers

The Draft-Tamer, said to have been developed as a result of workers complaining about the draft created by ceiling fans from M-Squared Electronics, Inc., is a unique ceiling fan controller.

It automatically lowers fan speed with decreasing ceiling air temperature. The controller eliminates worker wind chill discomfort and attaches to existing fans in minutes.

Solid Color Wood Finish

Solid color exterior wood finish is the newest addition to the Minwax Co.'s line of exterior products.

Unlike paint, which creates a rigid surface film that can blister and separate from the wood, it is said to become an integral, breathing part of the wood, subduing the wood grain while enhancing its natural texture. Containing both a water repellent and a fungicide, the finish also protects the wood by sealing out moisture and resisting mildew and other discolorations.

Available in eight colors, it is for both rough and smooth siding, trim, beams and fencing, and can be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer.

Registered with the EPA, it is oilbased and available in I and 5 gal. containers.

Genuine marble particles are combined with polymers and fiberglass and spun into colonial columns of true entasis taper. No splitting, rotting or termites ever! Stock sizes from 6" x 8 ft. to 12" x 16ft. Custom sizes and fluting also available.
