Monarch Technologies is launching MonaDeck, a patent-pending new line of ultra-durable composite decking developed for the residential market. Planks resemble century-old barnwood and are produced in 12-inch widths—an industry first—and are Class-A fire-rated. The decking system incorporates a proprietary biobased resin system to bind recycled FSC-certified wood fiber and bamboo fiber in a sustainable, wood-simulating composite that has a hardness rating that rivals ipe.

Feeney has introduced Stainless Steel Picket Kits for CableRail in wood frames. Leveraging the sleek appearance and durability of stainless steel, the picket kits preserve an open railing aesthetic, while maintaining cable spacing and minimizing deflection. The kits include everything needed to quickly install intermediate pickets, including sockets/sleeves, shoulder nuts, hanger bolts, and screws. Each kit’s 5/8” diameter 316 stainless steel tubes come pre-drilled for 1/8” diameter cable at 3” spacing. The tubes can be used on frames with or without a bottom rail, are field-trimmable (using a stainless steel pipe cutter), and have no visible fasteners. [www.feeneyinc.com]
