Wren Cabin Kit

Little birds can find shelter from the elements in this new wren cabin from American Bird Equipment Co. The cabin, a kit for d-i-yers, comes complete with precut natural wood, nails, screws, and instructions and building tips.

The 4" x 6" x 12" structure can be built with simple hand tools such as a hammer, screwdriver, drill, tape measure and pencil in a few hours. It weighs about 3 lbs.

Type H flashing, replacing Type U flashing, is said not only to be easier to install, but a better protection from water penetration.

Improvements include a lengthened lead sill flashing with a corrugated pleated design to allow greater ease of forming over high profile roofing materials and a side flashing gutter piece, incorporating four check points against water penetration.

An Eclectic Design Choice

A new cabinet door design which is said to offer style flexibility ranging from country to contemporary art deco is from St. Charles Manufacturing Co.

The country style is available in seven ash finishes with matching ash wood moulding, while the contemporary styles are offered in a variety of laminate colors, complemented by three painted molding finishes. The laminate panels also come in solid matte, high gloss or textured surfaces.

Two new venting skylights for residential use built with special polymer components for thermal insulation and durability have been introduced by Wasco Products, Inc.

Features of the new venting units are a self-flashing curb and framing made of Permatherm, a proprietary polymer developed for Wasco. This material reportedly insulates better, lasts longer, and requires less maintenance than wood or aluminum.

While this vinyl compound is said to be costlier than either wood or aluminum, it reportedly allows for designs and features not offered in units made of other materials.

A flexible and extendable light shaft that bridges the attic space between skylighted roof opening and room ceiling opening is new from Kenergy Corp.

Eliminating the most tedious and time,/cost consuming part of skylight installations, Skyflex installation time is reportedly l0 minutes.

Both flex shaft packages include ceiling trim moulding. The high reflective silver shaft also includes a prismatic lens (diffuser) that slides into the trim moulding.

A new line of polyisocyanurate roof insulation products said to handle most roofing needs is now being marketed by Temple-Eastex Inc.

The three types of products are reportedly designed to offer high thermal efficiency, dimensional stability and exceptional compressive and peel strengths.
