Pac-Bor'* lumber for Sill & Plate

Proven. Tested. Inspected.

How can Pac-BorrM lumber simplify your life? According to dealers, Pac-BorrM lumber and pl5nrvood has the best yardability of all waterborne treated woods. And since two inch or less Pac-BorrM lumber and plSruvood achieves near IOOTo penetrat'ion, there is no need for field. treatment of saum ends. Workers also need take no more precautions than they would when handling untreated lumber. The active in€redients are not listed under California's Prop. 65, so consumer warningfs are unnecessary. And every char$e of Pac-BorrM lumber and pl5nrvood is certified by an independent inspection company as havin€l reached penetration and retention standards. Please call Pacific Wood Preserving at 8O5-855-O4eg (Calif.) or 5aO-466-78OI (Arizona) for a brochure and complete information packet.

Concrete Makes Hardcore Doors

Do you think you've seen it all when it comes to doorsvinyl, wood, aluminum. How about concrete?

You just may see concrete doors on the market within two years if two North Carolina State University architecture professors can engineer lightweight concrete doors constructed with special reinforcement material.

Combining textile and construction technologies with architectural design, Christos Saccopoulous and Frank Harmon have created four prototype doors with a hinged plywood form that uses 3D fabrics to reinforce the concrete. The doors hang on a vertical mechanism.

Although the first door weighed more than 300 lbs. and the second door, made of a lighter-weight aggregate, weighed less than 200 lbs., Saccopoulous and Harmon believe the door's weight can be reduced.

PRACTICAL CONCRETE DOORS mav be available within the next two years if professors Frank Harmon (left) and Christos Saccopoulous (right) successlully can combine lightweight aggregates, reinlorcement material and georiretry to bring these prototype doors lo a marketable weight.
