Decking Stoins

The rise of wood decking brings with it a need for a decking finish that is durable and decorative, that will stand up to the particular problems of heavy foot traffic and severe weathering.

Cabot's decking stains have been especially developed for wood decking, at minimum cost, with minimum upkeep. Decking stains are available in nine colors.

Steel's strength gives rigidity to siding panels and permits the bridge between bulges and curves of existing house exteriors in clean, trim lines. The baked-on acrylie and PVC finishes of Mirafinish steel siding is guaranteed for 20 years.

Painting is not needed and a rinse with a garden hose keeps it clean. Mirafinish acts as additional insulation. Steel siding economy is further reduced by minimizing repair bills on exteriors. Available in 4 colors and wood grain style through dealers.

Releose Quickly

I-P blackform coated plywood concrete forms, manufactured by Long-Bell, release from concrete quickly, easily and cleanly. A slight pull usually is all that's necessary to separate the form from the concrete. Often the form will fall from its own weight when bracing is removed.

Especially for decking

They are suitable for all types of wood, for new surfaces as well as previously stained surfaces. Stains stand up to weather, are alcohol-proof and detergent-proof, resist cracking, peeling, or blistering. These stains will not rub ofr under extremes of weather and climate.

Cabot's stains are available in quarts and gallons.

Reploces Wood

A wood compound for replacement of rotted wood is resistant to mold, dampness, contraction and expansion. It adheres to practically every type of base, including wood, brick, cement, steel and glass, and can be sawed, planed and painted.

Comolete kit

A product of a Dutch firm, the material is based on two component resins which are packed and sold separately. Intended primarily as a replacement for corroded wood, it can also be used to fill holes, wide cracks and seams.

Before the repair work can begin, the rotted part of the wooden structure must be removed completely, leaving only the sound wood. The new compound is absorbed by the contact surfaces with the sound wood, producing very strong adhesion.

The product comes in packages of 12 bags of wood compound, 12 bottles of the setting agent, 12 pairs of disposable plastic gloves, a cleaning agent and a plastic pail. Each bag of compound and bottle of setting agent are sufficient for an area of 15 cu. in.

Founloins Add To Office

Two self-contained fountains by Rain Jet add to the Spanish decor of this corporate headquarters foyer.

Fountains are a frequent focal point in the Moorish castles and plazas of Spain. Present-day fountain planners can provide a rotating colored display of myriad water droplets, a veritable "shower of diamonds."

Each member of the white fir beam is selected and identified for modulus of elasticity (E) and extreme fiber in bending (f) values.

These pieces are then laminated into a finished beam using the Potlatch exclusive electro-lam@ system. Thus the user receives a beam which is marked with accurate strength values. It can be employed in applications best suited to its strength ratings.

A "shower of diamonds"

Two-tier "Bursting Stars" models (no. 8252-2-3L) have been mounted in a spe- cial enclosure of dark brown and black tlle. No plumbing was needed. Each fountain is operated separately by a 110-volt electric switch on the base of the enclosure. Each fountain bowl is 52" in diameter. The fountain spray is 38" to 42" in height. A wire mesh screen across the top of the bowl assures that the water falling back remains in the bowl and doesn't splash on the tile floor. Lighting is provided by three, 200-watt underwater sealed beam lamps with amber lenses.
