Energy.Minded Garage Door
Wayne-Dalton' s new Thermowayne 34 garage door has an insulation system which contains a solid polyurethane core sandwiched between steel skins with integral struts. A U-shaped door bottom seal keeps out the air and tongue-in-groove sealing between sections forms an additional air barrier.
Non-corrosive rollers assure quiet and smooth operation, while impactresistant polymer hinges are durable. The embossed, pebble-finish flush outer surface is covered with a bakedon white prime coat, ready for final painting to complement the color scheme of the buyer's home.
Optional windows and automatic openings are also available. Doors come in 8, 9 and 16 ft widths and heights of either 6Vz or 7 ft, in extension spring installation only.
All Weather Nailing
New hot-dipped galvanized nails from Duo-Fast Corp. are qualified and certified by the National Forest Products Association.
Designed for All Weather Wood Foundation Systems, they are said to be resistant to corrosion and harder than stainless steel when used with pressure treated wood.

In addition, they can be used with power-driven fastening tools.
Insulating Foam Panels
Champion International Corporation has designed a new foam insulation product, ThermoWall, which is a non-structural sheathing panel of extruded polystyrene foam suitable for new construction as well as remodeling projects.
The rigid foam panel is lightweight and reportedly easy to install, with high insulating and moisture resistance prop€rties. It can be used for exterior sidewall sheathing, perimeter foundation, and underlayment for gypsum wallboard on interior walls and ceilings. With tongue-in-groove edges to minimize air filtration through seams, it does not require reflective air space and foil facing to maintain a high R-value.
The product is available in 2' x 8', 4'x 8', and 4'x 9'in 3/r and, l" thicknesses.
Clear, Cool Water
AMF Cuno Consumer Products has two new types of "two high" filters for its Aqua-Pure home water filter line.
The filters, which remove dirt and rust and are available with either an opaque or transparent housing, can be purchased with an optional "Valve-in-Head" which shuts water off for easy cartridge replacement.
Reportedly eliminating the taste and odor of chlorine as well as musty, stale and metallic tastes from drinking water, both filters meet the demand for water filtration without restricting flow rates. They feature plastic housings.

The Reynolds Screenhouse is a new do-it-yourself aluminum structure from Reynolds Metals Company. Designed as an outdoor leisure living space, it reportedly can be assembled in 20 to 30 minutes.
The aluminum frame with a bakedon enamel finish and the fiberglass screen panels are built to resist corrosion. The roof is said to cut out about 8590 of the sun's ultra-violet rays, keeping the space cool even in direct sunlight.
The enclosure comes in three styles: a round l0' or 12'4" diameter model, a square I I '7 " model, and a rectangular version measuring l2'l0' x8 '6 ". Their height is 6 ft at the walls and approximately 8 ft at the center.
