Beauty Under Foot

A new collection of vinyl tiles with Sure-Stik adhesive backing for do-ityourself installation, Stylglo from Tarkett comes in four patterns and I I colorings.

Beau Rivage features a vine motif in a central diamond design on a neutral almond background. Patio Mosaic offers a tile mosaic look in a square pattern. The Chimney Door design is alternating bricks, while Nordic Quarry recreates the random stone look of architectural pavers.

The 12" x 12 " tiles are protected by a Brite-Bond urethane surface coating for easy care. They are stain and fade resistant and asbestos free.

Less ls More

A new high performance insulating glass that reportedly gives two panes of glass greater insulating power than three has been introduced by Andersen Corp.

A microscopically thin metallic coating, bonded to the outer surface of the inner pane of the double glazing, becomes part of the glass and is protected by being inside the air space between the two panes.

The transparent coating serves as a barrier to the outward flow of radiant heat from inside the house. The 3390 lighter glass is said to offer a thermal performance 140/o greater than triple pane insulating glass.

Weather Seal Of Approval

A new perimeter weather seal from Stanley for the top and sides of a garage door features a rigid vinyl base, or mounting strip, and two flexible vinyl fins.

While the base fastens to the frame of the garage door, one of the flexible fins presses against the door panel to seal out air and dust. The second fin under the base seals between the base and the frame.

The fins are said not to interfere with the opening and closing of the door. The perimeter seal, available in two sizes to fit 9' and 16' doors. comes in brown and white finishes.

Resistant Roofing

A new wood fiber roofing substrate from United Gypsum Co. is designed to provide a moisture-resistant underlayment for all major membrane systems: ballasted, adhered and mechanically anchored.

Special additives give it water-resistant qualities to help reduce wicking. An asphalt coating also serves as a moisture barrier. The single-ply roofing system is said to be easy to install and durable.

Flashy Finish

Gillespie has introduced a complete line of wood floor finishes includins six woodtone stain colors plus a decl orator white and a variety of floor finishes.

Finishing products available include a penetrating seal and stain; a final finish in colors to match, a fast dry sealer, polyurethane and Swedish finishes for a satin or high gloss, renovator and paste wax.
