EconomyCabinet Line
Kitchen Kompact has announced a new economy-priced line of kitchen cabinets, K Wood, to be available to builders, distributors and dealers this fall.
The line is said to be an answer to the growing interest in holding down building and remodeling costs. A genuine all-wood cabinet, with a red oak veneer face and back and a handwiped stain finish, it features beveled edges for opening doors and drawers, eliminating the need for door pulls.

Self-closing hinges, and adjustable shelves are used in all wall cabinets.
Foam Out Air Loss
Touch 'n Seal, a polyurethane foam product for construction sealing applications, is new from Convenience Products, Inc.
Unlike caulking materials or other sealants which are solid, heavy and non-insulating, it expands to form an outer skin. Closed air cells provide a barrier against energy loss. The product is non-solvent. Since it will never shrink, dry or harden, it reportedly never pulls away from material to which it is bonded.
The product is packaged in a pressurized container. An extension adapter allows applications in difficult to reach areas.
Want to Buya Duct?
The Nautilus line of convertible range hoods has features which allow the dealer to stock one model, rather than both ducted and ductfree versions. The hoods can be converted from ducted to ductfree in three steps.
Designed for do-it-yourself instalIation, they are available in the full range of popular appliance colors.

Cone Head Bits
Malco Products now offers versatile Unibits in three convenient sizes for drilling hole sizes from l/8" to l" in sheet metal and other thin materials without deforming stock or threading drill bit.
Designed for applications beyond the scope of conventional twist drills, they can be used as a "holeopening" reamer, or for making round holes from slots, intersecting holes and hole deburring.
The conical shape is graduated in steps up to l/8" thickness. By counting the number of step penetrations and stopping at that count, the exact hole diameter can be determined. Made of industrial grade high speed steel, they are heat treated and tempered for strength and long use. They also can be resharpened.
Two sizes feature a unique single flute design which reportedly eliminates skidding and the need for center punching when starting a hole from solid material. The single flute design also is said to help eliminate chatter and vibration, and assure penetration of softer materials at the proper speed.

Garage Door Sealer
A new one-piece energy saving garage door sealer, designed to replace wooden stops and weather stripping, is available from Weather Stop Co.
Applicable for both commercial and residential garages, it is constructed of heavy plastic with a lVz" flexible, friction-free flap that forms an airtight seal against the door and jamb when closed. It can be installed with either glue adhesive or nails provided by the manufacturer.
Materials are available in various lengths with 30 pieces to each carton, or pre-packaged in plastic bags for either 9x7 or l6x7 garage door openings. Nails, glue and installation instructions are included.
Styrene Catch Basin
The Jiff-E-Basin is a new, advanced-design injection-molded high-impact styrene catch basin system available from Pacific Specialties Co.

Eliminating the need for masonry catch basins, it is said to be lighter and stronger than cast iron, with design features not available in other prefabricated catch basins.
It has hub, rather than spigot, outlets which eliminate the need for couplings. Regular sewer/drain or corrugated pipe may be inserted directly into the outlets.
Available in four configurations, it has an insert reducer available for both regular sewer/drain pipe and corrugated pipe.
Do-lt-Yourself Vanity
A ready-to-assemble (RTA) vanity for the do-it-yourselfer is available from Perma-Bilt Industries.
Inspired by European technology, each vanity also can be stocked and sold factory assembled. Oak and other hardwoods create a furniture appearance. Woods are stained then hand rubbed at the factory.
Tolerances reportedly have been engineered with .5mm standards. Component parts are precisely milled and drilled for do-it-yourself assembly. Some hardware is factory installed, and all parts are tested for alignment before shipping.
Among other advantages are damage-reducing packaging and replaceable component construction. As many as six vanity kits can be stocked in the same space needed for one assembled unit.
If a drawer front is gouged or a
The Merchanl Magazine structural piece broken, a replacement piece can be ordered.
Seven styles, two contemporary and five traditional, introduce the new line in available widths of 24, 30, 36, 48 and 60 in. Units of same or differing sizes can be positioned side by side for wider installations. Matching tri-view medicine cabinets, conventional medicine cabinets and wall-hung storage units are available factory assembled.

Crystal Look-a-Like
Crystacrylic, distributed through Crystacrylic Designs Corp., is a new concept in glazing materials available in several sizes and designs.
Made of Acrivue, a gemJike clear acrylic, the product has physical characteristics, including a hard sur- face coating, which give it practicality and security for use in doors, windows, skylites, room dividers, decorative screens and other architectural designs.
