Slip-free Stainrays

Traction Tread stair nosings from Zero International are said to provide ample traction even when wet, high durability to withstand heavy foot tfaffic and attractiveness to coordinate with virtually any stairway material.

Racks lift up easily for wall cleaning. Each includes a paper towel dispenser, saucepan lid holder and two loose hooks for hanging utensils. A holder for smaller utensils and additional loose hooks are available sepa- rately. Mounting hardware is included.

Lightweight Building Blocks

A new interlocking mortarless building block has been designed by Featherlite, Inc. to replace traditiondl concrete blocks.

Stair nosings with plain grooves reportedly provide insufficient traction and can trap dirt and water. The new system features profiled grooves fitted with specially fonnulated rubber inserts for a neat, non-slip footing. And it's easy to keep clean because it has no exposed grooves.

The blocks reportedly provide structural support equal to that of concrete blocks, yet require one quarter the time to construct and provide neady double the insulation.

They are made of expanded polyurethane foam and molded into a tongue-and-groove design, resulting in consistent 8" x 8" x 16",12 oz. blocks that easily s[ack, interlock and selfalign without mortar.
