Doors On Display

An entry door merchandising system has been developed by Cole Sewell to showcase its new California Door.

The unit includes a simulated entrv door mounted behind the Californii Door, plus a sill and brick molding.

The California Door features a solid core sandwiched between an aluminum skin, improving durability over standard hollow aluminum screen doors.

Undercover Wood

A polymer-covered wood product line offering the structural integrity and beauty of newly painted lumber without the usual periodic maintenance is new from TimberClad Technologies.

The unique manufacturing process, utilizing a cross-head extrusion die, extrudes linear low density polyethylene over kiln-dried pine lumber of various dimensions.

TimberClad never needs painting and, when installed per the manufac- turer's instructions, carries a 10 year warranty against fading, splitting, peeling and cracking. A special ultraviolet inhibitor adds years of weather resistance to the already durable, chemically resistant polyethylene.

It is ideal for post and board fencing and other applications requiring an attractive, durable wood product. Stock sizes are 2x6xl6 and 4x4x8. Other lengths and 1x6 and 2x6 dimensions are available by special order.

It provides the look of bricks without the mess and expense of cement foundations and footings. The ultrastrong plastic material reportedly won't crack or chip due to wear or bding nailed.

The system is based upon a fullsized interlocking brick, but accepts both a ready-made interlocking topgap-bn_ck and a ready-made half-cap brick. Sturdy, attractive fences, flowel planters, interior accents and fence and sidewalk borders snap together, with no special skills required on most installations.

LSL Rim Board

The first structural building product using TimberStrand iaminat6cf strand lumber made ftom aspen has been introduced by Trus Joist MacMillan.

For use with the Silent Floor System, TimberStrand LSL rim board replaces 3/4" plywood, the material most commonly used as rim board. It uses 8' long aspen logs from which thin strands up to 12" long are cut. These strands are then bonded with high performance adhesive in a unique steam injection process that densifies the wood to produce huge billes.

It is available in a standard thickness of l-114" and in depths matching Silent Floor joists. The rim board is ripped to precise tolerances at tle manufacturing plant, eliminating field cutting plywood for rim board.

Other claimed advantages: replaces a multitude of possible rim details with a single detail for virtually all applications, speeds installation with is long lengths, comes in a solid section for a continuous, solid backing for attachment of exterior siding and decks, requires no additional filler, and enables accurate and effective nailing of floor sheathing to the rim, which increases the system's resistance to wind and earthquake loads.

Instant Stone Walkways

Reformulated Wood Filler

A new, environmentally safe formulation of the popular Famowood wood filler family has been inroduced by Beverly Manufacturing.

Solvent-Free Wood Putty is designed to meet VOC and environmental regulations while still filling the tions. Also ideal for home use, its water-based formula is environmentally safe, non-flamnable, low in odor and non-toxic.

Designed for small defects and open grain in wood, the filler is easy to use with excellent handling properties. It spreads evenly and smoothly, filling any voids in the wood completely with a minimum of shrinkage; offers excellent adhesion; dries fast; sands quickly and easily to a smooth surface without plugging the sandpaper; blends with the grain; cleans easily with water prior to drying, and can be stained with conventional oils and stains.

Because of is unique properties, it doesn't remove the prdprinted ink from the surface being filled. There are no abnasives to scratch the printed surface and no solvents to remove the ink.

It comes in 1/4 pints, pints, gallons, 5 gallon pails and drums. Its six standard colors, white, natural, fr/maple, oak, walnut and birch, will blend in with virtually any wood, moulding or paneling.
