Product Picks from the Editors of ebuild 1. WOLMANIZED L3:
While many consumers like the concept of green building, they don’t want the wood for their decks to be tinted green by preservatives. Wolmanized L3 wood retains its natural color after treatment. Plus, the preservative includes no copper, making the wood easier on saw blades. The product is only for out-of-ground use, such as deck platforms and railings, and door and window molding and trim. For more information, call Arch Treatment Technologies at 770-801-6600 or visit www.wolmanizedwoodl3.com. 2. MIRRORSCAPES:
This line of mirror frames offers nearly idiot-proof installation, the company claims, noting that a contractor can put up a 4-foot-by-6-foot frame in less than 15 minutes. No angled miter cuts are needed, cutting errors can be covered up with decorative corner frame pieces, and templates make it easy to align adhesive mounting brackets. Choose from five styles plus both metallic and wood finishes. For more information, call Creative Specialties International at 800-321-8809 or visit www.csi.moen.com.
3. QUIETROCK DENSARMOR PLUS 528 DRYWALL:
QuietRock DensArmor Plus 528 paperless drywall combines the soundproofing qualities of Quiet Solution’s QuietRock panels with the low-emissions and moisture-, mold-, fire-, and abuse-resistance properties of GP’s DensArmor Plus. The companies say one 5/8-inch panel on a wood stud wall reduces sound transmission by 75 percent versus other interior wall systems.
