  • Enhancing the Benefits of Prefinished Siding
  • ebuild (10/21/2009)
  • Prefinishers of exterior siding recognize the benefit of factory-finished siding, and the ways it can help builders speed construction schedules and reduce project costs and callbacks. Now, with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Advanced Machine Finish, prefinishers can help builders recognize those benefits, too.
  • Foam-Based Sealant
  • ebuild (10/19/2009)
  • The maker now offers a foam-based sealant to complement its fiberglass batts. Used as part of the company's EnergyComplete system, the foam sealant closes joints and cracks, while the fiberglass provides the rest of the insulation. This system approach results in less air leakage and more energy efficiency, the manufacturer states. 800-438-7465.
  • Floor Finish
  • ebuild (7/14/2009)
  • Providing the same rich, hand-rubbed finish as its original product, new Waterlox Green Label 275 VOC formula meets regulatory restrictions for VOCs. Made of 90 percent renewable natural resources, including tung oil, the floor finish resists moisture, dirt, common household products, and daily wear and tear. Because of the natural Old World appearance, the finish is ideal for flooring restoration and refinishing projects, as well as on premium hardwood floors. Waterlox tung oil finishes penetrate into wood, making scratches and wear less noticeable than with urethanes that remain on the surface, the maker says. 800-321-0377.
