EverNew® LT Cellular PVC Decking with Lumenite™ from CertainTeed
Consisting of a solid cellular PVC core, EverNew LT is designed to emulate the look and feel of wood with all the advantages of a wood alternative. Available in six colors, which include Jatoba, Spanish Cedar, Greystone, Dune, Saddle and Sequoia, it is engineered to never need painting or staining, will not splinter, warp or rot, and is highly resistant to wood-boring insects. Adding to the product’s appeal is its patent-pending, fusionbonded Lumenite surface technology, which is said to create a shield of protection from mold, stains and fading. The Lumenite surface is also solar-reflective, making it cool to the touch, even on hot days. The product is backed by a 25-year Stain and Fade Resistance Warranty, as well as CertainTeed’s lifetime, limited performance warranty. www.Certainteed.com
STORMGUARD® Nails from Maze Nails
Maze STORMGUARD Nails are dipped twice in molten zinc, which results in a thick coating of zinc for maximum corrosion-resistance. According to the company, hot-dipping nails in molten zinc is acknowledged by most authorities as the best way to apply a heavy uniform coating to nails. All Maze STORMGUARD Nails are said to meet or exceed the ASTM A-153 specification for hot-dip galvanizing. Maze STORMGUARD nails are wellsuited for decking, siding, trim and roofing—or anywhere that rust would be unsightly. In addition to the poor aesthetics, rusty nails eventually deteriorate, which can cause structural failure. Like all of Maze’s products, STORMGUARD nails are manufactured in the U.S. www.mazenails.com or 800.435.5949
