Reàl Decking from Gossen
Gossen Real Decking aims to offer the beauty of exotic hardwoods with the benefits of cellular PVC. Unique patterns are engineered to create a virtually nonrepeating woodgrain that mimics nature, but it’s lighter weight and easier to install than actual Ipe. Gossen’s premium finishing technology is designed to keep its color rich and surface beautiful with no annual oil treatments. The high-performance material is designed to not rot, warp, split, cup, decay or become food for insects. www.gossencorp.com
Strong-Wall® SB Shearwall from Simpson Strong-Tie
The Strong-Wall SB Shearwall is engineered to provide greater lateral-force resistance for a broad range of residential and multifamily applications, including garage portals and large openings. The wall is available in dimensions ranging from 12″x7′ to 24″x20′ for standard, portal, two-story stacked, balloon-framing and rake-wall applications. Unlike other prefabricated walls, the SB shearwall is field-trimmable for custom applications and rake walls. It also is designed to easily fasten to headers with convenient drill zones and a chase for wiring. www.strongtie.com
