CrystalRail from Regal Ideas
Regal Ideasā€™ new CrystalRail is marketed as the only frameless glass railing system on the market. Designed to be DIY friendly, the system is constructed with 10mm tempered glass panels with no posts and no top or bottom rails.

ForceField
ForceField Air and Water Barrier Panels from GP
Georgia-Pacificā€™s ForceField Air and Water Barrier is designed to keep potentially harmful water out of a structure during construction, and for the life of the building.

Suitable for residential or light commercial applications, ForceField panels are available in 7/16 CAT thickness, and sizes of 4×8, 4×9, and 4×10. ForceField comes with a lifetime limited warranty for the homeowner and a two-year pre-installation warranty for the builder. www.gpforcefield.com

DeckWise Altitudes Pedesta System
DeckWiseĀ® Altitudes Pedestalā„¢ System
The new DeckWise system for elevating 24″ x 24″ hardwood deck tiles has been developed to build horizontal decking over underutilized spaces such as sloped rooftops and plaza areas. Pedestals will elevate 24″-square modular hardwood deck tiles over cracked concrete or walkways to build patio areas into more attractive, functional spaces. The Altitudes Pedestalā„¢ system enables contractors or homeowners to easily and quickly build an elevated all-natural hardwood deck surface. Build over sloping or uneven substratesā€”over pipes, cables, drains, or service ductsā€”without the need to construct expensive supporting sub-structures of sleepers/joists. Pedestals utilize a self-leveling swivel head with slope compensation from 0 to 5%. A screw-jack base is said to make final adjustments effortless for level deck tile surfaces. Schedule 40 PVC pipe (up to 24″ at maximum safe height) allows for each pedestal to support live loads up to 1,200 lbs. www.deckwise.com
