A next-generation solution for formaldehyde-free finishing, F3 products are catalyzed technologies that offer the same performance and appearance of conventional technologies without the concern of formaldehyde. The F3 line of Sher-Wood® products includes high-build pre-catalyzed lacquers, pigmented primers and topcoats conversion varnishes, and sealers, and all products drop right into your current process without the need for new equipment or any process changes.

WACO: ArmorCore® Bullet Resistant Material Increasing numbers of homeowners are seeking protective environments within their residences and discovering the unique benefits of ArmorCore® fiberglass panels. Manufactured to meet the stringent ASTM “Forced Entry Protection” standards, ArmorCore® bullet resistant panels are an ideal choice for residential safe rooms, providing protection from a wide range of firearms and cutting tools. Above-ground protective structure storm shelters constructed with ArmorCore® panels can provide critical protection from the primary danger of tornados: debris picked up by strong winds with enough force to perforate even masonry walls. Test results of ArmorCore® Level 3 panels by the Wind Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University indicated that the fiberglass panels can withstand a 15 lb. 2X4 wood board cannon fired at 100 miles per hour – a force consistent with a “large missile” typical of an EF-5 tornado. To learn more about why ArmorCore® panels are the preferred defensive architecture product for government facilities, commercial buildings and residences, visit armorcore.com. EAGLE MOULDINGS: New Aluminum Trim Eagle Mouldings introduces a new custom aluminum architectural trim with a satin anodized outside corner with a clean look that is designed to be used with 3/4” wall panels. Based on what millwork and display customers were requesting, this trim has an outside corner with two exposed 1/4” legs and a 1/4” x 1/4” notch in the center. Eagle has also designed an accompanying architectural “J” trim that is used in combination with the new outside corner. This trim is used as a top/bottom cap for the panels as well as an inside corner. The “J” trim comes in a matching satin anodized finish and has the matching exposed 1/4” leg. See this and all Eagle’s architectural trims at eaglealuminum.com under Architectural & Display Fixtures. Orders are shipped the same day coast to coast from our central warehouse in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Eagle has been providing specialty and custom aluminum trims and extrusions to the architectural woodworking industry as well as the store fixture and display industries for almost 25 years. If it can be extruded, we can deliver it. MONARCH METAL: Web Tool Monarch Metal has launched a web tool to help customers choose the right Monarch Z Clip for their hanging application. The Monarch Z Clip Selector Tool asks the user to input the environment of the project (indoor / outdoor), the clearance between the top of the panel and the finished ceiling, the material and thickness of the panel and the substrate of the mounting surface. The tool then returns a recommendation of which Monarch Z Clip to use, what screw to use with the panel clips on the rear side of the panel and what screw to use for the continuous lengths along the wall. In addition, the Monarch Z Clip Selector Tool gives load bearing information related to the third party shear testing that Monarch recently conducted on its panel hanging system.
