They replace 250 watt metal halide fixtures one-for-one, with a 70 percent reduction in energy and maintenance costs. The BAYLED78 is ideal for warehouses, supermarkets, auditoriums and gymnasiums. The AISLED78 distributes light uniformly across the vertical face of racks in an aisle, making it easier to read box faces on shelving. www.rabweb.com Seal It Up Shurtape has given contractors another option in a water-based, solvent-free housewrap tape designed for residential and commercial projects, from sealing seams and joints on housewrap to insulation and vapor barrier materials to prevent air infiltration. It can even be used in HVAC applications in tight spaces. www.shurtape.com Hot Dipped Nails The nail: A small yet mighty part of construction. But are they all the same? Paslode enlisted an independent testing facility to compare the corrosion resilience and structural integrity of its Hot Dipped Galvanized Framing Nails alongside several other top-selling nails. In testing corrosion rates, Paslode says its nails proved superior, with competitors’ nails rusting 200 hours earlier. www.paslode.com Quiet Ride Breaking new ground in elevator technology, ThyssenKrupp Elevator Americas is offering its “Geared to Gearless” model that recently won the 2012 product innovation award from Architectural Products magazine. It boasts quicker (and quieter) floor-to-floor travel time, reuses energy and costs less to operate. www.thyssenkruppelevator.com 66 | Building industry | January 2013 http://www.milwaukeetool.com http://www.shurtape.com http://www.rabweb.com http://www.paslode.com http://www.thyssenkruppelevator.com
