LP BurnGuard FRT (Fire-Retardant-Treated) OSB is an OSB solution with the fire-retardant blended with the strands for protection through the thickness of the panel for consistent performance. LP BurnGuard meets extended (30-minute) ASTM E84 requirements and installs like regular OSB, so construction timelines aren’t affected. This innovation is first commercialized fire-retardant-treated OSB certified to meet the IBC and IRC definition of fire-retardant-treated (FRT) wood structural panels “by other means during manufacture,” including the code-required 1/8˝cut gap. LP BurnGuard FRT OSB is approved for the same uses as FRT plywood in exterior walls of Type III construction, nonbearing partitions and nonbearing exterior walls of Type I and II construction, subfloor sheathing, and other interior applications where FRT wood sheathing is permitted by code.

Meet the world's first structural ventilated rainscreen furring strip made from laminated veneer lumber (LVL). This Australian innovation is engineered for ventilation, drainage, and strength. HighFlow structural LVL furring strips create a continuous ventilation and drainage path top-to-bottom behind siding, protecting framing from condensation and mold while assisting in meeting modern energy efficiency requirements. This structural rainscreen solution replaces plastic spacers and non-structural furring with an engineered timber core strong enough to fix siding directly to the batten — no need to hit studs beneath. Each LVL strip carries the load of cladding independently, streamlining installation, saving valuable time, while maintaining a fully ventilated, drained rainscreen cavity.

While most streetlight systems still consist of pole-mounted fixtures connected by underground wires to the local grid, built and maintained by local utility companies at relatively high cost, Streetleaf is different. Streetleaf solar streetlights are off-grid and combine modern LED assemblies, monocrystalline solar panels, and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, says it can deliver its solutions to new housing developments for less money than the local utility and provide better service by keeping the lights on during local power outages.

Streetleaf currently offers three product lines. Streetleaf AVE, which outputs 5,400 lumens and includes a 150 W solar module and 820 Wh battery. Streetleaf BLVD, with 7,200 lumen output, a 220 W solar module and 1.23 kWh battery. Streetleaf PATH, with 588 lumen output, 27 W of embedded solar cells, and 102 W battery.

Extracted from Danby, VT, the largest underground marble quarry in the world, Danby Marble differentiates itself in many ways. It’s harder and less porous than many other types of white marble and has a low absorption rate of 0.06%−0.8%, compared to the 0.13−0.18% absorption rates common to Calacatta or Carrara marble, making Danby Marble more resistant to staining and more durable than other marble options. This material has also been used in many iconic American projects, including the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, and headstones in Arlington National Cemetery.
