Stainless Connectors
PowrFab offers a complete line of framing connectors made of marine-grade Type 316L stainless steel — a chromium-nickel stainless steel modified by the addition of molybdenum, which greatly increases its corrosion resistance. Type 316L stainless steel is generally more resistant to atmospheric and corrosive conditions than any of the other standard stainless steels, making them virtually impervious to salt, sand, and ocean spray. The PowrFab line of engineered hardware includes joist hangers, beam brackets, stainless connectors, concrete connectors, column bases, post bases, and hurricane clips. Engineered custom brackets are also available to order. For more information, contact Mulder Sheet Metal, Inc., 541/265-4269, www.powrfab.com.



Cellular-PVC Crown
Versatex has developed a new line of extruded cellular-PVC moldings that carries a 30-year limited warranty against delamination, decay, rot, corrosion, or swelling due to moisture. The new line includes five crown profiles, as well as base cap, brick mold, back band, scotia, bed and rake moldings, drip cap, quarter round, and a couple of sill nosings. While the trim can be painted with latex or acrylic primer and latex top coats, the manufacturer claims that Versatex does not yellow if left unpainted.
