2-IN-1 TURBO CUT-OFF BLADE

Diablo Tools’ new diamond segmented turbo masonry cut-off blades provide extreme durability, longer life, and faster cuts in concrete and brick.

Designed to fit standard arbor sizes and X-Lock interface, the blades deliver up to 30% faster cuts and up to four times longer cutting life vs. standard diamond cut-off blades. No need to choose between blades that offer either a quick cut or a clean cut—the new 2-in-1 design delivers both.

The blades are designed with minimal gullet space between their proprietary segments to provide the perfect balance between speed and cleanliness of cut. The SPEED-Edge slot design aids in debris removal and reduces vibration and side friction. With a hardened blade body design, the blades provide the perfect ratio of debris removal and superior quality cuts while delivering longer life than standard blades. Unique castellations on the blade help remove debris and keep the blade cool when cutting. The blades feature 60% taller segments containing superior quality diamonds, along with an ultra-durable bond to the blade body for extended blade cutting life.

Muted Composite Screws

Simpson Strong-Tie has added two new color options to its line of Deck-Drive DCU Stainless Steel Composite screws designed for fastening PVC and composite decking or trim to wood framing and wooden roof sleeper assemblies, as well as for fastening PVC and composite cladding to wood framing.

The new Light Tan and Light Gray options have been formulated to pair with lighter colors that provide cooler deck surface temperatures in warm climates. They are among a wide range of colors, matched to blend with decking from most major manufacturers.

For superior corrosion resistance in marine or high-exposure environments, the new colors come in Type 305 or Type 316 stainless steel. The screws can be purchased in bulk or collated for use with the Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system.

BELOW-GRADE INSULATION

Atlas’ new EnergyShield XR polyiso insulation is specifically engineered to provide continuous insulation for foundation walls and under slab use.

The polyiso rigid foam board is comprised of a closed-cell structure with impermeable, durable facers that offer a high R-value per inch of thickness and resists moisture absorption, providing an effective material to insulate in all climates. Its capacity to serve as a vapor retarder, high compressive strength and ease of handling makes it a high-performing solution for building foundations.

With a standard compression strength of 25 psi, it’s exceptionally durable, resisting pressures from backfill while durable facers offer added impact protection.

DECK JOIST & LEDGER TAPE

National Nail’s CAMO brand is adding an extra layer of protection for the deck substructure, with CAMO Joist + Ledger Deck Tape.

The self-adhesive butyl tape creates a waterproof membrane to protect wood deck framing against moisture, which can lead to rot. It self-seals around fasteners, blocking the pathway of water into wood. Apply the tape to the top of joists and ledger board, between joist hangers and ledger board, between rim joists and fascia, and between framing and joist hangers.

Securely bonding to wood framing, one 65 ft. roll covers approximately 75 sq. ft. of deck framing. The tape comes in three sizes: 1-5⁄8” wide for single joists to fully cover tops of 2x wood joists; 3-1⁄8” wide for use with double joists; and 6” wide for ledger and rim joists.

What A Relief

Rhythm, Island Stone’s new collection of dimensional stone tiles, incorporates modern manufacturing techniques with precision machinery to offer a new take on the popular wedge design relief.

Rhythm’s prominent design attribute lies in the smooth transition between the highest and lowest point of each slender tile strip. The elimination of rugged, angular joints at the apex creates a softening effect, while highlighting the natural stone.

Offered in a honed finish and a choice of four colors (Crystal White, Sandstone Grey, Sandstone Mint, Sutra Black), the 3-1/8”x15-3/8” tiles are suitable for indoor and out, including walls, kitchen backsplashes, fireplace walls, and pool/spa water features.
