We have witnessed, and previously reported on, customers using our Pocket Display System to create any number of interesting solutions, such as for display real estate listings and museums display walls. We have a new application success story to share with you. It comprises 175 pockets creating a display spanning more than 35 feet wide and over 8 feet tall. The client is Strata Decision Technology, a pioneer and industry leader of software solutions for financial and business support in the healthcare industry. They support over 1,000 healthcare organizations, hospitals, medical centers, and the like. At their headquarters they’ve created a branding wall, if you will, of some of the healthcare institutions whom they count as clients. You can see their client list is quite impressive and so is the brag wall, which all those logos create. Designing a hanging system using our Pocket Display System, they were able to highlight each client in a professional and suitable manner. The Pocket Display System they’ve chosen is designed with Articulated Piers, Cable Clamps, and Acrylic Pockets. The perfectly hung display is not only beautiful, but extremely functional as well. The acrylic pockets, used here are in the tabloid size, protect each client logo insert with little extra care. Each logo is simply printed on 11×17 paper and then inserted into an acrylic pocket via a convenient top opening. This design also allows contents of any pocket, or even all the pockets, to be changed easily – simply by sliding out the banner held within, then replacing it with a new banner. No un-mounting or re-mounting of the pockets or display components to update the brag wall, and certainly no tools required. With our Articulated Piers, you can see that mounting a display of this size and calibre is of no issue even on a curved wall. The statement of this display, in such a grand hallway, makes a bold and confident declaration to all who see it. We are sure it is a place of pride for Strata Decision Technology, while allowing them to acknowledge the companies with which they can claim as client/partners.

Casso Display Rail is a cleverly designed rail that allows for paper and mat board up to 2mm (1/16th inch) in thickness to be displayed simply by slipping them into the slot at the bottom of the rail. With its unique design of no internal rollers, stapled documents will not become jammed. There will never be torn edges or fraying of documents either. Whether you’re using Casso Display Rail in a professional or school environment, or you’re installing it as a functional addition to an artistic piece, the track is clean and purposeful, and completely eliminates the use of cork boards and map rails. Above, a series of Casso rails are used to present art photography in a school. This allows staff to effortlessly change out the prints on display at any one moment. And, because the design of Casso track is “fastener-less”, the prints are not damaged, nor is there the concern of stray thumbtacks or staples being unfortunately misplaced on the floor, or mischieviously misused. This clearly demonstrates Casso Display Rail as a replacement for bulletin bars, maps rails and cork rails found in most North America schools.

INTRODUCING INTRAGUARD™, A SUPERIOR WATER-BASED, PENETRATING CONCRETE SEALING COMPOUND Hampshire, IL – W. R. MEADOWS would like to Introduce INTRAGUARD, a water-based, penetrating concrete sealing compound for exterior concrete surfaces specifically designed to limit the intrusion of moisture and chlorides into concrete surfaces. Its proprietary blend of silane and siloxane penetrates deep into the pores of the concrete to help protect it from scaling caused by deicing salts. INTRAGUARD’s clear sealing properties weatherproofs and protects virtually all exterior concrete surfaces including concrete driveways, walkways, and parking lots. The product is designed to provide lasting protection from de-icing chemicals and moisture intrusion. Surfaces treated with INTRAGUARD will also be resistant to staining from oils, fuels, and common chemicals. One of INTRAGUARD’s major benefits includes its non-film forming material that penetrates deep into the surface to form an integral barrier to moisture penetration. It also reduces the entrapment of dirt particles and other contaminants that cause discoloration and inhibits soiling, protects against efflorescence, rust staining, and is water-based and VOC-compliant. For more information on INTRAGUARD, including data sheet, installation procedures, guide specs, and MSDS, visit www.wrmeadows.com. For samples call 1-800-342-5976.

Duradek™, the original vinyl deck waterproofing membrane reaches the notable benchmark of 40 years in business. Having grown from pioneering product to leading brand in the competitive niche market of deck waterproofing, our job is to protect where you live and allow you to enjoy it as much as possible. Originally conceived by two contractors in British Columbia’s Okanagan region in 1974, Duradek was inspired by a marine vinyl used to cover the interior floor of small boats. These two boating enthusiasts recognized that the attractive, slip resistant vinyl surface, tough enough for wear, waterproof and easy to clean could be a perfect solution for the lake view decks so popular in the region...and an industry was born! The company initially offered franchise opportunities and Duradek’s current owners, John and Robert Ogilvie started off with a few franchises. The two sold the franchises in 1978 to purchase a third of the Duradek parent company. They eventually purchased Duradek outright in the mid 80’s and have maintained ownership ever since. During that time, the single biggest evolution within the company was to develop a product and installation techniques that would allow Duradek vinyl to meet building code approval in roofing applications. Ensuring these critical techniques were followed in practice was an important factor in the ability to guarantee roof-grade waterproofing and thus a business model developed that restricted the availability of Duradek to authorized contractors that were trained in Duradek’s unique application techniques. Four decades after inception, Duradek has significantly contributed to the development of the specialty trade of deck waterproofing and so far there has been over 125 million square feet of Duradek installed on balconies, decks, patios and roof decks in all North American climates. Family owned and operated, Duradek retains the culture of a small family business with the reach and influence of a multi-national organization. This strength is gratefully attributed to the partnerships we have with our distributors and contractors (many of whom are second generation) that really want to “do it right”. This is what makes Duradek truly unique. The understanding that it is not product alone that solves waterproofing problems, nor is it a contractor alone, but rather a partnership between the two with the shared goal of doing it right the first time. The combination of a strong product, refined details and professional installation make Duradek the superior choice for waterproofing balconies and roof decks in residential and light commercial applications. Now at our 40th year in in business we are in a marketplace with a variety of competitive vinyl suppliers and it is a very different climate than in the early days of being the only option for vinyl deck membranes. We have endured, analysed, prospered, rethought, expanded, designed, developed, re-examined, expanded again and, most importantly, continually test ourselves and our products to adapt to the needs of the architectural and building communities. And we’re not done yet! Rather than publish a huge retrospective on years gone by and chuckle at all those 1974 pictures of long hair and bell bottoms, we simply want to thank the building community for their support over these 40 years. We take quiet satisfaction in having found a way to remain the most reliable source of deck waterproofing in North America.
