CertainTeed Introduces

 CertainTeed has introduced
a new version of the durable and
highly popular XT 25 shingle
that now provides a powerful
protection against algae discol-
oration. The new material,
called FungusBuster 25, is a log-
ical response to the markets
where ugly black and green
algae streaking is a problem.

pounds per square. The addition
of zinc granules to the colored
surface'granules helps Fungus-
Buster provide special protection
against fungus contamination of
the shingles on a home. It fea-
tures self-sealing strips that use
the sun's heat to seal the roof


tight against extreme weather
conditions.
 FungusBuster comes with a
25-year warranty, which in-
cludes a full 25 years of fungus
resistant coverage, as well as
five years of CertainTeed's Sure-
Start protection.

ing. The product is available in

Versatile Outdoor Lighting
From LSI
 LSI has introduced a versa-
tile new line of lighting that
offers a wide selection of mount-
ings, housings, reflectors and
detail options. Known as the
Seabrook series, it offers con-
sumers a single-source lighting
solution.
 Where architects, designers
and lighting engineers formerly
had to select from a multitude of
products to create a cohesive
design statement, they can now
rely on a single product series
to fill both pure architectural
and functional lighting applica-
tions.
 The Seabrook combines opti-
cal brilliance with high aesthet-


ics. A full range of photometrics
allows you to apply Type III,
Type V Square and Forward
Throw patterns. Two housing
sizes and mounting options -
pole top or arm-mount are
available.
 Ease of maintenance is a
prime design consideration. A
removable ballast tray makes
the fixture simple to service and
easy, toolless access to the fix-
ture is facilitated through two
spring-loaded latches on a self-
hinging extruded aluminum
door. All reflector systems are
field-rotatable.

including impact-resistance,
color selection and special fin-
ishes, contact LSI Lighting

Kalwall Survives Hurricane
Andrew
 Florida architect David Wolf-
berg of the firm Wolfberg, Alva-
rez and Associates saw the wind
and rain of Hurricane Andrew
ravage his home for well over an
hour. As doors and windows
blew out and his son was
thrown 20 feet across the room,
he fully expected his Kalwall
skylight to blow out. At storm's
end, the skylight was intact.
 The primary element of the
Kalwall System is a structural
composite sandwich panel
formed by permanently bonding
specially formulated, reinforced,
translucent fiberglass sheets to
a grid core constructed of inter-
locked, extruded structural alu-
minum I-beams. The panels can
be curved or flat. A permanent
erosion barrier means enduring
performance and little upkeep.

Through the devastation of Hurricane Andrew, Kalwall's skylight remains
intact.
