Temple-Inland.
To maximize productivity, StructGuard TS mold-and fire-resistant structural sheathing is designed to be scored and cut with standard drywall tools, and now features stud-reference marks at 16 inches and 24 inches on-center. When installed using approved foil tapes along all exposed joints, the material resists water penetration, sometimes eliminating the need for housewrap. Measuring 4 feet wide, the material is available in 1/2- and 5/8-inch thicknesses, and lengths of 8, 9, 10, or 12 feet.

Simpson Door.
New WaterBarrier technology allows the maker's Performance Series wood French doors to perform better in harsh environments. A one-piece medium-density overlay and PVC sticking provide for durability of painted finishes on the exterior and numerous choices of wood species on the interior. Also, a composite block material finger-jointed into the bottom of the door's stiles prevents water infiltration.

Turn previously unusable areas under existing decks into covered outdoor living or storage spaces with DrySnap.

Western Wood Products.
For improved performance and appearance, Brigade Board joins vinyl siding to high-density foam insulation with rivets. The rivets let the vinyl float freely from the insulation as climate changes and settling dictate. The EPS foam backing offers a uniform surface and an R-value up to 3, the maker says. Available in 16 colors, Brigade Board currently comes in traditional clapboard and Dutch lap profiles.

Benjamin Obdyke.
Though it weighs as much as 40% less than standard roofing felt, SynShield slip-resistant synthetic roof underlayment provides strong protection against water intrusion, the maker says. The polypropylene material comes in larger-than-standard 48-inch-wide, 250-foot-long rolls, helping users finish work faster. Tear- and UV-resistance, and tensile strength allow the material to remain uncovered for up to six months after installation.

All four models in the new DG generator line (DG3000, DG4400B, DG6300B, and DG7000B), feature a CARB-compliant DeWalt commercial-grade engine. GFCI-protected outlets facilitate safer operation, and individual outlet breakers allow the unit to continue working if one breaker trips. A fully protected control panel and cordless battery start make the generators reliable in any weather.
