Home Slicker
Stone and Stucco
Rainscreen
Benjamin Obdyke
Horsham, Pa.
Benjamin Obdyke's Home Slicker Stone and Stucco alleviates moisture problems specifically in stone, stucco and masonry applications by providing a continuous drainage and ventilation space in a rainscreen wall assembly. The patented, vertically channeled matrix forms the air space, while the breathable fabric blocks mortar from seeping into the newly formed cavity, allowing moisture to pass through. Current construction designs call for manufactured stone to be applied directly against the metal lathe, which is placed against the plywood sheathing and water-resistive barrier. This technique allows any moisture that penetrates the exterior cladding to become trapped between the cladding and the interior sheathing. Building science experts are now recommending a rainscreen system as the optimum method of wall construction in masonry applications to allow the trapped moisture to drain.

Mobile Shrink Wrap
Fast Wrap USA
Reno, Nev
When structures are being built, and inclement weather arrives or a project hold takes place, there is no simpler or more cost-effective solution for asset protection than Fast Wrap. Fast Wrap is able to shrink wrap entire buildings, no matter the size, on site and, generally, the same day. In addition, Fast Wrap can eliminate the need to transport and store heavy equipment and supplies by protecting them at the site against damage from the elements while not in use. This saves not only time and effort, but also money. From housing additions or remodels, to hospital upgrades, Fast Wrap's services have renovations covered, quite literally. With the capability to protect the old from the new, the shrink-wrapping resource allows homes and buildings to be safely inhabited or used while undergoing construction.
