There's more to DUR-O-WAL's veneer anchoring system than meets the eye. You know DUR-O-WAL has everything you're looking for in a veneer anchor. The D/A 213 holds masonry to steel studs through heavy insulation. Its unique 2-screw design gives you 100% redundancy, each screw capable of carrying 100% of the load. And the D/A 801 Adjustable Speed Set Anchor provides on-site versatility with proven performance into steel or concrete.

But they're not the whole picture. Take, for example, our new SX Screws. The self-tapping carbon steel tip combines with a 300 Series stainless steel shank to simplify installation into steel studs and prevent deterioration. DUR-O-WAL also provides an alternative to stainless steel, our fully tested corrosion resistant co-polymer coated D/A 807 screws.

Then there's our Fiberweb 200 and 300 flashings. Fiberweb 200 offers metal-free flashing with Army Corps of Engineers Acceptance, while Fiberweb 300 utilizes encapsulated metal construction. Both yield flashing performance that's superior to copper... but far less expensive. Both feature an exclusive Mylar tape system for leak-free seams.

DUR-O-WAL's new polypropylene cell vents help assure that moisture entering or exiting the cavity will pass through the exterior veneer. In short, DUR-O-WAL has a complete veneer anchoring system that lets you specify DUR-O-WAL's proven quality throughout - a single source for the whole order. For the full story, call your distributor or contact DUR-O-WAL.

DUR-O-WAL, INC. 3115A N. Wilke Road Arlington Heights, IL 60004 (312) 577-6400
