Nu-Wal Restoration System
Tired of looking at the same cracked walls day in and day out? What if the solution didn’t involve tearing out your plaster? The Nu-wal Restoration System repairs your walls and ceilings quickly, affordably and will prevent future cracks. The restored surface is ideal for either painting or wallpapering. The product is time tested, and 35-year-old applications still show no defects. Nu-Wal is a two-part system of a water-based coating and a reinforcing fiberglass mat applied similar to wallpaper. This creates a surface that resists impacts and abrasions. Once cured, Nu-Wal reinforces your walls and ensures cracks won’t come back. Besides making your wall look like new, Nu-Wal is also effective for lead paint encapsulation (ASTM E-1797). Specification Chemicals, Inc. has been manufacturing coatings since 1975.

OverBoards: Classic Upgrades for Baseboard Heat
Overboards are made from 100-percent aluminum, a non-corrosive material. The main panel is extruded aluminum and the end caps are cast aluminum. They’re a wonderful conductor of heat and will hold and radiate the heat long after steel covers have cooled and are calling for more heat, making Overboards much more energy efficient. These heavy-duty aluminum covers will not rust and become unsightly due to humidity and moisture. They will not dent in heavy traffic areas. OverBoards have a white powder-coat finish but can be painted to match any décor. They provide a high-end look and lasting value to your home, and they’re custom-cut to your exact specifications.

Arbortech AS170 Brick and Mortar Saw
A serious tool for serious work, the AS170 Brick and Mortar Saw is designed with the historic preservationist in mind, combining both power and control in one hand-held 110V power tool. The award-winning AS170 utilizes a unique orbital cutting motion, employing a set of powerful alternating tungsten-carbide toothed blades that easily fit inside mortar joints.

The saw features a built-in dust clearing centrifuge, automatic cut-off brushes and a slip-resistant synchronous belt. Be it replacing entire cracked, chipped or discolored bricks, repointing both standard width and narrow joints, or masonry cutting in general, the AS170 brings all this to the table and much more. The saw is backed by a 12-month limited warranty and comes as a full kit, ready for immediate action right out of its heavy-duty, extra-large, black nylon storage bag. Visit www.arbortechusa.com.

Utilizing just two inches of headroom, Zip-UP Ceiling can be installed against an existing unsightly or damaged ceiling without the hassle of removing it. Zip-UP Ceiling is also an excellent installation outdoors, coast to coast.
