Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Valley Forge, Pa. (PRWEB) July 03, 2013

In a survey of more than 11,000 building professionals, CertainTeed received top rankings across a wide array of exterior building products. Conducted by Readex Research, the Builder magazine annual Brand Use Study asked subscribers to rank products based on familiarity, frequency of use and overall quality. For the 17th consecutive year, CertainTeed Vinyl Siding was named the overall brand leader. In addition, CedarBoards received top honors in the insulated siding category for the fourth consecutive year and Restoration Millwork cellular PVC decorative trim achieved best brand familiarity.

CertainTeed has a long-standing track record as a brand that building professionals and homeowners alike can trust, says Mark Rayfield, president of CertainTeed Siding. The study shows that CertainTeed is a one-stop-shop for the freedom to choose across a complementary exterior building product portfolio, mixing and matching among product categories for outstanding curb appeal.

CertainTeed solar roofing products, which include Apollo II and Solstice, also received top rankings in the photovoltaic roofing category. The companys broad collection of asphalt and synthetic roofing shingles were also recognized.

This survey is a testament to our leadership in the roofing industry, specifically in regard to our intense product innovation, training and technical support, says Tom Smith, president of CertainTeed Roofing. By seamlessly integrating the traditional asphalt roofing shingles and solar roofing technologies into our product portfolio, we are ultimately making energy-saving solutions more accessible to the average homeowner.

With more than 40 different color options, the CertainTeed Vinyl Siding Collection features the industrys widest selection of textures and styles. The siding offers durability, ease-of-maintenance, and is backed by a lifetime, limited warranty. Molded from real cedar boards and backed with polystyrene insulation, CedarBoards insulated siding can increase overall thermal performance, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs.

Designed to add the finishing touch to any siding project, Restoration Millwork is engineered to look, feel and work like top-grade lumber. Unlike wood, however, it is made with a long-lasting, low-maintenance material and with 21 percent recycled content, it is the only cellular PVC trim on the market to incorporate post-consumer recycled material.

CertainTeed offers a wide range of photovoltaic roofing systems, including Apollo II lightweight, integrated modules for both residential asphalt shingle and flat concrete tile roofing and Solstice, featuring highly efficient, monocrystalline photovoltaic (PV) rack-mounted, high-performance panels that can easily be installed onto either a low-slope or steep-slope roof. Designed to meet the demands of sustainable construction and replacement roofing, these products leverage next generation technology to generate unrivaled performance without compromising aesthetics and are backed by CertainTeeds electricity output and installation workmanship warranty one of the most comprehensive in the industry.

THE LATEST WOE The stripping of the new siding off the Dawson City hospital is seen this morning. Right: a close-up of the problem.

The saga of the Yukons new hospitals continues.

The siding on the new Dawson City hospital will have to be replaced because the specially designed product has begun falling off.

The cement product had been chosen because it met the requirements of Dawsons heritage advisory committee and is non-combustible, Val Pike, a spokesperson for the Yukon Hospital Corp., said today.

Once we started putting the siding on the building, it was discovered that the product wasnt suitable for the fluctuations in climate in Dawson and the product started to fall off once it was installed, Pike told the Star.

The product is now being removed. The corporation, in collaboration with the heritage advisory committee, is looking at replacement options.

Pike said the corporation hopes to have the new product installed in the next month, and it shouldnt impact the opening of the hospital in the fall.

The corporation doesnt know at this point how much the debacle will cost; officials are looking into what may be covered under the product warranty, Pike said.

The new hospitals in Dawson and Watson Lake have been the subject of continued controversy since a scathing report by the Auditor General highlighted shoddy planning that resulted in cost overruns and delays.

When the school facilities task force members presented their findings in April, they recommended a total cost not to exceed $130 million. But the cost of each recommended repair, replacement and improvement was not part of the presentation.

For seven elementary school buildings, that information was provided at the June 20 school board meeting.

The eighth school, Central Montessori, was not included in this list. It is currently housed in the Central Learning Center, which the task force recommends demolishing because of its age. Along with the other programs now at the CLC, Central Montessori could be moved to Southwest Junior High.

Each of the elementary buildings has a list of items categorized into first, second and third priority.

The total estimated construction cost to do everything on the elementary list is $43,315,843. The total for just the top-ranked items is $21,087,263.

The highest-ranking items for the seven schools are presented in the charts below. First priority items are shaded blue, second priority light blue, and third priority green.

Some items on the list apply just to a certain part of the building. For example, in the list of top priorities at Forest View Elementary, the task force recommended HVAC upgrades to the north kindergarten addition. In the second priority list at Lino Lakes Elementary, window and screen replacements apply only to the 1957 and 1975 wings.

So that board members could fully understand these specifics, the presentation included a map of each elementary school showing the date each wing was built. Those maps are also posted here.

The cost list for changes recommended for junior high and high school buildings will be presented at the Oct. 10 school board meeting.

A secondary campus, with Century Junior High housing all students in grades seven and eight and an expanded high school building accommodating grades nine to 12, will be considered.
