NewProducts Batt Insulation CertainTeed has introduced a new way for builders and contractors to approach thermal performance and moisture management with SMARTBATT™ with MoistureSense™ technology, a fiberglass batt insulation that contributes to healthier homes and buildings by managing moisture. Unlike traditional polyethylene vapor barriers, this smart vapor retarder adapts based on moisture levels in the wall cavity, blocking moisture from entering when humidity is low and allowing the wall to breathe when it senses high humidity that needs to be released, helping reduce the potential for mold and mildew growth. www.certainteed.com Sun Block Stick It Dow Corning introduces a new structural glazing sealant to help overcome façade construction challenges. Dow Corning® 121 Structural Glazing Sealant can potentially simplify installation and reduce repair time. Supplied in a two-part cartridge with a static mixer, this neutralcure RTV silicone sealant comes in a 1-to-1 ("121") mix ratio, minimizes quality assurance issues and offers excellent adhesion and structural strength on many substrates without using a primer. It is suitable for on-site structural glazing, in-shop structural glazing, and repair or replacement of structurally glazed glass and other substrates. www.dowcorning.com/construction Interior sun control fabric manufacturer Phifer, Inc. unveils a third option in its eco-friendly SheerWeave Infinity2™ range of 100 percent recyclable, PVC- and lead-free window shade fabrics. The new 1 percent open full basket weave fabric window treatment line is certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air during product usage. Phifer also announces the re-introduction of the popular Style 7500 blackout fabric as an economical option in PVC-free blackout fabrics. www.phifer.com Retrofit Lamps MaxLite ® introduces two- and three-watt LED G9 retrofit lamps as versatile, energy-efficient alternatives for up to 40-watt halogen T4 G9-based lamps to retrofit easily into existing G9-sockets used in dry locations in commercial and residential applications. The low-profile LED retrofit lamps install easily and, unlike halogen, they do not require handling with gloves or a soft cloth to avoid premature risk of rupture. The G9 lamps produce halogen-like light for more than 12 times the life of a typical halogen. www.maxlite.com Button Up WAC Lighting's new versatile LEDme® Button Lights are designed for recessed or surface mounted cabinet applications, including luxury kitchen counters and retail displays. The new luminaires deliver strong lumen output and shadow-free illumination. These energy-efficient cabinet lighting solutions can be surface mounted or recessed for a built-in look. Miniature square and round styles, with a 11⁄2 -inch aperture and a 21⁄4 -inch width, deliver a soft warm directional light at 3,000K from a low-profile shallow installation. The luminaires disappear into curio cabinets and étagère shelves while deploying balanced lighting from multiple fixtures across the space. www.waclighting.com 50 | BUILDING INDUSTRY | MARCH 2014 http://www.certainteed.com http://www.dowcorning.com/construction http://www.phifer.com http://www.maxlite.com http://www.waclighting.com
