TerraDrain
 |
In My Own Words
"Prior to our using TerraDrain — and no matter how successful a door installation was — we inevitably got complaints within the first year. Years later, water was seeping into the basement area where the slab meets the Bilco doorsteps. This product allows a small drainage plane underneath the slab and on top of the footer, giving the water somewhere to go instead of into the homeowner's basement. It is a cheap solution to a difficult problem.
UStec Wiring Systems

UStec provides homeowners with the wiring infrastructure they need to distribute and connect video, data and voice signals for home entertainment, home networking, home security and automation. The UStec infrastructure offers maximum flexibility, which means it won't tie homeowners to prescribed hardware and software solutions. Shown here, the ceLAN tecCenter cabinet, 2 by 2 tecWire and a 2 by 2 tecPlate. Circle # 127 or go to http://pb.ims.ca/5214-127
In My Own Words
"Structured wiring offers superior performance over the 1950s-style wiring still used in many homes while eliminating the clutter of expose wiring. The installation of high-quality devices from UStec, along with superior wiring, gives our customers the ultimate performance from their present electronic equipment. This wiring network also permits the expansion with the bandwidth needed for future technologies while increasing the resale value of every home."
Merillat Cabinets

The product offers one-year UV resistance while minimizing energy-robbing air infiltration. That helps us build a quality product free of moisture problems."
