Korea-Based Company Orders Red Shield Concentrates to Process Lumber

Korea-Based Company Orders Red Shield Concentrates to Process Lumber

Eco Building Products, a manufacturer of proprietary wood products, has been awarded an order to supply Red Shield concentrates to Cyberwood’s division, Hana. Hana will use the concentrates to process about 820,000 board feet of lumber. Eco Building Products’ Red Shield coating uses the patent pending technology and provides considerable protection and fire safety to wood building components ranging from beams, joists and panelling to ceilings and floors. Hana’s parent company has planned to treat lumber and wood flooring substrates to market them in the South Korean market.

For supplying the domestic industries and markets, Korea relies on timber imports from Chile, New Zealand, the US, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries. Till now, the country depended on imports for primary timber products like bamboo, plywood, lumber and logs, which are manufactured into secondary products such as pulp, paper, medium density fibreboard, particle board and hardboard. Cyberwood has pointed out Red Shield lumber offers all the features that are required in the local markets.How to Choose the Right Flooring?

Eco Building Products’ President and CEO, Steve Conboy stated that their global marketing plans have started to come into action through Cyberwood. The company wants to use this opportunity to deliver coated lumber products to the other Asian markets. The new rectangular 12-packs make a world of difference, don't they? They're the perfect height and depth to slide snugly in between the shelves, making the most efficient possible use of the space. And once you've torn along the perforations to remove the front corner, there lie the cans in their neatly staggered rows, at your beck and call.

Calculated GratedeX Outdoor Flooring System selection

A single family home in beautiful southern Pennsylvania was receiving some updates and an addition. Part of this renovation project was a new second floor deck, optimizing the valley view. The owner, a structural engineer, and his wife, wanted a finished exterior deck with low maintenance and character. He began researching all types of deck and decking materials but they all fell short of their requirements for form and function. They process uncovered horror stories about splintered wood, moldy composite, and scratched PVC decks. He had just about given up on a low maintenance deck when he came across the GratedeX Outdoor Floor System.

"As an engineer, I was immediately impressed with the concept". This DexSystems flooring underlayment had the structural ability to support tile without the traditional mud-set or thin-set application methods. Canada Remains U.S.'s Largest Wood Flooring Export Market .The idea of having a porcelain tile deck or thin gauged natural stone deck meant "we had endless options to customize the look we wanted" for the finished floor surface. And the finished outdoor floor decking would be a durable, low maintenance deck for the cold Pennsylvania winters.

Framing for this elevated exterior deck was new construction. Pressure treated 2x12 were placed at 16" O.C. Joist size was increased from the required dimension to add greater stiffness and minimize any noticeable deflection.

This structural engineer was not afraid to know his product choice with DIY hands on installation. He found that laying the GratedeX underlayment panels was very fast and easy. "They're simple to cut to size and to fasten down" to the framing. An aluminum railing was easily fastened over top of the GratedeX underlayment with bolts passing through the GratedeX underlayment panel openings and into the joist blocking.

Canada Remains U.S.'s Largest Wood Flooring Export Market

Canada Remains U.S.'s Largest Wood Flooring Export Market

The value of wood flooring exports to Canada for the first half of 2011 grew 6 percent from $35.6 million during the same period in 2010 to $37.7 million, according to the latest figures from the USDA's Foreign Agriculture Service that were prepared by the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC). These figures mean Canada remains the country's largest export market for U.S. wood flooring by a wide margin; next in line is Mexico, which imported $1.2 million during the first half of 2011.

The U.S. exported $45.1 million in wood flooring from January to June, and Canada accounted for 84 percent of that total. <a href="http://yyhflooring.blogspot.com/2011/08/different-kinds-of-floors-gold-coast.html">Different Kinds Of Floors Gold Coast </a>.This total is up 2 percent from the same period in 2010, when U.S. manufacturers sent $44.4 million worth of production overseas.Leibow allegedly issued fraudulent checks to both himself and his wife with the owner's forged signatures. He also has been accused of cashing rewards points from Mohawk Flooring for more than $2,000 in gifts.

While Mexico is second in line for the value of its wood flooring imported from the U.S., that may be where the opportunity lies for domestic producers. "Hardwood flooring interest is on the rise in Mexico, as they have found it cheaper to import it rather than to produce it," said AHEC's Manager of International Programs An Di Nguyen.Exports to Mexico in 2011 have already surpassed the total value of $1.0 million exported there in all of 2009."If costs of logistics between [Mexico and the U.S.] were ever to decrease, you would probably see an increase in flooring exports," added Nguyen.
