Modeled after the citrus tree planters displayed in the gardens of Versailles since the 17th century, these pots will increase the beauty of any terrace, park, garden, or urban site. Made of cast iron and solid oak, they are generally used outside, but they can also decorate an interior such as a gallery, a hall, or the entrance of a building. Practical and elegant, the planters can be planted with palms, laurels, citrus, or coniferous trees. The entire line is based on one model, available in 10 sizes and in a wide variety of colors. |

As another way of "Seeing You Through," MI Windows and Doors has announced the addition of aluminum frames to its StormArmor line. The windows are available in a full line of operable, fixed, and architecturally shaped units with multiple color options. StormArmor windows are designed to resist impact from wind-borne debris and are an attractive alternative to shutters. StormArmor draws its strength from a PVB interlayer — a poly material that is sandwiched between two panes of glass. StormArmor products meet building codes for hurricane-prone states including Florida. |

Delta-Therm, a designer and manufacturer of electric cable heating systems for over 35 years, has introduced its DeltaWarm (DW) floor warming cable. These low-profile floor warming cables are commonly installed in remodeling projects to warm tile, marble, or stone floor coverings. The DW floor warming cable is made of flexible stranded resistance wires, covered by an inner thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) insulation, a durable copper braid, and a TPE overjacket. Power leads are fully armored and the DW cable measures 1/10th of an inch thick. DW cable is factory fabricated and sold on standard-sized reels for easy stocking at distributorships. |
