Readers gravitate toward a barn door line and a water-resistive air barrier from the recent product coverage in our publication. The following product received the most reader inquiries from the August issue of Qualified Remodeler: SIMPSON DOOR COMPANY A rising number of homeowners are selecting barn doors due to their combination of practicality and aesthetics, and Simpson Door Company aims to meet the growing demand with a line of interior and exterior barn doors. Offered in a variety of classic barn door designs, doors can be mounted on a slid- ing barn door track or as a traditional swing door. e Simpson classic barn door design styles are available in 1 ⅜- or 1 ¾-inch thickness with a ¾-inch grooved flat panel, and barn doors can ordered for interior or exterior applications. Virtually any Simpson door can be used in a barn track application—choose any door design and any wood species. A "weathered" option is offered to further give the barn doors a rustic look. Because of the many options available, Simpson recommends visiting its design tool, Doormagination, on the company's website to see the hundreds of stan- dard options or to create a custom door from scratch.

The following product received the most reader inquiries in the past month on QualifiedRemodeler.com: HENRY COMPANY To help with the challenges of preventing water and mold damage and reducing energy costs when remodeling or residing a home, the Henry Blueskin VP100 provides a water-resistive air barrier with watertight laps and self-sealing technol- ogy to eliminate air and moisture gaps around nails and other fasteners. e fully adhered, peel-and-stick system is ideal for wood frame construction—though it does adhere to most construction surfaces—and installs with common hand tools. Henry Blueskin VP100 is made from a tri-laminate polypropylene fabric with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners. Rolls are available in 100-ft. lengths and 4-, 6-, 9-, 12- and 48-in. widths for full wall and flashing applications. e Blueskin VP100 can be combined with a Henry sealant to further seal around reverse laps and penetrations, such as pipes, duct work, electrical and other extru- sions. Such a pairing can contribute to a home's energy efficiency as well as savings in HVAC costs. e self-adhered water-resistive air barrier is part of the Henry Residential Building Envelope Systems, which includes compatible membranes, flashings, sealants and accessories.
