Roofing panels handle snow weight When used as part of a properly installed roofng system, WEYERHAEUSER Edge Gold Roofng Panels help handle the extra weight of winter elements. The thicker roof panel adds bending strength in climates with a heavy snow load, and they are Structural 1 certifed by the APA for superior pane properties. Tongue-and-groove edges provide more efcient distribution of heavy loads. The panels include two-way nail lines applied horizontally and vertically at 16- and 24-in. centers.

Circle 43 on inquiry card Vinyl windows for indoor- outdoor spaces PLY GEM WINDOWS West Pro and Builder Series vinyl windows have expanded to include two additional exterior color options for builders in the West. Clay is a deep, bold color that provides a darker aesthetic for increased contrast against stucco. Sand is a lighter, warmer tone reminiscent of the architectural styling authentic to the West. The colors are available on most West Pro and Builder Series operating styles, including single-hung, sliding, picture and architectural shape windows.

The metal bracket bolts to a roof to serve as a secure ladder clamp and harness anchor point. The red Slator roof bracket is ANSI certifed and OSHA compliant, with the ability to hold up to 5,000 lbs. from a rooftop. The blue Slator-Mini is a smaller ladder clamp without the anchor feature.
