QC Concrete Dye
Developed for numerous interior effects and applications, QC Concrete Dye is a translucent, micronized, chemically inert, non reactive pigment that penetrates deep into a concrete overlay surface or slab and permeates the pores of the substrate. The vibrant colorations leave no film or coating to wear away. Available in solvent-based and LEED-qualified water-based versions, it comes in 16 field-dilutable hues. QC Construction Products, Madera, Calif.
ProStone Manufactured Stone Veneer
Notable for its realistic stone appearance, ProStone Manufactured Stone Veneer is a cementious product that provides the aesthetic and structural properties of the real thing without the typical costs. Manufactured to comply with all major building codes and AC-51, for both residential and commercial projects, ProStone components are available in more than a dozen natural shades and textural combinations to suit a variety of architectural styles. Additionally, it comes with a 25-year limited warranty. Owens Corning Masonry Products, Toledo, Ohio.
TranslucentConcrete
Defying all previous assumptions, TranslucentConcrete by Andreas Bittis for the German manufacturer Florack is a high-density product that can be fabricated in up to 48" x 79" panels at about 3/4" thick. (Other versions of this material are available in smaller 24" x 48" sheets.) A combination of optical fibers (5 percent) and fine concrete, this light-transmitting material maintains the structural integrity of the concrete. Florack, Heinsberg, Germany.
Power-Stud+SD2
Engineered to meet the new stringent International Building Code (IBC) requirement of strength, the Power-Stud+SD2 carbon-steel bolt is a one-piece, fully threaded wedge anchor with a stainless-steel clip designed for concrete and other masonry applications. Available in a full range of length and diameters, this bolt is said to have significantly more holding power than the company's previous version of this product. Power Fasteners, Brewster, NY.
FGS PermaShine System
A patented dry method of polished concrete-floor on surface restoration, the VOC-free FGS PermaShine System gains points for the LEED certification of a building through the LEED for New Renovations Version 2.2 Green Building Rating System. Besides reducing waste and energy by refurbishing a preexisting surface, the system extracts and retains dust during the grinding process. L&M Construction Chemicals, Omaha, Neb.
Realstone Systems
Appropriate for numerous residential and commercial projects, interior and exterior, Realstone Systems natural stone veneer panels are fabricated in hand-selected, split slate, quartz, limestone, and sandstone. Available in five profiles and shades, such as the new Accent Stone, each modular panel measures 6" by 24" and weighs between 8 and 14.5 pounds. Configurations include corner pieces, cut with fingered ends, and precut outlet panels. Realstone Systems, Troy, Mich.
