AZEK® crosses half-million tires milestone

Scranton, PA based AZEK® Pavers, which offers a hardscape solution for backyards and driveways, has hit a milestone by diverting more than a half million scrap tires from landfills, the company announced.

Made with up to 95% recycled content, AZEK Pavers' manufacturing to date is responsible for keeping more than 10 million pounds of scrap rubber and plastics out of U.S. landfills by utilizing recycled material from more than 535,000 scrap tires and 16 million plastic food containers and DVD cases. The AZEK Paver manufacturing process also uses 95% less energy and produces 96% less in CO2 emissions than the production of conventional concrete pavers, the company said.

AZEK Pavers, previously VAST Pavers, was first introduced to the market in 2007. In December 2012, AZEK Building Products completed its purchase of VAST Enterprises and the national rollout of the AZEK Paver product line.

Ultra-tec® Setting the standard for cable railing systems

Parksite is proud to introduce Ultra-tec® Cable Railing Kits. Cable railing designs have become more popular and not just for commercial applications. Now there is a comprehensive kit system that has something to offer for all types of projects; making this attractive style more accessible to a broader audience.

Ultra-tec® Railing Systems are available in several combinations and can work with wood post, metal post and composite sleeve designs with the versatility to handle stairs and steep pitches. Available in standard lengths from 5 to 25 feet, kits can accommodate both long and short spans with limited trimming and the kits work for both new projects and retrofits.

At the heart of the system's value is the hardware. Rather than adapting hardware designed specifically for marine applications, Ultra-tec® features their exclusive Push-Lock™ and Pull-Lock™ fittings which do not require special tools for installation.
