Revolutionary Products are the Hype of PCBC ® 2008
Hybrids aren’t just for cars anymore
Grand Hall®, a worldwide leading innovator and supplier of residential and commercial gas appliances and components, will display its newest revelation at PCBC® 2008—the Eternal® hybrid water heating system. Combining the best of both tank and tankless systems, Eternal is engineered to out-perform all other water heaters in the marketplace. It utilizes a patented counter-flow design and multi-pass heat exchanger technology that maintains an 86 percent thermal efficiency rating with consistent pressure.

And that’s not all. The Carey Brothers will also attend the Grand Hall/Eternal booth awarding prizes to attendees playing the brothers’ “Spin to Win” game. Third generation contractors, nationally syndicated columnists, and hosts of the radio show On The House, the Carey Brothers can attest to the reliance and dependability of Eternal as Morris Carey currently has one installed in his home.

“The biggest change I’ve seen [with Eternal] is on my utility bill,” he said. “I am receiving water at the temperature that it is supposed to be, and no longer have to worry about my tank running all the time.”

“Cool” Roofs
Going green never looked so good. In response to a recent study that found lower operating and maintenance costs motivates 63 percent of consumers to purchase green homes, MonierLifetile®, the leading concrete roof tile manufacturer, will introduce its new Energy Efficient Roof (EER). This innovative system’s ventilated assembly provides a 50 percent reduction in heat penetration into the conditioned space of a home, thereby decreasing heat and energy costs by up to 22 percent as compared to an asphalt shingle roof.

MonierLifetile’s new EER couldn’t be timelier as on April 9, 2008, the Dallas City Council unanimously approved the incorporation of numerous green building practices into law. Effective Oct. 1, 2009, builders of projects less than 50,000 square feet must use 15 percent less energy and 20 percent less water than current Dallas energy conservation code standards mandate. Additionally, under Dallas’ new code, roofs must be more energy efficient on buildings smaller than 50,000 square feet. Moreover, projects larger than 50,000 square feet will face similar requirements.

Enhancing the perception of PVC trim products. Why ‘wood’ you use any other trim?
KOMA Trim Products, provider of exterior trim solutions used for a variety of applications including fascias, window and door surrounds, flat panel applications, custom millwork and decorative columns and trim, will be announcing its 2007 Building Professional of the Year Winner, Sean O’Connor. This idea exchange program recognizes one leading building professional who effectively and innovatively incorporated KOMA Trim Products into housing designs and projects.

Furthermore, KOMA is introducing several new products at PCBC ® 2008 including soffit systems, water tables, as well as an extension to its popular Allure Collection of extruded PVC mouldings.

Professional Performance
Gerber is also eager to display its most premium bathroom collection to date—the Logan Square™ Suite. Catch a glimpse of this innovative bathroom series showcasing the ultimate in elegance and unparalleled performance by visiting booth S5321.
