Features include an integrated rail attachment that allows the system to move with roof expansion and contraction, and a single-sided front-end water diverter to minimize roof penetrations and leaks. The system incorporates Sunoptics’ Signature Series prismatic skylights, offering a cost-effective daylighting solution, and is available in 2x5- and 2x10-foot modular sections. Acuity Brands Inc.

HARDWOOD FLOORING ENGINEERED FOR STABILITY, DURABILITY

Terra Legno wood flooring is created by combining separate layers of hardwood, each laid out so that its grain runs at a right angle to the grain of other layers. Combining the layers this way gives the flooring “dimensional stability,” preventing it from changing shape due to moisture conditions. Floors are made from 100% Russian birch hardwood, known for its exceptional strength and stability, and each plank comes prefinished with nine layers of coating to improve durability. Terra Legno also has limited impact on the environment, producing up to three times more square feet of flooring per tree harvested. Terra Legno

SMALLER CEILING FAN OFFERS SUSTAINABILITY, SILENT AIRFLOW

Capable of the same efficiency as Big Ass Fans’ larger diameter fans, the Haiku ceiling fan is designed for smaller commercial and residential applications, with a wingspan of 60 inches. The concealed motor of this new fan delivers an 80% improvement in efficiency over conventional ceiling fan motors, exceeding Energy Star requirements. Operated by remote control, the fan has 10 settings, including “Whoosh,” which simulates natural variations in airflow for greater user comfort. The airfoils are made of Moso bamboo and feature an aerodynamic profile, providing smooth and silent airflow at all speeds. Big Ass Fans
