    CertainTeed. Restoration Millwork Beadboard Panels offer speedy installation of beadboard exterior trim. The 4-by-8-foot panels install up to three times faster than standard beadboard, the maker says, and are ideal for finishing larger exterior areas, such as porch ceilings, soffit, wainscoting, and other outdoor amenities. The cellular PVC material is engineered to look, feel, and work like wood with added resistance to rotting, warping, moisture, and insects. The panels join existing Restoration Millwork 5 1/2-inch beadboard designed for smaller accent areas. Available in a naturla white finish, the panels can also be custom painted. A shiplap edge allows adjacent panels to overlap for a seamless transition. 800.233.8990. www.certainteed.com.

    Kreg. Unlike other concealed decking installation systems that use fasteners or clips to old deck boards in place. the Kreg Deck Jig uses a straight-forward approach that creates a wood-to-wood bond through precise placement of self-tapping screws. By placing the Jig at the edge of a deck board, users can drill holes into the edge of the board using a specialized step bit and the Deck Jig's hardened steel drill guides. Screws can be driven through the same drill guide into the joist with a depth collar that controls the screw's depth. Kreg Deck Screws are desgined specifically for use with the Deck Jig and feature a self-tapping tip and flat bottom head to reduce the chance of deck board splitting. 800.447.8638. www.kregtool.com.

    Simonton. A completely redesigned screen frame is now standard on select replacement and new construction windows. The new extruded screen frame features a streamlined appearance, a newly-designed water management system, and integrated lift handles. The ridgid frames also can be color-matched for a customized look. The unique, concealed weep system faces the interior and promotes water drainage away from the frame. The new frames can be ordered as an upgrade on products where it does not come standard. 800.746.6686. www.simonton.com.

    Tamko. Peel-N-Stick Felt is the first saturated felt underlayment with a release film backing that can be peeled off, and the underlayment applied directly to the roof deck, the maker says. No cap nails or staples are needed to install the material, and the adhesive backing offers added wind and blow-off resistance. Enhanced tear resistance also offers a more durable work surface. The material is marked with layout lines at 4, 8, and 32 inches to assist in proper alignment. 800.641.4691. www.tamko.com.

    Versatex. The maker's Stealth trim line now includes Stealth Fascia and Stealth Frieze boards. The boards' cut-out channels are precisely aligned for hiding the edges of most makes and configurations of soffit products. Stealth Frieze trim also has the same 3/4-by-3/4-inch pocket as other Stealth profiles for hiding the top edge of all types of siding. 724.857.1111. www.versatex.com.
