  • THE KEY to SUCCESS with READY SEAL: ABOUT READY SEAL
    Thank you for considering Ready Seal for your exterior wood projects. We want you to get the best results possible, so if you still have questions or need additional information after reading the contents of this document, please visit our website or contact us @ 888-782-4648 for additional product support. THE KEY TO SUCCESS with READY SEAL: This document contains multiple sections that address a variety of topics. Proper wood preparation and measuring the moisture content of the wood prior to application are the two most critical steps to getting the best results. *See the WOOD PREP and MOISTURE CONTENT sections of this document. ABOUT READY SEAL Ready Seal has been the product of choice for professionals since 1992. What used to be available to contractors only is now available to all. Ready Seal is a genuine semi-transparent stain and seal that penetrates into the wood rather than sitting on the surface. It is a proprietary blend of natural resins, trans-oxide pigments (which provide UV protection), and some of the finest oils in the industry. There is no linseed oil, which has been known to promote algae and mildew growth. It is ideal for fences, decks, cedar siding, log homes, wooden garage doors, children’s play-sets, equestrian centers, boat docks, pergolas, gazebos, cabanas, pavilions, and other outdoor wood structures. It is also safe to use indoors and frequently used for interior projects including cabinets, floors & furniture. Ready Seal can be used on most wood types, such as pine (regular and pressure-treated), cedar, tiger, cypress, redwood, walnut, cherry, hickory and oak, and even some exotics such as teak, ipê, massaranduba, cumara, and garapa, although there are some nuances with these exotic woods, so please contact our office at 888-782-4648 if you want additional information on these.

  • Attachment of Residential Deck Ledger to Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Floor System Applicability
    Attachment of Residential Deck Ledger to Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Floor System September 18, 2007 Applicability: The purpose of this Technical Note is to suggest construction details for residential deck ledger attachment to metal plate connected wood truss (MPCWT) floor systems. Issue: Numerous field observations of existing decks revealed that a major source of failures are attributable to inadequate connection between the deck ledger and house rim joist, related wood decay and/or corrosion of fasteners, and a failure of single and/or various elements of the guardrail system. Residential decks are usually supported on one side by a ledger attached to the house. This ledger attachment is critical for ensuring that the deck is safely and securely supported at this location. Deck ledger connection problems are often aggravated by lack of structural redundancy, namely, when the ledger to rim board connection fails, the deck typically collapses catastrophically. Recommendations: When the floor system for the house uses MPCWT, the deck ledger shall not be connected to the house by nails alone. In the absence of a lateral bracing system installed on the deck, lag screws or bolts and/or other mechanical connectors must be used, i.e., the deck ledger must be lagged or bolted to the rim joist and/or other structural components of the house which in turn must be securely attached to the framing of the structure and supported on the foundation and/or wall below. A MPCWT is an engineered, prefabricated structural component designed for each specific application. MPCWT used in residential floors are often installed with a 2x4 lumber “ribbon” at the ends of the trusses (see Figure 1), the purpose of which is to tie the ends of the trusses together.

  • Applying Modular Construction to Multifamily Residential Projects in Washington, DC
    Fabulous Pre-fab Applying Modular Construction to Multifamily Residential Projects in Washington, DC Abigail R. Brown, AIA Hello! 1 1 Welcome to iLab iLab exists to promote innovation and progressive architecture and design through internal research sponsored by Hickok Cole Architects. The program creates a gap in day to day work life to foster innovation. The firm crowd sources the most compelling proposals, every employee votes, and the winners are awarded uninterrupted project- free time to develop an idea or project. Through this exploration the firm aims to stretch conventional notions about architecture, fabrication, work styles, and entrepreneurship. 2 What You’ll See Here This document is the result of Abigail Brown’s iLab project “Fabulous Pre-fab: Tour of modular construction factory; DeLuxe Building Systems Applying Modular Construction to Multifamily Residential Projects in Washington, DC.” Modular construction is a pre-fabrication system in which modules of a building are 2 2 constructed in a factory then shipped to the site and assembled on a foundation. This system has not yet been widely used in Washington, DC, despite the cost, schedule, and environmental benefits it offers and the successful use of the system in other major cities. This document records answers to the three major research questions that drove the investigation: what’s modular?, why and why not use modular?, and what can modular be? This research was tested with a speculative design for a real site in Washington, DC, with the intention of introducing
