Supplies, Inc. and our team help you and your clients make informed

decisions on the products you choose for your projects.

water & MOISTURE management

Litigation surrounding water and moisture-related problems in construction has

risen dramatically in recent years. Experts estimate as much as 80% of

construction defect litigation is due to water and moisture related failures.

DuPont™ Tyvek® CommercialWrap® protects against air and water infiltration

while allowing harmful moisture vapor to escape the wall cavity. The unique

non-woven fiber structure of DuPont™ Tyvek® allows moisture vapor to diffuse

through the sheet, avoiding harmful mold and mildew buildup. DuPont™

Tyvek® CommercialWrap® stands up to tough work site conditions, with an

increased basis weight, and offers superior strength for a durable weather

membrane that is easy to install.

reduce ENVIRONMENTAL footprint

Creating green buildings in an effort to reduce carbon footprints is more

important than ever. Your clients want spaces that will protect the

products and people within them.

DuPont™ Corian® solid surfaces can contribute to sustainable design. The colors

in the Corian® Terra Collection are certified by Scientific Certification Systems

(SCS) to have a pre-consumer recycled content of at least 6%, and seven colors in

the Collection have at least 13% pre-consumer recycled content. Also, the

adhesives/sealants used for installation are GREENGUARD® Certified and proven

to be non-toxic and non-allergenic.

DuPont™ Zodiaq® quartz surfaces allow you to earn LEED credits and preserve

the environment at the same time. The Zodiaq® Terra Collection colors are made

with at least 50% pre-consumer recycled glass content.

keep NOISE out

Noise is pollution. With rising awareness among building owners, there has

been a surge in construction defect claims related to sound. Occupants of

buildings today are demanding quiet spaces in which to work and live.

Quiet Solution Soundproofing systems offer better performance, and lower

overall costs than other construction methods. Quiet Solution reduces noise,

contributing to a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment. A single sheet

of QuietRock® is equivalent, acoustically, to eight sheets of standard drywall.

design with SAFETY in mind

When the lights go out, how will you get out? More and more, building

occupants are using stairwells as a means of transportation between floors.

These spaces, originally designed as a backup to elevators, are becoming the

preferred method of travel. Are the stairwells in the buildings you design safe

in the light and in the dark?

Lumonall™ photoluminescent products offer the safest, most reliable egress in

an emergency. Lumonall™ Exit signs use zero energy and require no bulb

changes. Lumonall’s newest offering, EZXIT™ stair nosing, combines the benefits

of no slip aluminum stair surfacing with photoluminescent edging for the

ultimate in stairwell safety.

affordable HIGHPERFORMANCE aesthetics

When your project is complete, will the building

owner, the occupants, and visitors see the "WOW"

factor in your design? How can you make beautiful

designs affordable in an ever changing economy?

Nichiha Fiber cement offers your clients the

look of masonry without the cost and

installation time. Not only are Nichiha fiber

cement products easy to install and long-lasting,

they create dramatic visual impact.

Soterra™ Natural Stone Systems offer marble

and granite at a more affordable price. The thin

marble and granite panels of the Soterra™ system

can be used to line elevator cabs, floors, and

walls, and creates a final look that exudes luxury.
