Nichiha USA is elevating its continuing education unit offerings with a new course endorsed by the American Institute of Architects.

Nichiha USA, a premier provider of innovative building material solutions, has donated more than 2,500 square feet of its elegant Miraia architectural wall panels to students taking part in a special project at the University of Kansas.

Designing for moisture management and air holdout within a wall system can be a complicated business.

Plaster and drywall are both materials in competition with each other to be the finish for walls and ceilings. Plaster has far more history but is more expensive.

Sto Corp. announced that the company’s prefabrication division, StoPanel Technology, is now partnered with Swisspearl, the inventors of fiber cement panels. The two companies have teamed up to offer a continuous insulation system that uniquely combines the convenience and cost-effectiveness of offsite panel manufacturing with the look and feel of an innovative, contemporary aesthetic. 

Milwaukee Tool continues to build on its offering of cutting solutions with the introduction of a range of new wood-cutting circular saw blades, as well as new solutions specifically designed for fiber cement.
