Dear Interested Person,
This letter is to introduce the
ICC-ES approved STYRO-loc®,
a unique, patented system
for cost effectively anchoring sheet metal caps to parapet shapes. By
incorporating an integrated metal insert into the foam, STYRO-loc®
creates a channel to which the sheet metal cap is securely anchored.
General Contractors have recommended and implemented STYRO-loc®
in the field because it’s unique fastening design eliminates problematic
warping associated with plywood and framing members. You will also find
it beneficial since its componentry simplifies alignment, increases
the structural integrity of the foam and virtually eliminates warped
cap flashing.
When Ramtech Laboratories, Inc. conducted tests at our
request, this system produced astounding results (please see their June
1, 1998 report in the attached binder). It was determined that the average
load of STYRO-loc®
can withstand before surface indentation occurs is 1,700 pounds. The average
ultimate failure did n ot occur until the ends were subjected to 3,200
pounds and the interior was subjected to 6,330 pounds. We always had confidence
in our product’s design and load capabilities, but these results
have exceeded all of our expectations.
After our extensive research and development in producing
the STYRO-loc®
system, we sought and obtained protection with a U.S. patent. Therefore,
STYRO-loc®
will become the standard for the industry since the patent covers any
kind of integrated componentry. This benefits all concerned since strict
quality control ensures consistency. The STYRO-loc®
stamp at the end of each shape indicates it has passed inspection. With
its registered trademark, STYRO-loc®
is here to stay.
The STYRO-loc®
system is available exclusively from FOAM CONCEPTS, Inc.
For nearly a decade, we have been dedicated to designing and manufacturing
architectural shaped moldings for commercial, residential, and custom
jobs. Let us help you incorporate the STYRO-loc®
system by producing drawings or assisting in the specification of the
system. Our guarantee of complete satisfaction to you will enable you
to pass on the same guarantee to your clients.
The attached literature and test results regarding
FOAM CONCEPTS, Inc. and the unmatched performance
of the system will provide you with useful information. Please do not
hesitate to call with any questions or to schedule a meeting with us
to discuss how the STYRO-loc®
system can be a value-added benefit to you and your projects. Also for
current updated information – visit our web site at www.styro-loc.com
We have the ICC ES report ER-5628 for the STYRO-loc® system which
was issued March 1 2004 available upon request. And finally we are proud
to announce that we produced in excess of 100,000
linear feet of STYRO-loc®
shapes a year .
Sincerely,
Steve Ross
President
