VersaDry Track System

O HIGH-TECH BELLS AND WHISTLES here, just old-fashioned engineering.
This system solves one of the most common problems with below-grade
basement remodeling—mold and mildew growth at the base of drywall after
N even the mildest flooding.
The galvanized tracks simply create a space at
floor level to keep drywall out of harm’s way. And
of course, they could also be used with other types
of water-resistant sheeting, such as recycled plastic
and magnesium oxide (see extremegreen, above).
VersaDry is available to accommodate drywall
sizes up to 5/8 inches thick, and in a double-sided
wall version. The wall can thus still achieve up to a
two-hour fire rating. It offers numerous options for
LEED v4 credits, including Eqp2—Enhanced Indoor

Garage Doors

HEN HURRICANES THREATEN, one way to
reinforce garage doors is to insert posts behind the
door until after the storm has passed. But Clopay

winds and flying debris in mind. The company’s WindCode
line of garage doors are tested under ASTM E330 for uniform
static air pressure. Doors are assigned to specific homes in
CREDIT: CLOPAY different regions, based on the response to several questions.
Clopay assigns a WindCode “W” rating to their doors, based
on code requirements determined by wind speed in miles per
hour (MPH), home exposure and home structural type. W1, for
example is good for winds up to 85 mph, while W7 can handle
150 mph winds.
