A newly redesigned 2009 catalog from Moon Township, Pa.-based CENTRIA provides architects with detailed information about CENTRIA’s existing product lines, such as Formawall Dimension Series, Versawall/Versapanel, FormaBond, Profile Series, SRS Roof Systems and a wide selection of metal accessories. The catalog has been updated to include CENTRIA’s newest products, including MetalWrap, SolarCrest and Formawall PE vertical seal plate. The catalog features project photos, as well as illustrations of CENTRIA’s products and line drawings of specifications to further help architects with their design decisions. “As our existing product line continues to grow and evolve, we also continue to develop innovative products to meet this goal. As such, we’ve updated our 2009 product catalog to keep architects informed about all of the ways metal can be used in their upcoming projects,” said Julie Pawuk, marketing communications manager for CENTRIA. CENTRIA also recently released a brochure entitled EcoCENTRIA, which highlights the company’s long history and involvement in the sustainability movement and details the benefits it and its customers have realized through sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. “At CENTRIA, sustainability is nota trend, it’s the way we do business,” said Rick Brow, director of marketing for CENTRIA. “For more than 100 years, we’ve been a leader and advocate of sustainability in the commercial building industry by providing long-lasting, high-performance metal building products. Our ongoing mission is to meet the sustainability needs of our customers by putting innovative ideas into action. Our efforts include researching the use of alternative raw materials, implementing specialized manufacturing processes and, of course, developing products that perform to reduce carbon footprints.” Call (800) 759-7474 to request copies of the catalog and brochure.
