KitchenAid. A new series of built-in appliances completes the KitchenAid Architect Series II suite. The suite combines the durability and performance of the original Architect Series with a cohesive style, consistent design, and advanced product features, the maker says. Handles are easier to grip, even with an oven mitt, and beveled, seamless edges make cleaning easier. 800.253.3977. www.insideadvantage.com.
Boise Engineered Wood Products. Engineered for tall walls and other applications requiring strong, straight framing materials, the Versa-Stud offers at least twice the bending strength and 20% more stiffness than No. 2 SPF 2-by-6 studs, according to the manufacturer. Featuring none of the checks, cracks, or twists common in solid lumber, the Versa-Stud comes in consistent dimensions — a 1½-inch width and five depths — to create squarer corners and flatter, more plumb walls. 208.384.6161. www.bc.com.

Glass units are available in four sizes: 24½ by 65 inches, 24½ by 49 inches, 24½ by 34 inches, and 8 by 65 inches. 800.253.3900. www.odl.com.

Royal Mouldings. From the Porch Collection, Portico is a soft blue ceiling planking that comes pre-finished with solid color throughout.

Portico offers a lifetime guarantee against rot, and features a unique nail fin for a nail-free face that installs 16 inches on-center. The moisture-proof material never needs replacement, the maker says. 800.368.3117. www.royalmouldings.com.

KOMA Trimboards. To keep the materials from being damaged or soiled while in transit or on the jobsite, order KOMA trim products with optional protective plastic wrapping.
