I’m fresh back from the AWCI INTEX show in Las Vegas, where professionals, product reps and manufacturers gather to gamble and drink booze, err, I mean make new connections and find leads on new products and methods. The show went well, with the Ceilume Crew (myself and Ed) manning the booth for two days, and a total of about 9 hours.
Connections were made, products presented, and pretzels consumed. Over all, it was a good show, except that the show floor was split between two convention halls that were seperated by a 15 minute walk through Casinos, restaurants and specialty shops. In an effort to help out our brethren of the second, more elusive exhibit hall, here are a few interesting companies and manufacturers we ran into:
Poraver – Manufacturers of glass bead additive used to lighten heavy masonry and gypsum work, along with many other applications. Glass bead is a great way to recycle otherwise unusable glass waste and cut down on virgin material use.
Owens Corning – Makers of our ever favorite Rigid Foam Insulation, which allows you to add insulation above lightweight ceiling tiles without resting added weight on the tiles themselves.
Sound Seal – Makers of fine acoustical wood ceiling tiles.
Panolam Industries – Offers a wide variety of surfacing solutions to fit just about any need you can come up with. Their range of products includes Fiberglass Reinforced Laminate and Plastics, Thermally Fused Malamine (TFM) panels, and High Pressure Laminates (HPL).
It was a glorious two days and now it is done. See ya next year, Interior-Finish-o-philes!!
