GE Plastics announces HGTVPro names Centerpoint roofing system must have product
Centerpoint’s new translucent roofing system, formed from GE multiwall polycarbonate plastics sheet, is a must have building product for 2006 according to Scripps Networks.
HGTVPro.com, Scripps Networks’ innovative online network for building professionals, has named Centerpoint’s new translucent roofing system a “must-have product†for the building & construction industry for 2006. The announcement was made on Dec. 7, 2005 and the new product is now being featured on the HGTVPro.com website. The new roofing system is formed from GE’s Lexan* Thermoclear* multiwall polycarbonate (PC) sheet – a material based on GE’s tough, virtually unbreakable Lexan resin – which provides full-spectrum, natural light and significantly improved aesthetics, comfort, and energy efficiency for the residential new-construction market.
According to HGTVPro.com four criteria were used to make its selection of must-have products for 2006. These included: 1. The product was truly innovative in the way it solved a problem in design or production; 2. Although the product may have been based on existing technology, it needed to take another step toward meeting a newly identified building industry challenge or need; 3. The product had won an award as “Best New Product†at a national trade show; and 4. The product makes people say, “Why didn’t someone think of this before?”. A total of 16 products were selected.
Centerpoint’s patent-pending roofing structure is designed to allow penetration of natural, filtered daylight into living areas without the energy loss and higher heating and cooling costs of glass roofing inserts.
