Hatfield, PA – Laminators Incorporated introduces a new Dry Seal Installation System that can be used when installing its Omega-Lite^® aluminum composite material (ACM) panels.

The Dry Seal Installation System features a “deep reveal” look similar to the company’s Rout & Return system, but relies on gravity to remove water instead of sealing the joints with caulk. 

In addition to alleviating the need for caulking the joints, Laminators’ Dry Seal Installation System was designed as a high-performance, pressure-equalized rainscreen wall (PERSW) system that results in a balance of differential pressure on the inside and outside faces of the exterior cladding, compartmentalizes the air cavity, allows water and moisture to drain from the system reducing the chance for moisture related issues, and allows air to enter to dry out the wall cavity, while preserving the insulation values.

Hatfield, PA – Laminators Incorporated introduces its new Omega TerraMax^™, a rigid paper composite board with a lightweight honeycomb core that is environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.  TerraMax is a high-quality, cost-effective solution for interior digital print applications. 

The honeycomb-designed core is constructed from 100% recycled paper, while the faces are made from 100% virgin fiber from FSC-certified renewable forests, making TerraMax a responsible alternative to foam boards and other “non-green” products. 

Due to its smooth, double-sided, bright white surface, TerraMax is the ideal solution for interior signage, point of purchase, exhibition displays, kiosks, framing, mounting and other creative applications. 

The product comes from Laminators Inc., an established manufacturer in the sign industry for over 45 years and is available in 4’ x 8’ panels, 10mm thick, and packaged 10 panels per carton.

 Omega-Lite® wall panels contribute to project’s use of innovative materials

 Hatfield, PA – Ocean Gateway is a 15,000 square-foot marine passenger terminal located in Portland, Maine that accommodates the international ferry traffic between Portland and Nova Scotia.  One of the goals of the Ocean Gateway project was to incorporate innovative materials and products on the terminal while continuing to embrace the historical heritage setting of the city’s waterfront.   Ocean Gateway, designed by BEA Architects of Miami, Florida and Winton Scott Architects of Portland, Maine, achieved this goal and received a Building of America Award which recognizes imaginative, unique, innovative and dynamic projects in New England.
