Caulking Blades
Arbortech USA
Leominster, Mass.
Arbortech's new caulking blades offer combined cutting and grinding action for faster caulk removal. The carbide- tipped blades are used with Arbortech's AS170 brick and mortar saw to remove caulking, while simultaneously grinding both sides of the expansion joint. This leaves a clean surface ready for re-caulking and replaces traditional methods, such as the pipe knife or the single-bladed machines, both of which require cutting both sides of the caulking before grinding the sides to remove residual material. The blades are available in 1/2-, one- and two-inch sizes, and are constructed of carbide and steel.

Sustainably Manufactured Thru-Wall Units
CalStar Products
Newark, Calif.
CalStar Products offers a Thru-Wall unit that combines the structural properties of standard concrete block with the preferred aesthetic of a traditional brick wall.

The dual-sided units feature both a flat face for a classic, 16- inch appearance, and a notched face to fill with mortar, for the look of 8-inch bricks.
