  HeatTrak. The Residential Heated Walkway Mat helps reduce slip-and-fall accidents in snow and ice conditions by keeping walkways clear. Suitable for laying out on top of existing outdoor surfaces, such as turf and cement, the durable mats can be left outside throughout the winter. Each mat uses 300 watts and melts snow at a rate of two inches per hour, down to zero degrees Fahrenheit. The 20-by-60-inch mats feature watertight connector cables to cover larger areas. Up to five walkway mats, 18 safety treads, or a combination thereof can be connected to a single control unit, requiring a 120-volt outlet. Residential Walkway Mats are ideal for homeowners concerned with safety or who want to eliminate shoveling chores during the winter. Remodelers and other trades can also use the mats on jobsites for safe entry and exit during winter projects. 973.357.9797. www.heattrak.com.

  iLevel by Weyerhaeuser. Builders using wood floor I-joists now have a new product option. The TJI 560D series features greater depths (up to 24 inches) and is suitable for use in one-hour, single-layer fire separations, and for heavier-duty loads. Despite the added strength, TJI 560D joists are lightweight. They are also available in long lengths for greater versatility in floor plans. Engineered for high dimensional stability, the joists resist warping, twisting, and shrinking. TJI 560D joists can be directly substituted in projects desgined with the brand’s current 560 and 560T joists. 888.453.8358. www.ilevel.com.

  Margco. Designed with input from physical therapists, the Green Toad pivoting paintbrush combines a comfort-grip handle with a 360-degree pivoting brush head. The ergonomic design helps reduce strain and discomfort users often experience after holding a paintbrush for long periods of time. The rotating brush head locks in eight different positions, enabling brushing from any angle, and easier access to tight spots. The paint head can also be removed and replaced with a range of Green Toad attachments, including 1.5- and 2.5-inch tapered brushes; 2- and 3-inch straight brushes; and 4-, 6-, and 9-inch rollers. 877.399.8623. www.thegreentoad.net.
