Smart Safety Ear Muff
The Intrinsically Safe (IS) Smart Safety Ear Muff from Sensear delivers a total, high-noise communication solution, with world-class hearing protection and the ability to maintain situational awareness. SENS (speech enhancement, noise suppression) technology isolates and enhances speech, while suppressing dangerous background noise, so the smart muff allows for face-to-face communication, two-way radio interface, wireless Bluetooth connection to cellular phones, and ear muff-to-ear muff communication over short range distances. This is all performed without ever having to remove hearing protection.www.sensear.com
Drainage Mat for Brick, Stone Masonry Walls
Keene Building ProductsMayfield Heights, Ohio
Drainage Mat for Brick, Stone Masonry Walls
A masonry wall needs an air space free of mortar and other debris to properly drain and ventilate. If moisture builds up and the wall is unable to dry, problems such as cracking, deterioration and efflorescence may occur. The CAV-AIR-ATOR protects against moisture issues in masonry applications by providing an unobstructed air space for drainage and ventilation. The full wall drainage and ventilation mat for full brick or stone masonry walls prevents mortar from entering the cavity, clinging to wall ties or blocking weep holes.www.keenebuilding.com
