C o n s t r u c t i o n M a r k e t p l a c e Tu e s d a y, J a n u a r y 1 9 , 2 0 1 6 7 2 most popular bodies, including its ServicePro and LandscaperPro. With more than 60 years of innova- tive design and quality construction experience to build on, Morgan's ServicePro promises quality and fulfills that promise with bodies that boast extraordinary durability, with enhanced options for a 1000-pound capacity ladder rack, 300-pound weight capacity roll out trays with ball bearing slides and 200- pound weight capacity heavy duty sta- tionary shelves. Recent enhancements also make impressive strides when it comes to improving efficiencies. "We've added features that essen- tially make our ServicePro a contractor's shop on wheels," said Morgan Regional Sales Manager, David Cavegn. "With increased durability and flexibility, Service Pro owners can transport more of what contractors need on any given day." Cavegn also emphasized the impact of that flexibility on profits. "Obviously, the ability to transport more of what you need at one time translates into efficien- cies that impact your bottom line," he Morgan (Cont'd. from p. 1) said. "There's also the added value that comes with making your jobs easier — just being able to access your tools, equipment and materials without a strug- gle. Return on investment can be meas- ured in more ways than one." Morgan's Bailment Pool Program is also attracting the interest of buyers who value quality and speed. "Our unique relationships with top OEM's make it possible for Morgan to deliver the best bodies in the business – fast," said Cavegn. "Not everyone can say that, but Morgan can." Cavegn went on to say that anyone in the market is likely to find IBS to be their best opportunity to explore their options. "The IBS makes it easy to compare our products to those of our competi- tion," he said. "There's no better way to understand the difference, than to see it and feel it for yourself. As far as we're concerned, first-hand experience is our best advertisement."

This includes hand made crafted veneers, as well as natural stone veneer. We don't really refer to ourselves as a stone veneer company, because some of our crafted veneers go beyond being just a recreation of stone. We supply a full suite of masonry veneer products. CM: As a new company, what has been the response to your products? ML: It's been great. We've only been in the marketplace for about a year and a half, but people are happy to see and wel- come a refreshed look. We provide very high-quality products, both aesthetically and technically; but also from an innova- tion point of view, we have come up with some great new products in both the tra- ditional and contemporary styles. CM: What kinds of innovations has your company made? ML: On the aesthetic side, we took a blank canvas type of approach to our product development, and looked for new shapes, new ways of crafting the stone in a way that would provide more uniqueness to our products, and also committed heavily to the art side of the business, meaning that we've made a huge commitment to our coloration and coloring techniques, to raise the bar to the next level of realism, of authenticity. We have also created some new and exciting products on the contemporary side. One that is getting a lot of attention is Board form, which picks up the texture of wood in concrete. It's a very cool look that we offer in five different colors. We also have several new products that pro- vide for a more rectilinear, very contem- porary look, offering many different tex- tures and colors. CM: Compare your products and their Creative Mines (Cont'd. from p. 1) technology to other products out there. ML: On the crafted side of the business, we have a very high-quality resource of aggre- gates. It's one of the finest pumice deposits in the world, from Idaho. This high-density, clean pumice is very light in contaminants. We use it in an aggregate size, where when you break our stone in half, it has a uniform appearance. With some of our competitors' products, when you break them in half you see a lot of different shapes and sizes of aggregate. This is important when the installers are fitting stones together and need to break one to make it fit. The visual sight of a bunch of aggregate is a dead give- away the stone is not real. The color uni- formity found inside Creative Mines prod- ucts is very unique in the industry. Another innovation, or actually more of a rediscovery, is that we use a natural poz- zolanic material in our concrete-based products, unlike our competitors, who use fly ash, which consists of smokestack byproducts. Both of these improve the quality of concrete, but the natural poz- zolanic material provides the best and high- est performance attributes. This is the same natural pozzolan material that was used to build the Parthenon and other structures, which are going strong today more than 2,000 years after construction. CM: How does your company fit into the marketplace? ML: Some luxury home builders are offer- ing products that may have been good 20 years ago, but they really don't stand up to today's standards of what's available. The more sophisticated home buyers and cus- tomers are going to recognize the differ- ence in the quality between what we pro- vide to the market and some of the stuff that's out there.

To keep them in place and for easy installation, they are self-adhering, and also self-sealing around construction fasteners to form a watertight barrier. The rubberized asphalt adhesive system will never crack or dry out, and these products are com- patible with common building materials. That means less questions and less has- sle. MFM Waterproofing products are rugged, made in the United States and competitively priced. The company's other product lines offer similar advan- tages.

MFM is also your go-to for water- proofing. SubSeal™ is an advanced 40 or 60 mil waterproofing membrane that is engineered to be a multi-purpose sheet suitable for above and below grade, as well as vertical or horizontal applications. These membranes are designed for extreme moisture protec- tion and can be used as through-wall flashings, on foundation walls, plaza and parking garages, and on features such as windows, sills, pot shelves and parapets. Plus, MFM offers both self-adhered and mechanically-attached window flashing tapes.
