From Roof to Deck, The 2006 New Southern Home is Covered in Elk

Elk innovations are on display at the Florida Homebuilders
Association's "2006 New Southern Home" -- a showcase home featuring
the latest homebuilding technologies at the 28th Annual Southeast
Builders Conference in Orlando, FL. The architects on the project
chose Elk's Prestique(R) Grande(R) hybrid shingles to top off the
house and CrossTimbers(TM) composite decking for the outdoor area.
Tough enough to withstand the harsh Florida elements, these two
product lines are a perfect fit for the New Southern Home.
Technologies in both Elk's laminated shingles and composite decking
allow for conservation of raw materials. Elk Prestique Grande
hybrid shingles with the signature High Definition(R) look are made
with a patented new VersaShield(R) XP(TM) headlap technology. In
standard laminated asphalt shingle construction, the headlap and
shingle are manufactured as one piece and made with fiberglass,
asphalt and granules. The headlap portion is ultimately covered up
when the shingles are installed. Elk's mission was to create a
shingle that would conserve asphalt and granules in the headlap,
while still providing protection against the elements. The result
is a hybrid shingle product with a headlap made from a durable,
non-asphaltic material that is UL(R) Class "A" fire-rated and Metro
Dade approved. Combining recycled oak and sturdy polypropylene, Elk
CrossTimbers decking is an extremely low maintenance decking
product with no sealing and staining required -- even in the hot
Florida sun. Elk's RailWays(TM) Traditional Series, a composite
railing product made to look like classic, painted white wood
completes the deck. "The New Southern Home, which is a component of
the 2006 Southeast Building Conference, is the perfect place to
display Elk's innovative building products," said J. Emmett Reed,
CAE, Executive Vice President of the Florida Home Builders
Association. "The 17,000 home building professionals attending SEBC
will have the opportunity to tour the New Southern Home and see
Elk's great products first hand." The New Southern Home began in
1988 to celebrate great architectural design and to showcase new
technologies. The 2006 project is being built by MWA Builders and
will be on display at the Southeast Building Conference at the
Orange County Convention Center August 3-5, 2006. The home will be
open to the public beginning August 6, 2006. For more information
