Philadelphia’s 1706 Rittenhouse Square is an 183,384-square-foot luxury condominium located just steps away from Rittenhouse Square, the Kimmel Center, and the shops and galleries of Walnut Street. Set on a picturesque street, 1706 offers its residents easy access to the cultural heartbeat of Philadelphia. Wausau Window and Wall Systems’ windows and doors frame these urban views and welcome the natural light and fresh air into the 31 homes within this building. Wausau’s presence in the neighborhood also includes windows and doors provided at 10 Rittenhouse Square, 1820 Rittenhouse Square and the Curtis Institute of Music.

The $140 million project represents a shared vision between Cope Linder Architects, Scannapieco Development Corporation and Joe Zuriksky, whose family owned the parking lot on which 1706 is built. This resulting 31-story, Modern design structure features 4,200-square-foot full-floor residences.

In total, GMI Incorporated, Inc., installed 50,475 square feet of Wausau’s 4250 Series fixed and project-out awning windows, plus project-in Terrace Doors with sidelites. Part of the Advantage by Wausau line of competitively priced, standard products, the nearly 300 operable windows and 66 pairs of doors not only allow for views and daylight, but also provide a seasonal opportunity for natural ventilation. Engineered to meet or exceed the industry’s stringent requirements for forced entry, air infiltration and structural integrity, these products are backed with up to a 10-year limited warranty.

Contributing to the project’s durability and cohesive aesthetics, Linetec finished the windows’ and doors’ 4.5-inch-deep aluminum frames in a three-coat 70 percent PVDF resin-based coating. A custom Pewter color was used. The screens were painted to match.

On the interior, the homes at 1706 include custom cabinetry, restaurant-grade appliances, hardwood flooring and huge closets. The building also features Philadelphia’s first fully automated parking garage, designed by Parkway Corporation, where resident’s cars are stored and retrieved automatically in less than 90 seconds. Other amenities include a private garden with koi pond, a boardroom with catering kitchen, a fitness center with sauna and hot tub, a 42-foot lap pool and a town car with driver for use by the residents along with a 24-hour concierge.

The high-profile residence immediately drew the spotlight when it opened in 2010 and continues to attract attention, as 1706 Rittenhouse remains a prestigious address today. “Many buyers have stated that were it not for 1706, they would not have decided to move into the city,” said Paula Celletti-Baron, vice president of sales and marketing for the property. Amongst its accolades, the Urban Land Institute recognized the property in 2011 as one of the Top 20 Buildings in North & South America.

Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum has acquired Enquirer Printing’s collection of nearly 500 rare circus, fair and carnival posters, plus approximately 1,500 hand-carved printing plates; more than 5,000 pieces of large wood type; and related correspondence. The Anderson family of Cincinnati founded Enquirer Printing in 1895 and continuously has archived the extensive collection. As the company no longer provides letterpress printing, the family agreed to sell the collection to Hamilton. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

John and Robyn Horn, The West Foundation, Mark Simonson and other friends of the museum generously donated funding for this acquisition.

“It is exceptionally unusual to have such a complete collection of historic, beautifully printed, excellently preserved materials remain in the hands of a single, original owner for 120 years. The level of craftsmanship required to care these plates is extremely rare, as is their importance to an intact collection,” explains museum artistic director Bill Moran, who helped negotiate the terms of the sale.

Enquirer Printing’s co-owner and fourth-generation printer, Mike Anderson, adds, “We’re excited to see our family’s printing legacy preserved at Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. Our great-grandfather Harry Anderson would be proud to know our story will continue to be told.”

The acquisition from Enquirer Printing doubles the number already in the museum’s vast collection of 1.5 million pieces of wood and thousands of printing plates. “Every day as we accelerate into a screen-saturated society, items from our past that celebrate process will be as important as the product, and must be preserved. Hamilton is doing its part with the acquisition of the exquisite collection of type and unique woodblocks from Enquirer Printing in Cincinnati,” says Jim Sherraden, master printer at Nashville’s Hatch Show Print.

In 2006, Hamilton acquired the Globe Printing plate collection from Chicago-based Frank Zimmermann. The mostly mid-20th century type and 2,000 one-of-a-kind, hand-carved printing plates arrived at the museum on 32 pallets, which were carefully unpacked and catalogued. The first images from the collection were available for sale nearly three years following the acquisition in 2009.

“Once available, the Globe Printing collection had an immediate impact that drew diverse local and global audiences to the museum. It also led Target Corporation to enlist us in a licensing agreement to create the ‘Cool Never Fades’ clothing campaign in 2012,” notes Moran.

Anticipating a similar, positive response and widespread attraction to the Enquire Printing acquisition, Hamilton’s staff plans to share examples of the circus posters as soon as possible. Moran continues, “We intend to immediately begin printing with these plates and creating restrikes of these rare blocks. This job will be made significantly easier because the thousands of previously printed samples from Enquirer Printing’s archive provides us with an invaluable documentation of the printing process and the artistic considerations that went into advertising art of the early 20th century.”

Poster art themes range from monkeys and tigers on exhibit, to performance acts under the big top, to “Believe It or Not” world-famous oddities. Along with the collection of plates, type and posters, the museum also now will be responsible for approximately 600 pieces of incoming correspondence from Enquirer Printing customers dating back to the 1900s. Moran elaborates, “These letters provide a unique insight into the day-to-day operations of a commercial print shop, as well as the logistics related to traveling circuses and the costs of promoting these shows.”

Major circuses, including Ringling Brothers, Clyde Beatty and Cole Brothers are represented in this correspondence. Hamilton has partnered with the Newberry Library in Chicago, which will house the correspondence in the John M. Wing Printing History Collection.

ROCKFON® LLC, a subsidiary of Denmark-based ROCKWOOL International A/S and affiliate to ROXUL® Inc., has confirmed plans to build its first North American acoustic ceiling panel manufacturing facility in the U.S. The facility will be located in Marshall County, Mississippi, approximately 31 miles (50 km) from Memphis, Tennessee.

The new ROCKFON facility represents an initial investment of approximately $40 million U.S. dollars (€36 million) by the ROCKWOOL Group. The Group has more than 11,000 employees in 35 countries and is listed on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange. ROCKWOOL International A/S made the announcement on the Copenhagen stock exchange on Nov. 19, 2015.

“This investment and new facility further demonstrates ROCKWOOL’s commitment to, and development of, the North American market,” said John Medio, ROCKFON’s president of the Americas. “The Mississippi facility will be ROCKFON’s fifth manufacturing facility in the world, extending global capacity and meeting the growing demand for ROCKFON’s stone wool acoustic ceiling products in North America.”

Construction on ROCKFON’s first U.S. manufacturing facility will begin in early 2016, with production expected to begin mid-2017. The site allows room for future expansion. ROCKFON is working closely with the State of Mississippi, Marshall County, and local authorities to ensure that this project is designed and constructed to meet or exceed building code and environmental standards. Once completed, the new ROCKFON facility is anticipated to span 130,000 square feet (12,000 square meters).

In North America, the ROCKWOOL Group operates under the name ROXUL. ROXUL has been in North America since 1988. ROCKFON’s new facility will be adjacent to ROXUL’s existing facility in Marshall County, Mississippi, which manufactures its full line of residential, commercial, industrial and roof board products.

ROCKFON has been operating in North America since Jan. 2013. With the acquisition of Chicago Metallic® in Oct. 2013, ROCKFON provides customers with a complete ceiling system. Its product offering combines ROCKFON stone wool and specialty metal ceiling panels with Chicago Metallic suspension systems.

The new facility in Mississippi will manufacture ROCKFON stone wool acoustic ceiling products. ROCKFON will continue to manufacture its specialty metal ceiling panels and Chicago Metallic suspension systems in its Chicago and Baltimore facilities. Chicago Metallic suspension systems also are manufactured in Belgium, Malaysia and China. ROCKFON’s other stone wool manufacturing facilities are located in the Netherlands, Poland, France and Russia.

ROCKFON’s new manufacturing facility in Mississippi and its strategically positioned U.S. distribution centers will provide for comprehensive coverage and servicing of the North American market.

Office interiors across the globe benefit from the design, acoustics, indoor air quality, lighting and fire safety of ROCKFON® stone wool ceiling panels and complementary specialty metal ceiling panels and ceiling suspension systems. Featuring workplace projects from across the world, ROCKFON shares Office Spaces: Ceiling Solutions to Help People Reach New Heights. The new 12-page publication is available free for download at www.rockfon.com.

“The choices made in surfaces, color, size and profiles have a profound impact on people’s workdays and can make a positive impact on the mood of a space,” says Chris Marshall, ROCKFON’s vice president of marketing and business development in North America. “Along with our smooth white panels, we offer an expansive color palette.  Choose from a breadth of panels, sizes and patterns to better define areas and functions in a particular space, or create a unique look by spanning planks across entire corridors. With our variety of edge options, you can create a layout that lifts the whole performance of a room — and the people in it.”

He continues, “Trends in office building design feature more workers occupying increasingly less office space with no sound barriers between them. The days of private offices are for the most part a luxury of the past. Adaptive reuse of cavernous spaces, open collaboration layouts, large dining and recreation areas adjacent to work areas and the constant sound of office equipment are all contributing to increased noise levels and difficulty concentrating.”

To inhibit office noise from traveling through an open space and disturbing people, a highly sound absorptive ceiling typically is required. Due to its open porous structure, stone wool is a high-performing, sound-absorptive material used to manufacture ROCKFON ceiling panels, baffles and islands and imbued with excellent noise reduction capabilities.

Marshall notes, “In rooms or areas where small to large groups of people gather to hear a presentation or videoconference with colleagues on another continent, efficient communication can only be accomplished with low reverberance, lack of echoes and high speech intelligibility. In other words, sound control with high-performing, sound-absorptive ceilings. ROCKFON ceiling solutions reach the highest class in sound absorption for optimum speech intelligibility.”

In addition to acoustic performance, ROCKFON ceiling systems also help improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in offices. Stone wool offers no nutritional value, making it naturally resistant to harmful bacteria and molds that cause skin infections, pneumonia and other airborne illnesses. ROCKFON’s extensive portfolio of stone wool acoustic ceiling solutions has earned UL® Environment’s GREENGUARD Gold Certification for low-emitting products.

“The health benefits of improved IAQ and increased natural light in the workplace include higher productivity and fewer lost workdays, as well as a more positive morale,” adds Marshall. “Our white ceilings reflect up to 86 percent of available light, dispersing natural light more effectively. The better distribution of light means offices can lower their light loads and reduce cooling costs.”

Along with energy efficiency, ROCKFON stone wool ceiling products are made from basalt rock and contain up to 43 percent recycled material. Combined with the benefits of light reflectance, acoustic performance and mold-resistance, the products contribute to office projects’ sustainable goals including those seeking LEED® certification.

Helping further protect workers’ health and safety, stone wool withstands temperatures up to 2150ºF (1177ºC). It does not melt, burn or create significant smoke. These attributes help improve overall fire safety and limit building damage. Durable and low-maintenance, ROCKFON stone wool ceiling products supplied in North America are supported with a 30-year warranty.

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) is partnering with the Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC), an industry-based, nonprofit corporation in Fairbanks, Alaska, created to facilitate the development, use and testing of energy-efficient, durable, healthy and cost-effective building technologies for people living in circumpolar regions around the globe. Effective immediately, AAMA will serve as an Inspection Agency (IA) for residential windows – the first addition to CCHRC’s Certified Alaska Tough® (CAT) program.

CCHRC created the CAT program to certify and promote high-performance building products for extremely cold climates. According to Colin Craven, a building science researcher at CCHRC, the program is not intended to duplicate or compete with existing certification programs; instead, its goal is to build upon these programs by highlighting the most high-performing “Alaska Tough” products on the market.

By becoming an IA for the CAT program, AAMA will help CCHRC promote the use of high quality residential windows, while simultaneously giving AAMA certification program licensees the opportunity to showcase their most highly performing products intended for extreme northern climates.

Program Requirements

To participate in the Certified Alaska Tough program, products must meet the following requirements:
* Be listed in the Certified Products Directories of AAMA and the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC)
* Have a U-factor of 0.20 or less
* Obtain a Performance Grade of PG 45 or higher, per North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS) -08 or -11
* Achieve an air infiltration rate of ≤0.1 cubic foot per minute (cfm) per square foot for operable products and ≤0.04 cfm per square foot for fixed windows

Details for Licensees

Products meeting these requirements are eligible for certification. Licensees in the program can use the CAT mark and will be listed on the Certified Alaska Tough program website.

For those licensees participating in the program, AAMA will perform one inspection per year in conjunction with a regularly scheduled AAMA certification program inspection to verify that the products listed as Certified Alaska Tough are being built as they were tested and that the label is being applied only to authorized products.

“CAT certification criteria may interest customers anywhere, not just in the Alaska market; Canada and northern regions of the U.S. also can benefit from these highly qualified products,” says Jason Seals, AAMA Certification Manager.

For more information on how to participate, contact the CCHRC directly, at 907-457-3454 or via email at CertifiedAlaskaTough@CCHRC.org, or visit the AAMA website’s section about the program.
