A method of manufacturing a coated article comprises injecting a feedstock with a polymer resin to provide a resin-injected feedstock, pulling the resin-injected feedstock through a pultrusion die to form a pultrusion substrate having one or more profile surfaces, adhering an adhesive material comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane onto at least a portion the one or more profile surfaces to form one or more adhesive tie layers on the pultrusion substrate, and applying one or more coating materials onto the one or more adhesive tie layers to form one or more coating layers on the one or more adhesive tie layers to provide a coated pultrusion article, wherein an adhesion strength between the one or more coating layers and the one or more adhesive tie layers is higher than a corresponding adhesion strength would be between the one or more coating layers and the pultrusion substrate.

Coating system and method

A pole reinforcement system and method for improving the stability of a pole with both an above-grade and below-grade installation. The pole reinforcement system generally includes a sleeve assembly which is secured around a pole via one or more retainers which may comprise brackets, securing bands, or other structures. One or more insertion attachments are utilized so that the sleeve assembly may be secured to the pole at a position below-grade. The sleeve assembly may comprise one or more sleeves which are secured around the pole. By utilizing the present invention to reinforce the pole both above- and below-grade, the stability of the pole may be greatly improved over prior reinforcement methods.

A building product for attachment to a surface of a building includes a plurality of siding members, and a plurality of spacers, wherein the siding members and spacers are assembled to resemble a plurality of individual siding shingles.

Siding system

A structural building component includes a pultruded member adapted to be used as a structural frame member of a building.

Structural wall building product

A composite framing member especially suited for use as a stile in a stile and rail door or window assembly. The framing member includes a hollow member, preferably manufactured from a fiberglass reinforced plastic. The hollow member is overlayed with two wood edge inserts and two wood overlays to give the appearance of a solid wood door or window assembly. The edge inserts include surfaces which are coplanar with the longitudinal surfaces of the hollow member, and the overlays are affixed to both the longitudinal surfaces and the coplanar surfaces of the edge inserts to provide added strength at glue lines. The composite framing member further provides a passage within which a locking mechanism may be disposed, yet not visible or accessible, which gives added security.
