Barrier's private labeled Pyrotite® products, LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated OSB Sheathing in East Coast apartment complex

Another structural wall assembly project for Barrier’s Pyrotite® products (private labeled LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated OSB Sheathing) has been secured! This time the architect specified our products into Barrier’s UL wall assembly - U349 for a large apartment complex out on the East Coast. This design is built to meet a 2-hour rating and requires two-sided LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated Sheathing. The project, scheduled to begin soon, will require a couple rail car loads of material – 2011 is starting off well for the wall assembly market! Stay tuned as pictures of the material being installed may be yet to come in the near future.

Here are a couple pictures of a small scale prototype of the wall assembly:

November 2010 Sales Results

First before we get started with November sales results...here are a couple pictures of our beautiful snow piles:) from this latest blast. It won't be melting any time soon with the negative temperatures we are seeing now either.


On to the sales report...Barrier has released monthly revenue and sales volumes results for the period ending November 30, 2010. Overall revenue generated during the month is $304,031* vs. $266,719 during the same period in 2009 (*this amount is actually lower by approximately 24% from previous years total revenue as the pass through charges for both substrate and outbound freight have been reduced due to the Supply Agreement for treatment only with LP® Building Products) . Revenue into the Residential Roof Deck/Wall Assembly/Structural Insulated Panel Market during November was 415% higher than revenues into that market in November 2009. Monthly revenue attributable to the Commercial Modular industry decreased slightly (10%) vs. the comparable period in 2009.

Sales volume of shipments of Barrier products for the month of November 2010 was 579,800 sq. ft. This is an increase of 22% over the 475,300 sq. ft. that was shipped during November 2009. Sales into the Residential Roof Deck/Wall Assembly/Structural Insulated Panel market continue to grow year over year, as a result of our partnership with LP®. During the reporting period sales into this market increased significantly by 640%. Sales into the Commercial Modular sales decreased during the month (25%) over shipments in November 2009. Total combined sales volumes for the current year-to-date period (Jul-Nov 2010) are 67% higher (3,004,800 sq. ft. vs. 1,802,400 sq. ft.) over the comparable period in 2009. This reflects considerable increases in both the Commercial Modular and the Residential Roof Deck/Wall Assembly/Structural Insulated Panel markets (31% and 203%, respectively) fiscal year over year.
