Texas Architect 25 7/8 2016 Products by Rita Catinella Orrell These products for outdoor spaces — from a stylish aluminum pergola to slip-resistant ceramic floor tiles — must be durable enough to withstand the elements as well as the end users. LED Step Lights CSL www.csllighting.com CSL’s LED step light collection offers safe illumination to well- traveled outside areas in residential or com- mercial projects, while providing energy- efficient illumination via zero-maintenance Cree LEDs and integral drivers. The step lights feature nine distinct profiles in bronze, silver metallic, and white finishes, and are able to withstand the high temperatures and strong sun of the Southwest. Concrete & Corten Planters Form and Fiber formandfiber.com Form and Fiber designs and manufactures concrete and Corten steel modern planters in Texas for designers and architects working on commercial exterior and interior projects. The precast concrete planters come in a standard natural gray or a choice of integral color pigment from Davis Colors. The company does not stock inventory, but handcrafts each order in the style, size, color, and quantity for the project. Collections include the Boardform Series of precast concrete in two joint options, and a range of pre-cast concrete and Corten steel designs. Renson’s Algarve pergola is a simple and practical terrace cover- ing that offers a sun protection roof system based on rotating blades. The extruded aluminum blades rotate up to 150° to control how much sun protection or ventila- tion is provided. When closed, the blades form a waterproof roof in normal showers while a gutter system drains the rainwater away toward the columns. The Algarve is avail- able in the full range of RAL colors, and its light, elegant design works with contempo- rary, traditional, and modern building styles. Algarve Pergola Ernest ernest-ny.com
