Track One: No need for bulky bottom-rail systems with the VSW65 Single Track Slider. The wood-framed, sliding-door system allows individual panels to slide out of the way to create large openings. The system can be configured with a maximum individual panel width of 4 feet and a maximum height of 9 feet 10 inches and can be stored in a choice of four parking bays or a pocket closet. It comes in wood or aluminum cladding with multi-point locking hardware. NanaWall Systems. 800-873-5673. www.nanawall.com.

Standard Pacific released first-quarter earnings post market close last night that beat Wall Street analysts' posted predictions. After a near brush with death in 2008, and life-support from MatlinPatterson's real estate funds, Standard Pacific's strategic, operational, and tactical planning and execution are playing well in what continues to be an adverse market environment in most of its competitive arenas.
