Building Materials Resources

I'd like to ask for consideration to make this thread a sticky, please.

Since everyone is constantly asking for a location, distributor, etc., for different sources of materials, I thought it would be a good idea to put known sources of commonly sought after materials together.

Not a spam list, but a list that folks here have actually used, and that you would recommend to your mom, or your best friend.

Please list the company name, website, general materials they carry and any comments you may care to add.

Company Name
Speciality Products and Insulation
websiteWelcome to SPI - Specialty Products & Insulation Co.
Products
Mineral Wool, OC-703, OC-705 - plain and frk type, Fire Caulk
Comments
National distributor with branches all over the US. Great pricing. 1" through 4" Mineral Wool and OC products. 24"x48" sheets up to 48"x96". Can purchase as many, or as few sheets as you want.


Company Name
Sound Isolation Company
websiteSoundproofing Products and Materials for Ceiling, Walls and Floors | Sound Isolation Company
Products
Green Glue - Tubes and buckets, SilenSeal Caulk
Comments
Charlotte, NC based - Average Pricing, but usually have some sort of special.


Company Name
Saf Tool Company
websiteeBay Store - Saf Tools: Category 1, Category 2, Category 3
Products
Scaffolding
Comments
Based in NC, it's an eBay store, but their prices are pretty darned hard to beat. It was cheaper to buy a coupla' bucks of scaffolding from these guys than rent it.

Company Name
Contractor Tool Supplyl
websiteOSI Pro-Series SC-175™ White Acoustical Sound Sealant (1 Case) [OSI17529] - $44.29 : Contractors Tool Supply, Tools & Fasteners for the Construction Industry
Products
OSI SC-175 Acoustical Caulk
Comments
Usually the best price on OSI products in the US.

Company Name
Loomcraft Fabrics, Burlington, NC
websiteLoomcraft Textiles - Automotive and Decorative Fabrics
Products
IFR Automotive Fabric
Comments
They do not generally carry a certificate of compliance for their automotive fabrics, but you can ask for the manager, Ken, and he will get you one. BE SURE TO SPECIFY WHAT YOU NEED THE CERTIFICATE TO ADDRESS!

Colors are very limited to muted medium to dark greys and browns, but their prices are killer; about 2/3 the cost of GOM.
