When looking into this kind of home improvement, I always start with a quick look at McGraw Hill’s Sweet directory. They offer a truly useful listing of the products and manufacturers currently available, which is always an important place to start. In addition, I have always found the CAD details they offer, all of which are available for download, to be particularly helpful. Though I do work for them, I can honestly tell you that they have the most complete and useful directory of construction products I have been able to find. That is the reason I keep going back.
