At Merillat, we strive to give homeowners exactly what they want.
That’s why when homeowners told us they wanted the area under their sink to be durable and easy to clean, we came up with the Merillat CoreGuard™ Sink Base — a smart solution that helps to protect your kitchen investment.
This revolutionary sink base cabinet is made of an engineered polymer material that helps protect against common under-sink damage that can be caused by minor leaks, drops and spills. It’s durable, requires minimal maintenance and alerts homeowners of minor leaks and spills.
If you are sick and tired of the mess you’ve got going on down under your sink, then CoreGuard™ is right for you – and now is the time to do something about it with our Down Under Promotion.
What’s the Down Under Promotion?
When you purchase Merillat Classic® kitchen cabinetry and include a CoreGuard™ Sink Base in your new kitchen, you become eligible for a $100 mail-in rebate! However, time is running out. This great deal ends May 28, so be sure to visit a Merillat dealer by you today.
Visit your local Merillat dealer or browse Merillat.com for more information about how to make your dream kitchen a reality.

Merillat was hard to miss at the recent Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) Las Vegas. We had a lot of fun showing off the latest functional product innovations and showing booth visitors how they can make life in the kitchen easier.
Attendees couldn’t resist stopping by the booth to check out the displays and participate in activities. In the innovation zone we featured our latest products, the CoreGuard™ Sink Base, a smart solution that helps keep the cabinetry under your sink dry and clean. We also gave a sneak peak of two products that will be available soon: CornerStore™, a solution to bring more storage and easy accessibility to the challenging corner cabinet area, and the CoreGuard™ Vanity, like the kitchen sink base, but special for the bathroom.
If you’re like many homeowners, you don’t think much about the area under your sink. Or, when you do it’s because you discovered a minor leak or spill that caused staining or other damage.
Well, at Merillat we’ve been thinking about the area under the sink – we’ve been thinking about it a lot! And this is how we came up with the new CoreGuardTM Sink Base cabinet. It helps protect against under-sink damage, alerting you of minor leaks and keeping cabinets stain free. It’s durable and an overall great investment to add to your kitchen.
And because we think it’s so cool, we want to get the word out and build excitement around this innovative new product. So, we’re launching the Merillat Down Under Promotion.
What’s the Down Under Promotion?
When you purchase Merillat Classic® cabinetry and include a CoreGuard™ Sink Base in your new kitchen, you become eligible for a $100 mail-in rebate! The promotion runs until May 28, 2011 at any participating Merillat dealer.

To say last week was busy would be an understatement. Why was it so busy? Merillat was one of the standout exhibitors at the largest building products trade show in the world, the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando. During the event, which ran from January 12-14, we had a lot of fun showing off how Merillat makes life in the kitchen easier.
For example, with our three latest products in the innovation zone, passersby couldn’t resist stopping in to check out the CoreGuard™ Sink Base, a smart solution that helps keep cabinetry dry and clean, and CornerStore™, a solution to bring more storage and easy accessibility to the challenging corner cabinet area. We also gave a sneak peek of a product that will be available later this year, the CoreGuardTM Vanity. Like the CoreGuard kitchen application, this bathroom vanity also has drawers made from a durable engineered polymer and helps protect cabinetry.

Merillat is gearing up for the International Builder’s Show (IBS) taking place from January 12-14 in Orlando! There are a lot of exciting things we’ll be sharing with the trade show visitors, but here are a few of our favorites:
Our revolutionary CoreGuard TM Sink Base was such a hit in the kitchen, we took it into the bathroom. The new CoreGuardTM Vanity addresses issues specific to the bathroom — like moisture build up, stains and spills. What makes CoreGuardTM Vanity so different? The ridges on the floor are spaced closer together to address the smaller sizes of bottles in the bathroom vs. the kitchen and the vanity comes with the option of either two drawers or a tilt-out tray. This adds function, and since these are also made from engineered polymer, clean up is a breeze.
Making life in the kitchen easier is out top priorities, so Merillat has tackled one of the most challenging areas of the kitchen – the corner. The CornerStoreTM corner access cabinet is a smart solution that brings more storage and easy accessibility into corner cabinets. In comparison with the typical Lazy Susan, this corner base cabinet option features three full extension drawers, two pull-out pantry trays and is a new and dramatic styling interpretation for inside corners.
Lastly, new door style and finish options have been added to Merillat Masterpiece, our premier line of semi-custom cabinetry. Merillat Masterpiece Galina is an eye-catching transitional door that complements a variety of styles from a weekend cottage look, to coastal or country styles. The Merillat Masterpiece Lucca door style presents an option for homeowners who want an elegant look. The full-overlay door has a delicate pearl bead outlining its recessed center panel giving it a gentle highlight. And we’re all about drama with new finishes including Rye, a soft warm brown; Vintage Onyx a deep painted black; and Vintage Cardinal, a vibrant painted red.
Be sure to watch for updates on the Round Table blog, as we’ll be filling you in on all the excitement after the show.
We are so excited about the launch of our new and revolutionary CoreGuard™ Sink Base that we’ve created a game about it called Stop the GLOP! The under-sink environment can be a messy place. In this fun new game, you can scour common under-sink drips, spills and glops, using a sponge or a bucket to catch under-sink spills before they damage your cabinet floor. Set your level of difficulty by choosing between the bucket (normal difficulty level), or the smaller sponge (hard difficulty).

Here at Merillat, we take an immense amount of pride in our customers and value their opinions. With that said, a major aspect of our product development process includes asking our customers what they need and want in order to make their kitchens not only more beautiful, but smarter and more functional. We identify these needs through a series of Voice of the Customer studies and we are proud to say that many of our innovations have sparked from their feedback and ideas.
Even in today’s economy, we continue to offer homeowners, builders, dealers and designers new and innovative products, such as our revolutionary water resistant sink base, CoreGuard™ as well as 100,000 new product offerings.
We do this by following a series of steps through our Six Sigma efficiency process. This process allows us to develop new products and innovations in a structured and progressive way, which ensures that the products we are developing meet the standards that our customers and homeowners expect from Merillat.
Our philosophy of customer loyalty and constant improvement challenges us to continuously look for ways to create and develop innovative – and in some cases revolutionary – products that our customers need and want; all in an effort to give them more product options and make their kitchens more functional for their lifestyles.
We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on what products you feel would be helpful to have in your kitchen!

Merillat is getting really excited about exhibiting at the 2010 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) taking place April 16-18 at McCormick Place in Chicago. As with IBS 2010 in January, we look forward to showcasing our latest innovative kitchen products – including our new Merillat CoreGuard water-resistant sink base – at the event. If you are in the kitchen and bath industry, come by and say hello as you browse the latest trends, styles and designs! Merillat will be in Booth S1217!
If you’re at the 2010 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas January 19-22, you’ll be one of the first to see a demonstration of the new Merillat CoreGuard™ Sink Base, a revolutionary water-resistant base cabinet that will be available this fall.
It’s something everyone can relate to. Mark Ayers, our Vice President of Marketing, says “A lot can happen under your sink. Leaks and spills can lead to stains and damage. CoreGuard helps protect your cabinetry investment.”
The Merillat CoreGuard Sink Base is made of an engineered polymer specifically designed to resist damage from spills and leaks. The face, frame and door assembly are wood, but behind them, everything is a water-resistant, non-wood material that’s easy to clean and is stain-resistant.
The floor has a slight forward tilt and a rib design to direct any spills forward. With CoreGuard, you can see a problem right away and clean it up. It’s a low-maintenance solution in a cabinet that’s built to last.
Merillat brings new solutions to the kitchen, and CoreGuard is one we’re especially proud of. According to Mark Ayers, “It’s a revolutionary addition to the kitchen, and we think it’s something homeowners are going to demand.”
If you’re at the IBS show, stop by booth #C4143 and see it for yourself. We think it might just make a big splash. And that will be okay.
