Innovation Is On Its Way to Orlando for the International Builders’ Show

Posted by: Susan Cross, Communications and Public Relations Manager, Merillat Cabinetry on 01/11/2011 | Permalinks | Trackbacks

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.

People love their things, but they may get even more excited about having a place to put those things. After price, storage is the most important factor for 84% of cabinetry shoppers. Yet they often don’t know what kinds of storage options they have.

Paul Radoy, Manager of Design Services for Merillat, recommends looking at a kitchen in sections. “All kitchens have cooking and cleanup zones; some kitchens may have an island or even a pantry. I see each section as a gold mine of storage opportunities.”

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.
