Seen and Heard Around the Industry

Filed under: Industry Tidbits — Lakeville KB @ 1:44 pm

• Oil-rubbed bronze has become a popular finish for hardware and other fixtures; it has a warm, old-world look and can be less expensive than pewter finishes.

• The Pascal faucet by Brizo is making quite a splash! A hands-free heat sensor turns on the water when you wave your hands under the spout; an electronic setting differentiates objects that may need to sit in the sink awhile, such as a stack of dishes.

• Cabinet door styles are trending towards the simpler (such as Park Place or Devonshire); colors such as Ginger Snap (a rich deep stain) and Divinity (a white paint) are still going strong.

Filed under: Industry Tidbits, Lakeville News — Lakeville KB @ 10:46 am

During the week of June 21-25, members of the Lakeville staff were invited to Crystal Cabinets Works in Princeton MN for a tour and training seminar. While there, they learned how Crystal constructs their cabinets, got a sneak peek of the newest products and finishes, and were treated to the warmth and hospitality that the Crystal family always offers in abundance. An interesting and enjoyable trip!

Medallion a “Best Buy”

Filed under: Industry Tidbits — Lakeville KB @ 9:24 am

Over 100 finishes, over 1,000 stain combinations, and numerous wood species and design options: these are only a few of the reasons Consumer’s Digest Magazine awarded Medallion Cabinetry’s Designer Gold line with their “Best Buy” certificate. This prestigious rating is given to less than 3% of competitors in a particular category. Consumer’s Digest lists Designer Gold as “the least expensive semi-custom line that has all-plywood construction and a lifetime warranty”.

Medallion is one of the most popular manufacturers at Lakeville, and both our original Lindenhurst location and our new Smithtown showroom offer many choices in Designer Gold (and the other Medallion lines) for the consumer. Click here to see a few of them!

Choosing a countertop? There’s an app for that.

Filed under: Industry Tidbits — Lakeville KB @ 8:34 am

In the past, shopping for your kitchen or bath meant lugging around samples of whatever you needed to match. Now, the people at Caesarstone are making it a little bit easier with the introduction of their “Mobile Gallery” for the iPhone. This application offers a size and color browser of their countertop and surface materials, free sample ordering, and even a calculator to help you determine how much you’ll need. It puts all the info you require in one easy-to-access place. Here’s hoping other companies will jump on the bandwagon!
