Eurocraft Cabinets Chooses Vycom’s Seaboard and Designboard for Aquatica Outdoor Cabinetry Collection











Aquatica outdoor cabinets feature Vycom’s Seaboard (shown in white) to resist weather

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) May 09, 2012

Eurocraft Cabinets, Inc. of Boca Raton, FL, started their business as a dealer of kitchen and bath cabinetry to the residential and commercial industry. As their business developed, the owners saw prices raise and quality fall and decided they could offer more value by expanding their own manufacturing operation. After investing in new equipment, Eurocraft started offering its own line of European-style kitchen and bath cabinetry.

As demand has increased for low-maintenance outdoor cabinetry that can endure the wet, steamy environments in Florida, the Southeast and Caribbean, Eurocraft saw the opportunity to expand their business by utilizing Vycom’s product families, Seaboard and Designboard. In just a few years, the company grew from a few select outdoor kitchen projects to now supplying dealers with the new http://www.aquaticaoutdoor.com. [Aquatica cabinetry __title__ ]line, marketed as a weather-proof alternative to wood.

Aquatica cabinetry from Vycom’s Seaboard® and Designboard materials is made from a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheet that provides a weather-resistant surface for many applications and will never rust, rot, corrode, delaminate or splinter over time. It is well-suited for Aquatica cabinetry, which is typically installed near pools or wet areas that need to be washed often or are exposed to moisture. It is UV-stable with scratch and impact resistance and has been developed to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions.

“The idea that customers can take a garden hose to the patio, pool area and cabinets is very attractive to the low-maintenance minded consumer or facility manager,” said Jeff Canter, vice president of operations of Eurocraft Inc.

From a design standpoint, Jeff has seen outdoor kitchens become more elaborate, as homeowners and commercial facilities seek to bring the luxury of indoor kitchens to the outdoors. And, in Southeastern climates, the year-round nature of eating and entertaining outdoors has fueled the trend even more. “The weather-resistant materials like Seaboard and Designboard make the elaborate designs easier to maintain and long-lasting,” said Jeff.

The Aquatica line features semi-custom base and wall cabinets and five door styles in Seaboard colors of Black, Sandshade, White and Seafoam and The Designboard Collection’s Java color. Designboard offers a designer line of rich colors and textures that have the toughness of HDPE with the brilliance of metal or the natural look of wood. “We can machine Seaboard and Designboard just like wood, so the design elements are endless,” says Jeff. “And they have the appearance of painted wood.” For those who love wood and don’t mind applying stains and sealants, they also offer the more weather-resistant woods in teak and cypress in three door styles.

As Eurocraft continues to grow in the kitchen and bath cabinetry sector, Jeff says outdoor kitchens are a natural extension of their current business. “We will continue to look at new outdoor opportunities for cabinetry and these new amazing materials,” he said.

Spring Is Blossoming for Marin County Interior Designer Allison Bloom

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

Marin based interior designer Allison Bloom seems to be springing up everywhere lately. Feverishly preparing for the upcoming Dwell and Marin Magazine home tour of her Mill Valley home this April 28-29 and preparing a room for the 2012 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, opening April 28 and running through May 28, 2012, her fun and stylish design is cultivating a following.

Allison Bloom of Dehn Bloom Design is partnering with Tinsley Hutson-Wiley Interior Design on a pantry in this grand Classic Revival house for the 2012 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. Presented with the challenge of a dark and narrow pantry off the formal dining room, Bloom and Hutson-Wiley create a highly useful and cheeky take on a pantry for a contemporary family that respects the history and tradition of the houses’ design yet integrates modern amenities and clean lines.

Utilizing local vendors, Allison and Tinsley have created a pantry any butler (or family) would love. Sausalito based Heath Ceramics supplies neutral beige subway tiles in a matte finish that act as a highly functional and stylish backsplash to the newly installed gas range, brushed stainless steel hood and counters. Sourcing kitchen accessories from March on Sacramento Street, March has supplied a variety of sizes and shapes of cutting boards that do double duty as both wall art and cooking tool. Spinneybeck supplies the chic drawer pulls in a dark brown leather, that are easy to grasp and hold up to daily use. Decorative painter Willem Racké painted on the opposite pantry wall a full size Union Jack flag, but in the brown and beige palate of the room, adding a dose of fun to the functionality of the space. Allison says, ”We are going for a timeless, modern take on an old school room. We have added modern amenities that today’s family would use and love.”

The 2012 San Francisco Decorator Showcase is open from April 28-May 28, 2012 at 2020 Jackson Street in San Francisco. The house is open everyday of the week except Mondays. The hours are: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday: 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (last entry), Thursday and Friday: 10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. (last entry), Sunday and Memorial Day: 11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (last entry), CLOSED MONDAY (except Memorial Day).

Tickets are $ 30 each, seniors $ 25. More information on this annual charitable event benefiting the University High School scholarship fund, can be found at http://decoratorshowcase.org/

Expert Denver Plumbing Company Announces Affordable Kitchen and Bathroom Face-lift Strategies

Expert Denver Plumbing Company Announces Affordable Kitchen and Bathroom Face-lift Strategies










Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

Denver, CO – Everyone enjoys an upgrade but, if a complete bathroom and kitchen remodel does not fit the budget, a luxury look and modern updates can still be attainable.

The housing market is currently a buyers market, so many homeowners are opting to stay in their homes and making the best of what they have and finding ways to improve on that. “With the housing market in its current condition, folks are staying in their homes and upgrading them with new fixtures and faucets,” said Mike Redinger, owner of Rheo Systems Plumbing.

“Older homes usually have galvanized iron pipes, but homeowners are upgrading to copper pipes and getting their plumbing up to date and up to code,” said Mike. Copper is a more durable material, it can withstand extreme pressure and extreme heat as well as freeze thaw cycles.

A tankless water heater is another way to update an old water system. “A tankless water heater is an energy efficient water heating system that heats water only when it is needed,” said Mike. Heating water on demand allows for a continuous flow of hot water, so shower time is not interpreted by a blast of cold. According to Consumer Reports, heating water accounts for up to 30 percent of the average home’s energy budget. Tankless water heaters are an environmentally friendly alternative, they save energy, space and money. A tankless water heater only heats up the water on demand, instead of working to keep it hot all day and night. That translates into a savings of around $ 70 to $ 80 per year, based on 2008 national energy costs.

Mike is a master plumber and learned the trade over 20 years ago from his father, Louis, who is also a Master Plumber.

Chapel Hill, NC (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

Philip D. Zaleon, President of Z promotion & design, Inc. and partner and co-founder of The Kitchen & Bath Channel was recently published in the kitchen & bath industry’s leading trade journal “Kitchen & Bath Design News”.

Mr. Zaleon relates the process directly to the kitchen and bath industry, explaining how the kitchen and bath professional can benefit from a more aggressive marketing campaign via the web, social media and smartphones/tablets to capture the buyer at the moment they decide to purchase.

“I have been working with kitchen & bath professionals for over a dozen years, and after reading Mr. Lecinski’s book, I felt compelled to spread the word within the industry. I hope the article helps kick-start an industry-wide effort to adapt marketing practices based on today’s shopping process and habits – they have definitely changed in past few years,” said Mr. Zaleon. “In fact, we developed the Kitchen & Bath Channel to help the kitchen & bath professional win the ‘zero moment of truth’ before Mr. Lecinski named it!”

The Kitchen & Bath Channel is an online, mobile and social media resource for consumers looking for a professional to remodel their kitchen or bathroom, while providing the industry professional a unique suite of marketing opportunities, platforms and support to capture the buyer at the moment they decide to purchase.

Greenstar Home Services Announces Central Water Filtration Partnership with Environmental Water Systems (EWS, Inc.)

Greenstar Home Services Announces Central Water Filtration Partnership with Environmental Water Systems (EWS, Inc.)












Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) April 06, 2012

Greenstar Home Services, Orange County’s premier eco-friendly and environmentally conscious plumbing, HVAC, and water filtration provider, has announced today that it will be exclusively providing Environmental Water Systems as their water filtration product of choice. Greenstar is the first and only plumbing and HVAC provider in Orange County certified by Environmental Water Systems as experts in installation and service of their high-end filtration appliances.

“EWS is thrilled to be associated with Greenstar,” says Mark Truncale, Vice President of Environmental Water Systems. “Like EWS, Greenstar is dedicated to providing top quality product and exceptional customer service.”

“EWS makes the best filtration products on the market today,” says Jack Yarbrough, Area Sales Manager of Greenstar Home Services. “For us, there was no other choice. EWS is a company with a proven track record of top product performance, quality engineering, and customer satisfaction. Their product line is completely dedicated to water filtration. They are focused on investing and improving their product line, producing a cutting edge appliance for the homeowner.”

Environmental Water Systems has been a proven leader in Whole Home Water Filtration for over 25 years. EWS was chosen as the exclusive water filtration for the 2011 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) New American Showcase Home, showcased by numerous publications, and is available in over 700 kitchen and bath showrooms in the United States.

With today’s city tap water containing chlorine or chloramine (a toxic chlorine-ammonia compound that is lethal to marine life and corrosive to pipes and appliances), pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, obesogens, and more, we are putting ourselves at risk for developing health issues. Our bodies absorb more chlorine in a 10-minute shower than if we drank a gallon of unfiltered tap water, so we must be aware that we can drink, inhale, and absorb these contaminants.

“The President’s Cancer Panel reports that there are over 80,000 understudied and unregulated contaminants in our tap water, some of which are directly linked to cancer. EWS has never focused on taste or gimmicks or the latest trend. We focus on health. We focus on our products’ ability to remove these contaminants and protect us – not cover it up by making the water simply taste better. Taste does not equate to health or quality. If it did, then French fries and cookies would be health foods,” says Truncale.

“Greenstar is committed to providing our customers with unparalleled service and exceptional value, providing EWS is just an extension of that philosophy. It was important for us to align with a company that is continually improving their products to meet the changing water conditions of the families we serve. Their new chloramine filtration line is like none other on the market, and is just one example of their commitment to cutting edge performance,” says Yarbrough.

Greenstar Home Services offers many options to homeoweners for their everyday lives to protect the environment for a global benefit. We aim to empower our customers with simple and direct information on green alternatives that make a real, lasting difference to their family, to their home, and to the world.”
