Carolina Ceramics Brick Company’s KLADbrick combines the look and feel of real brick with precast panels, offering cost efficiencies as well as flexibility of design. KLADbrick is named for its exclusive kerfed, locked, and dovetailed design and uses clay brick soaps set in a precast panel. This system of bonding concrete to the dovetailed brick ensures unrivaled strength and beauty for projects with a repetitive design. KLADbrick panels are assembled off-site in a factory, eliminating the possibility of weather delays while ensuring excellent quality. KLADbrick saves architects and contractors time and money, plus minimal staging areas are required on site. |

Sonia's Dynamic System is a collection based on minimalism. Counters are made of 30-millimeter-thick water-resistant ply, and structures are of solid maple, ash, or oak. The Dynamic System project was built to offer a modular style of furniture capable of adapting to a series of standard measures. Both its base and counters are available in a wide range of sizes, from 20 to 57 inches (50 to 144 centimeters). The Dynamic Collection includes nine different models that combine three wood finishes, with the basin made of porcelain or one of three glass finishes. Pictured is the Wenge Vanity with Glass Vessel. |

The Squarz It conversion corner was designed by a professional drywall contractor for ease and simplicity of installation on drywall bullnose corners, and for a professional and appealing miter-cut corner. It is a labor saving device for both the installer and the finish carpenter. There is no cutting or measuring of the corner bead necessary. This product can be installed anywhere on the corner, and works well for chair rails, coved ceilings, and window sills. Simply apply adhesive, and, using a straightedge, line up the Squarz It device and finish corner as usual. Squarz It provides the convenience of square corner bead but the appeal of rounded bullnose corners. |
