with an adjustable double curved shower rod that allows bathers more space in the smaller more conventional tubs and showers.
Kitchen products Stainless Living (
www.stainlessliving.com), Booth C-
4036. This company offers a stainless steel kitchen backsplash system that is functional and provides an easy- to-clean surface. These distinctive backsplashes are available in 14 polished designs to customize the kitchen or bathroom. They can be used as a decorative accent or can wrap around the entire room for a look of continuity or to help a small place look larger. You can choose from three stock sizes, or they can be customized to fit your exact specifications. Installation is accomplished in minutes, using a combination of two-sided tape and construction adhesive. There is a wide selection of stainless steel tiles in various sizes. Stainless Living is a division of Rigidized Metal, a $25 million dollar manufacturer of stainless steel for 70 years. Happy sailing for those at
K/BIS 2011, and I hope that those staffing the showroom or jobsite will get a quick jump on the new products through the web sites and your local reps. l
