Creating Healthy Homes: A Blueprint for Modern Living

Reports indicate that 66% of Millennials are particularly concerned about indoor air quality, with Gen Z following suit. In line with our core values of: Do the Right Thing; Act with Passion; Build Winning Partnerships; Think Long Term; and Learn, Grow, Change, Excel, we have embraced a sustainability philosophy that guides our manufacturing process.

Healthier Coatings for a Better Home
We prioritize health and longevity in our coatings. While vinyl coatings release harmful VOCs, our epoxy powder coating offers a durable, non-toxic finish that ensures healthier air quality.
Embracing Flexibility with Flex Space
Flexibility is key in today's homes where space is premium. In living areas with multifunctional designs and flexible areas, the demand for high-quality adjustable storage solutions becomes essential to withstand day-to-day usage and the inevitable wear and tear. Also, it gives homebuyers the flexibility they’re seeking to change it if needed. Our freedomRail® system offers a truly adjustable storage solution that adapts to changing needs without tools.

This concept is about creating homes that stand the test of time.

Senior Living
Superior storage and organization are vital, especially in senior living. It goes beyond organizing belongings, it's about fostering their dignity and independence. Imagine a living space that accommodates essentials and respects personal space, contributing to a higher quality of life.
Prioritizing Mental Wellness
Finding relaxation can be challenging in cluttered and disorganized environments, potentially heightening homebuyers' stress. Recognizing the significance of mental wellness in the home emphasizes the importance of designated storage systems. By providing ample storage options throughout the home, you not only differentiate yourself but also prioritize stress reduction and overall mental wellness for your homebuyers.
