HI-MACS CUTS THROUGH THE SURFACE
Premium,
Affordable Kitchen & Bath Countertop Solid Surface Now Available
to Homeowners Seeking A Custom Look
|
PHOENIX - (May 8, 2001) - Many homeowners consider solid surface
the ultimate material for kitchen countertops. Made of acrylic
or polyester resins, solid surface resists stains and is easy
to repair. It's also available in dozens of styles and colors
and can be easily shaped and inlaid to create a variety of edge
treatments.
If
there's a drawback to consumers, it's usually cost: typically
$40 to $50 per sq. ft. for standard 1/2-in.-thick material,
installed. It's easy to see why this durable product has become
so desirable. According to the latest survey of kitchen designers
by the National Kitchen & Bath Association, solid surface is
used in 40 percent of professionally designed kitchens.
For
many homeowners the question now isn't whether to opt for a
solid surface countertop, but getting the best value when shopping
for the product. Now there's a solid surface option, which offers
the comparable high quality and performance of high-priced competitors
but with an affordable price tag.
"We
have what homeowners are looking for," said Jerry Dailey, Managing
Member of The Premium Solid Source, LLC, the master distributor
for LG HI-MACS in the U.S. LG HI-MACS is manufactured by LG
Chemical, part of the LG Group, Korea, a world leader in chemicals,
electronics, machinery, finance energy and sports products.
Dailey is referring to the company's 100% acrylic solid surface
product and its proven track record for quality. "LG HI-MACS
personifies long life, trend-setting beauty and easy maintenance
at a great price. That's why our support from fabricators, designers
and retailers is growing so dramatically throughout the U.S."
Unlike
some natural-stone counters, which can show seams, the seams
on a good solid surface installation are invisible. On the other
end of the spectrum, laminates are often a good buy, but solid
surface lasts longer, and its color is richer.
"There
are plenty of benefits in selecting solid surface," said Chuck
Geerdes of Northstar Surfaces, a surface distributor based in
St. Paul, Minn. "The color is generally consistent, and it offers
design flexibility and value. Products such as LG HI-MACS enable
homeowners to enhance the value of their homes without paying
premium prices normally attached to premium surfaces."
Shirley
McFarlane, CKD, an Atlanta-based designer, believes solid surface
products such as LG HI-MACS represent a new trend in home design.
"The growing focus on the kitchen by consumers who love natural
materials but can't afford them has prompted companies to develop
natural looking products at competitive prices. Solid surface,
with its unique surface abilities (it can be coved, molded,
inlaid or seamed); its versatile selection of colors and patterns;
cleaner, simpler lines and easy maintenance offers the timeless
appeal homeowners are now looking for. So the trend is to drive
down its cost."
"Attention
to detail and incredible quality is LG HI-MACS' hallmark," notes
Linda Atchley, a solid surface distributor in San Antonio, Texas.
"With quality on par with Corian, I now have replaced my previous
line with LG HI-MACS. It's the ultimate surface."
Consumers
can find LG HI-MACS at select retailers across the country.
LG HI-MACS is backed by a 10-year installed warranty. For more
information on LG HI-MACS Acrylic Solid Surface, call The Premium
Solid Source, toll free at: 877.853.1805.

HI-MACS CUTS THROUGH THE SURFACE OFFERING AFFORDABLE SOLID
SURFACE

the comparable high quality and performance of high-priced competitors
but with an affordable price tag.
"We
have what solid surface fabricators, designers, and homeowners
and are looking for," said Jerry Dailey, Managing Member of The
Premium Solid Source, LLC, the master distributor for LG HI-MACS
in the U.S. LG HI-MACS is manufactured by LG Chemical, part of
the LG Group, Korea, a world leader in chemicals, electronics,

and its proven track record for quality. "LG HI-MACS personifies
long life, trend-setting beauty and easy maintenance at a great
price. That's why our support from fabricators, designers and
retailers is growing dramatically throughout the U.S."
"LG
HI-MACS is 10-20% more price-competitive," said Chris Brown of
Elite Interior Design, a fabricator based in Hendersonville, Tenn.
"What's great about LG HI-MACS is that it's easier and faster
to fabricate, and it provides me with a greater profit margin
and cost savings which I can pass on to my customers. It also
arrives at the job with the highest quality finish - no dents,
no pour lines, no scratches. It's smooth and easy to work with."
LG
HI-MACS's solid surface plant utilizes continuous casting technology
in its sheet production, according to Dailey. "When the sheets
are cut, the LG HI-MACS product flakes, rather than generating
dust particles," said Donnie Carroll of Carroll's Contemporary
Designs. "It creates less mess and is more durable because it
resists scratches."
Beautiful.
Flexible. Durable. Brett Shirey, a Texas-based solid surface fabricator,
agrees. "The fabricator is a key link in the distribution channel
and LG knows that. My business is the success it is because of
LG's product. My customers love the fact that they are receiving
a premium surface at an affordable price. Not only is it a great
value, its colors and patterns have a greater depth of clarity
and the shades are extraordinary. The material is harder than
many polyester acrylic blends, so the quality of the finished
product is obvious."
Unlike
some natural-stone counters, which can show seams, the seams on
a good solid surface installation are invisible. On the other
end of the spectrum, laminates are often a good buy, but solid
surface lasts longer, and its color is richer. "There are plenty
of benefits in selecting solid surface," said Chuck Geerdes of
Northstar Surfaces, a surface distributor based in St. Paul, Minn.
"The color is generally consistent, and it offers design flexibility
and value. Products such as LG HI-MACS enable homeowners to enhance
the value of their homes without paying premium prices normally
attached to high quality solid surface."
"The
transitional trend and the popularity of European-influenced looks
also has significant impact on the industry. Solid surface in
a variety of colors and finishes offers innovative customization
options," said Dailey.
