The Furniture Guild - 11/20/2023

THE FURNITURE GUILD CONFIGURATOR UPDATE! 524 LOGAN & 526 LUCAS Both models are now on the configurator!  Not all configurations are up yet but the main ones are there.   527 PIPER A new design called Piper is now available on the website, price list and configurator.   Piper is basically an Avalon with rounded corners. It is made with a substructure so the standard interior finish is gray like the Avalon. Available finishes are different than other designs which is why it is in 500 series.   Piper is available in Fluted Finishes which we anticipate will be the way it will be mainly ordered. Piper is currently available in limited configurations.  Bases are available for this design but the selection is limited by the round corners.   Countertops are also limited by rounded corners similar to the Lucas/Logan. All of these limitations and restrictions are maintained in the configurator so you can easily check there for compatibility. NEW! TFG for PROJECTS! The Furniture Guild designs and materials meet contract-quality manufacturing from our global factory network to meet large project timeline and budget requirements. This is something we’ve been working on over the last year and are really excited to announce. Up until now, TFG has basically turned away the large projects as budgets for these jobs were commonly an issue and It simply wasn’t feasible to stop our day-to-day production to produce large scale projects.   We have now completed several large products utilizing larger factories overseas and several more are in the works. This is certainly a different message than what you’ve heard from us in the past.   Nothing is changing about the products that you currently order for luxury, single family residences. But now you can also think of TFG as an option for larger product quantity (30+) jobs. We now have options to be competitive!   ADA OPTION There’s a new code in NYC and California (other markets coming soon) that requires certain rental buildings to include ADA compatible vanities in EVERY room. There is a section in the code that allows for a “convertible” vanity but it must be able to be converted using simple hand tools. Currently, the products available for ADA convertible are very plain and boring.   To solve this, TFG now offers their new G3 ADA Convertible; a slightly modified G3 vanity with or without legs. Four screws come out with a screwdriver and the vanity will slide straight out revealing an ADA compatible apron that holds our standard Mineralstone top. This was shown at BDNY and turned a lot of heads! New Finish We also showed a new finish coming soon: C67 Nocino. (samples in production now)   OTHER THINGS COMING SOON: More fluted finishes compatibility on Configurator New BAND3 design available across the board C67 Nocino to join C-TEX finishes and Guilder Four Interesting points on The Furniture Guild: You can put 700 lbs. of weight on all the substructure-based designs!  And, if a panel is damaged in the field, it can be replaced without uninstalling the countertop, substructure or plumbing! TFG offers more finishes including custom paints, automotive paints and exotic veneers. The drawer system is made in Germany and the “split” area for plumbing is built from marine grade material that is edge banded in 2mm ABS. Looks much nicer than anything else you’re going to see out there! Substructure allows for custom sizes and configurations while the Guilder series is more limited... The Guilder Series uses a bracket system that utilizes 10mm dowels into the Textured Laminate/Acrylic and pressure pulls laterally on the material.  Its strong enough, but not as strong as our substructure.  Guilder is built more like how the competition is building them but there are a few differences that still make it better: The horizontal braces inside are made out of plywood (substructure material) where everyone else uses particle board or MDF. The mounting system is top-of-the-line and made in Italy.  It is rated to hold 330 lbs. Our dowel spacing is kept at 2.5” so we use over double the number of connectors compared to our competitors! The drawer system is a less expensive one but has the same weight rating, adjustability and warranty. Not quite as upscale as the German version we offer in the main line but significantly better than what most other companies are using. We offer a lifetime warranty on Guilder. Do you know of another company that offers this on their vanities?  At any price point? Guilders are still built one-at-a-time by the same builders that build the Avalon and each one is signed by the Craftsman. Most competitors build their products on an assembly line in bulk. Guilder uses a powder coated steel U shaped piece where most other mars use cheap plastic.

The Furniture Guld - 10/13/2023

Fluted Faces vs Fluted Fronts 
We have 2 new options in the pricelist on page 17.
Fluted Faces replaces all finished panel surfaces.
Fluted Fronts replaces only the fronts with fluted fronts.
 
Configurator
We have activated Fluted Faces for the Avalon on the Configurator. You can select Fluted from the Panel finish section. Fluted panels are only available in A Paints for now.
 
Next we will add Fluted Fronts to Hayden, Hannah, Edwin. It’s a great look and will completely change the look of these designs.
 
Hardware on Flutes
We are going to offer all (or most) of our decorative hardware on fluted finishes.  Stay tuned to see how we will be integrating hardware that we’re developing now. Many companies are offering fluted finishes but none will integrate hardware like we will. It will be special.
 
Guildcrete 2.0 – Guildcrete 1.0 is on hold for now but we have something special brewing. Big improvement to this program that you will like. Stay tuned!
 
DPHA OCT 12-15

Locally produced quality
Our commitment to quality extends to our production process. All our shower bases are proudly manufactured in our facilities in Thetford Mines. We have a deep sense of satisfaction in producing right here in Canada, using top-quality materials sourced entirely from North-America.

Unmatched sturdiness and leak-free

All Oceania shower bases come with built-in supports that ensure unparalleled sturdiness. For any A, B, or C-type base,

integrated acrylic tile flanges combined with an anti-leak barrier provide peace of mind by delivering reliable waterproofing.

The latest one!
The newest base boasts the same exceptional features as our existing models but stands out with discreet thresholds and the addition of a linear drain cover.
Available sizes: 
48’’ x 36’’
60’’ x 32’’
60’’ x 36’’

The convenient one!
With its drain located at 12’’ x 12’’, this shower base is incredibly convenient. This model comes in handy when replacing a corner shower unit without the need to reposition the drain or when repositioning is simply not possible. It’s a game changer in bathroom design!

CALIFORNIA FAUCETS - 03/10/22

We thank you for your business and support of California Faucets

Just a friendly "heads up" that there will be a new 2022 Catalog and Price List in early Spring. We will announce the exact effective date well in advance to give you plenty of time to update your systems and inform your clients.

Discontinued Items!

California Faucets always strives to keep their offerings fresh and relevant, so the new catalog will be full of exciting new products with outstanding designs and smartly considered technology. Of course, to make way for these new products, we will need to bid adieu to some old standbys. 

The button below will give you a heads-up of the products that are being discontinued so that you can begin pre-planning your display space and commitments while providing your customers with the most up-to-date information.

While the official "discontinued effective date" will be the effective date of the new catalog, we will continue to support and accept orders, inventory permitting, for an appropriate transition period afterwards. Please note that due to ongoing supply chain uncertainties, inventory may be exhausted prior to the official discontinue date, in which case, we will notify you that we are unable to accept the order. 

For example, that is the current case with all Swarovski Crystal products. About one year ago, Swarovski, announced that they were discontinuing the manufacture of all items except jewelry. At that time, we placed our final order estimating our needs for the next year. However, due to strong overall sales over the past l2 months, we exhausted that inventory earlier than projected and cannot get any additional supply. Therefore, all items containing Swarovski Crystal are discontinued effective immediately. 

For other items, we may find ourselves with excess inventory. In these cases, it may be an excellent profit opportunity for you to pick up overstock of discontinued items at a significant discount. If you are interested in getting a quote and availability of any discontinued item, please reach out to your Creative Bath Sales Rep.

Despite all the challenges, 2021 was a year of historic growth for us and, with your continued support, we anticipate another banner year in 2022. On behalf of everyone at California Faucets, we thank you for your partnership and look forward to growing with you.

CALIFORNIA FAUCETS - 01/19/22

California Faucets has accumulated quite a few product awards over the years (https://www.calfaucets.com/awards) and we are pleased to announce that they recently added two more trophies to their collection. 

1. The Corsano Kitchen Culinary Faucet, a previous Interior Design “Best of Year” Award winner, recently won an honorable mention from the Decorative Plumbing & Hardware Association’s 2021 “POTY” awards.  One of the reason it was lauded again was because they freshened the series with the addition of a cool squeeze spray handle. 
2. Their Single Hole Tub Fillers won Products Magazine’s 2022 “Most Valuable Product” Bronze Award.  While it didn’t win the gold, it was still recognized from among hundreds of submissions in the very large Kitchen and Bath Category, competing against all product types. 

Both the compelling aesthetic design and the practical 10GPM flow rate clearly caught the eye of the judges.
