What You Will Learn
Two of the kitchen & bath industry’s hottest design trends are working with sustainable materials and working with metal. What if you could combine the two?! As a leading manufacturer of both, luxury wood surfaces and metal-coated surfaces, Grothouse has actionable tips for attendees to implement into their projects, creating a rich design aesthetic that combines the natural look of wood with the modern look of metal. We look forward to delivering educational information and exciting inspiration to designers on how to incorporate both of these trends and ultimately, elevate their projects in ways they have never imagined!
Learning Objectives:
- This course provides viewers with the tools necessary to specify organic, sustainable materials in their projects and create award-winning wood designs in residential and commercial spaces.
- This course is designed to provide industry professionals with a thorough understanding of wood specificities, eco-friendly sourcing, and manufacturing, and how wood can be used in projects to meet client’s needs and stay on trend using a natural, sustainable material. Viewers will leave the webinar confident in their understanding of wood sustainability, maintenance, and usability.
- Metal adds contrast and sophistication to both modern and traditional spaces but can be challenging due to its limitations in curved profiles and complex shapes.
