Southeast Building Conference in Orlando, FL

In July, the Florida Surfaces team was one of more than 300 exhibitors at the Southeast Building Conference in Orlando. Along with DuPont partners, Susan Kenney and Chris Anderson, the surfaces team (pictured above) talked with more than 100 building company attendees, while giving them information on the latest and greatest in the world of DuPont Surfaces. Our 10’x20’ booth featured five displays including Private Collection Corian® and Terra Collection Zodiaq® colors, with the most attention by far going to a custom-fabricated sink display created by one of our fabrication partners, Infinity Surfaces.

The eye-catching “Wave Sink” was made from Corian® Elderberry and featured a backlit sink that was thermoformed using Blueberry Ice Illumination Series Corian®. The finishing touch was added by using running water, and people passing by were absolutely blown away. In the words of one of our customers, “it was a show stopper!” In fact, we attracted many existing and potential builder customers, including Ryland Homes, KB Home, Lennar, Mattamy Homes, Kolter Signature Homes, Century Homes, Arthur Rutenberg Homes and many more.

A huge thank you to Infinity Surfaces for creating the wave sink display, as well as Parksite team members Pete Wheeler and Stephen Gartner for all of their help in setting up our fabulous booth and making us look good! Thanks also to American Countertop for the fabrication of a new Flax Zodiaq® countertop for the booth as well. Overall, we felt the show was a very positive experience in re-engaging our customers in the new construction segment.
