Tile has been a traditional pick for bathroom or kitchen remodeling projects. Tradition however, may not always be the best choice. We all agree that tile is available in a variety of colors and styles, but is it really low maintenance and easy to clean? How about these pesky porous grout lines that attract mildew and mold? Now there is a new player in town! Engineered Composites tile panels by IMI offer several features that traditional tile can’t match.

Have you ever seen a tile shower with no visible seams, no grout lines to maintain, and no tile to seal? Imagine the beauty of a product that could do both! IMI’s engineered composite tile panels are quickly becoming a top choice for today’s builder and remodeler. With plenty of choices of traditional tile patterns and colors, these panels with integral tile are a snap to install, will last a lifetime and require no special cleaners or sealers. And they have anti-bacterial properties as well!

Used in high-end hotels and first-time family homes alike, this product boasts beauty that cannot be found anywhere else. Visit us to learn more about our Bathroom Vanity Tops, Kitchen Countertops, Tubs, Shower Bases, and Shower/Tub Surrounds!

Homeowners want a product that will be durable, easy to care for and add value to their home. An engineered composite can suit all of those needs. Engineered composites are waterproof and with a non-porous surface that delivers a warmer, softer feel to the touch than cold tile.

Anyone who has ever built or remodeled a home knows that one of the biggest concerns is dust! Nothing is worse than having dust and debris all over your jobsite. The key to dust control is to minimize the introduction and creation of dust during the project. As a builder or remodeler, it is important to work with subcontractors that understand and respect your requirements.

IMI has recently acquired new, state of the art power tools that make cutting cultured marble wall panels, vanity tops, and shower bases virtually dust free! As you can see in the videos below, the dust that would normally be created, simply isn’t. IMI’s commitment to you, our customers, is to provide you solutions for all your bathroom building or remodeling needs!

Another benefit to our customers is that IMI is able to offer a knowledgeable staff who hold various industry specific certifications! IMI is a licensed General Contractor with a Licensed Plumber and a Certified Aging In Place Specialist (CAPS) on staff. IMI also recently received the EPA-RRP Lead-Safe Certification. Whether your project is brand new construction, an older home or somewhere in the middle, IMI is poised to offer you a solution for all your wet-area needs! Including dust free cutting!

If you would like to visit our showroom we would love to show it to you! We are open by appointment from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Call us and we would be happy to give you a tour. Our phone number is 770.928.2252. We look forward to hearing from you!

In honor of earth day today, IMI wanted to spotlight how we are always looking for ways to manufacture the best MasterCast Engineered Composites offering earth friendly options.  Two things IMI is able to do in the manufacturing process is offer soy based resins and recycled glass.

Soy resins can be used in the manufacturing of kitchen and bath surfaces such as seamless shower pans and shower walls, countertops and other surfaces for commercial and residential construction and remodeling. One of the interesting facts about using soybeans for non-tofu-related purposes is that it isn’t a new concept. Henry Ford was widely known as a soybean fanatic in the 1930s when, in his efforts to meld America’s agricultural and manufacturing industries, he designed an entire car made with soy-based plastic panels.

IMI gets creative with backfill materials, using glass dust at times. Glass dust is the scrap of glass recycling. The U.S. generates 13.6 million tons of glass waste per year (EPA, 2007) with 24% of that number going to recycling uses. We have been experimenting with recycled glass and are pleased with our results! In fact the best way that you could see what the possibilities are is to schedule an appointment to tour our showroom and maybe take a peek at our plant!  We are open by appointment from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday and you can reach us at 770.928.2252.

 IMI has fulfilled the new requirements of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA).  The EPA realized the growing concern about lead-based paints in homes and businesses and the real health hazard this situation poses for families and children.

In response to this concern, the EPA has established a new rule focused on renovation, repair and painting work. Beginning April 2010, all renovation, repair, and painting work done on structures built prior to 1978 are required to be done by an EPA certified firm, and a Certified Renovator from that firm must be on site during critical stages of the work.

IMI is excited that we have completed the EPA’s requirements, and if you would like to see our certificate you can view it here: IMI’s Certification. IMI is always committed to not only the highest standards in the manufacturing process, but also having the staff you need whether it is a General Contractor, a Certified-Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS), a Licensed Master Plumber or a Certified Renovator!

Many of us have an aging parent or family member that we are trying to help with. Possibly, a handicapped member of your family needs help bathing. Sometimes it can be hard when you have limited capabilities to do even the most basic tasks, such as bathing yourself. There is a great solution out there for those with physical limitations, called a Walk In Bathtub. IMI is excited that we can offer these tubs, which can provide a wonderful way for your parent or physically challenged family member to keep their independence and enjoy the rejuvenating effects of a cleansing bath.

IMI actually has two options; you can purchase one or rent one. We have a special website set up here that gives you more information on the renting of a walk in tub. If you are interested in more information in the purchase or rental of one, you can call (678) 501-6010 and speak with Joel, our Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS).

One great thing about Walk In Bathtubs is they’re standard size bathtubs, so they’ll fit in the same space your old bathtub occupied. What makes them so helpful for elderly or handicapped persons is that they have a door built into the side, so you can just walk in to the tub, rather than lifting your legs and hips to get in and out of the bathtub. Walk In Bathtubs also have non-slippery surfaces, so the common slip and fall bathing accidents and injuries can be avoided.

If you’ve been looking at options for your elderly or physically challenged parent or family member, Walk In Bathtubs provide a great solution. Walk In Bathtubs are easy to use, safe, and allow your loved ones to maintain their independence for the private task of bathing. IMI has a wide range of bath products that will meet all your bathroom needs.  In addition to the walk in tubs we also offer, walk in showers, showers made with a wheelchair accessible ramp and corner seats for the shower that can be added to your existing shower.

We’ve been hearing it on the news, from friends even from our own mouths as we walk the aisles at the grocery store and balk at what we see. Prices have gone up. Seems to be a paradoxical occurrence in a down economy, doesn’t it? Many companies in all industries are also eliminating freebies, extras, bonuses or bulk values. This is probably a more expected sign of the times. One thing we don’t think you should have to expect or deal with is any decrease in the service you receive!
