You can be assured the IMI’s Gold Services keep you and your family at the top of our priority list! Across the US, there is a 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 a EPA certified firm and a Certified Renovator from that firm must be on site during critical stages of the work.

IMI has staff already on board who passed the EPA’s safety course this month. IMI is 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!

With IMI’s Gold Services program you can be assured that our cultured marble, cultured granite, and SSP materials are members of the flourishing family of MasterCast Engineered Composites. Guided by industry quality control testing and standards since 1974, MasterCast™ is the product of choice for decorative and functional surfacing such as countertops, bathtubs, custom shower bases, shower/tub walls, and more.

Check out our first newsletter of 2010… IMI’s Gold Services Program!

IMI is known nationally for MasterCast Engineered Composite custom shower bases, custom vanity tops, ADA Shower bases, and Stand Alone Luxury Tubs. But from time to time, you just never know what we will get up our sleeve. Somewhere along the way, dog bowls that could withstand extreme climates for the outdoor dog, yet compliment your décor for the indoor dog, were developed!

If you are looking for a great gift idea for someone with animals this Christmas, this may be exactly what they need. Each bowl is made out of the same MasterCast  Engineered Composites that our vanities and bases are. The dog bowl weighs about 20 lbs, so when the wind is howling they will stay steady! With big dogs they won’t flip over, saving the time and expense of cleaning up spilt food.

In the solid color line we have white, almond or biscuit. These retail for $50 plus freight.

 We also can make the bowls in one of IMI’s Signature Spray Granite colors. These dog bowls will have the exquisite look of small particulate-quarried granite with the technological benefits and durability of MasterCast Engineered Composites. The Signature Collection offers a tough clear gel coat, followed by layers of sprayed cultured granite, then completed with high strength cultured marble matrix. The Signature Collection is $75 plus freight and you can choose your colors here!

We are located at 304 Bell Park Drive Woodstock, GA 30188.

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!

As a business professional we know you are dedicated to giving your clients the best customer service possible, and you expect the same from the vendors who serve you. You don’t make excuses, and neither do we. The staff of International Marble Industries Inc. (IMI) has always been dedicated to excellent customer service, quick turnaround times and affordable quality products.

IMI guarantees a 48 hour response time, and a typical five day lead time on products. How often have you heard the word “guarantee” lately? IMI also promises to get your quotes to you accurately and on-time. What’s on-time? How about within 24 hours of receiving the information? That’s fast!

Would your clients like:

• To make color selections with an IMI professional in a dedicated design center?
• To have professional installers in their home, not just contracted laborers?
• To have products that are warrantied by not only your company, but by the manufacturer as well?

Would you like:

• To work with a company who was the first in the industry to offer the fastest lead time?
• To work with a company that is a member of the ACMA, ICPA, NARI, GAHB & NAHB?
• To work with a company that will do the measure AND the install for you?
• To work with a company that actually loves to speak with your clients and answer their questions?
• To work with a company that offers Certified Aging-In-Place Professionals to consult with you or your clients?

Whether you’re talking about a bathroom or a kitchen, a floor or a countertop, a shower or a tub; tile has traditionally been a consumer favorite. Tile touts itself as easy to clean, durable, with low maintenance and in a variety of colors and sizes. But before we all start mixing up the grout, why not consider some alternatives. It seems like many clients, remodelers and builders look to tile simply because “that’s what they’ve always used.” This, of course, is a saying that never leads to improvement or discovery.

Let an engineered composite onto the playing field and you just might find that the tile you’ve always used is suddenly not the clear winner. MasterCast Engineered Composites from International Marble Industries, Inc. (IMI) are recognized as “Beautiful, Durable, Versatile, (and) Affordable.” Four values that are obviously in competition with everything we thought we knew about tile.  MasterCast Engineered Composites encompasses cultured marble, cultured granite, solid surface polymers, and engineered quartz Bathroom & Kitchen products.

The beauty of a MasterCast engineered composites  product is immediately obvious. Used in high-end hotels around the world and first-time family homes alike this product boasts beauty that cannot be found anywhere else. From color to shape, the MasterCast Engineered Composite fabricators like IMI produce custom Bathroom Vanity Tops, Kitchen Countertops, Tubs, Shower Bases, and Shower/Tub Surrounds especially for remodelers, builders, dealers and re-sellers.

Have you ever seen a tile curve? Have you ever seen a tile shower with no visible seams, no grout lines? Imagine the beauty of a product that could do both! Now imagine that same product needing no sealing, no special cleaners, which resists stains and mold and is antibacterial.  If it sounds too good to be true then you are starting to learn why engineered composites are quickly becoming a top choice in today’s economy.

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, which has the end result of making the builders and remodelers who use them very happy.

A final reason these users, owners and makers of engineered composites stay so happy is the longevity of the product. No warranty visits when the tile grout starts cracking or the tile shower base starts leaking. No spreading mold or mildew which can cause major health problems. Engineered composites are waterproof and a non-porous surface that deliver a warmer, softer feel to the touch than cold tile.

If you are a builder, remodeler, kitchen and bath dealer or re-seller and you know your clients would like this product contact IMI today. IMI professionals would be happy to provide you with an on-line presentation of the products.  On IMI’s website you can find your Contractor Kit as well as information for Kitchen and Bath Dealers.
