One Less Thing To Worry About...
By: Joseph Bibi
Just do it our way! This is a statement we've heard from multiple manufacturers when bringing industry-wide issues to the table.
We've discovered that in the window treatment and room dividing industries there is a large disconnect between the manufacturer designing products to be installed in a "factory setting", displaying the ideal unrealistic scenario versus the installer who is installing in a real-life and very realistic setting.
Installers are faced with a large array of daily issues.
- Ceiling/Floors not level
- The system needs on-site adjustment due to irregularities on site.
- Tracks getting jammed when mudding into the ceiling.
- vents/sprinklers/wheelchair accessible door openers etc being added at the last minute.
These are just a few of the many on-site situations that can occur. Manufacturers oftentimes don't realize that installers are not installing in perfect conditions. Designers and architects are often forced to change their designs to accommodate the conditions or added expenses can be incurred by the end-user, hotel, hospital, retail store, etc to accommodate these conditions while still trying to keep it as close as possible to the original concept visions.
Solving these simple yet custom issues while still keeping your products cost-effective was a true challenge.
The new 2021 Sampson Mills systems were all designed by creating a parts reduction initiative. This not only allows a reduction in price while retaining high-quality standards, but it also reduces the impact on the environment as well. Now with Sampson Mills proprietary methods, you have a system that can adapt to your environment. Sampson Mills now has the same parts that when rearranged can create a curtain track, flat panel, room divider, germ guards, etc. These combinations can also be flexible when installing in multiple ceiling conditions including sprinklers, vents, etc allowing the architect's and designer's true vision to remain despite the natural everyday ever-changing conditions.
If you have a vision, call the Sampson Mills team to help you so you can avoid the onsite headaches and have a smooth pleasant completion of your projects. Always good to have one less thing to worry about.
