MENTIONS

fixMI Bathroom
Accessories by Mat Inter
NOW YOU CAN INCLUDE hooks, towel bars and shelves in bathrooms without having to drill into the wall after the renovation. The fixMI tiling trim
does need to be installed during the tiling process, and once the grouting is
complete, you are left with a decorative accent line that can hold a variety
of accessories that can be solidly attached and moved at any time through a
click-on-and-screw installation process.
Three bathroom series are available, with more planned to meet varying
tastes. Kitchen and electric accessories like USB chargers are currently being
produced, and Mat Inter is also working on an electrified version of the trim,
which will feature spot lighting. Depending on
what you order for your client, the accessories range from $18 to $195, and the trim
needed to use the system is about $150.
The judges chose this project for its
creativity and because it solves a market
need where space saving is key.

a MrSteam system already in place; it is an easy upgrade, allowing consumers
to revolutionize their steam showering experience.
