ICPA’s Dream Home Open for Tours at PCBC May 31, 2005 (Arlington Va.) - The Cast Polymer Dream Home, a full-scale display of cast polymer home products built by Cultured Marble Products, CCM Enterprises, and Gruber Systems, will be featured at PCBC 2005, a conference for more than 27,000 building industry professionals scheduled to take place May 31-June 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The Cast Polymer Dream Home, developed by the International Cast Polymer Alliance’s (ICPA) Strategic Marketing Committee as a visual and contextual marketing concept to expose the potential of cast polymer products to a variety of building and construction industry buyers, has toured the country for the past two years. “Our objective is to display the Dream Home's four separate rooms which are outfitted with new cultured marble, onyx, granite, and solid surface installations at each show,” says ICPA Managing Director Sabeena Hickman. “The style is arranged by ICPA staff onsite to reflect the newest trends in kitchen and bath design. We want this to be a total experience for everyone who enters the display.” The Dream Home's bath and powder rooms were designed by ICPA manufacturing member Cultured Marble Products. In the master bath, a 65-inch by 65-inch cultured granite custom tub deck and skirt with integrated tub complement a cultured granite bull-nose edged vanity top with a single oval bowl and a dual-wall cultured granite shower surround with neo-angle shower pan. The master bath's design conveys a sense of spa-like tranquility with soothing shades and ample water fixtures. CCM Enterprises will provide the Dream Home's custom solid surface kitchen appointment — a large, moss-colored, L-shaped counter installation in Gruber Systems' Granatex ® line, filled with varying sizes, shapes, and colors of particulate. CCM's kitchen installation, which tops custom cabinetry with a single bowl sink, reflects the growing trend toward nature-inspired décor, using the dark green gradations of Gruber's Myrnite Granatex ® to invoke the depth of a mountain trail. Gruber Systems will showcase a unique biscuit and white cultured marble
fireplace surround, as well as three new sink designs fabricated in cultured
marble, cultured granite, and cultured onyx.
