BOWERSTON, OHIO - L.J. Smith®, the leading stair systems manufacturer in the industry, will showcase a variety of its most popular metal products in booth #2527 at the 2019 PCBC in San Francisco, May 30-31, 2019.
Introduced in 2018 to strong industry support and sales, the Linear Collection of Metal Panel Systems boasts a ‘welded’ look that complements most modern or urban decors. The pre-assembled panels feature a modern stairway design and install quickly and easily on the job site. As with all L.J. Smith products, the metal panels are crafted for unsurpassed beauty and strength.
Available for open tread stairways, kneewall stairways and level run applications, the seven-level run panels in the Metal Panel Systems are available to meet rail heights of three different choices with five-rake panel width options. The system also includes fast-install spacer newels, panel posts, square nose designed treads and handrails. Each panel system comes with Low Sheen Black as a standard finish. Additional powder-coated and Pantone® paint colors can be ordered so that the stairway complements the home interior.
“The popularity of metal panel systems started last year and continues to soar in the marketplace during 2019,” says Craig Kurtz, president of L.J. Smith Stair Systems. “People find the sleekness and distinction of metal very appeal in home design. Architects and designers are leaning toward marrying these metal panel systems with warm wood handrails for a unique look in both home and commercial settings.”
Popularity of Iron
Another recently-introduced iron option being showcased at PCBC by L.J. Smith is the Contempo Collection of Iron Balusters. These durable iron balusters come in multifunctional styles with straight lines and open spaces. Rectangular, oval and 1-1/2” flat bar styles of balusters will be exhibited at PCBC.
Available in either a Low Sheen Black or Matte Nickel Finish, the iron balusters come in four different styles. The stylish balusters can be installed with complementary newels and rails to enhance multiple home designs.
L.J. Smith also offers Metal Newel Caps, the Linear Collection of Cable System with Metal Newels and 11 additional standard style collections of iron balusters to complement the trend in metal stairway systems. The company introduced the "systems approach" of ordering stair parts in 1983 and, whether a customer needs a traditional, contemporary or modern stair system, L.J. Smith continues as the industry leader by meeting the exacting needs of individual customers.
L.J. Smith products --- including wooden and ornamental iron balusters, stainless steel cable and tube infills, metal panels, newel posts, hand rails and accessories --- are all defined by their unique designs, uncompromised durability and good looks.
