"These programs have always been popular with Hakatai's customers," stated Marshall Malden, President of Hakatai. "But in today's demanding market, they offer even more opportunities which include finding competitively priced and quick turn-around custom blends and/or gradients."

The programs can be accessed at www.hakatai.com by clicking "Custom Design" and then "Custom Tools." By following online instructions, customers can create their own unique glass mosaic tile blends and gradients. For those who may not be comfortable using the tools completely on their own, Hakatai's experienced service staff is always available for assistance.

"Our many years of experience in producing these custom products at Hakatai's Ashland, OR, facility allow us to quickly understand each customer's vision of their completed project, and, to offer tips and ideas helping them achieve it," stated Malden. "By producing them in Ashland, we usually meet customers' tight installation deadlines."
