“We are constantly evaluating our product offerings as we aspire to provide our customers with the highest level of quality and design options imaginable,” said Karen Pearse, founder and CEO of Innovative Stone. “The new Peach Red stone offers homeowners a beautiful and unique design option for their surface decor. And the product is offered at an outstanding price.”
The Peach Red is a part of Everlife’s Vitality collection, comprised of a global collection of designer-selected granite, marble, quartzite and soapstone colors. All Everlife countertops are stain resistant and protected by Innovative Stone’s breakthrough PermaShield technology, reports the company. Additionally, these environmentally friendly countertops do not require sealing, which is required for most natural stone countertop surfaces.
The Peach Red stone comes from China and is considered to bring promise of hope and prosperity to the home, reports Innovative Stone. In addition, Peach Red will work well with various design options, including bleached gray, chestnut stain, taupe stain and white woods.
Effective February 2009, Everlife’s Peach Red comes with a 15-year stain-resistant warranty and is available from select kitchen designers across the U.S who offer over 45 different color options of Everlife, according to Innovative Stone.

The new software module installs to run within the architect’s CAD program and provide an intuitive drop-down menu that specifies every detail of natural stonework during the pre-construction design phase rather than leaving stone design to chance in the field. Architects are able to work through the details such as pattern, stone sizes, mortar joint size, color blends and edge finish, then view a photographic sample board of each resulting stone combination to achieve the exact look desired. With this information, the software then creates a custom pattern that is generated within each area of the drawing where stone is applied. Unlike a repeating hatch graphic, the pattern is a live file, in which individual stones can be edited and moved.
With a focus on constructability, the software tracks the square footage of stone applied on the drawing and calculates the exact cost of the material to ensure the stonework is designed within the targeted budget, right from the start.
“Architects have long been restricted when designing projects with stone because there was little control over the execution at the jobsite, which is why we created this software module to enable the detailed specification of stonework details,” said Ken Jackman, New World Stoneworks’ founder and president. “Plus, the new software integrates seamlessly with our natural stone building system which further simplifies the stone sourcing process. Once the stone design is complete, the architect has an option to have the stone specifications sent directly to New World Stoneworks for an immediate price quote and delivery timeline.”
The company will unveil many aspects of the new software with virtual guided tours and digital renderings. In addition, there will be ongoing in-booth demonstrations of how the New World Stoneworks natural stone building system installs 90% faster than traditional methods.

“Our MicroEdge sink is the first breakthrough in stainless steel sink design since the introduction of the undermount sink more than 10 years ago,” said Tim Maicher, Director of Marketing for Blanco. “These new models offer an elegant alternative to traditional undermount or overmount styles.”
The first offering in an expanding range of MicroEdge sinks is Blancoprecision™ MicroEdge, handcrafted by Blanco’s revered Steelart division. Blancoprecision MicroEdge reflects a long tradition of award-winning design and enduring performance.
Made with the finest grade 18-gauge stainless steel, Blanco offers nine different Blancoprecision MicroEdge models that are enhanced with crisp geometric shapes and zero radius corners (another Blanco innovation). The MicroEdge top-mounted sinks can be positioned easily and secured with mounting clips or alternatively, can be installed as a traditional flushmounted sink by an experienced solid surface specialist.
Each MicroEdge sink is created with a cutting-edge sound-dampening pad that reduces the overall noise as water from the faucet hits the bottom of the basin. These distinctive sinks are highly polished for a smooth finish meant to enhance the appearance and maintain the longevity of the sink, according to the manufacturer. Additionally, MicroEdge sinks are designed with a striking ‘x’ pattern drain groove on the bottom of the bowl, helping to quickly remove water from the sink.
