NEW MEREWAY BATHROOM GRAPHICS LAUNCH IN ARTICAD SOFTWARE
CAD software specialist and technology innovator for the KBB industry, ArtiCAD, announces that the entire range of Mereway bathroom products, including all the different colours and textures, are now available as a
comprehensive graphics catalogue in the ArtiCAD-Pro software. Although Mereway and ArtiCAD have worked together closely for many years (under the auspices of ArtiCAD’s Supplier Partnership Programme), this is the first time that Mereway bathroom graphics have been included. Tony McNeally, National Sales & Marketing Manager, Mereway: “More and more of our retailers are moving into selling bathrooms as well as their well-established kitchen business. We are finding that there is much more crossover between kitchen and bathroom retailers nowadays and this meant that for us, it really was the right time to invest in this particular aspect of our relationship with
ArtiCAD. And, we are delighted with the results and the quality of the graphics.” Mereway has established a strong reputation for innovative fitted bathrooms with a huge selection of colours and textures, including three shades of grey and two shades of concrete. “We have more options than most of our competitors, including offering matching cabinet and door fronts – whereas most suppliers just offer white cabinets regardless of the colour of the doors. Our commitment to innovation and the wide choices we offer are showcased to perfection in the new ArtiCAD graphics catalogue.” www.articad.com
