1. BuildClean
The BuildClean HEPA air scrubber is a two-part air filtration system. The coarse pre-filter traps the bigger things you can see, and a HEPA filters out everything you can’t. The scrubber has an auto setting that will turn the unit on when needed. Dust in the work space is drawn into the unit and vented out of the house, preventing it from migrating to other rooms or into forced air systems.
2. Hang-It-Yourself (Formerly EazyHang)
Hang-It-Yourself is a cabinet installation system built to save time and hang cabinets level every time. Because it’s a cleat system, remodelers can cut the rail to fit. Once the rail system is in place, remodelers can mount the brackets on the back of the cabinet and you lift it up, slide it against the rail, and wait to hear it click in place. You can mount the system flush so you can get it almost all the way to the ceiling, or you can install it in the back where you can install a crown to hide it.
