British West Indies Style Millwork Innovations from Hardie Boys, Inc., Will ‘Stoke Your Imagination’ at IBS, Exterior-trim Manufacturer Says

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Dec. 19, 2016—“It’s about sharing transformative ideas with the

design and construction communities,” says Lionel Guzman, vice president of Hardie Boys, Inc.

Explaining why the manufacturer of premium residential exterior components will exhibit for the

first time at the NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 10 – 12, he

adds, “Come see us at IBS and we’ll open your mind to a whole new realm of options in

millwork. You’ll see things you’ve never thought about, or things you’ve thought about but

didn’t know how to execute.

For 20 years of expanding the possibilities of millwork for the South Florida climate, the Hardie

Boys organization designs, manufactures and installs high-quality columns, louvers, brackets,

corbels, railings, soffit systems and other trim elements. Everything they manufacture is

engineered for the demands of upscale coastal living. “From southeast Florida to the Keys and

Grand Cayman Island,” Mr. Guzman says, “top architects and builders have kept coming back to

us for three reasons:

• Superior Design

• Outstanding Craftsmanship

• The Most Durable Materials

“On the design side, we’re deeply immersed in the British West Indies style and regional variants

like Dutch West Indies, Coastal, Florida Vernacular and Key West. That means our stock

components are faithful to historic models. And the custom designs we fabricate are a seamless

blend of originality and authenticity, as well as creativity.

“Hardie Boys craftsmanship,” he said, “reflects decades of millwork experience, continuous

innovation and intimate understanding of traditional and modern fabrication techniques. Add to

that our patented process for producing radiused profiles, and our high-performance bonding

system, and you get unbeatable fit-and-finish along with amazingly short turnaround times, ready

for shipping to builders.

“Finally, no material stands up to coastal conditions better than advanced cellular PVC from our

go-to supplier, Versatex, LLC, in Pittsburgh. Versatex gives us much more flexibility in design

and scale than conventional building products like wood, aluminum or foam. And it’s the most

durable, climate-resistant, maintenance-free material of its kind.

“Free exchange of creative concepts and practical information has always spelled success for our

clients and ourselves,” Mr. Guzman says. “We intend to build on that practice at IBS.”

Installation demonstrations will be ongoing at the Hardie Boys 20’ x 30’ booth. They intend to

demonstrate the ease of installation working with their standard stock product line that is

showcased in their catalog. Both principals, Lionel and Dave Guzman, as well as their

professional team, will be available to discuss their expertise, the standard product line and

custom design applications. The booth will feature videos and photography showing Hardie

Boys products in use on both new construction and remodeling projects. See the Hardie Boys at
