DECEMBER 2023

Another year has come and gone!

As we reflect back on this past year, we want to thank all of you for trusting in us. It has been an honor and pleasure working with all of you - contractors, decorators, vendors and all of our wonderful clients! Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We will be closing at noon today, December 21st, and will be closed for the remainder of the year so our hardworking team can spend time with their families and friends.

We will reopen on Tuesday, January 2 at 7am.

Read on below for the last newsletter of the year, and

have yourself a merry LITTLE Christmas!

a LITTLE gold

Everyone loves a little sparkle! Check out these new custom door styles that we have recently created.

We started with a classic shaker design then added a gold trim accent piece in the door.

This makes for an amazing added detail that really elevates the design! We can't wait to share final pictures using this door style.

Keep in mind that the possibilities are endless here at FCI...you are only limited by your imagination!

a LITTLE protection

Many of you will be hosting holiday get togethers this year, so make sure to protect your tops! If you made an investment on granite, quartzite, and/or quartz countertops, you already know about all the amazing pro's of using these products: durability, stain resistance, strength, etc. In order to maintain that investment, we also want to make sure you know the recommended 'do nots' that go along with these amazing products. Don't get on the naughty list when it comes to maintaining the longevity of your investment!

DO NOT use or let acidic items sit on your countertops (vinegar, citrus, nail polish remover, etc.).

DO NOT let spills sit on the surface, as they are easier to clean when taken care of quickly.

DO NOT use knives directly on the surface, make sure to use cutting boards.

DO NOT place hot pans directly on the surface. We always recommend using trivets on all surfaces!

DO NOT sit or stand on your tops, especially around cutout and overhang areas.

DO NOT use too strong of cleaners on your tops as it could cause cloudiness of your finish.

DO NOT use abrasive pads on your surface.

If you have further questions, give us a call or refer to the manufacturer of your countertops. You can also check out our website to find links to these businesses.

a LITTLE extra

After hosting this year, you may come to the realization that you need some extra refrigeration. Sub-Zero has various options and sizes to choose from. Undercounter beverage centers and wine storage, as well as refrigeration drawers are all great options to get all of your preferred beverages to the perfect temperature for your guests. Be prepared so you don't run out of cold drinks at your next gathering!
