May 31, 2005 -- The UrbanEdge, by Julien Home Refinements represents the true essence of understated modernism in the kitchen. Its crisp and exact lines articulate the splendor of hand crafted stainless steel, unlike any other kitchen sink. Each geometrically shaped bowl, drainboard, and worktop surface has precision and detail only found in a Julien sink.
“ When we introduced this very angular and modern sink to our customers in Europe, the reaction was extremely positive. ”
“When we introduced this very angular and modern sink to our customers in Europe, the reaction was extremely positive. We knew then, that when the timing was right, the UrbanEdge would come to America and be a success,” says Lloyd LeBlanc, Director of Residential Division, Julien Home Refinements. “We are extremely excited about the debut at K/BIS this year and can’t wait to see the reactions from our dealers,” continues Mr. LeBlanc.
The UrbanEdge Collection consists of a diverse selection of undermount sinks ranging in size from 13” x 17” to double bowl sinks up to 36” x 17”; Farmhouse Sinks, Worktop Sinks, as well as the Kitchen Island. There are 17 models offered in this collection and all main bowl depths are a practical 10” deep and the back ledge is wider than most sinks so that there is generous space to install faucets and several accessories without having to crowd the workspace. Julien’s unique and highly innovative features such as,
tilt-out drawers, integrated drainboards, and coordinating accessories are also included with several of the UrbanEdge sinks. And any Julien sink can be customized to specific dimensions and configurations.
“Architects and designers continue to be impressed and thrilled with our ability to fabricate sinks and countertops to their specific design and project requirements. But even more so, they are in awe at the detail and quality in our finish work, and make a point to let us know,” adds Céline Marcotte, Communications Manager, Julien Home Refinements.
Julien’s manufacturing process has also given them a reputation as “Masters of Stainless Steel Fabrication.” Although many other companies claim to make fine stainless steel sinks, most of their sinks are “stamped” and not scored, cut and formed into sculptured bowls – and not many can boast that they only use high-quality, 16-gauge stainless steel that is hand welded and polished. These high-grade materials and attention to detail provide unparalleled distinction in design and functionality; the result is easy-maintenance, long-term value and an uncompromising quality. Every sink by Julien comes with a lifetime guarantee.
