We appreciate this industry input. Our Meridian® Solid Surface products (from Tower Industries) follow these new trends: 1. Made in Ohio. Sustainability is about where the product is made verses shipping materials from overseas. Smaller carbon footprint from Meridian®. 2. Labor shortage. We employ skilled workers right here in northeast Ohio. We are supportive of the communities of our families here. 3. Labor shortage (again). Our products are designed, poured, and manufactured in-house verses premade sheets that only come in one size. We have thousands of designs. Let us find the right fit for your site to ensure a smooth and on time build. 4. Durability. Our products don't leak or break. You wont need to tear our systems out and recklessly throw other options away - put in Meridian®. #merdiansolidsurface #madeintheusa #durability #solidsurfaceshowers #sustainability
