Editor's Bookmarks - September 2011

July 19, 2011

Each month RECORD reviews building product related web sites and blogs that might be of interest to our readership. We visit each site, kick the tires a bit, and share what it is about and how it functions. Please let us know if there is a site you've found particularly useful, well-designed, or easy to navigate. — Rita Catinella Orrell

Tile of Spain, U.S. micro-site
www.tileofspainusa.com
Known for its colorful and durable tile products, Tile of Spain is introducing a new micro-site for U.S. architects, contractors, and designers. But don’t let “micro” fool you: the site is packed with a glossary of tile types, access to Continuing Education Units, a blog featuring tile manufacturers, and an extensive product specification index. Interested parties can also browse Tile of Spain-sponsored events, conferences, and competitions.

Duravit
www.duravit.us.
Duravit has a new online home for browsing and specifying bathroom products: www.duravit.us. Eschewing the typically clunky, disordered web pages of many manufacturing companies, Duravit’s new, streamlined site is attractive and easy to navigate. The site is complemented by Duravit’s micro-sites for sustainable products, world showrooms, and line of kitchen products.
