A CCU-SEAM announced it's offering of two new specialty seaming systems - designed for use on all Natural, Engineered and "Green" types of slab countertop products at StonExpo 2009.
Both Accu-Seam systems have had extensive testing done to certify them as compatible for use on Solid Surface countertop materials, with very positive results to date. Both systems will be sold in the United States as well as through distributors world wide.
The VGi-1 or Variable Geometry - Inside Corner System gives Countertop Fabricators the ability to adjust their inside mitered corner seams as each individual kitchen's geometry or inside angles of the cabinets - vary.
The unique quality the VGi-1 offers Fabricators, is the ability to perform a curved inside mitered corner seam. It eliminates the traditionally more difficult method of performing a sharp angled turn in the mitered seam.
"With the VGi-1, Fabricators are able to do inside mitered corner seams much easier and faster, as we have proven with this new device, so our catch phrase is 'Get with the Curve,'" says Kevin M. Padden, Owner of AZ School of Rock and Accu-Seam.
"A second Accu-Seam system also being offered is the S-1 that is designed to do serpentine seams in stones that have extreme color variation at the seam lines. The Serpentine seam helps to break up the visual impact of a straight seam line where color movement stands out more - the Serpentine seam provides camouflage," says Padden.
Padden added, "The diamond tooling that works with both systems, provides chip free, tight seams that up until now, could only be done on expensive CNC machines. Now, Fabricators that couldn't afford a CNC machine to do their seams in the past, can provide their customers with precision seams.
"We've been teaching Fabricators to do straight seams by hand for the last two years, and recently, added the Seam Phantom to teach mechanized straight seams. Accu-Seam now offers the perfect addition to shops that may already have a Seam Phantom, and combined with Gorilla Grips to set their seams -Fabricators will have the best of all worlds."
The Accu-Seam VGi-1 and S-1 systems debuted at StonExpo 2009, held at The Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 22, 23 & 24, 2009.
