Glen Oak adds Closet Builder™ storage systems to product offering

Montello, Wisconsin • July 20, 2006: Glen Oak Lumber & Milling customers can now add professional grade closet and storage system components to their deliveries of other quality products for home interiors. As of May 2006, Closet Builder precision-crafted components are manufactured for Glen Oak Lumber by Space-Metrics USA, LLC—a Glen Oak subsidiary located near the growing conglomerate's corporate headquarters in Montello, Wisconsin.

Closet Builder components are produced in durable ¾"-thick thermofused melamine and are suitable for home or commercial use. Available in white, maple and cherry finishes, the professional grade systems' shelves and vertical panels come in 12" and 16" depths. The panels are hole-drilled on a 32mm system which facilitates easy installation, plus flexibility in planning and design. Solid 5/8"-thick melamine drawers with a flat face or moulded profile come in white or maple in 18", 21", 24" and 30" widths, three heights and 16" depth, to maximize storage space. Components can be combined in numerous ways to create a custom storage solution for every room of the home.

Glen Oak's storage systems can be floor mounted or wall mounted. A patented wall-mount system uses full-metal brackets and a laminate rail for easy installation, good looks and strength. The Closet Builder product line also includes adjustable chrome steel hanging rods and a good selection of accessories, such as baskets, drawer dividers, tie racks, etc. The entire program is a natural complement to the hardwood products Glen Oak has been selling to building material dealers since 1981.

"A number of our customers are eager to capitalize on the emerging closet and home organization market," explains Glen Oak CEO Tom Talbot about why Glen Oak has expanded into components for customized closets, pantries, mudrooms and more. "In addition to our Closet Builder products, we offer a dealer training program that can jump-start our customers in the closet industry—making them an ever greater resource to their own customers."
