DuraLedge Reviews
“As a project manager I buy these for the semi-custom box cabinets our trimmers install. Easy to install and they look great.”
“Just like drawer glides, hinges, or a double trash roll out, I added the operations needed to mount farmhouse and apron sinks to my CAD software. Incredibly fast and simple.”
“Kitchen and bath remodels are our main focus. When a client specifies an apron front sink, we use the sink lifts to save time and make money.”
