KraftMaster Renovations Wins Contractor of the Year (CotY) Award - Chatham Firm Receives Award for Residential Bath

    CHATHAM, NJ, June 11, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "Receiving this recognition from our peers in the industry is a significant honor," says Robert Gockeler, founder of the Chatham-based firm. "It's also a great testament to the craftsmanship and hard work regularly demonstrated by the entire KraftMaster team, as well as our talented partners on this project."

The award-winning renovation designed by Kimberly Platt transforms the home of a traveling business professional requested a peaceful, zen-like atmosphere to retreat to on weekends. The customer desired natural finishes and textures, eco-friendly materials, a Japanese soaking tub, large shower, storage solutions in a spa-like setting. But, the existing master bath was not large enough, or laid out in a manner that would accommodate.

Working with designer Kimberly Platt, the Kraftmaster team reconfigured the space to allow for the needed size by flipping the bathroom and closet as well as relocating the entrance from the hallway. By installing a wall-mounted toilet, more floor space was created. A walk-in shower without glass surround incorporates the soaking tub. Lyptus (sustainable wood) cabinets, Eco by Cosentino countertops made of recycled materials, woodgrain, slip resistant floor tile and pebble accent tile creates the atmosphere desired by the homeowner. A sun tunnel skylight over the tub provides natural light and task lights with recessed LED lamps result in an exotic room. See the full process of the remodel online.
