CleanTech Antimicrobial Hardware
Berenson has launched two hardware collections that off antimicrobial protection.
“Unlike other antimicrobial hardware products available on the market, which only inhibit the growth process of harmful bacteria, Berenson CleanTech Antimicrobial Hardware kills bacteria,” said Lorne Smith, president of Berenson Hardware.
The CleanTech series combines stylish hardware designs with Organo-functional silane antimicrobial technology. An added benefit of the CleanTech series is protection for consumers from allergies to chrome or nickel.
These special pieces of hardware have a wear layer that lets the home owner know when the anti-microbial protection has worn off. Red coloring will start to show through the polished chrome, satin nickel, or brushed nickel finish on the hardware when it is time to be replaced.
The Commence and Sektor (shown below) are available now and next month 5 new collections will be introduced in partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Komen for the Cure so keep on the look out for this news.

Chip It!
Sherwin-Williams has announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind web-based tool that allows consumers to select any online image and instantly identify the Sherwin-Williams paint colors that correspond to the colors contained within the picture.
Now when you see a color while surfing the Internet on sites such as Houzz or Pinterest, there is a tool that will make paint selection easier.
Once you’ve created a profile at www.letschipit.com, you will need to add the “CHIP IT!” bookmarklet to your Internet browser toolbar. This bookmarklet will allow you to identify up to ten Sherwin-Williams paint colors represented in online photos simply by scrolling over the image.
Don’t click the image because it will open any hyperlinks that may be associated with it. When your mouse hovers over the photo, small color swatches will appear and a blue “CHIP IT” button. Clicking that button will create the paint palette sample for you.
Here are a few examples I tried from a few photos I had bookmarked.
If you don’t want to use your Facebook profile to sign in, you can paste a URL address for the image into the Letschipit.com site to create your palette. If you are unsure of the image url, right-click it with your mouse and select “copy image url.”
