Watch this short video to hear about the natural stone offerings at MSI, a supplier of beautiful, long-lasting surfaces featured in the ReVISION House Scottsdale.
Susan Raterman, President of The Raterman Group and Owner of ReVISION House Scottsdale, visited the MSI Phoenix showroom. She spoke with Beata Van Den Berg, builder and architect manager at MSI. The two discussed the company’s successes and the advantages of choosing MSI.
With a wish list including sustainable and durable materials with timeless style, Raterman turned to MSI for surface expertise. Raterman’s remodel of her Scottsdale home will highlight the beautiful natural stone.
From countertops to flooring to walls, MSI has the newest styles ready to try out. The multiple design tools and style quizzes on the company’s website help visualize the best option for a space. In addition, MSI offers a large product line at affordable prices, creating a beautiful space for everyone.
Sustainability rings loud and clear at MSI, as they constantly seek new environmental solutions within the supply chain. For example, they have eliminated the use of styrofoam packaging and traded crates for pallets, reducing wood usage by 70 percent. In addition, MSI avoids the use of chemicals in the extraction or fabrication and switched to efficient lighting and electric vehicles in their facilities. They also offer tiles manufactured from stone waste.
The ReVISION House Scottsdale is taking shape! Keep up with its progress here.
