Multi-Family Construction- Arched Ceilings a trend setter for town homes, condo’s & apartment buildings!

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

The multi-family construction industry is very competitive and to make sure you succeed you will need to keep your construction costs low and your overall architectural design appealing. I know, I know. How do you keep your construction costs low without hurting your design? Simple! Archways & Ceilings Made Easy prefabricates all different types of arched ceilings from groin vaults, dome ceilings, barrel vaults, cove ceilings and more. We are able to create each custom ceiling at an affordable price so you do not have to skip out on that architectural design. The problem with most multi-family homes, whether it is a town home, apartment, or condo, they all tend to look the same and the majority of consumers start comparing apples to apples. Well to get that extra “apple” or added bonus, add a small barrel ceiling or groin vault in a hallway, a cove ceiling in the master, or archways in the doorways. Small details like these will give your multi-family construction job that custom detail that future residents will be looking for.

Custom Prefabricated Wood Framing Kits- We can make it and We can ship it!

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

No order is too big or too small. Archways and Ceilings Made Easy custom makes each prefabricated archway and ceiling kit to the customers dimensions. It can be one arch or a hundred arches, we treat every order with priority and care. We enjoy every part of the process from the design, take-off, manufacturing, packaging and shipping. We pride ourselves to make each step easy and fast.

Arched Ceiling 3D CAD Rendering 236x300 Custom Prefabricated Wood Framing Kits  We can make it and We can ship it!Design: Many of our customers send us their plans in a PDF format and ask for suggestions. We then put together a variety of different options for the customer and attach pictures to each design option making it easy to see what works best where and what each customer likes best. If the customer still wants a clearer understanding of how an archway or ceiling is going to look in their home, we will send them either a 2D CAD, 3D CAD or a rendering to help paint a clearer picture of what the finished archway or ceiling will look like. Not too mention, Archways and Ceilings can turn these options around generally in a day or two.

Take-Off: The take-off of a set of plans for a home can be done 2 ways. 1st, we can do them for the customer by simply grabbing all the measurements off the plans and generate a quote. 2nd- the customer can do their own take-off and send the dimensions in via email, fax, phone call or through the website. That’s right, I said website! Each customer has the ability to punch in their dimensions online and generate an instant quote. From there, customers can simply click place order.

Manufacturing: This part of the process is simple! With our patented bending techniques we are able to make each custom order within 5 business days. We guarantee that every product is made to the highest quality standards and care.

Prefabricated Archway and Ceiling Instructions 236x300 Custom Prefabricated Wood Framing Kits  We can make it and We can ship it!Packaging: This is a 2 pronged approach. 1st- Each archway or arched ceiling is packaged with full color instructions and videos that can be found online to properly install each particular product. Not to mention drywall videos to help each customer finish their prefabricated archway or ceiling kit. 2nd- We carefully package each product in a box or a crate to make sure the product arrives safely to the jobsite. We have gone through great lengths to make sure the product is securely packaged, on time and organized properly.

Shipping: Depending on the size of the order we will ship our products through a carrier like FedEX or LTL. The benefits of using FedEX is each customer instantly receives tracking information when the product is picked up from our plant. This way, each customer has the ability to see in real time where their product is and when they shall receive it. For LTL’s we snap pictures of the crate / packaging and send them to the customer via email. This way the customer knows that the product has been packaged and picked up for delivery.

So as you can see, we make it easy every step of the way! This is why we are Archways and Ceilings Made Easy.

Adding Some Flare to Your Already Custom Ceiling: Cove Ceilings and Oval Ceilings

Friday, December 17th, 2010

Did you know you can add custom features to your custom ceiling? Whether you are adding a barrel ceiling, groin ceiling, dome ceiling or cove ceiling you can always add custom features to make each of these ceilings unique. A few ways to customize a ceiling is by adding a light well or a reveal.

A light well or light ring allows for accent lighting to be added after drywall to help accentuate your custom ceiling with mood lighting or sometimes as a direct light source. See examples below

Adding a reveal to your ceiling is simply completed when you slightly furr in a particular ceiling. When you build your ceiling in slightly you create a unique ceiling that becomes more noticeable.  See example below of how we take a standard cove ceiling and add a reveal. It looks like a giant piece of crown molding.

When you are able to add a light well or a reveal you will ultimately help transform your custom ceiling into an eye popping feature of a home.

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Earlier this year at the 2010 International Builders Show Michael King with Home Talk USA came by our booth and asked if we would like to be guests on his Home talk radio show. He wanted to let his listeners hear about the innovative products Archways & Ceilings has to offer. So this last October we had the privilege to be guests and share our products with his listeners. We talked about everything from how we got started, what types of products we sell, the advantages, cost, and much more! So tune in to hear this amazing interview.

Prefabricated Archway Components revolutionizing the building industry!

Friday, November 5th, 2010

When you hear about Archways & Ceilings Made Easy or see them on the internet you will notice that we custom make prefabricated archways, groin vaults, dome ceilings, cove ceilings, barrel vaults and more. Naturally, you will associate their products with higher end custom homes. However, this is not completely accurate. Of course we love to go all out on custom home projects, but many of our customers are production builders, manufactured home builders, and wall panel plants. Their archways & ceilings products are perfect, affordable and fast and it just makes economic sense for them, and everyone in the building industry to use our products.

When building production level homes or  manufactured homes, three primary factors come into play:

  1. Time: The archways and ceilings line of products allows builders to increase their production times. For example, a normal archway which is traditionally framed out on the jobsite would take 30 minutes or so. With the Archways & Ceilings product, it would take 1-2 minutes. The same applies to a manufactured home facility or wall panel plant. All they have to do now is simply plug the arches in wherever necessary and move it on down the conveyor!
  2. Consistency: When supplying a product like a brand new beautiful home, it is very important to have each home replicate the model. A customer is buying his or her future home based on what they see in a model so it would only make sense that each archway be identical to that of the model. Not to mention, you will not have to worry about those crooked, out of round, mismatched archways again.
  3. Money: Time is money and fixing a consistency issue because of poor quality equals money as well. The bottom line is the entire Archways & Ceilings Line of Products is extremely affordable!  There are products for every level and style of home being built in the United States & Canada today.

So remember, if you want to speed up your production times, increase quality and save a buck or two then Archways & Ceilings Made Easy is the right choice for you.
