No More Waiting for Water to Boil

Parrish & Company is excited to introduce yet another new product in our showrooms this Spring: the GE Cafe Series French Door Refrigerator with Hot Water Dispenser. In addition to chilled water, cubes, and crushed ice, this door dispenser allows you to pour hot, filtered water in minutes. With four preprogrammed settings for the most common food and drinks, hot water is available at a perfectly accurate temperature every time you need it. 

Simply select your temperature setting or customize the temperature you need, then use the knob to dispense up to 10 ounces of perfectly heated water. Water is purified through the only refrigeration filter tested and verified to remove 98 percent of five trace pharmaceuticals from water and ice, offering added peace of mind for you and your family. Plus, the ENERGY STAR rating means that both models of this refrigerator cost only $60 each per year to operate, on average.

Turn up the heat on convenience in your kitchen, and check out this cool (and hot!) new refrigerator from GE. Visit any Parrish showroom to see this do-it-all dispenser for yourself.

The Beauty of Stained Wood Without the Upkeep

High-maintenance homes are a thing of the past, and energy-efficient products that once were considered futuristic are now the norm. One thing, however, has remained the same throughout time: homeowners’ appreciation for the traditional beauty of wood.

If updating your home is at the top of your to-do list this spring, consider installing a new Clopay Ultra-Grain garage door. It delivers the best of both worlds, with the realism of natural wood and the low-maintenance and energy-efficient benefits of insulated steel.

Unlike real wood, however, it’s UV-resistant and impervious to moisture, so it won’t fade, rot, split, shrink or crack, saving you and the environment material, energy and resources necessary to maintain or replace door components.

Other benefits include:

* The painted steel surface simulates a real stained door without the hassles of staining and the ongoing maintenance of wood.

* The wood grain runs horizontal on stiles and vertical on panels for an authentic, natural look.

 

* Doors are available in Medium, Dark and Walnut finishes that complement entry doors and other exterior stained wood products.

* Doors are available in 8 3-layer models to meet a wide range of style preferences.

* The exterior surface has a stucco texture for a more natural wood grain look vs. a wood grain texture that runs in one direction.

* The qualified Gallery Collection doors are available in specific WINDCODE ratings.

* Window frames, grilles and inserts will be color matched to coordinate with each oak pattern. All window options are available.
