Scranton Products Releases Three New Collections
Aug 13, 2010 | Posted By: Maria F.Scranton Products is proud to introduce three new collections of innovative, exciting colors that add to their present Classic Collection that consists of (Burgundy, Fossil, Charcoal Grey, Black, Grey, Mocha, Blueberry, White, Desert Beige, Parchment, Hunter Green and Linen). The Designer Collection maintains a bold, contemporary look. Concrete is a casual gray-beige color that adds a calm, modern feel to any restroom, locker room, or dressing room. Titanium combines rugged industrial look with a soft, elegant gray. Shale is a deep, mysterious gray to create a bold statement. Mahogany is a dark and rich red-brown, while Sequoia is a brighter wood-tone, both of which create a stylish, natural atmosphere. Lastly, Java is a jazzy shade of mocha that adds a classy, chic feel to any environment.
While the Mosaic Collection, which will be available in the third quarter 2010, introduces a new style of natural, earthy looking colors which are speckled with a medley of hues to add depth and dimension to an interior. Mosaics are available in Titanium, Black, Concrete, Paisley, Shale, and Java.
The Metallic Collection resembles the bold, tough look of metal with the soft brilliance of metallic shine. These lustrous colors include Bronze, Stainless, and Nickel.
Scranton Products is also introducing three new textures to their line. The Hammered texture creates a bold dimension to any color. Rotary Brush creates the look of real metal in Metallic colors and the Contour texture gives crisp smooth look that compliments the Designer Collection. These new textures can be combined with any color, whether original or new.
Note that there is no additional cost associated with new colors and textures.

Product Code Compliance
Feb 23, 2010 | Posted By: Austin SiewertThere have been many questions that relate to Code Compliance and responsibility for meeting code requirements on Product Installation. All codes can be different based upon municipality and job requirements. Scranton Products has reached out to the Department of Justice for clarification on Code Compliance. The section below illustrates the DOJ stance on code compliance:
SEC.303. New construction and alterations in public accommodations and commercial facilities 42 U.S.C. § 12183 : US Code - Section 12183
(a) Application of term
Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, as applied to public accommodations and commercial facilities, discrimination for purposes of section 12182(a) of this title includes -(1) a failure to design and construct facilities for first occupancy later than 30 months after July 26, 1990, that are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, except where an entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements of such subsection in accordance with standards set forth or incorporated by reference in regulations issued under this subchapter; and (2) with respect to a facility or part thereof that is altered by, on behalf of, or for the use of an establishment in a manner that affects or could affect the usability of the facility or part thereof, a failure to make alterations in such a manner that, to the maximum extent feasible, the altered portions of the facility are readily accessible.
As a manufacturer of plastic toilet partitions we do not design nor construct facilities in accordance with Section 303 “New construction and alterations in public accommodations and commercial facilities.” Toilet partitions are considered an accessory to the facility, and the example used relative to restrooms was a hand dryer. It is a product applied to a facility, not the design and construction of a facility.
Based on this interpretation and discussions with the DOJ, it is clear that Code Compliance is the Architect/GC responsibility. It is imperative that all Dealers ensure Code Compliance when the review of the Submittal Drawings takes place. Scranton Products cannot be held accountable for changes to approved drawings that do not meet code requirements.

Scranton Products New Configurator Program is Operational
Sep 8, 2008 | Posted By: Austin Siewert
Scranton Products new Configurator Program is operational and has been used by our estimating department to generate quotes for several weeks. Most toilet stall quotes are now being provided using this new system. Vanities, benches, lockers and special condition orders will still be quoted in the traditional manner. You may notice the quotes generated using this new system have a slightly different numbering sequence than traditional quotes and the quantity of materials ordered is represented by openings instead of the number of stalls and screens. For example, if you request one stall and one urinal screen, the configurator quote will list these as 3 openings. The stall is one opening and the urinal screen is actually two openings, one on each side of the screen. Your requested material will be represented on the shop drawings which are automatically drawn with each quote. The pricing discounts remain unaffected whether a quote is generated on the configurator or in the traditional manner.
The use of this new program will allow us to offer a higher level of service to our customers. Customer training classes are currently being offered on the use of this tool and it’s self service capabilities. For a current schedule of the available class sessions please contact mtachino@scrantonproducts.com
Scranton Products would like to thank all of you for your business and look forward to growing our business together in the future.
