Builders Plumbing and Heating Supply has remodeled its five showrooms in Ann Arbor, Midland, Traverse City, Grand Rapids and Lansing, MI.

The 50-year-old wholesale distributor opened new Kohler® showrooms in the five Michigan locations, featuring a gallery presentation of lifestyle suites, working displays and new products.

In addition to Kohler, the showrooms offer products from manufacturers including Maax, Pearl, Acryline, Ultra, VitrA, Elkay, Blanco, Brizo, Delta, Hansgrohe, Grohe, Moen, ShowHouse and Lennox Fireplaces. The Ann Arbor, MI, location also has Kallista products.

The wholesaler says its goal for each showroom is to provide customers with up-to-the-minute design ideas, product manuals and brochures, and a trained and knowledgeable staff.
