See how the company is turning home tech into stylish kitchen and bath assets. By Loren Kessell
Although the footprints of smart home devices have become smaller and sleeker, the obstacle of seamless integration is sometimes still present. Israel-based company WALL-SMART is solving this issue with a unique installation approach that makes tech sit flush with wall surfaces, dramatically minimizing their visual impact.
WALL-SMART was established in 2013 on the foundation of changing the ways walls look and function by developing aesthetically pleasing mounting solutions. They manufacture customized in-ceiling and wall mounts that render Wi-Fi access points, touchscreens, tablets and keypads, and other devices less noticeable but still easily accessible and convenient to use, and without compromising their performance. All products are made of MDF, which consists of wood chips, plant fibers and other materials.
With several categories of mounts available, WALL-SMART simplifies the search for the right fit for each home tech device. The mounts in each category are engineered to meet the specific installation requirements for several wall surfaces and applications. Some of these include:
- Solid Surface: Developed to recess a variety of home tech devices flush with the surfaces of solid materials commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms (metal, glass, marble, and granite).
- Retrofit Mounts: For designers updating existing homes. These require no construction or paint work to install, making them ideal for speedy installations due to project constraints.
- New Construction Mounts: Designed for a flush installation of a variety of smart home components within the drywall as a home is being constructed.
WALL-SMART’s products introduce a modern, innovative approach to home tech installation, making them ideally suited for progressive, early-adopter design/build/home tech integration markets in North America. The company also partners with several global manufacturers including Crestron, Basalte, Lutron and others.
The company prides itself on its “mass customization” manufacturing style, whereby products are “made to order” yet “mass produced.” All mounts are custom designed and engineered to the specific performance and aesthetic features of an individual home technology device, rendering a precise fit and finish and optimal operation.
