Featured Fabricator Spotlight: Ironwood Manufacturing – Elevated Bathroom Elegance Meets Formica® Corporation
Based in Arlington, WA, Ironwood focuses on craftsmanship and creative design, transforming washroom installations into architectural highlights. At the heart of many of these projects are Formica® Brand products, which provide the durability, versatility, and aesthetic range needed to bring Ironwood’s designs to life.
Seamless Use of Formica® Surfaces
Ironwood frequently incorporates Formica® Laminate and Compact Laminate into their partitions, offering designers an extensive palette of colors, patterns and finishes. These materials allow Ironwood to deliver solutions that are practical and easy to maintain, while still meeting the creative demands of architects and designers.
Custom Creations That Inspire
Beyond performance, Ironwood is known for bold customization. Their offering spans door styles from louvers and captured panels to intricate inlays, engraving and unique shapes. By pairing this design flexibility with the wide possibilities of Formica® Brand products, Ironwood demonstrates how restroom partitions can reflect both individuality and sophistication.
Function, Privacy and Accessibility
Ironwood places a strong emphasis on functionality. Options such as Zero Sightline doors, transoms, and full-height systems enhance privacy, while multiple mounting configurations, including European style, floor-to-ceiling, headrail braced, and ceiling-hung systems, give designers the flexibility to match both structural needs and aesthetic preferences.
Tools and Sustainability
To make the design process easier, Ironwood offers digital tools like their Online Configurator, helping architects and designers create cut sheets, drawings and specifications quickly. Their commitment to quality extends to sustainability as well, with environmentally responsible practices that include CARB II and TSCA Title VI compliance, and the use of recycled and low-emitting materials.
Champion Fabricators: Formica® Build-a-Thon
In addition to their daily work with architects and designers, Ironwood recently earned top honors by winning the Formica® Build-a-Thon, a competition that invited fabricators to design and build a toy box for the charity of their choice using Formica® Laminate. Ironwood’s creative spaceship-and-alien-themed design captured first place, earning them the opportunity to make a lasting impact in their local community.
Ironwood selected the Arlington Boys & Girls Club of Snohomish County as their charity partner, an organization located just down the road from their shop. Along with the toy box, Formica Corporation contributed $1,000 and filled the box with basketballs, soccer balls, footballs, and kickballs – supplies to support the Club’s youth sports leagues, particularly those serving local Indigenous communities north of Seattle.
The donation was unveiled on August 27 during the Club’s summer camp finale, where nearly 100 children took part in the celebration. This Build-a-thon finale highlighted the creativity and generosity of Ironwood Manufacturing, and we were proud to partner with them in bringing joy, energy and opportunity to young people in their community.
