Modified Products

Spin the Standard

Sometimes, a standard product just doesn't offer the fit, finish or function you desire or require for your space. We get it! At KI, we welcome the opportunity to “modify” or customize our standard product solutions. Our Modified Products Team is uniquely positioned to support the special details of your request. Read on to learn more about our tried-and-true process and be inspired by the exclusive solutions we've designed as modified products.
