McNichols' holey metals exposed on DIY program

McNichols Co., a Tampa-based designer and fabricator of architectural-grade perforated metal and floor grating, is getting some major national exposure courtesy of cable television's DIY Network.

McNichols' products are being showcased on the program “This New House,” which looks at construction and renovation projects. The company made a sample of its hole-punched wall panels for show host Amy Matthews, who displays it at the end of one episode and shows off other material samples.

Bill Tuxhorn, McNichols vice president of field marketing, is understandably happy with the exposure. “We believe everyone, from architects to individual home owners, will see endless possibilities when designing with our products.”
