October 21, 2024

A 2024 NECA ShowStopper Award was awarded to Arlington’s Furred Wall Box™ Kits at the 2024 NECA Show on September 29 in San Diego, CA.

Arlington’s Furred Wall Box Kits make challenging outlet box installations easy! There’s NO NEED to break out concrete block… install furring strips… or foam around the box. UL Listed, large volume Furred Wall Box mounts to drywall furring strips – or a concrete block wall between furring strips. Allows installers to place a box/outlet where it’s needed.

The annual Showstopper Showcase at the NECA Convention and Trade Show highlights the newest products and services on the market. Open one hour before the Trade Show, the Showcase gives attendees a chance to explore the newest products available, while a panel of expert judges selects the 25 winners. There were more than 170 entries this year.

Arlington thanks the judges and the industry for its recognition of our ongoing efforts in innovative product development.
