In 2006 we began a long process of prototyping and testing larger profiles of our grid system
to accommodate the thicker panels typically used in wall panel systems. Turns out,
it's harder to make a larger version of this profile--it connects to itself--than it was
to make our smaller CeilingLink version, and that wasn't easy either
(see About Us for CeilingLink).
But we had overcome other challenges in bringing CeilingLink to market, and we were determined
to create and introduce a DIY version of an economical wall panel system into a market that is
dominated by expensive (including some very expensive) contractor installed wall panel systems.
In late 2011, our efforts at fabrication were rewarded with a product ready to ship; we produced
our first inventory, and started building the web site. Now that WallingLink is launched and shipping,
we're continuing our development work with related systems, including pre-fabricated soffit
enclosures using the same "connects-to-itself" technology that we pioneered with CeilingLink.
