Dale Kuhns, co-owner of Shipshewana-based Polyfusion Designs, said his business started as the result of a desire to keep himself occupied after working hours at his previous job.
“I was working at Grand Design RV and wanted something to do in the afternoons,” Kuhns said. “This opportunity became available. Plus, I could work full time. It was a great opportunity. I knew I could make it work.”
Kuhns noted that he saw an advertisement to buy a division of Wingard’s Custom Plastics. “They needed more room to put in another computer numerical control machine,” he said. “So Wingard’s decided to sell this division.”
Polyfusion Designs does various work on doors. “We have the trim that goes around the door,” Kuhns said. “I can get hold of poly interior doors if someone wants that.” Polyfusion Designs also offers baseboards. “The standard is three-and-three-fourths, but we’ll make any custom size requested,” Kuhns said. Lately, a lot of people want the B base.”
Chair rail trim and poly materials are also available. “We have OSC for the outside corner and ISC for the inside corner,” Kuhns said.
Polyfusion Designs has a lot of different colors available.
“Our poly won’t fade or rot,” Kuhns said. “It will always be the same color. It’s great for bathrooms, garages, wash bays, shops, or any place with dampness present. We have 20-some different colors, with some having a wood-grain look.”
Polyfusion Designs also offers measuring, delivery and installation. “We do like to see the project they want trimmed,” Kuhns said. “We then measure and deliver within three to four weeks. Installation is also available if so desired.”
Kuhns noted that it makes him very happy when his customers are extremely pleased with their measuring, delivery and installation. “It’s the do-it-yourself homeowner,’” Kuhns said. “It’s really nice. You just square it to the window and pin nail it to the wall.”
