Fisher & Paykel is pleased to announce the launch of its Trade Resources platform, a next-generation solution for the brand’s trade partners.

Improving upon The Kitchen Tools interface that had previously served as a gateway for product access files for the A&D community and builders, the brand developed this new program with leading global BIM software to ensure a better user experience. It offers a more comprehensive interface and all files available are optimized for multi-application use. The extensive Trade Resources portal offers everything a trade professional might require from project concept and modeling capabilities to post installation with specification documentation.

“It is our goal to offer a premium human-centered experience to all of our audiences,” said Fisher &. Paykel North American President Kevin Dexter. “We’ve developed this improved platform to ensure that architects, designers, builders, specifiers, developers and other industry professionals have a seamless experience with our brand from start to finish. With a new user interface, the portal offers flexibility in modeling, scheduling and project management through purpose-built file types that offer accuracy and sophistication.”

Technical content available to users includes 3D files for Revit, ArchiCad, Sketchup and Rhino, 2D CAD files in ‘dxf’ and ‘dwg’ formats, specifications guides, data sheets and planning guides. In addition, hinge articulation files, a higher level of dimensional information and alternative installation files, are available. The platform offers a variety of download options, allowing users to download only files of interest on a product or to download all files in a zip bundle.

The new Trade Resources portal is purposely developed to offer industry professionals complete design freedom when working with Fisher & Paykel appliances for their projects. The brand looks forward to welcoming all members of the trade to this new interface.
