At Ultimate Storage Systems we are very excited about our long awaited product launch of Forterra™. This new line blends bold form and sustainability to create sleek, modern storage and organizational solutions. Forterra features engineered structured panels that deliver remarkable strength and sophistication with thicker, longer designs that have been unachievable until now.
Clean, modern design.

Extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio
The secret is the substance. An innovative honeycomb cell structure is bonded between the market’s most robust panel skins, which are more than double the thickness of those in other bonded-skin panels. This exclusive design allows surfaces to span up to 60” long horizontally and up to 2” thick—dimensions that can cause traditional composite panels to sag without necessary vertical interruptions to support them.


Sustainable, durable solutions
We understand that designing sustainable solutions means creating products that are durable, long-lasting and a smart investment for you. By creating more substance with less material, Forterra delivers elegantly-bold design while saving forest-based resources. Forterra panels showcase the power of sustainability—produced with recycled content and meeting the low emission requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Phase II standards.

5 Ways Toward An Organized Home Office


  • Designate your primary work zone a sacred space. Clutter can dull your focus and wrinkle your brow. Keep only your frequently used supplies on the desktop. You'll be surprised how a clean desk policy can de-stress even bill-paying.
  • Make room for what you're working on right now. At an arm's length, stow pens, stapler, clips, and the few references you use daily so you won't have to get up to rummage for them when you're on a roll.
  • Devote shelf space for inspirational display. Whether it's family photos, travel memorabilia or your kid's latest art project, plan on a specific place for special items that bring a smile to your day.
  • Prepare a pleasing visual aid to help keep you on task. Use a chalk or marker board to jot down your running list of to-dos, your best ideas, upcoming events, and reminders to other family members.
  • Set up spaces to suit your work style. In a ready-access area designated for items used frequently, clip or prop up pieces you need now to get the job done. In an archival space use file cabinets or deep drawers to file product warranties, old tax returns, and financial folders.
