I guess I should contribute here. I feel like I have been a blabermouth since joining.

The multiple shape walls tend to be the most complicated to manufacture. It doesn't matter what brand. I am not in the plant on a regular basis, but whenever we have/have had an issue I try to research it as best as possible. Depending on the wall, the shapes can come from different pallets or layers. In the tumbling process several pallets of product all get mixed together. This means that if you get a pallet or two that go unnoticed that can quickly turn into 5-10 pallets that have problems. Again we do our best to find this and correct it quickly, but the QC folks drink a lot of Mountain Dew.(that is a joke of course)

I would also like to say that ya'll do it to yourself in some ways. The more crazy stuff you do with these wall systems the more critical it is to be on for every dimension. You are flipping and rotating walls units all over the place. There are spindle seatwalls and massive fireplace structures. These types of project require very tight dimensions on all sides.

Most of the multiple shaped walls run 9 or 10 inches deep so they aren't really meant to go to the height some guys build them either. A small height issue 1/32" for example gets to be an issue on a 6' tall wall(do not build a wall past the manufacturers recommendations without specific consent from that manufacturer).

None of this is intended to be an excuse or dodge. If you have a height issue, talk to your manufacturer and they should do everything to make it right!


Whew..ok quit making me have to be salesmanish!!
