CLEVELAND, July 21, 2014 - The Lubrizol Corporation announces that its BlazeMaster® Fire Sprinkler Systems kicked-off the summer by recently winning two industry-related accolades. The season got underway for BlazeMaster when it was named one of BUILDINGS magazine's Top Money-Saving Products for 2014.
"Builders are constantly looking for money-saving solutions and it's something the Lubrizol CPVC team is keenly aware of," explains Mark Knurek, Market Development Manager for Lubrizol's BlazeMaster business. "So we strive to bring value with each installation of a BlazeMaster system. We definitely appreciate the recognition from BUILDINGS for our efforts."
BUILDINGS recognized BlazeMaster with the award for providing fire protection professionals with lower material costs when compared to metallic options and a quick, simple installation process.

The advertising efforts of the BlazeMaster marketing team also received recognition when it was presented with an AdStudy® Award from Signet Research Inc. The award was presented "in recognition of advertising which achieved outstanding readership responses as measured against all other ads." The AdStudy Award was the result of an ad readership study conducted by Signet for the March/April issue of the NFPA Journal in which the BlazeMaster ad ranked the highest for recognition and readership among all of the ads in the issue. The award was presented to the BlazeMaster marketing team by Kelli Nilsson, Sales Representative for the NFPA Journal during an impromptu ceremony at the BlazeMaster booth at this year's NFPA Convention and Expo in June in Las Vegas.
