K2 Mounts, an industry leader in advanced A/V mounting solutions, was awarded a 2008 Innovative Housing Technology Awards (IHTAs) Wednesday, June 25, 2008 during a reception at the InterContinental San Francisco Hotel during PCBC 2008.

The IHTAs are presented by TecHome Builder magazine (www.techomebuilder.com/ihta), and considered the most prestigious housing technology award for the homebuilding industry.  At this year's event, K2 Mounts was one of 30 companies recognized for their outstanding contributions to technology in the homebuilding industry.

In the supplier category for Innovative Home Technology Products & Services, K2 Mounts received the best Home Theater Product for the Underbed Lift�, an extraordinary and innovative motorized lift designed by MK1 Studios, to completely conceal a 42" or 50" flat panel TV with an entire 7.1 surround sound system beneath a king or queen sized bed.  The customized folding front panel and a wide selection of custom finishes allows users to integrate high tech equipment seamlessly into a home's existing decorative style.

In addition, to the flat panel TV, the Underbed Lift is capable of concealing a complete audio/video system including amplifiers, DVD player, VCR or game console, a large subwoofer and speakers. The left, right, and center channels mount beneath the screen, and move in tandem with the lift when the optional Rotation feature is added. The lift can also be effortlessly integrated into any automation system.
 
Taking only 35 seconds to deploy, the Underbed Lift completely eliminates bulky cabinetry at the foot of the bed and only requires 8² of clearance between the bed and floor. It is easily installed as a retrofit or in new construction due to its unique and versatile design.
 
"We are elated to win the prestigious IHTA for the Underbed Lift," said Tony Grasso, vice president of sales and marketing at K2 Mounts. "This award recognizes the year's most significant advancement in home technologies and IT solutions by the best product manufacturers, integrators and builders in the housing industry. We are honored to be included among this elite group of people."
