UNIQUE BUSINESS
OFFERINGS FROM LOCAL
ENTREPRENEUR
Pittsburgh-based entrepreneur Caroline
LaRocco manages two very different
businesses with unique products—
Structural Protective Products, Inc. (SPP)
and Elegant Dining Fashions.
SPP offers the Ultra Jamb Reinforcer
Kit, which has been used extensively
by homeowners nationwide as well as
housing authorities, property management
companies and general contractors. The
Ultra Jamb is a convenient and affordable
icmags.com
door jamb repair kit used to cover up the
damaged area of a door jamb so that the
screen door can easily be re-attached.
The two main causes for screen doors
being ripped out of door jambs are heavy
winds and excessive usage. Since the
weather has been getting more extreme
across the country, there is a growing
demand for this convenient, affordable
solution to an ongoing problem.
And with the increase in rental
properties, housing authorities and
property management companies are
ordering cases of the Ultra Jamb Kit to
install onto door frames as a preventive
measure to cut down on the need to send
out maintenance personnel to repair door
jambs and/or replace screen doors. For
more information, visit ultrajamb.com.
The other business, Elegant Dining
Fashions, features a stunning line of
“glamour bibs” for women.
This new women’s accessory was created
in a wide variety of lovely styles, and looks
nothing like the kind of bib most people
would picture. The bibs are gaining in
popularity with both career women and
seniors who are retired or semi-retired but
love to dress up daily and dine out on a
regular basis.
These chic clothing protectors are a
unique item gaining an interest with gift
shops, beauty salons, women’s catalogs, day
spas and more. The bibs can be a charming
gift for the woman who has everything!
