July 2026 Software Updates
Pricing Changes & Product News
As we approach July 1st, we wanted to provide an update on software releases, upcoming pricing adjustments, new product introductions, and items being discontinued.
Software Updates
New software updates will be available on the Agents Only website on or before July 1, 2026.
RPM
Version: FTP 07.01.26.0A Release 1F2 Global
RDS
Version: July 2026 Release #01a
Upcoming Price Changes
Like many manufacturers, we continue to experience increases in raw material costs from several suppliers. These increases will be reflected in the July 1, 2026 pricing update.
Powder Coating Materials
Effective May 18, 2026, we incurred a 14.5% increase in the cost of powder coating raw materials.
It’s important to note that this does not mean powder-coated products will increase by 14.5%. Raw materials represent only a portion of the total manufacturing cost. Labor, production, and overhead expenses make up a larger percentage of the finished product cost.
HandiWall Products
Effective May 1, 2026, HandiWall implemented a 6% price increase across all product categories, including:
- Panels
- Trim
- Screws
- Accessories
Melamine
We have been notified of an additional melamine price increase scheduled for June 15, 2026. At this time, the exact amount of the increase has not been announced.
Once finalized, the updated pricing will be incorporated into the July RPM release.
Important Reminder
All new pricing becomes effective July 1, 2026, regardless of whether your software has been updated.

2025 Software Release
There are no major changes… just a couple of product price changes.
- Maple Butcherblock countertops are increasing 7% and the thickness is going from 1-1/4″ thick to 1-1/2″ thick. We’ve switched vendors a couple of times in the last couple of years and we are going to again in order to get lead times down and keep the cost down as best as we can.
- Black Edge Pulls are increasing 10%, with bar pulls and the new arch pull we are seeing less and less of the edge pulls, we will likely discontinue this pull late next year or 2026, for now we have a good supplier and plenty of stock but they just keep going up in price.
A new software release (RDS – Redline Design Software, and RPM – Redline Price Manager) will be coming out around January 15th and we will honor pricing until the end of January if the job was sold in between that time frame as usual.
Thank You!
