We understand making significant changes to your home’s exterior can seem like a daunting task, but we’ve come up with a solution to make the process easy, fun and informative. Seeing is believing, and we invite you to come see the quality and craftsmanship for yourself in our village-style showrooms.

Our showrooms are set up with small-scale homes outfitted in preferred products allowing you to get up close and see every product in action— like this house of sliding and folding patio doors.

This showroom home offers a sampling of options available from one of our newest suppliers, QFort. Their line of sliding and bi-fold patio doors is the perfect solution if your goal is to bring the outside inside. Adding more glass to your home allows more light in, and QFort windows and doors do it without compromising energy efficiency.

Complimenting the modern, European design of the QFort patio doors, the exterior of this home is clad with Gentek’s Align Composite siding to create a practical and on-trend exterior. We also used Gentek’s premium vinyl soffit and fascia to turn an often overlooked part of the home into an eye-catching feature.

Moving indoors, this home features a Ghostwood Reclaimed Wood accent wall to offset the crispness of the white siding and demonstrate the versatility of Ghostwood products.

Creating an eye-catching exterior for your home can be easily achieved by using a mixture of materials and textures. This home’s exterior begins with Ghostwood Reclaimed Wood soffit and fascia and compliments the wood texture with sleek steel siding. The Longboard Siding combines the natural design and colour of wood with lightweight performance-engineered aluminum to deliver a low-maintenance siding that will not rot, warp, peel or fade. Installed both vertically and horizontally, the long sleek lines of this siding add a greater sense of height and length to the home. Pillars and accent walls of Be On Stone add a sense of strength and stability to offset the warmth of the reclaimed wood and the wood-like siding. The different materials come together to create a nature-inspired exterior that will blend in in any environment.

Moving indoors, two walls of Ostaco Enersense Windows were installed to create an open and inviting space that takes full advantage of natural light.

This home is an excellent example of how embracing multiple materials, textures, and colours can create a unique exterior that will help set your home apart from all others.

Building off the contemporary architecture, we selected exterior products that aligned with the Scandinavian-inspired design. Monochromatic hues were chosen for the siding, windows and doors to create a cohesive exterior and allow the different textures and small details to shine through. And much like real-life contemporary homes, natural light was maximized in this showroom home using floor-to-ceiling windows and a large sliding patio door. The small deck out front was covered in light grey aluminum decking and a glass railing system to provide a little bit of contrast without straying too far from the overall goal. The result is a contemporary home that reflects today’s modern design trends. Explore all of the products and materials used in this home below.

Our showrooms are set up with small-scale homes outfitted in preferred products allowing you to get up close and see every product in action— like this cottage-inspired indoor-outdoor living space.

Today, homeowners are looking to expand their living space and blend the indoors with the outdoors— and larger decks and covered outdoor living spaces are the perfect way to achieve this. In this cottage-inspired home, we’ve blended the indoors with the outdoors by using a large-panel LePage Millworks sliding door. These doors offer plenty of clear viewing while maintaining energy efficiency and lift onto a solid track to make opening and closing effortless.

Shifting “outdoors,” we’ve lined the deck with two kinds of railings. Glass railings provide a clear and unobstructed view, while traditional railings provide the safety and accent of colour that some homeowners prefer. Both styles of railings can also be used effectively indoors. The outdoor living space is then maximized with an Aristocrat retractable awning to offer protection from sunlight and light rainfalls— making the aluminum deck useable in all types of weather.

As an added bonus, we’ve used Ghostwood Reclaimed Wood siding inside this home to add warm wainscoting and a unique ceiling feature. The result is an indoor-outdoor living space that is inviting and well prepared to host a get-together, no matter what the weather brings.
