Spring has arrived; now is the perfect time to plan your renovation
Mapleton Flooring is a one-stop shop for all flooring and tile needs. With a bright showroom, they offer a wide selection of hardwood, ceramic tile, laminate, carpets and vinyl flooring options to suit every budget. Whether you’re looking to replace a shower, add a kitchen backsplash or explore the new flooring products, they can offer many options and advice.
When asked about the newest trends in the flooring industry, owner Jim Richardson explained a trend that he first saw at the World Flooring Expo in Las Vegas was luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and plank. Richardson explained the LVT product is a cross between a tile and sheet vinyl. The product is 100% waterproof, extremely easy to install and the planks closely imitate hardwood and the tile product duplicates ceramic tile, he said. The best part is that in the event that a piece should become damaged, it is easily replaced in a very short time and does not require any special tools.
“I invested heavily into this new product category. We carry six different manufacturers of this category, and are quickly becoming a destination showroom for a large variety of style of LVT. One of our biggest customers in this division of flooring are the cottagers at Conestogo Lake who are looking for a product that is low maintenance, durable and can handle moisture,” Richardson explained.
Mapleton Flooring is proud to announce they have recently become an authorized Schluter retailer. This designation is offered to a few selected retailers who have completed very specific product training and adhere to specific installation guidelines. Schluter is a product system which, when installed by highly trained professionals, guarantees that a shower/bathroom is 100% watertight and has no materials that can grow mould or breakdown over time. This system not only offers the homeowner piece of mind but also ensure a healthy living environment within their home.
The most exciting addition this past year was the hiring of a certified interior decorator. Dawn Fraser joined the team last year and has been able to offer customers design suggestions and consultations on the spot. She will assist any customer with not only their flooring selections, but also help to tie in paint colours, window coverings, furniture and layouts, etc.
“I have found this to be an incredible added bonus and benefit to our customers,” Richardson said. “Some customers walk in and know exactly what they want, others appreciate her assistance and find her to be a blessing to the stressful decision making process. Dawn is always well equipped with current trends and fashions but also caring about the clients personal choices.”
The showroom is located at 83 Wellington Street South in Drayton. Showroom hours are Tuesday to Thursday 9am to 5pm, Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to noon. After-hours appointments are available upon request.
