Laminate is a durable floor that offers photorealistic images and grain patterns to provide the look of hardwood floors and other premium materials such as slate and stone at a much more affordable cost. They resist dents better than hardwood flooring and are well suited to any area of the home except for wet areas such as full bathrooms. Laminate is made from four layers: a clear top layer infused with aluminum oxide to resist scratching and wear; a design layer, which features a photographic image of real wood flooring; a core, which gives the laminate its strength and structure; and a backing layer that provides additional support and stability. Laminate floors differ in three basic ways: thickness, warranties, and wear ratings.

A concept design prepared in response to an open competition organised by Maggies, designed to be full of light, with views to every room, to the sky and the landscape beyond. The design is arranged around a social space in the centre, with seating around a fireplace and a dining table, off which the rooms radiate. Thick walls help provide a sense of safety and stability, and contain all of the utilitarian and storage spaces in the building, including cloaks cupboard, WC, storage, folding partitions, pantry, garden kitchen and chair store. A timber vaulted roof brings warmth and height to the spaces, and each room is illuminated by rooflights and provided with a view and access to gardens, including an entrance garden, sensory garden and kitchen garden.

This space was designed to provide additional creature comforts for the owners while they await the design & construction of their dream home. The space was formerly used as a woodshed / toolshed and was accompanied by the typical oil stains, grime, and cobwebs. The design incorporates a lightly stained ACX plywood finish over framing which helped provide additional lateral stability, and framing for new door and window installation. A deck was added to the west side for connection to sunsets and the tranquil sounds of rushing water from a nearby river. What do you think? Would you live here?

This elevated view showcases the creek winding through native plants strategically placed to stabilize the banks. The existing bridge remains in place, providing one of the vantage points from which the clients can enjoy peaceful views of the creek along with the deck above.

The grab bar gives added stability and can provide hanging space for towels or wash cloths. The built-in quartz seat was a requested feature for this compact shower.

ShadeFX complemented the sophisticated pergola design by adding a beige waterproof retractable shade. The combination of painted hardware, reduced canopy drop and hidden cable stabilizers, make it appear as though the pergola and shade are a single cohesive unit.

The superior workability of AZEK Deck allows for creativity that makes constructing built-in benches easy. And, with these long lasting products, these deck amenities are guaranteed to provide years of long lasting beauty.

At Archadeck of Nova Scotia we love any size project big or small. But, that being said, we have a soft spot for the projects that let us show off our talents! This Halifax house was no exception. The owners wanted a space to suit their outdoor lifestyle with materials to last far into the future. The choices were quite simple: stone veneer, Timbertech composite decking and glass railing. What better way to create that stability than with a solid foundation, concrete columns and decorative stone veneer? The posts were all wrapped with stone and match the retaining wall which was installed to help with soil retention and give the backyard more definition (it’s not too hard on the eyes either). A set of well-lit steps will guide you up the multi-level deck. The built-in planters soften the hardness of the Timbertech composite deck and provide a little visual relief. The two-tone aesthetic of the deck and railing are a stunning feature which plays up contrasting tones. From there it’s a game of musical chairs; we recommend the big round one on a September evening with a glass of wine and cozy blanket. We haven’t gotten there quite yet, but this property has an amazing view (you will see soon enough!). As to not spoil the view, we installed TImbertech composite railing with glass panels. This allows you to take in the surrounding sights while relaxing and not have those pesky balusters in the way. In any Canadian backyard, there is always the dilemma of dealing with mosquitoes and black flies! Our solution to this itchy problem is to incorporate a screen room as part of your design. This screen room in particular has space for dining and lounging around a fireplace, perfect for the colder evenings! Ahhh…there’s the view! From the top level of the deck you can really get an appreciation for Nova Scotia. Life looks pretty good from the top of a multi-level deck. Once again, we installed a composite and glass railing on the new composite deck to capture the scenery. What puts the cherry on top of this project is the balcony! One of the greatest benefits of composite decking and railing is that it can be curved to create beautiful soft edges. Imagine sipping your morning coffee and watching the sunrise over the water. If you want to know more about composite decking, railing or anything else you’ve seen that sparks your interest; give us a call! We’d love to hear from you.

A round table base is an essential component in creating a sturdy and visually appealing dining or conference table. The base provides stability and support, allowing the table to withstand the weight and usage it is designed for. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, round table bases are available in various materials such as wood, metal, or a combination of both. These bases come in diverse styles, ranging from classic and traditional designs to modern and contemporary aesthetics.

Existing boulders along the creek provide natural structure and help stabilize the bank. Newly planted native species have been added among the rocks, selected for their ability to thrive in riparian conditions and support ecological health. As these plants establish and grow, they will soften the rocky edges, attract pollinators, and add texture and seasonal interest to the restored landscape.
