Dear Clients & Friends,
As of Monday, June 14, 2021, our Downtown Toronto Showroom is open again for business after a long period of closure due to COVID -19 restrictions. It is not yet ”Business as Usual”, but instead, BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. This format allow us to serve ONLY ONE CLIENT AT A TIME, as well as, to implement enhanced sanitation procedures between visits.
The health and safety of our clients and team members is a priority for our Company. Therefore, we will be wearing a mask when assisting our clients and visitors and we require the same protective conduct from whoever visits our Showroom.
To schedule an appointment, please email us at info@trendsandtrades.ca or call us at 647-881-0311
In the meantime, we would like to inform that the factories of our European suppliers are also open and fully operational. Therefore, any order placed now, can be delivered within the usual time frame.
Thank you in advance for your patronage and please keep yourself safe and healthy!
All the Best!

Hi Luis,
Our clients came to us with a very specific direction for the flooring at their new modern home. They wanted a clean modern look but it needed to be warm and inviting.
The flooring, provided by Trends & Trades, achieved our design specifications and met with the homeowners approval.
The incredibly wide and long planks (10” wide by 7’ 3” long) give a sense of luxury to the space. Trends and Trades was also able to provide the stair treads that seamlessly blend the open riser staircase to the rest of the home.
The clear grade flooring has no knots which further enhances the luxury of the space.

Hi Luis,
Phil and I were away for a few days and we just dropped by the house to see the stair treads and nosings. We are speechless, they are simply spectacular. The stair treads are not installed of course, as we are waiting until the very last moment, but we can visualize how incredibly gorgeous they are going to look on the staircase. Wide Plank Hardwood craftsmen outdid themselves on those treads, I can hardly believe that those beautiful pieces of wood will be in our home for us to enjoy every day.
Everything from Wide Plank has met and exceeded our expectations. Please pass along our congratulations and sincere gratitude to the people who designed and crafted our floor boards, stair treads and nosings. We can’t wait to finish the reno, take up the paper on our hardwood floor and enjoy the beauty of our space. We will have you over as soon as we can so you can see how awesome our floor looks. We will take pictures and send them as well.
We plan on having a housewarming party in late June, and are inviting all of the contractors, suppliers and craftsmen that helped us build our dream home. I hope you will be able to join us. If for any reason staff from Wide Plank in Chilliwack are in the area, they are welcome to join us as well!
Hope you are feeling better, looking forward to seeing you. Thanks for all your professional help and support during this process. We are simply thrilled and awed by our beautiful floors and stair treads.
Sincerely,
Lianne and Phil

Luis,
We would like to thank you properly for the role you played in providing our fabulous wide-plank oiled walnut floors. They are magnificent! They look amazing, they are easy to maintain, they are SOLID with nary a squeak, and not a soul walks into our home without commenting on their rare beauty.
The final piece, of course, is knowing how to arrange and install all those incredible lengths of wood for maximum effect. It is certainly an art choosing which plank goes where to create a masterpiece of a floor. We were very pleased with your service and attention to detail. Thank you, Luis, for helping it all turn out even better than we had hoped.

Importance: High
Hi Luis,
The concept of this renovation was to create a clean modern interior had both character and visual interest.
The client loved European spaces where there is that contrast of an old shell with a modern interior, so we used this as our inspiration.
As the rest of the finishes were different variations of white, the floors became the most important finish to find. We looked everywhere in the city for the perfect herringbone floor that would fit into our narrow criteria.
Trends and Trades had the most options and flexibility in color, finish and scale. The floors created this beautiful matt patina, which really anchors the space and gives us the gorgeous effect we were looking for.
Thank you
Allison

Hi Luis,
We could not be more thrilled with the wood flooring we received from Trends and Trades, it is everything we had hoped for and more! The floor is a beautiful finish, I will definitely be recommending it to my clients. Luis, from Trends and Trades could not have been more helpful, from taking us to a site to see the wood already installed, to dropping by the house when ever we had a question, and following up with appropriate cleaning materials for the floor. All in all I would highly recommend both the flooring and service

RE: Corus Building pictures
The Corus Quay interiors project was a challenging and complex project involving more than 3,500 FF&E decisions. The teak hardwood selected for the Eighth Floor lounge was one of the easiest choices we made. It’s beautiful and gives the space such a rich and warm character. We are delighted with the quality and service we received from Trends and Trades. The perseverance that T&T demonstrated to get it right was a great help to Quadrangle’s Interior Design team. Thank you!”

When we were searching for the right flooring for our new offices, we knew we wanted a flooring with a distinctive look. The oiled hardwood we installed from Wide Plank Hardwood exceeded our expectations. We now have a beautiful hardwood that set the tone for our entire renovation. Luis Carvalho from Trends and Trades has overseen the entire process, from selecting to purchasing and to giving us helpful advice to ensure that the floors are maintained correctly.
He has been a pleasure to work with and provide us with ongoing advice to make sure that our floors remain in pristine condition.
Thank you.

Luis, the work that you have done at the Cambridge, has been terrific.
The wood, that I was quite nervous and really negative about originally, just looks fantastic. I wasn’t so wild about the waviness of the product, rather than a flat plank. But the wood looks like it has been there for years, which is exactly, what we wanted. That old school, Ralphy look
And the carpeting, in the four different designs, just looks fantastic. Including the recently laid Navy blue in the locker room.
Just wanted to SEND you this one final note of thanks and congratulations. It really looks fantastic, and the compliments that we are receiving from the members, is all the proof we need.
Again many thanks for your efforts Luis
