28 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday April 13, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Spring HOME & GARDEN Creating a warm home of distinction and character with Elite Mouldings, Oakville In this day of high tech design, there are many of us reaching back into those `warm and cozy' times of classic tradition. Baby boomers, especially, are `nesting' in what is possibly their last home. Having `been there ­ dun it', the edgy trends are not as alluring today as yesterday. Creating a home environment of distinction and character combined with a `touch of class' is the pathway to the future. Enter Elite Mouldings. This Oakville based business is `the' expert on wainscoting manufacturing and installation. The only company offering this product has contractors banging on their door. How fortunate for us that owner, Darrin Landau, is an Oakville resident who masterminded this brilliant concept a mere 5 years ago. "I recognized there was a need," explains Darrin. "Crown moulding and wainscoting have become increasingly popular and Oakville is the perfect market due to their good taste and appreciation for the finer things in life." Devoted to quality product and workmanship, Darrin loves the business of home building and renovation. Having demolished his original Oakville residence, Darrin rebuilt to accommodate his family in the city he loves. "It gives me pleasure to serve the community I am involved in. Oakville customers appreciate good service...and that is key to my company." Wainscoting and crown moulding have the ability to transform an otherwise cold space into one of charm and grace. Whether your taste reflects the opulence of Victorian times...or the character reminiscent of a Cape Cod home, Elite Mouldings stands alone in its ability to provide superior product and expert installation. Darrin says, "It is rare that one company can provide both merchandise and service of excellence...usually, one suffers, being suspect product or installation." Wainscoting is timeless in the world of architectural design. Residentially in demand, Darrin's company created an affordable wainscoting alternative to actual hardwood, though available upon request. The wainscoting is made from Medium Density Fiberboard, or MDF, which is engineered wood. It is compressed at high temperatures in several stages in order to produce a finished product. A smooth surface with a uniform texture, it does not reveal any grains, knots, or other disturbances to its uniformity and accepts paint well.
