34 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday May 11, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Spring HOME & GARDEN Make a STATEMENTS in doors and out STATEMENTS, located right here in Oakville, is the exclusive Ontario dealer of an exciting new concept in patio doors. Exterior patio doors that fold back accordion style.These elegant systems provide full, unobtrusive access to the indoors or outdoors, while also opening homes up to spectacular views and increased natural light. STATEMENTS is currently transforming a cottage in The Muskoka. They are providing new flooring, granite, finishes and mantles but the crowning touch will be the folding patio doors. "The doors fold back onto a large patio extending the living space of the cottage dramatically," noted Nancy DeSantis at Statements. "And they also open up the cottage to spectacular views. The owners are very excited about this addition to their cottage." The most interesting feature of the doors is the expansive space they can cover. Suitable for openings as small as six feet' x 6' 8" high to as large as 64 feet wide and 8 feet high. Indistinguishable from wood these beautifully crafted fibre-glass doors are available in a variety of finishes and stains. They're also available with an array of decorative glass. Custom capabilities for one-of-a-kind designs! They're not only beautiful - they're durable. Bevelled door edges and double weather-strip ensure the units are sealed against the elements. For security,the folding door systems feature drop bolts and optional multi-point or mortise locks. Standard hardware finishes, including brushed stainless steel and brushed bronze, maintain a beautiful finish. Recently STATEMENTS had a set of the folding doors on display at the National Home Show in Toronto. "The folding doors are unique and word got around that we had a pretty interesting display so they were a big draw," adds Lauren Gesualdi. "We were very pleased by the interest in our newest product."
