If you’re planning a reno project which involves flooring, I would head right to Lanctot. For over 130 years, the Lanctot family has been selling flooring, and has always been known for choice and service – and their prices are low all year round. Can you just imagine how many satisfied customers that adds up to?

They have a wonderful option for our cold floors in our cold winters – heated flooring.  They sell the  Ditra-Heat system from Germany which prevents cracking of ceramics and stone. DITRA-HEAT combines the flexibility of loose heating cables with the ease of installation of mat systems. Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired, without creating height differences in the floor. Self-leveling compounds are not required reducing installation time and effort.

– carpets
– area rugs (in your home or take them off premises)
– leather sofa and chairs
– dining room chairs covered in fine fabrics, such as cotton and silks
– pet odors and stains
– mattresses
– car interiors (complete cleaning, getting rid of salt, sand, smoke odors, etc)
– water/flood damage (don’t hesitate to call in the middle of the night); can arrange contractors to renovate and restore your home
– commercial and office cleaning – with employees sitting on chairs for years, they really need freshening up
– cooking odors in your home
– fabric protection

You may not realize that when you buy a mattress, within 10 years, it may weigh 30% more, due to sweat and skin cells accumulated. They have a service which kills dust mites and removes sweat stains and urine accidents. The mattress can also be disinfected and deodorized.

Area rugs can be re-fringed, repaired and they can take care of moth damage.
