Lanctot for Any Kind of Flooring – How About Warming your Feet on Heated Floors?

Tuesday, October 31st, 2017

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.

The huge Lanctot warehouse offers hundreds of options for floating and hardwood floors (look for the mark-down bins too), including condo solutions and ceramic tiles  You can select from amongst 500 area rugs, carpeting and vinyl flooring ( remnants too). There are options to decorate walls, and even staircases can be created here.

In floating floors, you have many tree options such as: oak, maple, ash, beech and cherry, as well as ones that look like natural stone or ceramic.

For hardwood options, there’s cherry, white oak, red oak, hard maple, silver maple, ash, wild cherry, beech, larch and walnut. Where else could you find so many exotic species too: jatoba  ipe, bamboo, tauari, cumaru, cabreuva and tiger wood.

An entire wing is dedicated to ceramics in many types and sizes for bathrooms, kitchens and hallways. Along with the ceramic and natural stone tiles, you can also buy granite, marble, slate, porcelain and even faux wood.

You can also shops for many types of wall coverings like decorative stone, natural stone, decorative brick, wood siding and decorative panels.

Lanctôt also offers two types of staircases: modular and traditional. Staircases generally form the heart of a home as they can usually be seen from the entrance, and often take center stage.

They offer services for insurers and claim adjusters. Both individuals and businesses happily buy here. It is so nice to shop at a store which has the comfortable feel and friendliness of a family business.

Thursday, January 19th, 2017

If you’re wishing or planning a reno project which involves flooring, you can’t go wrong at Lanctot. (It’s also a great time of year to do the project as reno companies are very quiet now). 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?

The huge warehouse offers hundreds of options for floating and hardwood floors (look for the bargain bins starting at $.89), including condo solutions and ceramic tiles (starting at $1.25). You can select from amongst 500 area rugs, carpeting and vinyl flooring (lots of remnants too). There are options to decorate walls, and even staircases can be created here. It is so nice to shop at a store which has the comfortable feel and friendliness of a family business.

Bests Gifts: Smart Shopping Montreal or Drive I-95: Exit by Exit Info, Maps, History and Trivia

Sunday, December 18th, 2016

Everyone has to shop and I’ve tried to make it easier for all of you by compiling Montreal’s best stores into a guidebook. In English it’s Smart Shopping Montreal ($21.95)and in French Le Consommateur Averti Montreal ($20.95). If anyone is driving South to warm up, I’ve also written a guide about what to find at every exit on the way to Florida called Drive I-95: Exit by Exit Info, Maps, History and Trivia ($24.95). You can have them autographed too!

Here’s a synopsis of the Smart Shopping Montreal book:

There’s no reason to waste time shopping for price when the job has already been done by this bestselling book. Thousands of loyal readers for the past 28 years have learned to buy it to find all the discount stores where they can save money. Reading it will save you time too.

All it takes to be a smart shopper is knowing how to save time and money while shopping. If you know where to go for the bargains, who to call when something breaks, or where to buy that something special, you’ve accomplished that goal. This book covers all three topics:

Part I of this book covers over 800 locations around the city (and then another 200 in factory buildings) where the smart shopper can save at least 20% on clothing, household, food and leisure products. Why not make your dollar go as far as possible?

Part II helps the smart shopper resist the throw-away nature of our society by leading you to the wonderful repairmen and master craftsmen who can fix those treasures or broken household items (and save you money by not having to buy a new one!).

Lastly, Part III explores the wonderful variety of unique or unusual specialty stores (which can sometimes get a bit pricey) that one can browse through and shop in. The smart shopper knows where they are. Develop a spirit of adventure and an inquiring mind, and seek out these terrific spots in Montreal – a city which is a wonderful blend of European couture and craftsmanship with American know-how.

The first bargain you’ll find is this book.

Synopsis of Drive I-95:

Road trips are back and to help those who travel up and down the East coast, Drive I-95 is a new style of guidebook which combines colorful easy-to-follow pictorial maps and fun stories.

Look ahead exit by exit to see which motels (with 800 numbers), gas stations, restaurants, campgrounds, 24-hour pharmacies, radio stations or radar traps are there.

We share stories: history on I-95, museums, trivia, towns to explore or places to run the kids or your pets. These can be read for entertainment during the drive, and may entice motorists to stop, stretch their legs and discover someplace new.

You can order the guides online (autographed):
