Here they share a Made in Canada Story:

 

Our passion at My Saskatoon is sharing about local businesses in the city. Palliser Rooms / EQ3 is an independant local business and they have just launched their new Bermex dining room gallery for customers to enjoy. The dining gallery features solid wood products made in Canada by Bermex. Bermex is a company based out of the province of Quebec, and is one of North America's largest dining set manufacturers. Bermex has made a strong commitment to the environment with its tree planting initiative - for every tree that is cut down, a new one is planted. Bermex furniture is made as efficiently as possible to eliminate wasted wood. Extra wood that is cut away during the manufacturing process is recycled and used for other purposes. Bermex also strives to deliver a high quality product so that the products will offer an optimum lifespan to the consumer, thus creating a heritage of protecting the environment for future generations.

In the Palliser Rooms Bermex gallery, you will find a variety of styles featuring the latest trends in dining furniture. Statement dining tables are strong in home décor for 2014. Create your look with a nod to the past using the new uniquely distressed century finish. If your style is strong and edgy, the "big top" table option with solid panel top is the perfect compliment to a contemporary interior. Customization is accessible and simple with a wide range of finish colours, apron styles, leg styles and a variety of seating options all offered in a step by step design process. Large wall displays show the choices of colours and customization options so a clear picture of the final product is created in the showroom.

A seasoned staff of sales consultants and design professionals at Palliser Rooms are available to help clients customize a dining set that will work perfectly in the desired space and setting. By bringing in measurements, paint swatches and floor samples, the sales team can help create a layout using computer software to help show clients optimum designs for their dining furniture.

With a dining set from the Palliser Rooms Bermex gallery, you can rest assured that you will be getting a quality "Made in Canada" product, and supporting a business that values the environment.

Made In The Shade BlindsTrusted Saskatoon Blind Expert tip on Window Coverings, Budget and Timelines

1. Apr 2014 Admin Saskatoon Window Coverings, Trusted Tips
Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon wants to help you get your windows on the Best Dressed list! They offer free in-home consultations, where they bring the showroom to you. Not only is this more convenient for you, it allows you to see a variety of choices for your home, surrounded by your colors and furnishings, in your home’s own natural light. Made In The Shade Saskatoon are your Trusted Saskatoon Blinds and Window Coverings Experts! 
 

 Heather shares a tip on Window Coverings – Budget and Timelines – What to expect:

Building or buying a home this year?


 
There are so many details and things to consider when you are moving into or building a new home. I can’t tell you how often I have been with a family in their new home, and they have a definite need for window coverings but have no idea as to what to expect as far as budget, timelines, or even which type of window covering product would suit them the best. We at Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon want to make it easy for you!
 

Looking at timelines – your consultation will take 30-75 minutes (give or take). At your consultation, we can decide on your window coverings and take accurate measurements of the windows in your home. Your quote will be back to you within 24-48 hours of your consultation. For most custom window coverings, plantation shutters being the exception, the shipping time from the manufacturer is between 2-3 weeks. Plantation shutters will take 4-10 weeks, depending on the size and scale of the project. Most other products (wood or faux wood blinds, cellular or honeycomb shades, roller and solar shades, Roman shades, sheers and draperies, etc.) can be delivered within 3 weeks of placing the order. Give yourself some extra time so that everything comes together smoothly. We will schedule an installation date once your product arrives at Made in the Shade. 


Budget! This is something we all want to know! Made in the Shade Blinds offers various choices from several manufacturers – Hunter Douglas, Graber, Horizons, Maxxmar, Shade-O-Matic and Norman Shutters – and there is a bit of variance in the price ranges. The size of your windows also factors your costs…the larger the window, the more pricey the window covering (of course). One of the most cost-effective window covering products would be faux-wood blinds. Fabrics and natural woven woods generally require more investment, as do plantation shutters. Pleated, roller and solar shades tend to fall more into the budget-conscious category, and cellulars (depending upon the brand) fall pretty much in the middle of the road. I think you would be surprised when you do comparison shopping! 


Call us at 306-280-0632 for a free in-home consultation and quote—we can work with any budget! We will work with you to get the window coverings you love for one window or a whole home or office building!

Made In The Shade Blinds your Trusted Saskatoon Blinds & Window Coverings Expert tip on working with businesses who care

24. Feb 2014 Admin Saskatoon Window Coverings, Trusted Tips
Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon wants to help you get your windows on the Best Dressed list! They offer free in-home consultations, where they bring the showroom to you. Not only is this more convenient for you, it allows you to see a variety of choices for your home, surrounded by your colors and furnishings, in your home’s own natural light. Made In The Shade Saskatoon are your Trusted Saskatoon Blinds and Window Coverings Experts! 
 
Here Heather shares her first tip on Work with businesses who care!
 
I recently had the opportunity to visit a family that was not happy at all with the company that they had hired to provide and install their blinds. Our initial phone call revealed that the customer received a colour that she did not want. I booked an appointment to go out and consult with the family the next afternoon.  
 

Upon arrival, I did notice that the blinds were not white (as the customer had requested) and was told that the other company had told her that the product she wanted was not available in white. What? 2” Composite blinds? Not available in white? I thought it to be very strange as I have numerous variations of white in my sample books…. And of course, we found one that matched her trim perfectly. I asked about a previous consultation and the quote for service, and she mentioned that she had not been given either from the company. Hmmmm…..

When measuring her windows, I went room by room and had the chance to see the installation that was done. I wondered why the blinds in the master bedroom (and only that set) were recessed into the window casing and butted up against the window, including the valance! The poor homeowner had been so distressed about the colour that she had not noticed how her product had been installed! I wrapped up our consultation and headed home to ask some questions of the manufacturer’s representative.

As her fight continued with her previous provider (who flat out refused to do ANYTHING and insisted upon payment), I found that she had not been sold a composite blind, she had been sold a far inferior vinyl product usually reserved for builders. It only comes in two versions of white…one being the exact colour my client had in her home. Flat out, she had been deceived by her previous provider.


 

My best advice in this situation?

  1. Make sure you get a consultation and physically view the product that you are planning to install in your home. If the person does not offer a consultation, DO NOT WORK WITH THEM. Seriously, if a business will not take the time to meet you, consult with you and find out more about your needs, they do not deserve your business.
  2. Get a quote and go through it carefully. In fact, get a few quotes! The rule of thumb is 3…so if you are not provided with a written quote, cross that person off of your shopping list.
  3. Ask questions. If there is ever something that seems very out of line, ask about it!
  4. Work with a company that offers a customer satisfaction guarantee. Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon offers a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee, meaning that we won’t stop working until you are satisfied.

Deal with people who care about your job, and their reputation! Work with Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon and expect to be impressed!
