Our products are safe for pregnant women, nursing mothers, medical facilities and people that have asthma or allergies.

wood, engineered wood, laminate, tile, vinyl and carpet to choose from (special order). Your home is your investment and beautiful quality flooring is a very important investment in any home. Before buying your new floor, make sure you read the fine print on Warranties covered by the distributor. A lot of inexpensive flooring may say lifetime warranty but it is in your best interest to find out what is NOT covered. Cleaning your floors with Vinegar is a difinate NO-NO and can void your warranty. “Bona” our Swedish Formula floor cleaning products are safe for all floor surfaces. Bona will clean your floor without harming your top coat or substrate.
Custom Blinds:
Now that you have your paint and floors, you can’t forget to cover your windows. At Alberni Colour Corner we also carry a wide variety of custom blinds; Levolor, Habitat, Shade-o-matic (Atmosphere) and Graber.
