TILES

WHAT TO CONSIDER / STAIR SELECTION
THE STAIRCASE, OFTEN CENTRAL TO THE HOME’S DESIGN, SERVES AS BOTH A FUNCTIONAL MEANS OF VERTICAL TRANSPORT AND A STRIKING ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE.
All of Paradise Developments homes include staircases which are finished in Oak as a standard feature. Stained and finished on-site, the staircase helps to set the tone in your home.
Paradise Developments installs solid oak treads, pickets and handrails, with oak veneer stringers and risers in all homes.
• Staircases are frequently high-traffic areas and can show signs of wear over time. In a busy household, an all-wood staircase is not only easier to maintain but also retains its aesthetic appeal for a longer period.
• Oak, being a harder wood species, helps preserve the original appearance of your stairs for an extended period.
NOTES (REGARDING STAIR FINISHES):
PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS CANNOT GUARANTEE AN EXACT COLOUR MATCH OF STAIRS TO FLOORING, AS A RESULT OF BOTH MANMADE AND NATURAL PRODUCTS BEING USED FOR HARDWOOD FLOORING, STAIR TREADS, PICKETS, RAILINGS & NOSING. FINISHING STAINS ARE CHOSEN CAREFULLY BY OUR SUPPLIERS TO MATCH AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE TO ANY NATURAL WOOD FLOORING FINISH, BUT OUR SUPPLIERS DO NOT GUARANTEE AN EXACT MATCH, DUE TO THE VARIATIONS IN ANY NATURAL WOOD PRODUCTS.

THE DETAILS ARE NOT THE DETAILS. THEY MAKE THE DESIGN. CHARLES EAMES
WHAT TO CONSIDER / CABINET SELECTION
PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS IS PROUD TO OFFER A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CABINET OPTIONS ACROSS ALL UPGRADE LEVELS. THESE VARIOUS CABINET OPTIONS WILL ALLOW YOU TO FINISH YOUR KITCHEN OR BATHROOMS IN EITHER CONTEMPORARY OR TRADITIONAL DESIGNS.
Dependent on the finish and style selected, Paradise Developments’ cabinets come in the materials listed below;
• Oak
• Maple
• Melamine
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Thermofoil
• MDF
Our Design Consultants can guide you on the benefits of each Species*, and which cabinet would be suitable to your home and lifestyle requirements.
Similar to most natural wood products, each species of wood has its own unique characteristics and grain pattern.
Maple is a closed-grained wood and will take a stain in a more uniform pattern than oak. Oak is characterized as an open-grain wood, with alternating areas of relatively porous and dense wood, along with harder areas. Oak will absorb stain readily in an open-grained area, but the stain is absorbed less in the harder and more dense areas, and although the finish may not be consistent, its variations are the beauty of a natural wood product.
The Paradise Design Consultants are well educated in all cabinet finishes and can help to direct you in making a suitable cabinet selection for your lifestyle requirements.
NOTES (REGARDING GRAIN VARIATIONS):
THE PURCHASER COULD BE ASKED TO SIGN A WAIVER ACKNOWLEDGING COLOUR OR GRAIN VARIATIONS IN NATURAL PRODUCTS OR APPLIED FINISHES ON NATURAL PRODUCTS LIKE CABINETS, AS PARADISE HOMES CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

WHAT TO CONSIDER / COUNTERTOP SELECTION
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PURCHASING AN UPGRADED COUNTERTOP WITH PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS?
• All measurements and installations are conveniently completed prior to the completion of your home.
• Any faucet and sink fixtures that are required to be installed within the countertop are completed prior to taking occupancy of the home.
• Aspects of the countertop and the countertop installation are covered by Tarion – New Home Warranty.
WHAT ARE SOME ISSUES THAT MAY COME FROM INSTALLING UPGRADED COUNTERTOPS AFTER YOU OBTAIN POSSESSION OF THE HOME?
• Several visits will be required by both a countertop manufacturer and a plumber to have a new upgraded countertop installed.
• A countertop installed after you obtain possession will not be covered by the warranties put in place by Tarion – New Home Warranty.
• It is not uncommon to experience accidental damages to items around the newly installed upgraded countertop, these accidental damages will not be covered by the warranties put in place by Tarion – New Home Warranty.
NOTES (REGARDING NATURAL STONE COUNTERTOPS):
PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COLOUR OR NATURAL GRAIN VARIATIONS IN PRODUCTS SUCH AS GRANITE AND QUARTZ. PURCHASERS WILL BE ASKED TO SIGN A “WAIVER” FOR ALL NATURAL STONE COUNTERTOPS, AS THEY COME DIRECT FROM THE SUPPLIER AND PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY QUARRIED STONE PRODUCT.
NOTE: (REGARDING PURCHASE AFTER CLOSING):
WHEN PURCHASING YOUR COUNTERTOP AFTER CLOSING, THE HOMEOWNER MUST BE HOME FOR ALL APPOINTMENTS WITH THE CONTRACTORS AND WILL BE INCONVENIENCED CONSIDERABLY.
PARADISE DESIGN
COUNTERTOP OPTIONS
GRANITE
• Granite is a natural product that offers characteristics of veining and coursing of colours not possible with a man-made product. Each piece is unique and the actual slabs will vary from samples on display.
• All offered granites are available with a selection of edge profiles.
• Undermount sinks can be used.
• Although hot plates are suggested, granite is a durable surface and will not burn when hot pots or pans are set on it.
• All granite is installed with a manufacturer sealant but it is suggested the resealing is applied every 6 months.
• Unlike marble, granite is reasonably hard and naturally porous to a certain degree.
• Although granite is relatively unaffected by most food, caution should be taken not to leave food on the counter, or use harsh chemicals, as this could deteriorate the sealant, and damage the granite.
• Using a cutting board is always recommended
QUARTZ
• Is extremely hard, with unusual strength, depth, clarity and radiance.
• Unusual clarity and consistency in colour, catches and reflects light, capturing the radiance of quartz crystal.
• Characterized by superior strength and durability making it extremely resistant to scratches, chips, cracking or dulling, similar to granite.
• Quartz is dense, nonporous and stain-resistant, easy to maintain with no sealing required.
• Surfaces can be machined with discreet visible seams.
• A versatile colour palette further enhances design flexibility.
• All offered quartz are available with a selection of edge profiles.

TILE FLOORING
CERAMIC & PORCELAIN TILES
All tiles offered by Paradise Developments are either ceramic or porcelain and come in various styles, sizes, patterns and colour schemes.
CERAMIC TILE VS. PORCELAIN TILE
CERAMIC TILE

EASY TO CUT AND INSTALL.
ABSORPTION RATE IS HIGHER THAN PORCELAIN AND CAN STAIN.

AREAS OF HIGH MOISTURE LEVELS.

EASIER TO CUT AND INSTALL.
NOTES (REGARDING LAYING TILE PATTERNS:):
CAN BE THICKER AND DIFFICULT TO CUT AND INSTALL.
INSTALLING TILES ON AN ANGLE* OR BRICK* PATTERN CAN MAKE A ROOM APPEAR LARGER. (*EXTRA COSTS ARE INVOLVED AS MORE TILES ARE USED AND ADDITIONAL LABOUR IS REQUIRED)
PARADISE DESIGN
CARPET FLOORING
CARPETING
Underpadding is a critical flooring component. It is the foundation for your carpet, and the right padding will enhance both comfort and durability by:
• Absorbing the constant pressure of foot traffic.
• Keeping the carpet from compressing and looking worn.
• Adding insulation by helping to retain warm air in the cold weather and stay cooler in the heat.
• Reducing noise by helping to absorb.
Carpet comes in a variety of fibers, each having their own characteristics and benefits, depending on the location and the look you want to achieve.
NYLON CARPET
Excellent abrasion resistance absorbs little water, keeping stains on the surface for easier cleaning.
BERBER* CARPET
Highly durable loop, stain resistant and 100% polyester.
All of Paradise Developments carpet options are made with a portion of recycled materials and are child and pet friendly to resist stains and make cleaning carpets an easy task.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON BERBER
IF INSTALLING CARPET AFTER CLOSING FROM A CONTRACTOR OR BUILDING STORE, DON’T FORGET TO ADD AT LEAST 10% TO YOUR TOTALS TO ACCOUNT FOR CLOSETS, ROOM IRREGULARITIES AND WASTAGE. IN GENERAL, IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO BUY EXTRA

HARDWOOD FLOORING
HARDWOOD
Paradise Developments offers both solid hardwood flooring as well as engineered hardwood flooring options. Available in various sizes, wood species, stains and finishes, we assure you that you will find a flooring option that suits your lifestyle and design preferences.
Our highly skilled Design Consultants can speak to some of the benefits of installing hardwood flooring.
1. Enhance the look of your home.
2. Versatile.
3. Low maintenance
4. Strong and Durable.
Paradise Developments will handle the installation of your hardwood, as we’ve carefully addressed all potential concerns that may arise when having hardwood installed after closing.
• Paradise Developments accounts for all waste factors in our pricing.
• Paradise Developments’ installation fee, which covers our highly trained and qualified installers, is included in the per-room price for your model.
• Your hardwood floor is subject to warranties as outlined by Tarion New Home Warranty.
• Every available hardwood upgrade has various stain colours that do not increase the purchase price.
• We won’t forget about the special transition mouldings, and they are included in our pricing. (i.e., thresholds, painted finishing trim (installed and painted), t-mouldings, reducer strips, stair nosing, door stops, etc.) have been calculated into the per-room price for your model.
• If you upgrade to a stained hardwood flooring with Paradise Developments, there are also options to match your staircase stain.

COMPARE INSTALLATIONS
BUYING FROM PARADISE (AT YOUR DESIGN APPOINTMENT)
• Paradise has calculated wastage into our prices.
• Paradise’s installation fee for our highly trained and qualified installers is included in the per room price for your model.
BUYING FROM A CONTRACTOR (INSTALLING AFTER CLOSING)
• Remember to calculate an additional 5-10% for wastage.
• The installation fee is in addition to the per sq. ft. price.
• Installing hardwood flooring once your family has moved in causing inconvenience and will send unhealthy particles back into the duct system, and back into the air you breathe.
• Your floor is warranted with Paradise Developments for a full year after your closing date.
• Every colour option per line is the same price.
• Special transition mouldings (I.E., Thresholds, painted finishing trim (installed and painted), t-mouldings, reducer strips, stair nosing, door stops, etc.) Have been calculated into the per room price for your model.
• If you upgrade to a stained hardwood flooring with paradise, upgrade your staircase to match closest to the flooring colour as an option.
An exact colour match is not guaranteed as the characteristics of any natural wood product will differ with each species.
• There is most likely no warranty on the installation of the floor you buy.
• All other warranties are dependent upon the manufacturer and/or supplier.
• Most stained colours are usually special order, and are more expensive than most advertised prices.
• Don’t forget to factor into your calculations: special transition mouldings (i.e., thresholds, finishing trim (installed and painted), t-mouldings, reducer strips, stair nosing, door stops, etc.) These are expensive, necessary pieces you’ll need to finish the job professionally.
• If you choose a stained hardwood, it is very difficult to stain your stairs to match after the fact.
• Your stairs are finished with urethane and will need to be stripped before being stained.
COMPARE FLOORING
LAMINATE
Laminate flooring is a man-made product which combines “natural-looking” designs with a tough, durable finish, and can be used in almost any area of the home.
Laminate will also offer realistic designs and can replicate the characteristics of the popular hand scraped hardwood floors. Most laminate floors are not glued and are “floating”, which means the floor will rest on top of the subfloor, with tongue-and-grove design to lock the planks together. A floating design allows for expansion and contraction of the product with the moisture content in the air of the home as the seasons change. No glue, staples or nails required.

APPLIANCE UPGRADING
If you intend to upgrade your appliances to your new home, it is essential to provide your design consultant with detailed information about these appliances at the time of your design appointment. This will enable your consultant to consider any specific requirements or specifications and ensure they are accurately integrated into your design plan. By providing this information, we can ensure a seamless and efficient process, avoiding any potential delays.
REFRIGERATOR
STANDARD REFRIGERATOR
The standard refrigerator space provided by Paradise Developments is approximately 36” wide by 72“ high. If you intend to purchase a future built-in refrigerator, you accommodate the appliance specs to enable us to make the appropriate provisions.
BUILT-IN REFRIGERATOR
There are various types of refrigerators available and depending on your selection, it may be necessary to adjust your design plan to accommodate the appliance. Refrigerator styles and dimensions can affect the configuration of your kitchen cabinets. To ensure the refrigerator fits properly in the designated space in your new home, please provide your design consultant with the approximate dimensions of your refrigerator.
NOTE FOR REFRIGERATOR:
SPECIFYING YOUR APPLIANCE SIZE CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE CONFIGURATION OF YOUR KITCHEN CABINETS AND CERTAIN ACCOMMODATIONS MAY BE RESTRICTED BY BUILDING CODES AND DESIGN CONSTRAINTS. PLEASE NOTE THAT PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS PROVIDES STANDARD REFRIGERATOR OPENINGS WITH A MAXIMUM WIDTH OF 36 INCHES AND A HEIGHT OF 72 INCHES.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND LATER, AND WANT TO MAKE CHANGES?
All colour selections, extras and plan changes are final once a purchaser has completed and signed for their colour selections. Any questions pertaining to colours, extras and plan changes after that time must be directed to the Design Studio, and if considered by the Builder, an administration fee charge of $500.00 can be charged at the discretion of the Builder.
WILL THE CONSTRUCTION OF MY HOUSE BE FINISHED BY MY CLOSING DATE?
Paradise Developments strives to close all of our homes on time. However, there are some challenges that all builders face that are sometimes unavoidable. For example: weather greatly impacts our business, product and trade availability, and sometimes a delay with obtaining permits from the Municipality can push the schedule back, but you will be provided a minimum of 90 days written notice should a delay be anticipated.
WHY DO I HAVE TO COME IN TO COMPLETE MY COLOURS SO SOON?
Upgrades and colour selections should be completed at least 10 months before your scheduled closing date. Timing is a major factor in the construction process and this time ensures that your selections can be provided by our suppliers in a timely manner.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE COLOUR SELECTION APPOINTMENT?
Your initial appointment will consist of a full 3 hour appointment with your Design Consultant. During your first appointment you will cover all of the electrical upgrades, minor structural changes and begin the colour selection process. If you require any additional appointments, you can discuss this with your Design Consultant.
DO I HAVE TO ATTEND A DESIGN SEMINAR?
No, for your convenience we have provided all our informative seminars online. You can tune into these seminars on your own time to help educate yourself of the standards and upgrades that Paradise Design currently offers.
WHEN DO I PAY FOR MY OPTIONAL CHOICES?
All optional choices are paid for at the end of your design appointment by an Amendment to your agreement of purchase and sale. If a deposit is required, up to $5,000 can be paid by Debit/credit card or cheque. Any deposit amount that exceeds $5,000, must be paid by cheque.
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF MY WINDOWS AND OTHER ITEMS IN THE HOUSE?
As window sizes can vary and exact measurements are needed for window coverings, we will provide you an opportunity to measure your windows at the time of your Frame-Walk or Pre-Delivery Orientation.
WHY CAN’T WE DO OUR OWN WIRING OR FLOORING?
Purchasers are prohibited from installing any items in the home before closing date under the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, as you have contracted with your Builder, Paradise Developments to complete your home as specified in your contract. Installing such things as wiring could be a fire hazard, and will not be approved by the Municipal Inspector. In addition, you will void the warranty on the home.
WILL I BE ABLE TO GET A DOOR FROM THE GARAGE INTO THE HOUSE?
This feature is standard in all of our models, however its installation availability is dependent on the grade of your lot. If the actual grade of your lot prohibits installation of a door to the garage, Paradise Developments will install a “door header” within the wall between the house and the garage, which will allow the purchaser to make the installation at any time in the future after taking possession.
PARADISE DESIGN
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW HOME. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO I NEED TO CHOOSE MY APPLIANCES BEFORE MY COLOUR APPOINTMENT?
YES, it is recommended that you know the type and size of appliances before your Design Appointment to ensure that your kitchen design will accommodate your choices, or your Design Consultant can recommend plan change options to consider in the construction of the house to accommodate your requirements.
WHERE CAN I SEE WHAT IS “STANDARD” IN MY HOME?
Paradise Developments endeavors to have all standard features for our homes on display in the Design Studio in Toronto, and they are listed in the marketing brochure that you received at the time of your purchase.
CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO THE FLOOR PLAN?
Although we are not a custom builder, Paradise Developments will consider requests for some plan changes. Please speak with your Design Consultant about any plan changes you wish to make.
(Please note that all plan changes are required to be submitted for approval prior to the final Design appointment. Plan change requests will not be considered at the final Design appointment.)
PURCHASERS GUIDE
APPENDIX ‘A’
PRODUCT DISCLAIMER & WAIVERS
Paradise Developments cannot be held responsible for colour or grain variations in natural products such as granite, quartz or applied finishes on natural products like hardwood flooring, cabinets, stairs, railings, spindles and trim, and the purchaser could be asked to sign a waiver. Paradise Developments cannot be held responsible for colour variations in manufactured materials such as plastic toilet seats, china toilets, tubs and melamine or painted surfaces.
LAMINATE
FLOORING
• As laminate flooring is a “man-made” product, purchasers should recognize that the flooring colour will not match the hand-applied finish stain colour of the oak stairs, nosing/pickets/railings, stair risers and stringers when stained.
CABINET DOORS: *OAK AND MAPLE
• Due to characteristics of “natural” wood products, colour or grain variations can occur in the finished stained product.
• Oak is known as an open-grain wood. It could have alternating areas of relatively porous and dense wood, along with harder areas. When stained, oak can absorb stain as open-grain areas absorb the color readily, with the harder and more dense areas less, which accentuates the grain and creates a dramatic effect.” form of acknowledgment.
BERBER CARPET
• Berber carpet is a “loop-type” carpet, and as such, seams may be visible, and if purchased, the purchaser will be asked to sign a “waiver” form of acknowledgment.
GRANITE
• As granite is a natural stone product, it is porous, and comes in varied shades and patterns in the same slab. The stone can have fissures (a form of crack, which can be filled with clear resin) and extrusions (small visual crack, which is not a defect of the stone). Granite requires sealant, and countertop joints will be visible, and are part of the fabrication process. Purchasers will be asked to sign a “waiver” form of acknowledgment.

CLIENT CARE
IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
Paradise Developments® builds every new home to meet or exceed the structural requirements and health and safety standards of the Ontario Building Code. Like every new home in Ontario, it is protected by the builder’s warranty, and backed by the Tarion Warranty Corporation together with Paradise’s own dedicated Client Care team.
WHAT IS TARION?
Tarion is a private corporation which was established in 1976 to protect the rights of new home buyers and regulate new home builders.

THE PDO PROCESS
PDO stands for Pre-Delivery Orientation - one of the most important steps before you move into your new Paradise Developments home.
Approximately one week to ten days prior to the date of possession, one of Paradise’s Client Care representatives will personally guide you through our orientation of your new home. At this time they will review all of the operating systems in the home (heat, electrical, plumbing and ventilation) so you are familiar with them.
Any minor deficiencies that are found during this visit will be recorded on the pre-delivery inspection form in order to document the conditions that existed prior to moving into the home, and to ensure they are rectified to your complete satisfaction.
