TECHNOLOGY
LG w e N QUADWASH LG Electronics Canada (LG), a leading innovator in home appliances, is rolling out new and updated models of its popular LG QuadWash® dishwashers with TrueSteam®. Packed with advanced cleaning technologies, the updated line of Wifi-enabled, smart dishwashers help eliminate water spots and drying by hand, and are certified by experts to sanitize dishes, glasses and more.1 Plus, LG TrueSteam® is the only technology in the industry to deliver two separate blasts of real steam from powerful steam jets for better cleaning and drying that eliminates water spots by up to 60%. 2 “With Canadians spending more time at home, discovering their inner chef or taking-on exciting and creative food challenges, piles of dirty dishes and pans are a reality,” said Ashley Audisho, Senior Marketing Manager, LG Home Appliance. “We put forward our innovative technologies to create a kitchen solution to handle the dirty work. Without the need to pre-wash, even your sauced up dishes and lipstickstained stemware come out spotless. And with the added feature to sanitize, you can have peace-of-mind, to enjoy more of life’s moments.”
A SPOTLESS CLEAN THE FIRST TIME With four powerful spray arms instead of the standard two, LG’s exclusive QuadWash technology uses Multi-Motion arms that rotate back and forth while spinning to power-clean dishes from multiple angles. TrueSteam includes four power steam nozzles centrally located on the door’s interior to allow steam to circulate throughout the dishwasher. And, with a second blast of real steam in the drying cycle, TrueSteam delivers up to 60% fewer water spots on dishware. 2 LG’s Dual Zone Wash, enables users to vary the spray intensity in the upper and lower racks for optimal cleaning performance. Gently clean delicate dishes on the upper rack, while power-washing heavy-duty pots and pans on the lower rack in the same wash cycle.
LITTLE CONVENIENCES YOU’LL USE EVERYDAY
The newly enhanced EasyRack™ Plus system provides flexibility and convenience for just about any load of dishes - like oddly shaped dishes, to help ensure optimal cleaning performance. Hold more items to save time and wash fewer loads with the height adjustable 3rd Rack – ideal for flatware, long-handled utensils, and hard-to-fit items.
8
QUIET OPER ATION LG’s LoDecibel™ Operation is as quiet as 44 decibels – among the quietest in its class. Freely run the dishwasher without worrying about noise disruption. LG’s innovative Inverter Direct Drive™ Motor and three-stage filtration system are designed for quiet performance, meaning it won’t interrupt post-dinner conversations, virtual learning or naptime.
RESIST SMUDGES TO ENHANCE SHINE LG’s 2021 line of energy-efficient dishwashers are offered in more styles and finishes – including Smudge Resistant Stainless Steel, Black Stainless Steel and Matte Black Stainless Steel. These finishes resist fingerprints and smudges to keep them looking their best without special cleaners. They can be cleaned easily with just a soft, dry cloth.
CERTIFIED TO SANITIZE 1 With sanitization a priority, LG dishwashers enable users to clean and sanitize with confidence. All 2021 models are certified by the National Sanitization Foundation (NSF) to reduce bacteria on dishes by 99.99% and reach a final rinse temperature greater than 85°C/185°F when operated on the steam cycle of TrueSteam models or the High Temp Cycle of other LG dishwashers. 3
ENERGY STAR ® CERTIFIED The LG QuadWash with TrueSteam is ENERGY STAR® certified from ENERGY STAR Canada, earning it international recognition as a high-efficiency product. Helping consumers save money while helping the planet, ENERGY STAR certified dishwashers use 25% less energy and 33% less water than traditional models. LG was named Canada’s Energy Star Appliance Manufacturer of the Year in 2020. 4
With new ways to control your home, and a future-ready open platform, ThinQ®, LG’s innovative line of connected home appliances includes the assortment of LG QuadWash Dishwashers with TrueSteam. Using the ThinQ app will help get things done more quickly than ever before -- receive notifications when a cycle is complete and operate the dishwasher with voice commands using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. LG QuadWash Dishwashers with TrueSteam are available at Canadian retailers nationwide. For more about the entire line, visit www.lg.com/ca_en/quadwash

THE CORNER LOT
By Partridge Fine Landscapes Photography by Cameron St Visual Storytelling
Bliss
This exquisite residential corner lot located in Woodbridge showcases a classic contemporary style enriching a true luxurious theme around the property with a balanced use of warm toned lighting.
To emphasize the front entrance and key featured areas of the backyard, one major request was to maintain the elegant highlights throughout the property by incorporating chandeliers showcasing a high-class visual and to accentuate the beautiful custom-built structures next to the vinyl cove pool and relaxing hot tub spa.
FRONT In 2018, Partridge Fine Landscapes began work on this corner lot property, which was in need of a more purposeful use of its grand exterior space. In order to achieve the client’s requests, thorough planning and designing resulted in a classic warm toned interlocking to tie in with the exterior colour scheme of the home, as well as a practical usage of travel circulation. By emphasizing the existing look of the home with a bare minimal front yard, Partridge took the initiative to expand the inviting grand entrance with outdoor seating, while ringing greenery and a comfortable amount of privacy away from neighbours.

PROJECT DETAILS PROJECT NAME: Evening Paradise BY: Partridge Fine Landscapes • partridgedesign.com DESIGNER: Darren Hoekstra, BLA POOL: Dream Pools • dreampools.ca
SIDE This property is not recognized as an ordinary formal build. In order to create a balance between classic and natural organic, Partridge incorporated both themes by providing individual side paths on each side of the house for a more coherent flow of a formal front and a free-formed backyard design. On the left side of the home, a steppingstone path was installed to exhibit a more whimsical, natural route surrounded by blooming hydrangeas in an organic layout. The street side features a much more formal style with continued interlocking from the front entrance, framed by privacy cedars and ornamental grasses, providing a hint of what can be expected beyond the gates. ▹

OUTDOOR
BACK YARD Partridge Fine Landscapes, along with Dream Pools, transformed this backyard into the homeowners very own paradise resort – an ideal setting during COVID lockdowns with an endless amount of entertainment.
14
The backyard design consists of a custombuilt wooden pavilion beautifully finished with a chandelier centerpiece, establishing a unified appearance with the chandeliers used along the house side porch. A grand kidney vinyl pool with a built-in waterfall feature helps to add to the paradise setting while a perfectly adjacent built-in hot tub spa is the perfect viewpoint to relax in. To finish off, the backyard features a custom cabana consisting of an indoor lounge area connected with an outdoor BBQ kitchen area ready for a fun day with family and eventually, friends. ◆
