Keep your winter accident free—park the car in the garage

Keep your winter accident free—park the car in the garage
With an organized garage, there’s room for everything, even the car

March 14, 2011, TORONTO – Winter mornings are frustrating when you leave for work, and discover the vehicle covered in snow with no time to clean it—parking the car in the garage would have prevented this.

Whenever severe snow conditions exist, a decision is required that directly impacts safety. In order to get to work or school on time, does one leave with a snow covered vehicle, or take the time to scrape it off and risk being late.

“Decisions such as these wouldn’t be necessary had the car been parked in the garage,” says Aaron Cash, founder of Garage Living. “Unfortunately, many garages with their endless supply of clutter have become the home’s abyss—a dark hole that has sucked in just about every piece of junk or unwanted item; except the car.”

While there are legal requirements that surround a driver’s visibility, still hundreds of people drive off in the morning without having cleaned off their windows—this puts them and others at risk. The other solution, while the better choice, has its own temptation—taking the time to scrape off the ice and snow puts one behind schedule, and as a result, there is a temptation to rush and drive faster than the conditions allow.

“Over the past several years, I’ve observed firsthand how an attractive, uncluttered, organized garage provides a homeowner with benefits that enhance their lifestyle, and accident prevention is just one more benefit to add to the list,” says Aaron Cash. “Simply by installing wall organization systems that efficiently use the wall space, all clutter can be removed from the garage floor, organized and then neatly stored, while leaving room to park the family car.”

Being able to drive a car right out from the protected shelter of a garage not only saves time, but because the windows are free and clear of ice and snow, increases a driver’s visibility, thus enhancing safety.

“Parking the car in the garage during winter does result in salt infused slush and snow to melt on the garage floor,” says Aaron. “However, installing a floor covering, such as our Rhino Floor Coating, protects the garage floor from corrosion and makes it easy to keep the floor clean and visually appealing all winter long.”

An organized garage saves time and makes gardening simpler

March 16, 2010, TORONTO –Some consider the task of gardening and spring clean up arduous, while others eagerly anticipate its coming – but either way, with better organization gardening can be made simpler.

For the home owner who doesn’t have a gardening shed, springtime usually begins with searching for the gardening tools. After all, stuff tends to accumulate in a garage over the winter, so it’s not unusual for it to become cluttered and stuffed full with household items. Items such as, old VCRs and TVs, furniture and used appliances, all seem to get thrown into the garage when they’re no longer wanted or needed.

“It really is amazing what gets thrown into a garage – I’ve seen just about everything from old sofas to boxes of files that haven’t been touched for over 10 years; from fishing bait and sports equipment that’s been unintentionally buried in a corner and rotting,” says Aaron Cash, founder of Garage Living in Vaughan. “But there’s good news; with a little organization, much of the clutter can be avoided saving time and inconvenience, making it easy to find the much needed gardening tools.”

An organized and clean garage allows for prep work to be done in advance. Just think; pots could be prepared with stone and soil weeks ahead, just waiting for that eventful day or weekend. Additionally, with no time required to search for the right tool, gardening needs can be tended to easily and quickly.

“One of our clients had us build in their garage a workstation for their gardening activities, saying it was a dream come true and that there was so much room that she could really enjoy a Saturday afternoon in there,” says Mr. Cash. “She was pleased how the slatwall kept all the tools organized in their right spot and how the Floortex material which she had applied to the garage floor, made it so easy to clean up and keep shiny.”

Having a place to stack and store flower pots, and keep soil, peat moss, and fertilizing products makes gardening so much simpler. Everything can be accessed quickly and easily making repotting of plants and tending to gardens, convenient and enjoyable.

Garage Living shows how auto storage at home can pay - tax free

When a garage is more than just a garage
Garage Living shows how auto storage at home can pay - tax free

February 1, 2010, TORONTO - For a few years now, homeowners have begun to realize the potential of a garage, but for the discerning owner with a collector vehicle, vintage or elite sports car, a custom designed and fitted garage has a huge upside - it's an investment that pays back.

Putting a car in storage for the winter can be a costly venture, as it's an expense that reoccurs annually. While winter storage protects a vehicle and preserves the investment, the cost is unredeemable. Retrofitting a home's garage does quite the opposite - not only can it be designed to protect expensive vehicles; any increase to a home's value is a tax-free benefit to the homeowner.

"Typically, the ongoing expense of winter storage of vehicles, far surpass the cost of retrofitting a home's garage," says Aaron Cash. "By making use of the walls and ceiling it is easy to increase the useable floor space and improve the curb appeal of the home and garage for much less."

By keeping the car close and accessible, it's convenient for use or to perform off-season improvements.

"There are so many benefits to garage storage and organization, however, for the homeowner that's used to paying out of pocket for seasonal vehicle storage, there's a huge upside when it's stored at home," says Aaron. "The costs associated with turning a home's garage into the ideal storage facility merely become an investment into one's primary residence - an investment that's fully redeemable at a later time."

In addition to supplying and installing wall organizers, overhead storage units and flooring products, Garage Living also offers car lifts that can be used to store a seasonal vehicle while still allowing other vehicles to be parked inside. This is the most popular and reliable lift in North America, and does not need to be anchored to the floor. With three drip trays, one jack tray, a caster kit and ability to safely store vehicles both on top and beneath the lift, it is clearly multi-functional.

Should you want to learn more, Garage Living will be an exhibitor at the Canadian National Auto Show, February 12 - 21 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre or go to www.garageliving.ca.

Garage Living introduces flooring that will revolutionize your garage

MEDIA RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 2, 2008

Great for do-it-yourselfers, this multi-purpose, water-resistant tile, is easy to install

July 2, 2008, TORONTO – For some, a garage is just a garage, but to an ever increasing number of home owners, there is a realization that a garage has the potential to become much, much, more; and a good place to start is with the garage floor.

Revolutionizing a garage can be as simple as installing tile flooring making it visually appealing while increasing its usefulness.

“Garages can be dull, cold, damp, and uninviting, but simply installing tile flooring introduces a whole new fresh look and feel that opens the door for increased functionality,” says Frank Spano, Vice President of Marketing, Garage Living, Canada’s leading garage specialists. “Our new multi-purpose, zipper-lock tile can be easily installed without adhesive; it’s really easy to install yourself too.”

The thermal and water resistant qualities of VersaTile makes a garage feel warm and dry, resulting in a room that is more appealing to be in. Because the tiles are seamless with an impervious surface that is hard wearing and resistant to many chemicals including salt, oil and grease, and easy to clean, the garage can be a messy dirty workshop one moment and a play area that is clean and dry the next.

With a range of different colours from taupe, red, grey and black, to design options which can include a classic grey floor or a checkerboard floor that creates a “racetrack” look, VersaTile can be customized to meet just about everyone’s needs. It can also be laid on a flat or sloped surface, and is so easy to install that a mallet and a utility knife is all that’s needed.

“Another great feature is the multi-functionality of these tiles. While they are great for the garage, they can be used for basements, storage rooms, workshops, patios, laundry rooms; it’s endless,” says Frank Spano. “And with a global emphasis on recycling, and waste diversion, Garage Living’s VersaTile is made from recycled PVC and comes with our 5 year limited warranty.”

Even a garage needs a lift

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 16, 2007

Garage Living introduces the car lift designed for the home garage

October 16, 2007, TORONTO – Just as facelifts are meant to rejuvenate the face and give it a more youthful look, a garage lift, in a practical sort of way, rejuvenates and maximizes the space in a garage. The result, a more attractive, desirable and more valuable garage.

Just when you think you’ve exhausted every possible way to maximize the storage space in your garage, along comes the garage car lift designed especially for the home garage.

“It is fun seeing the look on people’s faces when they first see their hobby car, or recreational vehicle securely stored out of the way and still have room to park their family vehicle,” says Parag Shah, President of Garage Living, Canada’s leading garage specialists. “And with a set of four casters, the lift can be moved to anywhere in the garage, even with a car on it.”

The 4-Post, 7000 lb car lift can be used for vehicle service or storage. With its three drip trays, one jack tray, diamond plated runways, and four wheel stops, it’s the do-it-yourself mechanics dream. It’s perfect for working on vehicles. No more aching back and knees, just easy access to the undercarriage of a car.

Another neat aspect of the Garage Living Car Lift is the quality of its construction. This motorized lift is so sturdy that it doesn’t need to be anchored to the floor, and should it be necessary to relocate, it’s easy to pack up and take along.

The lift is great for any off-season storage of hobby cars, and with a lifting height of six feet, another car can fit beneath the lift. Other models are also available which can hold SUVs and trucks if needed. Or if it’s just extra storage space that’s needed during non-use times, Garage Living has designed storage units that fit the lift, perfectly.
