Dufferin Tile updates their presence on the Internet
Helping you understand our new format
January 1, 2005 -- We at Dufferin Tile have updated our
internet site, as you will have noticed if you have visited us here
previously. Our goal is to make it easier for all of our customers to
gather the information they want, when they want. We will be posting
announcements as new products arrive, as new services are available or
when anything noteworthy comes up.
We are planning to create a website which is constantly growing and
evolving to better suit the needs of our customers. This may mean,
especially at the beginning, that there will be some awkwardness as we
attempt to put everything in its proper place. However, we are hoping
that we will receive customer feedback to let us know what you like,
what you dislike and what you would like to see that is not already
here. With your help, we will be able to make your tile shopping that
much easier.
As of the time of this announcement, we will have little more than
the framework available for you to view. However, full picture galleries
and price quotations have been planned and will be available in the
future. We will also be keeping this website updated on a consistent
basis, so please check back with us often.
James Hardie, Dufferin Tile, January 2005 It's Dufferin Tile's annual February sale
Since 1981, our biggest sale of the year
February 1, 2005 -- Well, it's that time of
year again! Dufferin Tile is honouring tradition and holding the
annual February blow-out. Since 1981, we have been offering our
customers the best prices around when we clear out inventory for
this yearly clearance.
"This is our most important sale of the year, with a wide
selection of tile put on the lowest prices of the year. This is
not like those big box stores that lure you in with one or two
loss leaders, leaving the customer with limited selection and
high prices on most other items. We offer great deals on all of
our product lines, giving the customer what they really want,
value and selection." - Claudio Palombo
The sale begins on February 19, and lasts until February 27.
We will have ceramic wall tile starting at just $.39 and floor
tiles from $.79 while porcelain floor tiles will be as low as
$.99! Where else can you find porcelain for less than a dollar?
We will have some polished porcelain beginning at $1.59 and we
have not forgotten the natural stones, with slate from $1.69 and
marble and granite from $2.99. Of course, we will also have a
selection of laminate flooring, hardwood and even area rugs
priced to catch your eye, so don't miss out!
Here at Dufferin Tile, we believe in offering great value to
our customers. Maintaining the tradition of our annual sale is
just one more way in which we can honour this.

Spring is sprung!
Dufferin Tile unleashes its spring renewal sale
Spring has come and the weather is great! For many of us, it is time
to attend to that spring cleaning, making our home looking fresh and
new. Perhaps that front veranda didn't handle the winter so well and you
are looking for some porcelain tile, slate or flamed granite. Or perhaps
you need to brighten up your kitchen, adding some warmth and life into
your home. Whatever your project, Dufferin Tile would like to help you
out.
Our spring renewal sale is about helping our customers reap the
rewards of a fresh new look inside their home without
renewing their mortgage. But you will have to be quick, spring doesn't
last forever, and our sale won't either. It's only running for two short
days, May 7th and May 8th, but you will see it is well worth the visit.
In the meantime, all of us at Dufferin Tile encourage you to come
visit and browse our selection. You will want to see some samples ahead
of time so you will be ready to make your selection during the sale! So
come on over, take this opportunity to make your home feel new again.

Dufferin Tile's 25th Annual
Sale
February 4th - February 12th |
Well, even though it's been a mild Toronto winter so
far, Dufferin Tile is not going to be content offering mild prices
during our annual sale!
That's right, it's that time of year again and you won't have to worry
about affording that renovation project you've been planning! Just in
time too, with lots of time to spare before that spring cleaning bug
hits and you get trapped in a home renovation unprepared and a budget
blown out of proportion!
We are began our sale on the first Saturday in
February and was scheduled to end in early March. However, for the
listeners of 1050 CHUM, Dufferin Tile has agreed to honour our annual
sale prices between March 18 and March 26. As usual, Dufferin Tile is
offering phenomenal prices on everything from
Ceramic to Porcelain to Natural Stone! We will also be offering great
prices on other products such as Laminate flooring, so don't forget to
check out Dufferin Tile, whatever your renovation project entails!
This year, for the first time ever, Dufferin Tile is
giving everyone a sneak peak at these great prices
we keep hinting about! That's right, we aren't going to hide anything
from you. What does this mean to you, the consumer? Well, it means that
you won't have to worry about hearing about Ceramic tile below a
dollar and coming all the way out to the store only to find that there
is only one, hideously coloured, tile below a buck with all the other
prices jacked up. Here at Dufferin Tile, you will see (as one small
example) that we have several lines of Ceramic tiles, each with
several colours within each line, that will add up to
over 100 different Ceramic tiles
that will come in under $1.00 per square foot.
What does this really mean? Simply put, this isn't
some cheesy corporate gimmick,. this is a real old-fashioned sale! This
is where all your tile choices are good ones! This means
20 Porcelain tiles under
$1.50 and in total over 50
Porcelain tiles for under $2.00 per square foot!
When you regularly pay over $5.00 for Porcelain elsewhere, that's a
fantastic deal! So forget those big box stores and their misleading
corporate flyers. Forget about those other stores who try to tell you
they have great prices (which are incidentally reserved for their
contractors!) Dufferin Tile is giving you a great price on a
fantastic selection of products! So check out our
prices now and keep your renovation budget reasonable!

Spring is the season to find Italian
Porcelain
April 1st - May 14th
Dufferin Tile has offered great value since 1961, and this is
still as true today as it has ever been in the past.
What is value? As we all know, value is not only about the
lowest price. Value is about comparing the money spent against the quality given
in return. This is why spring is an important season for the customers of Dufferin
Tile, because it is in the spring that you can find the best quality material at the
lowest price. We are putting every single last square foot of Italian porcelain
left in our warehouse on sale!
What is Italian porcelain? Well, porcelain tiles themselves
are the best man-made tile that you can get your hands on. And in Italy, they
take pride in their ability to produce the highest quality tiles in the latest
and most fashionable designs. This means you are getting the ultimate fusion of
durability, strength and appearance. What else could you ask for?
Price, and that is exactly what Dufferin Tile is giving you
this spring!
Our president, Mr. Claudio Palombo, would like to add his
comments on our annual spring event. "As we have done every April, we are
offering incredible deals on Italian porcelain tile. Porcelain tile made in
Italy is the best product (for man-made/non-natural stone) available for
flooring. Not only because of its strength and durability, but also because of
its design. And because it is such an essential product to the tile industry,
once per year, every April, we put every single in-stock, porcelain tile from
Italy at prices so low that there is something to fit everyone's budget!"
Well everything is considered, it is easy to see that
Dufferin Tile is still offering fantastic value for everyone. So come on down,
enjoy some great value, and pick up some stylish Italian porcelain to liven up
your home.

A good thing never goes out of style
Dufferin Tile's "cash 'n carry" event has
returned after several years
Dufferin Tile has decided to bring back a very
popular event, last offered in the summer of '99, the "Cash 'n Carry"
summer event. For years, customers have been asking about it, and this
is the year that we will repeat it for you. Every single
tile in stock will have a special "cash 'n carry" price. This special
pricing will be substantially lower than even our fantastic sale prices!
Want to finish up some of those loose ends around the
home this summer? Need some great savings to help make it possible?
Well, this is the event you are looking for! There will be Italian
ceramic wall tiles available for just 20 cents a square foot! For the
floors, ceramics will start at 75 cents and porcelain from 95 cents a
square foot! We will even have tiles made from natural stone available
for $1.35 per square foot. But remember, these prices will be available
only on currently stocked items, and while we will continue to bring in
containers of material to stock our warehouse, this special will operate
on a first-come, first serve basis. So be the first one to come over to
Dufferin Tile and enjoy the great deals that you simply cannot find
elsewhere.
Does this just sound too good to be true? Maybe you
are thinking "There has got to be a catch somewhere"? Well, check
out our online gallery and see for yourself!
Every single tile has a "cash 'n carry" price listed below it! So check
it out! See what all the fuss is really about, and then come save
yourself a ton of cash before August 13.
So, how does this "cash 'n carry" event work exactly?
To qualify, you will be required to place your order and pick it up
(in its entirety!) immediately. Payment must completed with cash, interac, certified cheque, money order or bank draught, otherwise a 3%
surcharge will apply to Visa and MasterCard payments. These special
prices will only apply to in-stock items, rain-checks will not apply.
However, it will be possible to purchase out-of-stock items at the
regular sale price for pick-up at a later date. In other words, your
purchase must be made on a tile which we have in-stock at that moment!
Dufferin Tile now has Bamboo Flooring
Dufferin Tile has recently begun to offer Bamboo flooring,
one of the premium and most highly sought after products on the flooring market
today.
Bamboo is ideal for high traffic residential and commercial
floors, and since it comes in a nice variety of stains and grains, it is easy
for everyone to find a great fit in their home or office. Starting from just
$6.59 a square foot, you will get the look of an exotic wood in a product which
is both harder and environmentally friendly. So come see our selection of Bamboo
along with the rest of our showroom.

Cork Flooring? At Dufferin
Tile?
Yes! The rumours are true! |
Well, who would have thought it possible! First
Brazilian Hardwood, then Crystal Glass mosaics, Laminate flooring,
Bamboo flooring and now Cork!
Dufferin Tile is not just about ceramics and stone
these days, Dufferin Tile has flooring options to suit any need in your
home! We are pleased to announce that several lines of Cork flooring
have been added to our showroom for you, our customer. With most people
avoiding carpet these days (you know how it traps all that dust and
those allergens) many people find that their flooring options have
been reduced to tile and hardwood. But, at Dufferin Tile we are pleased
to offer yet another alternative, Cork. Cork flooring is heavily sought
after these days, particularly in high rise apartments where sound
transfer can be a large issue. Comfortable to walk on, with a clean,
slick look, Cork is rapidly establishing itself as an important choice
in the modern floor. So browse our selection online,
or come to see it firsthand in our showroom. Either way, we believe you
will be pleasantly surprised.

Dufferin Tile's 27th Annual Sale is Re-Issued
Come to Dufferin Tile this April and still
receive the best deals of the year!
Dufferin Tile's 27th edition of their "BIG ANNUAL
SALE" was, as always, held in late February to early March. However,
this year it was plagued by an unfortunate bout of poor weather that
held its grip on us for two solid months, ever since arriving in
mid-January. Then on top of all of this, the problems were further
compounded by the gasoline shortage we experienced.
As a result, many customers have asked for a second
chance. And now, Dufferin Tile is doing just that, putting the "BIG
ANNUAL SALE" prices on all items for the entire month of April. We
give you our word, the same great prices which were available in
February and March are now going to be available for the entire month of
April! So check out the prices, you can see them from the comfort of
your own home by looking in our gallery!
Just another example of how flexible Dufferin Tile
can be when it comes to pleasing their clientele.
