Cleaning up in the garage

A Blainville-based company is trying to break into a market niche that looks very promising: garage design! Traditionally reserved for the car, the residential garage will be transformed by Espace Garage Plus into a clean, pleasant and well-appointed multifunctional room. By providing maximum storage space, the largest heated room in the house can be used for a variety of activities, such as DIY.

The company offers versatile, hard-wearing furnishings. High-quality flooring is easy to clean and resistant to chipping and staining. The storage cabinets are sturdy and designed specifically for the residential garage environment. Its one-inch-thick adjustable shelves can accommodate even the heaviest items and accessories. Finally, she installs a steel wall-hanging system that secures a series of racks, baskets and hooks to a grid, allowing sports equipment, gardening accessories and work tools to be hung so that they are clearly visible and easily accessible. It seems that this type of design is already all the rage in the United States. In 2005, The National Association of Homebuilders estimated that homeowners in the U.S. with single, double or multiple garages had spent over $2.5 billion on residential garage landscaping. According to the Wall Street Journal, the residential garage industry in the U.S. today is comparable to the walk-in closet industry fifteen years ago.
