What gives stately homes their character? Exactly why does an elegant room feel so inviting? What's the best way to enhance the ambience of your favourite household space? Here at Elite Trimworks Corp., we've got answers to these questions, and they come in the form of the world's finest trim, moulding, and wainscot. We use these elements to infuse today's homes with the kind of grace, elegance and refinement that's easy to love. We do our work in ways that never go out of style, and we succeed by combining three things that few other firms even attempt to match. Head quartered in the greater Toronto area, we design trim elements and architectural features from scratch, we manufacture what we design, and we install our products to meticulous standards. Almost no one else in the trim business takes such a complete approach, because few share our founding vision. Our success at Elite Trimworks Corp., is based on one simple commitment: Develop an artistic architectural vision for a room, combine it with the technical know-how required to make that vision a reality, then watch good things happen. Our team of resident designers and craftsmen love their work. This is our secret. It's at the heart of our corporate DNA. It gives us the energy to monitor the world of architectural detailing with enthusiasm, bringing the best of new designs and materials to discerning clients. Nowhere else but at Elite will you find our flexible, printable wainscoting that arcs effortlessly around curved walls. You won't find our hardwood-veneered raised panel wainscoting anywhere else, either. Then there are the 40 different kinds of embossed architectural mouldings that we developed based on European technology -- another Elite Moulding exclusive. Corbels, columns, ceiling medallions, beamed ceilings . . . the list is long.
