EDMONTON— At itsmost basic, adoor is littlemore than a few pieces of wood and some hardware. But it can be so much more than that. A door can be a statement about your home. It can provide security while still being welcoming. It can be an integral part of your house design. And it can be a work of art.

In under a decade, Fancy Doors and Mouldings (FD+M) have gone from a very modest 10,000-square foot shop to a sparkling 70,000-square foot showroom and production facility on Roper Road. In fact, the Fancy Doors and Mouldings showroom is now the largest in Western Canada.

The humble (and no-so humble) door remain the cornerston­e of the business, but owners Monty Grewal and Upinder Matharu have expanded the business to include tools, wall paneling, and

flooring. Mostly however it’s still about doors, and everything that goes into, or around one.

Edmonton’s booming constructi­on industry turns to locally owned FD+M for its quality, variety and service. As Monty Grewal proudly points out, all of

the doors in two of Edmonton’s premiere condo developmen­ts, Edgewater Towers and The Pearl, come from Fancy Doors.

While Edmonton builders know and trust FD+M, Monty says no order from the average homeowner is too small. “Even if you just want a new front door or replacemen­t bi-fold doors for your closet, you will receive the same expert service and selection afforded to major builders.”

Fancy Doors and Mouldings deals with only the best names in doors and mouldings, companies like Jeld-Wen and Alexendria Mouldings. There are about 8,000 doors in stock, and thousands of different design options.

You want a door that looks

like a guitar? Wouldn’t your son or daughters name carved into their bedroom door be cool? Sure. The door is the grand entrance to whatever happens to be behind it.

“If customers have something unique in mind, that’s no problem for us,” Monty says. “People bring in their own designs, and we make the door.”

Mouldings provide what

are quite literally the finishing touches on a door and Fancy Doors and Mouldings has over 300 of them, everything from casings to baseboards to crowns.

And since no door is complete — or even usable — without hardware, FD+M carry hundreds of varieties of door knobs, hinges, locks and everything else you need, from companies like Emtek, Weiser, and Taymor.

To get a feel for what Fancy Doors and Mouldings has to offer, a visit to the showroom is a must. Doors, hardware, mouldings—it’s all beautifull­y on display.

“Peoplewant to see it, and feel it,” says

Monty. “It’s not the same, as just going online.”

Fancy Doors and Mouldings is literally a one-stop shop for everything connected to every style and use of door. It is 100 per cent Canadian owned, and have proudly centered their operations in Edmonton. They’re committed to the kind of expert service you may not find at a big box retailer.
