Our Story - our people

Creative At Home Inc. is the world's largest manufacturer of pre-finished Alder flooring under the label of Antique Impressions. As one of Canada's fastest growing companies, Creative At Home puts quality above all else — quality of product line, quality of service, quality of relationships and quality of life.

Creative At Home Inc. created the Antique Impressions Collection of alder hardwood flooring just over 6 short years ago, as a response to the renewed interest in natural and authentic wood flooring. Recognizing the beauty of character Western Red Alder and having a dedication to quality, the flooring line was launched historic colours. The Antique Impressions Collection was an instant success because of traditional hand craft methods and the special long lengths and wide widths. Increased demand for Antique Impressions alder flooring products meant the addition of wider planks, matching transition, stair nosings and trims, and engineered flooring to the collection. The most dramatic additions to this product line were the introduction of our Knotty Alder Door Collection in 2005 and the Chateau Plank Collection in 2006. Soon enough, Creative At Home was the largest pre-finished Alder flooring manufacturer in the world!

With this great success, Creative At Home Inc was able to consolidate all its production under one roof in Jia Shan, Shanghai, China at the beginning of 2007. This has allowed Creative At Home to continue to focus its efforts on manufacturing top quality products meant to last for generations in the most sustainable methods available. It has also opened up the ability to offer an extended product line including the Estate Plank Collection of White Oak and Black Walnut, reclaimed Heart Pine, fumed wood flooring and a modern collection. A close relationship with an exclusive dealer network means that Creative At Home is able to respond very quickly to produce custom products as desired by our more discerning clientele.

Starting with FSC and SFI certified lumber, all efforts are made to use the maximum amount of material brought in and minimize waste. The product lines expose the beauty of natural wood character and helps to offset the destruction of valuable forest resources by using all of the lumber from a tree, not just the clear parts. Our goal is to become a "zero-waste" facility. Future plans include adding solar panels to the roof and generating our own power.

Canadian owned and managed, Creative At Home Inc is dedicated to sustainable production methods to preserve the quality of our natural environment and of your living environments.
