Our Flooring Store - Humble Beginnings

Elgin Carpet One Floor & Home first began as a family-owned and operated flooring business started by then-entrepreneur Jan Versteeg. Originally known as Elgin Floor and Wall Tile, Jan began by running it out of his garage until he was joined by his brothers, George and Tom. The business became Elgin Floor Covering Ltd, and in 1976, they moved out of Jan’s garage and into what was once an old car wash station, located at 1026 Talbot Street. Then, in 1991, Elgin Floor Covering proudly became a Canadian charter member of Carpet One – the largest co-op in North America.

 

The Opening of Wallpaper Loft

As the business continued to flourish and expand, Wallpaper Loft was launched in 1976 to offer premium home improvement products. It would eventually expand and be relocated next door in ’97. Today, Wallpaper Loft offers Benjamin Moore’s quality selection of paint products, premium wallpaper collections, and Hunter Douglas blinds and shutters. Wallpaper Loft is the perfect complement to Elgin Carpet One’s wide selection of flooring, making our business a one-stop shop for your home renovation needs.
