Following is an excerpt from the article by Mr. Alain Fortier in the magazine Surface published September last.
“Today, the entrepreneurship shown by Julien Paré and Richard Garneau allows PG-Model to offer innovative and durable floor covering. Founded in 1979, PG-Model currently obtains more than 80% of its raw material within a radius of less than 200 km.
The company, located in Saint-Édouard-de-Lotbinière, Quebec, uses its waste wood to heat its buildings and drying kilns. Wood shavings are sold to melamine wood manufacturers and farmers, further ensuring the conversion of this by-product of flooring production. The guarantee offered by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) also applies to the company’s engineered products made of red oak, maple and yellow birch.
Designers and architects garner additional benefits through the selection of flooring that complies with LEED standards. These two examples of local business showcase responsible development to better meet consumer and investor needs and expectations” [1] (translation).
PG-Model is proud to contribute in its own way to environmental protection and the preservation of a healthy planet for future generations.

Simply magnificent! My creation. My design. I love your flooring! We ordered white flooring (Akoya) for a room and will be receiving it soon. We also ordered blue flooring (Mykonos) for another room. We adore your products and recommend them to everyone we meet. Our installer had never installed red flooring (Geisha) before, but he liked the product so much that he brought a sample to show his wife. Certainly lovely merchandise! Your floors are incredible and simply magnificent!
