Housing prices in both Toronto and Vancouver may have driven you to purchase a condo. Maybe you’re just thinking about it, or maybe it’s the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. No question that condo living = convenient. But how can you make that tiny little concrete slab outside your living room window look and feel […]

Our experience with KANDY Outdoor Flooring has been and continues to be amazing. When we initially were looking for ideas for our outdoor condo balcony we looked at the traditional routes (big box stores, DIY solutions etc.) and this lead us nowhere. Not one of these solutions provided an end to end service which is […]

It's been four months since we travelled from Vancouver to Toronto to tape a pitch for Dragons' Den. We went into the experience hoping and expecting one kind of upside, but we're realizing a different payoff that is far more valuable. Because we don't know if our segment will actually make it onto a show, and if it […]

It’s fun for us to have been profiled in the Globe and Mail’s Small Business section. We're a young and growing brand working hard at expanding home experiences with new outdoor flooring deck tiles for condo balconies and ground level patios.

We didn't think his series would be complete without  KANDY Outdoor Flooring, so helping to transform Marc's own condo balcony was a no-brainer. Enjoy Marc's blog! FROM DRAB […]

KANDY is represented in the summer 2014 edition of Condo Elite Modern Living through a "guest editorial" focused on the trends we are seeing for urban outdoor spaces. We were honoured to have been asked and pleased with the result. I first became aware of the Condo Elite Modern Living magazine when it arrived in my condo […]

We hear it from clients all the time: their new outdoor flooring has given them more usable square footage than they had before. Developers and builders seem to have ignored this space over the last few decades. But as we urbanize, living closer together, and more and more of us choose to live in the smaller […]

Spring arrives at different times and in different temperaments depending on where you live.
