UPDATE YOUR DÉCOR Adding some new decorative elements is a fun, budget-friendly way to completely change the look of your home and evoke a dream destination. Wishing you could visit Paris? Hang some black and white photos of iconic scenes from beloved French films in your living room. Fantasizing about a Caribbean beach trip? Crisp white linens, some teal throw pillows and colourful artwork in your bedroom can quickly transport you far away.

Finding new uses for outside areas can help you maximize your living space and create a mini getaway on your property. Add a wicker chair and bold outdoor area rug to your porch to make it a cozy place to read a good book.

FINANCIAL

WHAT IS DEPOSIT PROTECTION FOR?

DEPOSIT PROTECTION

TAKES THE STRESS OUT OF BUYING NEW HOMES Are you planning on buying a new-build house or condominium unit this year? Prices of new homes have gone up in recent years, and so has the amount required for deposits. Fortunately, deposit protection can offer peace of mind as you shop for your new dream home.

Deposits for newly built homes are protected under Ontario’s new home warranty program, which is administered by Tarion. Coverage has recently been increased and expanded to provide buyers with even more protection.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Deposit protection covers you in cases where your builder goes bankrupt or fundamentally breaches your agreement.

It also applies in situations where you exercise a statutory right to terminate the purchase agreement, such as when completion of your home is extended beyond the latest allowable date in the addendum section.

DEPOSITS ON FREEHOLD HOMES If the price of your new freehold home is $600,000 or less, your deposit is covered for up to $60,000. For example, if the price of the home you’re buying is $550,000 and you put down $60,000, your entire deposit is protected. If it’s over $600,000, you’re protected for 10% of the purchase price, up to a maximum of $100,000.

DEPOSITS ON CONDOMINIUMS If you’re looking to buy a condo unit, you benefit from two levels of deposit?protection. To begin with, your deposit is protected by the trust provisions of the Condominium Act. Under the act, your builder must hold your deposit money in a trust account. As a second level of protection, if for some reason your deposit was not placed in trust, the new home warranty provides protection for up to $20,000.

UPGR ADES AND EXTR AS Deposit protection now covers other payments related to your new home within the above limits, such as those you make for upgrades and extras like hardwood flooring or granite counters.

Knowing the money you put down is protected makes the thought of buying a pre-construction house or condo a lot less daunting. Find more information at tarion.com. ◆ newscanada.com

LG e h T WASHTOWER TECHNOLOGY

™

LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE

LG ELECTRONICS CANADA (LG) HAS ANNOUNCED THAT IT IS BRINGING ONE OF ITS MOST ADVANCED HOME APPLIANCE INNOVATIONS – THE LG WASHTOWER™ – TO THE CANADIAN MARKET. LAUNCHING NATIONWIDE, THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED LG WASHTOWER PACKS INNOVATIVE, SMART FEATURES INTO HALF THE FOOTPRINT THAT IS REQUIRED BY TRADITIONAL SIDE-BY-SIDE LAUNDRY UNITS.

WE ARE EXCITED TO BRING THE LG WASHTOWER TO CANADA; IT IS THE EPITOME OF MODERN DESIGN, SEAMLESSLY BLENDING A MODERN AESTHETIC WITH INNOVATION,” said Ashley Audisho, Senior Marketing Manager, Home Appliance, LG Electronics Canada.

“WITH ITS SLEEK UNIT DESIGN, THIS LAUNDRY DUO SAVES PRECIOUS SPACE, LEAVING MORE ROOM TO REINVENT YOUR LAUNDRY ROOM – WHETHER THAT’S ADDING A FOLDING AREA, A SINK, A PET WASH STATION OR ANY EXTRA STORAGE THAT YOUR FAMILY MAY NEED. BETTER YET – IT’S PACKED WITH SMART TECHNOLOGY TO SIMPLIFY THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY PROCESS.

12

There is an increasing demand to bring fullsize capacity laundry units to compact spaces, which is exactly what the LG WashTower is designed for. The sleek single unit LG WashTower has full-size features in half the space. Unlike conventional stacked pairs, LG’s exclusive Centre Control panel is perfectly positioned with both washer and dryer controls at just the right height.

ALL YOU WANT IN HALF THE SPACE

LG WashTower’s single unit design makes the most of space efficiency while adding the benefit of full-size capacity – all with a sleek, streamlined aesthetic. The premium black steel finish, chrome rim and control knob accents elevate any decor, and the scratchresistant tempered glass doors are designed to look good for the long haul.

CONVENIENT CENTRE CONTROL PANEL

BUILT-IN INTELLIGENCE TAKES OUT THE GUESSWORK

Only the LG WashTower has the convenient Centre Control panel, placing both washer and dryer controls in the middle of the stacked set, making it intuitive and easy to reach. In comparison, traditional stacked washer and dryer controls are placed at the very top of each machine, making the dryer buttons hard to see and reach. With the shared centralized control panel, the LG WashTower is 3.4 inches shorter than LG’s historical stacked units – allowing the LG WashTower to fit into nearly any laundry space.

When it comes to doing laundry, 50% of all consumers default to the Normal Cycle on their washers and dryers because they simply don’t know which setting to choose. LG’s Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive™ (AIDD) technology takes out the guesswork.

The LG WashTower’s built-in AIDD intelligence uses sensors to detect fabric softness and load size, and then automatically selects the right wash motions and cycle time for precise fabric care.

And it gets smarter: the LG WashTower will even learn the user’s preferred settings. Simply activate Smart Learner™ in the LG ThinQ® app and it will remember the selected wash temperature, spin speed or dry level. With Smart Pairing™, the washer can even tell the dryer the right compatible drying cycle, making LG WashTower the ultimate laundry hack.

GET IT ALL DONE IN LESS TIME

Ultra-large capacity fits more clothes in every load and helps to conquer laundry day faster. LG TurboWash 360° powers through larger laundry loads in less time, thanks to five jets with variable sprays that deliver a complete clean in under 30 minutes. With 4.5 cubic feet in the washer and 7.4 cubic feet in the dryer, it fits big loads of towels, jeans, or a king-size comforter, for big time-savings every week.

HELP REMOVE ALLERGENS IN FABRICS

The LG WashTower is proudly certified as asthma & allergy friendly® by Asthma Canada. This machine’s Allergiene™ wash cycle goes beyond everyday cleaning, using the gentle power of steam to remove common household allergens in fabrics by more than 95%. In addition, LG TurboSteam™ technology in the dryer helps sanitize and refresh clothes in between washes as well as children’s toys, decorative pillows and more.

LAUNDRY MADE BETTER FOR YOU AND THE PLANET The LG WashTower is ENERGY STAR® certified from ENERGY STAR Canada, earning it international recognition as a high-efficiency product.

Helping consumers save money while helping the planet, ENERGY STAR certified washers and dryers use 25% less energy and 33% less water than traditional models.

With new ways to control your home, and a future-ready open platform, LG’s innovative line of connected home appliances including the LG WashTower let you get everything done quickly and more efficiently than ever before.

Discover intuitive, smart technology that will change the way you run your home, from the kitchen, to the living room, to the laundry room, and more—and control it all in the palm of your hand. Every appliance seamlessly integrates ThinQ technology and WiFi connectivity to make life at home easier so you can connect to the things that make life good.

AVAILABLE NOW, the LG WashTower can be found at retailers nationwide.
