Creating stunning indoor-outdoor spaces, flooding your home with natural light, and highlighting a standout view starts here.
Allerdice Ace Hardware & Building Supply is bringing the outdoors in at their new 41 Walworth Street showroom in Saratoga Springs.
Last year, Allerdice, a leading provider of Marvin Windows & Doors for more than 35 years, remodeled the front of their store (previously home to a gift shop and seasonal product displays) to showcase a range of their premium products.
The collection was formally housed upstairs in a windowless 8’ x 8’ room (that will now become an employee break room), the store’s latest remodel is the third that Outside Sales Rep Don Cox has seen during his 17 years working at this location.
Operating as a lumber yard since before 1869, the property, which has been under the ownership of the Allerdice family since 1982, is now home to six buildings including a woodshop and small engine repair shop, but with the increased sales of new construction and renovation projects in the area, there was a definite need for a centrally-located showroom like this, he said.
“Wally Allerdice didn’t want to be the biggest, he wanted to sell quality products at an affordable price,” said Don.
The Clear Difference
Architecturally, the windows on the exterior wall of the Allerdice Marvin Windows & Doors showroom all look the same, but once inside, customers can see how all four (single hung, double hung, casement, and awning styles) operate differently.
Allerdice carries three lines of Marvin windows and doors; the Essential, Elevate, and Ultimate series, available in a variety of paint and stain colors.
The Elevate series (made with wood and fiberglass construction) and the fiberglass Essential series are extremely stable when exposed to varying temperatures or moisture and can usually be delivered to the jobsite within a month of purchase.
The Ultimate in Protection
Safeguard your home with the Ultimate series’ reinforced wood and aluminum materials that provide superior sound-protection on busy city streets. Ultra high-end, the Ultimate series’ narrow style handrails maximize glass for uninterrupted views with the assurance that comes with a 20-year non-pro-rated warrantee covering all their windows, sliding, lift and slide, and multi-sliding patio, French, and hinged glass doors.
Saratoga’s Allerdice store is the only distributor in the Northeast with a full bi-folding door on display. These unique doors, available from the standard 80” height (up to a spacious 96”) provide the opportunity for a completely clear opening to 22’ wide.
All Decked Out
Also displayed in the new showroom is a Timber Tech Decking sample wall and small deck area where customers can see, touch, and walk on three grades of low-maintenance composite decking, available in 4”, 6”, and 8” widths and in 38 different color choices. The Azek PVC decking is covered in a cap stock finish. The wood-grain texture of this material (even in darker stains) stays at a temperature of less than 130 degrees (cooler than similar wood-based composite and natural wood products that can reach a scorching 185 degrees in direct sunlight).
Here, too, you can experience vinyl, aluminum, and composite railings with the traditional white, black, or the new favorite, cable railings (glass panel inserts are also available). With less than a two-week lead time, and a full 25-year warrantee that covers both materials and labor for all Timber Teck products, you’ll be enjoying your resilient new outdoor deck in no time.
