How the HST transition affects you

The Provincial Government of Nova Scotia has legislated an increase in the HST from 13% to 15% effective July 1, 2010. This will affect the tax applied to the purchase of goods and services particularly in reference to the timing of the delivery of these purchases.

  1. Any product sold and delivered to a customer before July 1, 2010, the old HST rate of 13% applies.
  2. Any product sold and paid for before July 1, 2010, but not delivered until July 1, 2010 or after, the old HST Rate of 13% would apply. Note that this is for the product only.
  3. For installation services performed before July 1, 2010, the old HST rate of 13% applies.
  4. For installation services performed on or after July 1, 2010, the new HST rate of 15% would apply. Payment by the customer prior to July 1, 2010 does not matter; the new HST rate of 15% would still apply.

Wacky's introduces Leather Flooring...

If you’ve bought leather furniture and loved it, you’ll be pleased to know that leather is now a beautiful and reliable floor for the home.

Wacky’s Floor Design  Centre has introduced TORLYS Leather flooring to the Metro Halifax area as part of TORLYS’ nationwide “Create a Sensation with Leather” launch event.

TORLYS Leather is made from 100% recycled leather and comes in a variety of classic tones and patterns. This floor has a strong appeal for décor. Consumers who balance concern for the environment with a desire for rich, natural textures and leading edge design.

Like all TORLYS Smart Floors, TORLYS Leather has a 25-year wear warranty. Few products can match TORLYS Leather for its combination of looks, affordability and long-lasting performance.

The collection has a wide selection, 12 different styles and colours in planks or tiles, with names such as Catania, Genova Cognac and Novara Black.



In the past, leather floors have been expensive, but TORLYS Leather uses a completely new technology to offer excellent quality at a very acceptable price. The floor is made with a beneficial acoustic and insulating cork backing, which means the floor does not require a separate  underlay when installed.

TORLYS Smart Floors is a fast-growing global flooring company specializing in beautiful, easy-to-install, easy-to-maintain flooring. Every TORLYS product is environmentally responsible and engineered using the patented Uniclic joint. TORLYS hard surface flooring has extensive selection of styles and colours, in hardwood, laminate, cork and, most recently, leather. Smart Floors are sold only through TORLYS dealers in North America, Europe and New Zealand.
