Our Ensuite showroom brand was born in Prince George, BC in September of 1988 featuring “The Bold Look of Kohler”. Shortly thereafter, in 1990, our first Vancouver showroom was completed.

During this time, plumbing wholesale showrooms were a new thing and very much uncharted territory. It was a new way of providing consumers with an upscale place to view and select plumbing fixtures for their renovation or new construction rather than just shopping over the counter or from a regular hardware store.

As with anything that EMCO does, we do it up right. Every vignette was designed and decorated right down to the last hand towel and robe hook. Carpet and tile adorned almost every surface in the showroom along with carefully placed floral arrangements and decorative vases. 

Grand, opulent, luxurious were all words that described our showrooms back then. Our Vancouver location even had a baby grand piano in one of the suites.

Polished brass, gold and chrome complimented every room. Oversize drop-in tubs with multiple jets and back jets were ready for consumers to take for a test drive. 

We didn’t have any concerns regarding water conservation in those days, so those large showers with spray heads coming at you from every angle were very popular.

When competitor showrooms started to enter the market place with white fixtures, EMCO and Kohler were doing the opposite. Timberline Green, Desert Bloom, Seafoam Green, Raspberry Puree and Merlot were all common fixture colors by Kohler. 

It was a time of jewel tones or soft pastel colors and of course black and white. As with most fashion trends they come and go, so don’t be surprised if the cycle starts to repeat itself. 

Our showroom team consisted of many young women who had personality and strong sales skills to deal with a typical male dominated industry. A dress code of black & cream was what identified our young women who were provided with a small clothing allowance to maintain the professional look in the showroom.

Looking back we are proud to say we were one of the first to bring plumbing showrooms to the market and have been pushing the envelope opening new, expansive showrooms across this country every year.

For over 30 years, we have been a leading provider of bath and kitchen products in British Columbia. Our Ensuite showrooms continue to evolve, offering a wider variety of products on display and more immersive environments.

Styles, trends and colours may change over the years, but our commitment to providing the best possible customer experience and advice will continue to be what sets us apart, making us a preferred destination for homeowners and contractors.
