Remarkable New Indoor/Outdoor Ceiling Option Arrives in Canada

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 16, 2012) -

ATTENTION: Lifestyle Editors.

A revolutionary product that will do for ceilings and under decks in Canada what the introduction of laminates did for the flooring industry is being featured at the Toronto Home Show March 16^th to 25^th.

The ZipUp system is an easy-to-install interior and exterior panel system that can be used under decks and as an interior ceiling system. It's an interlocking panel design that is water tight, stain, mold and mildew resistant, fully paintable and has a class A fire rating.

Installation is faster and easier than either drywall or suspended ceilings for basement renovations. In an exterior application ZipUp results in an under-deck system that will withstand snow and rain, providing complete dry-space living outdoors.

The product is being showcased at the show as part of a 200 square foot under deck installation in the Deck Masters of Canada booth #5415 (www.deckmasters.ca).

The ZipUp system has been available in the United States for some time but it is now making its premier appearance in Canada and it is generating a lot of excitement according to product specialist Kathy Pion of MP Global Products-ZipUp Ceilings.

"There are so many advantages to using this product, it's really hard to zero in on one or two," Pion said. "The ease of installation is definitely one of the reasons it's proving to be so popular because almost anybody, even those who are not remotely DIY-inclined can put this up in a jiffy."

She points out that the product has a two inch drop compared to the six inch usually required for traditional suspended ceilings allowing for more head room in basement renos.

Other product features include:

• 25-year limited warranty.
• Simple to remove, clean and replace.
• Simple rail system installation.
• Easy access to wiring & plumbing.
• Attractive, finished, professional look.

ZipUp is available in Canada through Deck Masters of Canada and their network of contractors and retailers.
