"I was in Shock. . . . my brand new columns had just blown down over a set of 4 concrete steps and onto the patio. . . . With the exception of a couple of sandable scratches, there were no cracks, no dents no nothing. . . .They are in place now and the look great."

R-Wholesale is a Canadian Company based in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Selling our imported products on line allows us to pass on significant savings to Canadian developers, contractors and do it yourselfers in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
If you are looking for polyurethane millwork, trim moulding or other decorative polyurethane products, you can purchase them here at wholesale prices direct from the importer. We have also begun adding more polyurethane profiles from overseas to our offerings, to save you even more on your next home improvement or home building project.
R-Wholesale.ca is not a traditional retailer, we are a distributor of wholesale products. The products that you find offered here are those that we are able to make available to the public; however, we do not maintain a group of expensive telephone consultants. The majority of our sales are done through Canadian Dealers; If you are looking to purchase your crown moulding or other products from R-Wholesale.ca, we ask that you consult with a contractor, designer or knowledgeable acquaintance regarding the specific design criteria and applications necessary for your project. This allows us to pass even more savings on to you, while we keep busy doing what we do best . . . distribution.
If you are looking to adorn your home or project with a unique look that will set you apart from the rest you have come to the right place. Crown moulding and decorative is are only the beginning. We will be adding further home improvement and building related products and supplies over the following year, but only if we are able to offer them at a truly competitive price to our customers.
