Do you need new carpet or flooring installed?

March 11, 2017 at 8:34 pm

Does your home have carpet stains, rips or pet dander smells?  How about linoleum flooring?  If so you are in need of an upgrade.  Tearing out the old flooring and replacing with new carpeting or tile will make a huge difference in how your home feels when you walk inside.

Carpeting will become worn over time especially with kids and pets.  Today’s carpet has many options:

  • Stainmaster®’s PetProtect® line is the best choice of carpet for homes with pets and kids.
  • Resists pet stains. The carpet is solution dyed and made with SuperiorSD™ nylon fiber so it’s color safe.  It has built-in stain protection and it locks in the color so it resists fading.
  • STAINMASTER® TruSoft®carpet is one of the top rated soft carpets on the market today. It has a luxurious feel under your feet as you walk around your home.   TruSoft® carpet is manufactured from specially engineered nylon fibers to give it a super soft feel.
  • STAIN RESISTANT
  • TruSoft® carpet has stain resistance to food and beverage stains.
  • PROVEN PERFORMANCE
  • TruSoft® carpet is known to be very durable and easy to clean.

Carpet tile is also called carpet squares or modular carpet and is an alternative to standard carpet rolls.

  • The market share of carpet tile has grown significantly over the last couple of years. Historically it has been primarily used for commercial floor installation, but a growing number of residential carpet manufacturers have begun to market products aimed at the consumer.

 

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is the fastest growing segment in the flooring industry.

  • This is the designer’s choice for many commercial and residential applications. This unique product is the perfect combination of beauty, maintenance and durability.
  • You can now  have the look, graining, and character of real hardwood in LVT.  Today’s manufacturing processes create amazing vinyl “wood” planks and textured “stone” tiles that rival the real thing.
  • Luxury vinyl flooring systems use advanced realistic photographic technologies  to replicate real hardwoods and stones. There are four  layers fused together to produce the final product: a resilient vinyl backing, a vinyl color layer, a photographic film layer, and a urethane or aluminum oxide top layer. The protective top layer  is very important to the durability of the product.

 

Tile Flooring: Any realtor will tell you that tile flooring significantly increases a home’s resale value. The beauty of tile flooring lasts an extremely long time if it is properly maintained. Tile flooring is ageless especially when earth tones are used.

  • Durability:Porcelain flooring is very durable and  the tiles are difficult to crack. A quality installation can last for 10 to 20 years and even longer if well maintained.
  • Water Resistant:Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles have a non porous layer of liquid glass that sits on top of the tiles making them impervious to water and stain penetration. They are also naturally resistant to the ravages of high humidity conditions. These properties makes them ideal for use in wet environments like bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Tiles that are not glazed will need to be sealed in order to protect their surface from liquids.

Durability: Porcelain flooring is very durable and  the tiles are difficult to crack. A quality installation can last for 10 to 20 years and even longer if well maintained.

Water Resistant: Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles have a non porous layer of liquid glass that sits on top of the tiles making them impervious to water and stain penetration. They are also naturally resistant to the ravages of high humidity conditions. These properties makes them ideal for use in wet environments like bathrooms and kitchens.

Tiles that are not glazed will need to be sealed in order to protect their surface from liquids.

Maintenance: Tile is easy to care for. Dirt and stains rest on the tile surface making then easy to clean. Maintenance consists of wiping, sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to keep the tile free of dust and dirt. If a stain does occur use a non toxic cleaner and rub it until its removed.

Color Options: Porcelain tiles allow for a wider range of styles and colors.

Modern manufacturing allows tiles producers to make materials which can be printed in all types of ways. Tile can be printed to reproduce the look of a number of hardwoods and stones.

Pricing: Most tiles costs between $3.50 and $8 a square foot.

Allergies: “Porcelain and ceramic tiles are some of the best choices for allergy prevention. They’re easy to care for and dust accumulation is easy to spot and clean.”

The hard, flat surface of ceramic and porcelain tiles makes them a good choice for those with allergies. Tiles are easy to keep clean because dust mites, pollen and pet hair cannot penetrate their impervious texture. Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are highly water resistant. This makes them a good choice for bathrooms and kitchens, where steam and water may cause mold and mildew. Although ceramic and porcelain are well suited for those with allergies, not every type of tile is a great option. Some tile materials, such as natural stone, may be more porous than others. Dirt and dust may snag in the uneven crevices, making these types of flooring less effective.
