Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a plank looking product that can be made  to look like wood or tile and it is very life like. That is why it is the fastest growing product in the flooring industry. LVT has only been around for about 8 years.

It is much more versatile than laminate. It is great for kitchens and bathrooms were water can be an issue.

Laminate is plastic that was introduced 25 years ago.   Laminate typically has a wood core so it is not great in the bathroom or kitchen where it could get wet and can expand.

Price is similar for either one $1.50 to $4 a foot.

Coventry Flooring installs LVT and carpet.  We are cash and carry for laminate products.

Pricing is by square foot and will depend on lots of issues based on what your actual floor is like.  We will come out and do an estimate for you to see what your job would involve.

Give us a call today and schedule an appointment with our mobile  or regular showroom.  We will come out to your home with samples or you can come to our location by 8th and I-25.

Buying a home? You may want to replace carpeting and other flooring before you move in.

April 8, 2017 at 3:48 pm

You will want to figure out what style and types of carpet and other flooring go well in the new home.  There are several things you should ask yourself before the close of your home:

  • Flooring When are you closing on the home? You will need time to order materials and have them installed before you move in.  It typically takes about 2 weeks to order the carpet if it is not in stock.  We are usually 2 weeks out on our installs so It is best to give yourself 2 to 3 weeks before we get in the home and several more days for the install of you are carpeting most of the home.
  • When can you get into the home so that measurements can be made for the carpeting and other flooring.
  • We will bring carpet samples to the house for you to see how the different types of carpet look with the paint, hardwoods, tile, and cabinets in the new home. This way we can order the carpet and you will know the costs involved.
  • Do you have children and or pets? This will affect the type of carpet you will want to have installed.
  • Coventry can typically do all the measurements in under an hour including showing the carpet samples to you in each room.
  • Most people prefer to carpet prior to moving in so they do not have to move furniture twice.
  • If you are thinking about tile or other types of flooring we suggest meeting us at our showroom to see the samples we have as our mobile showroom is just for carpeting.  We sell all other flooring as cash and carry. We do not install the other types of flooring. We have several contractors we can recommend but currently most are booked out a month or so. If there is a lot of tile it could take them over a week to do the install so you will need to factor this in if you want them to finish the job before you move in.  If you hire someone to do the other flooring they will typically pick it up for you with a truck.

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.
