Luxury Vinyl Flooring is the fastest-growing type of flooring.

August 7, 2018 at 11:07 pm

The term “Luxury Vinyl” came about to describe a vinyl tile or plank floor as one that looks like wood or stone. Luxury vinyl plank  (LVP) is a wood-like plank. ( LVT) stands for Luxury Vinyl Tile and it looks like tile or natural stone. Technology has developed these looks to the point where it is difficult to tell if you are looking at a luxury vinyl plank floor or the real thing.  Luxury vinyl has a slightly softer surface than wood or tile floors. This surface provides more flexibility making it easier to stand on for long periods of time which is great for kitchens or game rooms. In addition most luxury vinyl is waterproof.

Deciding on planks or tiles?

Wood planks provides a warm feel, and is good for family rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms. Tile or stone tile works well in bathrooms, entryways, and laundry rooms.

Planks can be put down in staggered or random patterns, or diagonals. You can lay tiles in any fashion such as point-to-point or brick patterns. You can even use grout between luxury vinyl tiles to make the appearance or real tile.

Another option to consider is what size you want your luxury vinyl flooring plank or tile to be. Tiles are square or rectangular. Planks are rectangular and come in different length and width.

Installation:

Click-to-lock: The luxury vinyl flooring float above the subfloor with this installation method.  Click-to-lock flooring has grooves and tongues on its edges to allow for easy interlocking. You can walk on this installation as soon as you finish.

Glue-down: An adhesive is used  to attach the flooring to the subfloor,  grout can also be used for a tile look.

Loose lay: Has an anti-slip layer on the bottom of the flooring to help it stay in place on the subfloor. Installation is mess-free, and it can be easily removed and replaced.

Price:

With vinyl flooring you can save thousands without sacrificing style because the look is so realistic on the nicer luxury vinyl.  LVP is less expensive than tile or wood and the installation costs and time are significantly less as well.

Beware of bargain brands. They can scratch easily and may not be waterproof.  You get what you pay for.

Nicer vinyl flooring usually has some sort of rubber underlayment which makes it softer to walk on.  During  installation  you can put some sort of underlayment to make the floor feel even softer and quieter, and provide additional insulation.

Versatile:

Unlike wood vinyl flooring is great in bathrooms, basements and kitchens because it is water proof or water resistant. It will not discolor or rot and the floating variety is great for basements that could potentially flood.

Durable:

Vinyl flooring is perfect in busy households. It won’t scratch easily. Better vinyl flooring has through-body coloring. Which means if they scratch the damage is less visible.

Comfortable:

Vinyl feels soft underfoot. Vinyl absorbs pressure so it is nice to walk on.

For additional comfort, treat yourself to planks that feature added layers of padding or use an underlayment between the sub floor and the vinyl.

Insulated:

Vinyl flooring stays room temperature. In cold environments  your floors will feel warm and comfortable. Vinyl flooring also absorbs noise so it is a great choice for second stories and playrooms.

Maintenance:

It does not get any easier than vinyl flooring.  They clean-up in a matter of minutes with a static dust broom or mop.

What is the fourth of July?

July 3, 2018 at 8:02 pm

On the 4th July Americans will come together to mark Independence. The fourth of July marks when the US won independence from the British after the Revolutionary War.

What gives the Fourth of July its significance is that our Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress in 1776.  On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later on July 4th, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence.   It was drafted by Thomas Jefferson.  July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from parades and fireworks to family barbeques.

Avoid Mistakes Like These – What the Big Box stores do not want you to know

June 18, 2018 at 4:26 pm

Be cautious of the “Big Box” stores if you are wanting to get new carpet installed

Be cautious of the “Big Box” stores if you are wanting to get new carpet installed. They often have promotions where they advertise “Free Carpet Installation.” We all know nothing is free and they pay their subcontractors with their “free” install because the carpet is double what we would sell an equal carpet for, and their pad is also approximately double. If you hire Coventry not only will your install on equal carpet and padding be about 25% less.

  • Service is not their top priority. They advertise low prices and free installation but the reality is that the Big Boxes are more expensive than a company like Coventry Carpets when you compare what you are getting.
  • Big Box stores experience significant staff turn-over. Because of this, their designers are typically inexperienced. Inexperience in designing the best flooring for your home and needs will result in lackluster designs, mistakes, and delays for your Carpet and Luxury Vinyl Tile installation in Denver.
  • Big Box stores carry a smaller selection of carpeting and LVT. We provide a much larger variety of all types of quality carpeting and flooring.
  • When you buy your carpeting and flooring from Coventry you are dealing with one point of contact for everything. We do the layout, ordering and the install. If anything should go wrong, we guarantee to make it right at no cost to you.
  • Our mobile showroom allows our sales consultants to come directly to your home or business with samples and give you a free estimate, on your schedule and because of our low overhead and “WAREHOUSE” pricing we are able to pass the savings on to you. We also have a beautiful showroom that is by appointment only. Our Experienced people provide you with the additional factor needed for a unique design that works with your home and lifestyle. We can answer any questions you have about all types of flooring as it is all that we do.
  • Warranty on all their work and products. If the work is not guaranteed and you do not get a warranty on the products, what can you do if something goes wrong? Make sure you hire someone like Coventry Flooring who has been in business for years. We guarantee to make any issue you have right!
  • At Coventry Flooring our installers are employees, not subcontractors. Our installation crews are all insured and bonded. Most of our installation crews have over 30 years of carpet experience. They are reliable, honest, hardworking and pleasant to have in your home. Some notable installations that we have done are the “Brown Palace Hotel”, “Regis University” and “Steam Boat Grand hotel”.
  • When you are ready to have new carpet installed make sure you get the best quality carpet padding to go with it. The padding will help your carpet last longer and work better. Carpet padding density and thickness each help with carpet performance.

Coventry Carpets is a family-owned and operated referral-based company built on developing relationships with our customers by revolutionizing the way they experience flooring. Scot Johnson and Tom Burns created the company in response to over 40 years of combined service in the industry. They began with carpet and transformed it into not just a material but to a product that includes not only the carpet itself but also the installation of that carpet.
