Hardwood flooring is truly one of the best investments you can make to your property. So Why Go CHEAP? There are so many cheap hardwood flooring deals out there. There is always a reason the hardwood floor deal is cheap. Your job is to know why. The investment of your property is too important not to paid attention to what you are getting.

There can be many reason a hardwood flooring would be cheap. Here is a list to ponder.

#1 The hardwood flooring is Cheap therefore the price is cheap.

#2 Maybe the offer is just a gimmick to get you to come to a particular store. (While supplies last deal but none is really available)

#3 Off goods or seconds grade product. (make sure you understand the defect)

#4 Discountiue hardwood lines (Sometimes this is a good reason, but buy extra. You can get in trouble if not.)

#5 The type of wood and how much of real wood you are getting.

#6 Where the wood is harvested from.

#7 The quality of the finish on the hardwood floors.

#8 How well the milling is on the planks of hardwood flooring.

There really are many things to consider when making a investment in hardwood flooring. I would be careful to let price be your main focus when buying your hardwood floors. A quality hardwood flooring should last the life of you home. So it is important to purchase something you will like, plus something you will not have to worry with later on. Most cases you will always get a return on your investment when you buy hardwood floors. So with that in mind, pinching pennies too much could cost you in the long run.

Wilmington North Carolina has some low laying areas that can be troublesome to certain types of floor covering. We serve Wrightsville Beach N.C., Carolina Beach N.C., Figure eight Island, Topsoil Beach N.C., Ocean Isle, N.C.,Oak Island, NC., Cashwell Beach, N.C. and many more coastal areas. All of these area are prone to flooding. This is why it is good to know the pros and cons of the different floor covering choices available.

There are many things to consider when putting flooring in a downstairs area at the beach or in a area likely to flood. Sometime it is simply cost. Often people will put in a low cost carpet with the gamble of getting enough uses before the inedible happens. There are floors that will not be very effected by a flood. Many people put in ceramic tile or natural stone when installing flooring in the downstairs of a beach home. Ceramic tile and natural stone can be simply washed up after the storm.

Many people don?t want the ceramic tile or natural stone due to how hard and cold this floor covering is. A solution is to put down some economical area rugs or the bind up some carpet remnants. Now there is even more waterproof flooring choices other than ceramic tile. Hardwood flooring is a no no due to a certainty that it will eventually fail. You can get a realist hardwood flooring look with the new LVT vinyl planks that look like wood planks. Although most Luxury Vinyl Tile and Planks are pretty much a water proof, most of them are installed with a pressure sensitive glue which is not water proof. Mannington Flooring has come out with the first click lock LVT product. This is a glue-less product and is a excellent choice for the downstairs beach areas.

Most people think of the plastic looking grass when you talk about indoor outdoor carpeting. Now there are some real style when it comes to indoor outdoor carpet. Stanton Carpets makes a sisal look that fits our coastal area very well. These carpets are designed to get wet. So when the floods come, no problem.

Commercial carpet tiles often times are worth the upgrade and then some. It seem that most people when looking for a commercial carpet for their place of business, they all seem to gravitate to the standard cheap carpet. The standard cheap carpet is fine for many flooring application and it just may make the most sense for your job. We believe that most people overlook the value that commercial carpet tiles can offer. Commercial carpet tiles can easily last twice as long as some of the traditional broadloom carpeting.

Many people will say that I am just renting this commercial space. I don?t want to put the investment into someone else s property. Most people don?t realize that the commercial carpet tiles are installed with a pressure sensitive adhesive and can be taken up and reuses in another job elsewhere. That detail along is worth the extra upgrade cost. The long term savings will be cheaper than buying the standard cheap carpet.

There are many more pros to using a commercial carpet tile over the standard broadloom carpet. You can capture a unique look with the commercial carpet tiles by rotating the direction you install the carpet tile. This sometime will help distract the eye to traffic patterns and showing spills and stains. Speaking of traffic patterns and spills and stains the commercial carpet tile has some real advantages. The commercial carpet tiles can be rotated and moved around to shift the traffic pattern. As for a bad stain or damaged area in your carpet, NO PROBLEM with the commercial carpet tiles. Just take up the stained or damaged tile and put another one in place. On the other hand with the regular broadloom carpets, good luck. You have to live with the bad area or put in a noticeable patch.
