  1. 7 Noteworthy Maintenance Tips for Luxury Vinyl

    7 Noteworthy Maintenance Tips for Luxury Vinyl

    Any flooring material requires cleaning and maintenance on a regular basis. Regular care lengthens the life of your floor, guarantees that warranties will be honored, and keeps the surface looking its best. Once the floor is in use, dirt, stains, scratches, and tears are inevitable. The longer the time between cleanings and repairs, the worse the problem becomes.

    How Much Are You Willing To Do?
    How will the room be used? Does the family spend considerable time walking in and out of the room from the outdoors?. Is the furniture moveable?

    How to Measure Quality in Your Search for Vinyl Floor

    Ask ten people how they measure quality in Vinyl flooring, and you will get ten different answers. The problem with defining quality is that it is related to a personal point of view. Too often, the product marketer establishes the solution and not the individual user.

    We operate on the assumption that “Quality is Conformance to Requirements.” Your requirements. That simple.

    What is your lifestyle? Do you have Children? Pets? Are you preparing your house to sell? Are you a person that eats while standing in the kitchen or do you prefer to sit at the dining room table? How often do you entertain on your floor? What type of entertainment? Just remember, you will be living with your floor every day. What are the top three requirements that you have to meet to be happy? Now, prioritize and measure these items against your budget.
