Something many people experience after new flooring is installed is a “funny” feeling when walking. Whether your floors feel a little soft or hard. Make unexpected sounds when you walk. Feel just a little different than what you’re used to. Or smell like new carpet. If you’ve never walked on a floor after it’s been […]

Floor texture after years of traffic will typically be from a combination of expected wear and care techniques. Factors like dirt, foot traffic, moisture, sunlight, dragging furniture, and cleaners will alter appearance.

That is why the role of flooring in heat distribution throughout a home should be something you pay closer attention to than most people do. Flooring can affect how well heat naturally rises through the floor, how long your floors […]

Your house can look gorgeous and feel anything but cosy if your flooring just doesn’t cut it. Spending all day at the kitchen prep station, walking through high-traffic hallways, or standing for hours as a part of your daily life are activities that can amplify even subtle comfort differences from one flooring option to the […]

Agents consider more than square footage, layout or location when valuing a property. They are also assessing the condition of your home, and flooring can have a much larger impact on that than most sellers appreciate. Scratched wood floors, worn carpet, mismatched finishes, or dated-looking floors can all negatively influence a room before anyone even […]
