What To Consider When Replacing Carpeting In An Office

April 25, 2012 by

Nothing can change up a room and make it fresh and new like new carpet. It can give your business a new look and feel, and not only make your clients look at you a bit differently, it can give you motivation to try new projects as well.

Yet making the decision to have it replaced is the easy part. Once your landlord gives the approval, where do you go from there?

Start by evaluating your needs.

Do you run a high traffic business, or it it just you and the office staff? Do you deal with chemicals and liquid materials that risk destroying carpets quickly? Are you out to impress, or simply want functionality? Make a list of you needs. Then talk with with a flooring consultant and find out what flooring will best work for your business.

Work out a plan that works for everyone

Find out how long it will take to replace the flooring. Replacing carpets may be easier and less time consuming than adding in new hardwoods. Also plan on replacing it during a slow or easy time for all occupants. Desks are easy to move. Wall to wall filing cabinets aren’t. Its important to give yourself plenty of time for moving and rearranging, both before and after the replacement. [Read more…]

Ceramic tile is a durable and beautiful addition to any home. It is available in a large assortment of colors and styles – as a homeowner, you are sure to find at least one style/color you adore.

How To Avoid Water Damage To Your Floors

March 23, 2012 by

Flooring throughout your home must be durable and stand up to a lot of abuse. Bathroom flooring is constantly subjected to water and humidity. Kitchen flooring must take daily wear and and the occasional spill. And hallways must sustain constant traffic flow, plus handle the dumping ground for shoes and boots.

And one of the most common occurrences every year that can cause irreparable damage to your floors is the family Christmas tree. Depending on the size of the tree, it may require several cups of water each day. And if the stand is off just a bit, or the family dog bumps the tree on a regular basis, a great majority of that water may seep into your flooring. And if its there for an entire month, you may face damage and mold issues, with replacement as your only option.

When selecting flooring for different areas of your home, your first consideration should be the type of traffic you expect to encounter. Entryways and high traffic areas will always be problem areas if you select the wrong type of flooring. Look for options that are durable and easy to clean. [Read more…]
