Carpet

Soft. Warm. Comfortable under your toes. Carpet comes in an almost endless array of colors and styles for the look and feeling you want. Textures are plush, tailored, or patterned to bring out the personality of almost any room. Our Design Associate will help you review the best carpet options for your desired style and budget.

Here are some factors to consider when thinking about carpet:

Lifestyle Choice
Carpet is comfortable, soft, and warm underfoot
Sound absorbing fibers and proper padding mean quieter rooms, making carpet a popular choice for second-story hallways and bedrooms
Regular vacuuming and periodic shampooing greatly prolong the life of your carpet

Style Choice
Countless colors and textures allow carpet to fit into almost any décor
Dark, rich colors can draw a room in, creating a cozy feel
Lighter colored carpet opens up a room and can make it seem larger

Also consider that:
Carpet may be a challenge to keep clean if it is used in areas that are subject to stains and moisture, such as a laundry room
Carpet in strong, bold colors may limit your future options when repainting walls or changing furniture.

Hardwood Flooring

Sleek. Cozy. And anything in between. A luxurious look and a solid feel. The variety of species and finishes available make hardwood flooring as adaptable to your space as you need it to be. Our Design Associate can even design a custom hardwood flooring pattern that fits your room perfectly. Diagonal, herringbone, borders, and other patterns add interest to a room and take a hardwood floor from beautiful to extraordinary.

Lifestyle Choice
Hardwood flooring does not retain dust, pollen, and other allergens
Regular sweeping is generally all that is needed to keep hardwood floors looking great
Hardwood flooring is durable and can potentially last many lifetimes

Style Choice
Hardwood floors adds a warm, natural look to formal, relaxed, or modern looks – and almost every style in between
Wood flooring is available in a wide range of species, finishes, and widths to create specialized looks for almost any room

Also consider that:
Periodic refinishing and scuff/scratch repair may be required to keep hardwood flooring looking its best
Footsteps and ambient echoes can cause rooms with hardwood flooring to be noisy. Area rugs are often used to counter this effect
In general, wood flooring is not recommended for rooms or areas subject to water or moisture exposure.

Stone and Tile

Personalized. Unique. Adaptable enough for almost any space, ceramic tile and natural stone such as granite, slate, and marble are among the most versatile flooring materials available. A wide range of textures, colors, and tones provide a palette for almost endless design possibilities. Our Design Associate can create the perfect look for your home using natural stone or tile flooring in patterns ranging from simple lines to more elaborate options customized for each room.

Lifestyle Choice
The durability of stone and ceramic tile make them well-suited to high traffic areas
Ceramic or glass tile is especially popular in entryways, bathrooms, and kitchens
Stone and tile flooring can usually be cleaned using only a damp mop or sponge
Some stone flooring can be sealed for better stain resistance, depending on the specific material used.

Style Choice
Tile is available in a huge assortment of sizes, colors, patterns, and finishes
Grout color can be customized to match or contrast with your choice of tile
Accent tiles, mosaics, and pattern options are limited only by the imagination and give your home a unique look

Also consider that:
Some tile surfaces can be slick, especially when wet, while other types of tile provide greater traction.
Standing for long periods on a stone or tile floor can result in sore or tired feet
Tile does not retain heat well, so floors may feel cold to bare feet in winter

Specialty Flooring

For specialty flooring such as rubber, natural sisal, bamboo, glass inlay and more, look no further than Floor Coverings International. We've put together a collection of flooring with the latest materials and are ready to create a look that's perfect for you and your home.

Appearance and functionality are the hallmarks of specialty floors. For example, rubber flooring is durable and comfortable to stand on, comes in a variety of colors, and because it's easy to clean it can be a great choice for kitchens, laundry rooms, and workshops. Sisal, coir, and seagrass flooring are available in an array of textures, colors, and patterns, offering design flexibility with a natural look and easy care.

We're always adding new specialty flooring products to our selection, and our Design Associate can show you the latest and greatest for a look limited only by the imagination.

Eco-Flooring Options

Green is more than a fashion color. Eco-friendly flooring has become more popular than ever amid growing concerns about resources, manufacturing processes, and sustainability issues. Floor Coverings International offers a selection of environmentally friendly flooring options including renewable/sustainable hardwood products, natural linoleum, cork, bamboo, and more.

Recyclable carpet is another option that is not only manufactured using recycled materials, it can be recycled to make new carpet again and again. Therefore the useful life of recyclable carpet goes beyond its time in your home and doesn't end up in a landfill. Ask your Design Associate about the wide range of colors, textures, and styles available.

Cork and bamboo flooring are fast-growing, readily renewable plant materials and are beautiful alternatives to standard flooring material. Cork flooring is warm and resilient, available in neutrals and bold colors, and can be sealed for extra water resistance. Durable bamboo flooring gives a sleek, stylish look to almost any room, is available in a variety of colors, and can be harder than many hardwood species.

At Floor Coverings International our eco-friendly options are designed to look beautiful and treat the Earth's resources responsibly. Our Design Associates will be happy to show you how these floors can transform a room or an entire home with their spectacular looks.
