Carpet Broadloom to Modular |
Carpet is made in three general constructions: plush, loop, and combined cut-loop.
Most yarns are made of a variety of chemicals: Nylon, Polyester, Olefin,and blends
(new advancements). Wool yarn is also available. The backings on carpets have new
technology that offer improved benefits. Patterns are the new trend, some subtle,
some bold. Do not buy based upon factory warranty claims. They are “limited warranties”
where many real-life problems will not qualify ! |

Ceramic & Stone Tile Flooring Walls Counters Showers |
Being in the South-west and having concrete subfloors, the most purchased
hard surface has been ceramic tile. With newer computer controlled manufacturing,
the styles and colors are now super realistic. The categories vary greatly:
glazed ,unglazed, polished, standard clay body, porcelain body.
From the floor to up the walls, indoor to outdoor, home to commercial grades-
and more, Chuck will recommend what style, quality and color that you might
choose to install on your floors, counters, shower, fireplace or wherever!
Remember, your subfloor needs special attention or the new installation will fail. |

Wood
Flooring Laminate & Real |
Even though few Arizonans will select wood as their new flooring,
those who do will be hearing the raves about that beautiful wood floor!
Care MUST be taken to know the correct wood product and its proper installation system! Varieties: Real (solid ¾” thick) wood, engineered real wood ( layers in plies with the top as the species and stain). It can be either Pre-finished or Job-site sanded and stained. And the newer style, called Laminate, are “pictures” adhered to a wood core and finished with a thick protective top layer. They look like real wood and cost ½ of real products. Care must be taken to protect all wood flooring from heavy furniture, appliances etc. The MOST important variable (other than stain and species) is moisture! We must protect this wood investment with a proper moisture barrier under your new floor. |

Vinyl Sheet & Squares |
This category has been on the “downtrend” where ceramic tile and wood can be a
better solution for your floor. The reality is -that for equal monies- real is far better than imitation.
Most sheet vinyl products are used for short term flooring [ less than 5 yrs]. |
