While the economy is getting stronger, today’s cost conscious consumer is more demanding than ever when it comes to getting value for money with flooring.  This desire for value is driving current trends.

“There’s definitely been a shift from spending to savings,” says Chris Davis, the president and CEO of the World Floor Covering Association. “But that doesn’t mean consumers aren’t buying flooring: it means they’re looking for value and comfort. They might not be moving up right now, but they’re still into feathering the nest.”

And it seems that flooring manufactures are getting the message loud and clear.  They have been reining in some of the high end marketing and concentrating on sensible, low-maintenance products that are easy on the budget.  They are providing tremendous value, especially in the areas of vinyl and carpet.

Vinyl has become a tremendous growth area, mostly due to the extreme innovation that has been introduced in the industry over recent years.  Gone are the days of only a handful of colors and limited styles.  We have now welcomed in the days of ‘anything’ goes!

Vinyl comes in many shapes and sizes, textures and thicknesses.  It now emulates everything from bamboo and wood grain to porcelain and stone.

Carpet has always come in a wide range of styles, colors and varieties.  However, there has been an increase in the choices available on all levels, ensuring that there is just the right choice for your home.

If you have questions about what flooring choices are best for you and your family, please come and visit us in our showroom at 451 Park Avenue in Scotch Plains, New Jersey.  We look forward to serving you!
