Boy has vinyl discount flooring come a long way since the 1950’s. In fact, don’t even think about the vinyl flooring in the house you grew up in. Vinyl is no longer that plastic looking, shiny ripped and pitted floor you had to live with. Thanks to advances in technology, today’s vinyl flooring comes in an array and assortment to please even the most discriminating tastes. Vinyl has joined tile and discount laminate flooring in offering an ideal flooring solution for less money with an endless selection of patterns, colors and configurations to choose from. If natural stone is the look you desire, there is a vinyl product for you. If your preference is slate, look no further than vinyl.
Vinyl can fit into any budget. Compared to natural stone and ceramic/porcelain tile, vinyl feels plush. Vinyl of the past was laid only in kitchens and baths. Today vinyl can be laid in any room including a great room. Vinyl is a great alternative if you have an active household as it offers easy maintenance and is stain resistant and resistant to scratching. Of course as with any flooring there are exceptions so keep those stiletto heels off any hard surface flooring! Along this line vinyl is offered in a selection of gloss (shininess). The less gloss, the easier it is to maintain on a daily basis from normal foot traffic. The same general rules of decorating apply to vinyl as any other hard surface; lighter cheap flooring will make a smaller room appear larger while darker floor covering will create an intimate setting and absorb the light. Whatever your choice and budget, today’s vinyl is worthy of consideration.

You have decided what type of discount carpet to put in your home and now you must decide on carpet padding that goes underneath the carpet. Carpet padding can also be referred to as carpet cushion depending on the area of the country you are purchasing your flooring. Carpet padding is so important because it determines how the carpet feels when you walk on it. Padding absorbs foot traffic making cheap carpet feel better. Carpet padding can significantly improve a carpet’s sound absorption thus providing even better acoustics than carpet alone. It also aids along with carpet in keeping a room at room temperature. There are many different types of padding manufactured today. Included are types that have an odor guard, help block moisture and help fight stains. Proper cushioning can help extend the life and look of your carpet by being the barrier between the sub-floor and the carpet and providing airspace under the carpet.
In fact padding helps keep your carpet clean. By providing the barrier and keeping the discount carpet off the sub-floor, the carpet is allowed to “breathe”. Every time you vacuum that airspace allows for the dirt to be brought to the vacuum. It is a very efficient way of keeping carpet clean!!
There are different types of carpet padding which will be the subject of a future blog. Consult your carpet dealer to help determine which is the best carpet padding for the carpet you choose and the lifestyle you lead.

Why carpet? This question gets asked a lot. With so many discount flooring options available why indeed choose carpet? One answer is to definitely have carpet in the bedrooms. I have recently had two friends have two very different accidents in their bedrooms. The first has tile in her bedroom as she has four dogs. She got up in the middle of the night, tripped and went head first down onto the tile suffering a concussions and multiple bruising. In fact, she looked like she went 10 rounds with Tyson. Another friend has discount hardwood flooring with an area rug in her bedroom. She tripped on the area rug, fell on the hardwood flooring and suffered damage to her knee, so bad that she had to spend a few weeks in rehab. Carpeting in the bedroom is in fact preferable for the very reasons stated above. It is also a built in acoustic system enabling better conversation. While hardwood flooring, discount laminate flooring, ceramic/porcelain and natural stone tile all have their places in kitchens and baths, the bedroom areas offer residents and guests much better protection with carpeting. Today there is such a vast array of carpet design and colors for all tastes and price points. Padding offerings are far greater and superior then in the past. You can’t go wrong with carpet.
