Let’s talk LVT! Let’s Talk COREtec!

Posted on by The Carpet House, Inc.

COREtec is the original!

COREtec is the original floor that created the LVT category with its patented WPC core technology that was the first 100% waterproof, kidproof, petproof floor. COREtec is available in over 100 realistic wood looks, in a variety of sizes. Styling innovations such as Embossed In Register technology and enhanced bevels add to the beauty while an attached cork backing makes these floors warmer, quieter and softer underfoot. COREtec floors are GREENGUARD GOLD certified for indoor air quality and backedby a lifetime limited residential warranty.

Simple, elegant and easy to clean!

Coretec Oneplus is regularly $5.69.

Currently on sale for $ 3.99 sf.

Coretec Plus in on Sale for $4.29 sf

COREtec Plus floors are 100% waterproof, and can be installed in wet areas without swelling or warping when exposed to water. These floors do not require acclimation and can be floated over most existing hard floor surfaces or substrate without the unwanted telegraphing common in other locking or glue-down LVP products.

Coretec Plux XL is on sale for $5.79 sf

 COREtec Plus XL LVT is inert and dimensionally stable, which means it won’t change size due to heat or humidity under normal conditions and never needs expansion strips in large rooms. An attached cork underlayment results in a quieter, warmer vinyl floor that is naturally resistant to odor causing mold and mildew. COREtec Plus XL is also GREENGUARD GOLD Certified for Indoor Air Quality. That is a huge win, win!

Stop in our showroom located on historic downtown Morrison to see our selection of COREtec LVT flooring!

Posted on by The Carpet House, Inc.

20192.jpg

2019 has a lot going for it!

So we thought it would be fun to give you our top 5 trends that make 2019 the year  for new flooring!!

 

made in the usa.jpg

 

Take Notice Trend #1: BUY U.S.A. MADE!

Did you know?

Our Carpeting is made right here in the U.S.A.!

That is probably why carpeting is still the #1 choice for flooring!

Our Tarkett Permastone Line is made in Florence, Alabama

(read more about it here)

Take Notice Trend #2: Smooth is classic but 2019 is all about TEXTURE!!

From wire brushed, distressed and hand-scraped…..texture is where it is at!

Beautiful Tarkett Laminate in a distressed or hand-scraped look is definitely the trend for this year or maybe you’re looking for hardwood?

Well, we have you covered!

Check out Anderson Hardwood’s Colonial Manor – beautiful and durable.

 

Take Notice Trend #3 – Coastal Decor!

coastal trends.jpg

One color that is taking 2019 in waves is green!

From Aegean Teal to Fort Pierce Green…..These soft coastal colors can add a splash!

Keep it simple! From a simple throw blanket to some soft green pillows….the coastal trend is an easy way to update any space!

Looking for inspiration? Check out The Creativity Exchange for ideas!

 

 

 

 

Take Notice Trend #4 – Herringbone!

LVT reigned supreme in 2018 and while this excellent product is still going strong in 2019….the idea of laying has been tweaked a bit!

And if vinyl flooring is more your style – especially since it is so easy to clean and incredibly affordable – IVC has some amazing Herringbone Styles to choose from!

Oooo….how about an updated back splash in a beautiful Herringbone Pattern?

 

Take Notice Trend #5 – Eco Friendly Flooring!

Farmhouse Bathroom Flooring That WOWS!

Posted on by The Carpet House, Inc.

farmhouse.jpg

Last week, we had the privilege of doing work on a historical and delightful farmhouse.

 

Established in 1876, this dairy farm was quite the operation back in it’s heyday!

Complete with a spectacular barn and numerous outbuildings.

 

 

 

We thought a peak at the amazing flooring the owners chose to install in the guest bathroom would be just the thing to brighten an already beautiful weekend!

Beautiful Vinyl Planking in a wide board!

This durable LVT comes in a high variance which adds to it’s charm and elegant look.

Woodstone LVP is $3.49 sf

We are offering this beautiful Vinyl Planking at a special price of $3.19 sf through October 31, 2018!

The Carpet House, Inc. is located on historical Main Street in Morrison, Il.

Rustic Bathrooms worth Loving!

Posted on by The Carpet House, Inc.

‘Farmhouse Rustic’ is a trend that many believe took the place of the early 2000’s ‘Shabby Chic’ explosion. The idea of Upcycling the old into new is certainly at the heart of the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style. While the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style can aptly be used in every room of your house, Fireplaces and Bathroom seem to highlight the strengths of this decorating trend.

Insidecorate is a great website highlighting the Farmhouse Rustic style! If you are looking for inspiration and have a time on your hands….pop on over to their website.

 

Short on time? We took our favorite five “Farmhouse Rustic Bathrooms” and featured them below. Enjoy!

11-Farmhouse-Rustic-Master-Bathroom-Remodel-Ideas

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #1:

This rustic theme features a galvanized water trough up-cycled into a Bathtub as it’s centerpiece. With a soft and elegant white on white color scheme, the touches of green and browns create a touch of perfection!

50-Farmhouse-Rustic-Master-Bathroom-Remodel-Ideas.jpg

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #2

True to the roots of the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style: this up-cycled distressed dresser is gorgeous! The hammered brushed nickel sinks add the ‘Wow’ factor that is well worth copying and can we just say the light fixtures are amazing.  What a wonderful example to up-cycling!!

61-Farmhouse-Rustic-Master-Bathroom-Remodel-Ideas.jpg

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #3

Beautiful rustic subway tile in a classic white and grey look complements the wood grain tile of the floor. The simple white and grey color scheme is indicative of the ‘Rustic Farmhouse’ style and brilliantly featured by this beautiful bathroom!

30-Farmhouse-Rustic-Master-Bathroom-Remodel-Ideas.jpg

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #4

The contrast between Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #3 and #4 is exactly why so many people are drawn to this decorating style. This style can be interpreted so many ways. This beautiful bathroom features rustic barn board ceramic on the walls that harmonizes well with the brick pattern on the shower floor. The custom stone bench and glass shower doors are a the perfect blend of function and beauty.

25-Farmhouse-Rustic-Master-Bathroom-Remodel-Ideas.jpg
Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #5

Soft grey shiplap walls are complimented by the natural wood vanity delicately topped with a bright white farmhouse style sink create a bathroom masterpiece. The stencil ceramic tile floor add just the right of pop and creativity to this Farmhouse Rustic bathroom.

Velvet sofa’s are a beautiful new trend for 2018 and why not stick with “Green!”

These affordable green velvet sofas add a pop of color and really bring life to any room. From the formal living room to a bedroom loveseat….you can find any style to find any room.

Pick your Pop: Throw pillows, vintage candle sticks, vases, blown glass, plants, fruit bowls, etc.  plants

 

Last but not least, adding a pop of color to your flooring!
