Let’s talk LVT! Let’s Talk COREtec!

Posted on 15 Jul 2020 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!

2019 Take Notice Trends!

Posted on 7 Jan 20197 Jan 2019 by The Carpet House, Inc.

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!!

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!

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!

For the love of green!

Posted on 19 Jan 2018 by The Carpet House, Inc.

Experts have unquestionably agreed upon the 2018’s home decorating top trend! “Green”

2018 Paint Pick!

I love green! So this up and coming 2018 trend has me excited!

According to pinterest the hottest decorating paint color for 2018 is “Sage”

While grey tones are still popular the industry has seen a shift…..many customers wanting a muted alternative to grey. Such as Glidden’s “Prairie Sage” a beautiful color that is perfect for the whole house.

green sofas

Want to go bold?

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.

2018 “Pop of Color” trend!

pops of color This is such a fun trend because you don’t need a celebrity style budget to yield some pretty amazing results!

Pick a color: for my examples I will use “Green!”

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!

From stair runners to wall to wall flooring……a beautiful color can add touch of beauty to any home!

So when thinking a bit outside the box…..be bold and try a pop of color in your flooring.

You might be surprised how much you love it!

Out of the box floors that will either make you freak, faint or say “fabulous”!

Posted on 27 Aug 201528 Aug 2015 by The Carpet House, Inc.

An unusual floor to say the least but the calming effect is astounding!

Next we go from astounding to “ouch.” This DIY idea is different. Breaking up mirrors then pouring a clear epoxy over them followed up with a buff to finish the effect.

This DIY floor is for those looking to bring a unique touch of nature to a small space!

This stairway & entry is certainly not for the green DIY weekend warrior. Beautiful, elegant and awe inspiring, this custom flooring is one of my favorite!

Last but not least….”a penny for your thoughts?” This polished penny flooring has created quite the buzz!
Do you have a favorite? If so let us know!
