When you walk into the Good's Floor Storecarpet store in Decatur, IL, you'll be amazed at all the styles and fibers, not to mention all the in-stock remnants and rolls we carry. The best defense is to have a little knowledge so you can choose the right one for your needs. A rug, or any flooring for that matter, isn't something you buy often, but it is a major investment, so you want to get it to be right the first time. Broadloom refers to the rolls of carpet, as opposed to carpet tiles, remnants, or area rugs.
Everyone loves wood floors. It's a well-known fact that potential home buyers seek out and often pay more for a home with hardwood flooring. Like anything popular, there are some misconceptions and myths about this flooring, so we're presenting this guide to help sort it all out. As always, don't hesitate to contact us at Good's Floor Store if you have further questions. We're all familiar with solid hardwood, which is as it sounds: one thickness throughout. If you're concerned about water issues or want to install them in below-grade house levels, such as the basement, you may want to consider another version: engineered wood flooring.
Area rugs can define and divide a space, add an extra layer of design and provide the same function as any other carpet, including absorbing sound to provide soft falls. At Good's Floor Store, we have a large assortment of stock area rugs, but we also offer an in-house custom area rug binding service. That service, combined with our large inventory of carpet remnants, enables you to create your unique design. Before you even begin shopping, measure the room carefully while the furniture is still in it.
If you haven't been shopping for a new tile floor or backsplash recently, you may be surprised at the variety; we all know about ceramic and porcelain, but there are also ones made of glass, cement, metal, and stone, among others. Be mindful that not every type works for every application, so read the box carefully and check with your retailer. If you're looking for a tile store in Decatur, IL, consider us your one-stop source. Ceramics are the most common types found in every room in the home and installed as tile flooring, accent walls, backsplashes, or tub/shower surrounds.
Laminate floors answer many needs, including affordability, durability, high water resistance/waterproof, easy cleanability, and simple installation. Laminate wood flooring is popular, but you can also get it cut into square tile-sized pieces. Here is a description of the layers and their importance, starting at the bottom working our way up. Since laminate floors are often installed as a floating floor, which hovers, the underlayment supports and stabilizes the floor. Underlayments are strongly recommended, but if your laminate already has one pre-attached, you do not need to buy an additional one.
