What is Cheap Flooring?

Cheap flooring has many different definitions, it is all in the eye of the beholder. For example, we here at The Floor Barn have a huge selection of cheap flooring, which to us means Low Cost flooring. Flooring that is of quality manufacturing by a brand name that you can trust, brand names that we have at discount prices compared to most other flooring retailers.

Then of course many people when they hear the word cheap flooring, they picture something that is not constructed well and will not last long, like cheap carpet for a low rent apartment. A word that is often thought of when people hear Cheap Flooring, is Seconds. Seconds are when the a flooring material could have a blemish yet is still functional. For example, say a laminate manufacturer is producing a specific laminate and on their production line a quality control worker sees that there is a small defect of some kind, like the photo image has small black spot where it is not supposed to be. They then take that plank and put it in a box, and they will do that with all their planks that do not meet 100% quality and then they turn around and box it and sell it at big discount to flooring retailers. This same process is common in all industries, like clothing.  So it is important that you ask your retail flooring system that you are not purchasing seconds if that is not what you are wanting. Some people  are ok with it because of the discount price they are getting.

So make sure you do your research before purchasing your new floors. It often is a big ticket investment and you do not want to make the wrong choice that you will likely have to live with for a long time.

If you live in the Dallas / Fort Worth area and are looking for some cheap flooring (discount prices on top quality brand name floors), stop by one of our showrooms or shop online at our website and we will be happy to help you find the right floor for your and your home.

Countertops are can be of a home owner’s biggest expenditures in their kitchen and bathrooms, and if chosen wisely can be one of the best investments you make for your home. Obviously a lot of your choice and selections will be depending on your budget for your kitchen or bathroom remodeling project. Here are type of countertops that Consumer reports recommends:

Number one choice is Quartz counter tops. One of the most popular quartz countertops is Silestone. This stone with man made additive provides with a stronger and less porous countertop than natural products. It provides you with the same look as granite with less maintenance, but obviously with a larger price tag.

Number two choice is Granite countertops Burleson TX.  Granite is a timeless look that is still extremely popular with homeowners. For many years, people thought it might be a fad that was soon to go out of style, but granite counters continue to buck the trend. They also are a much more affordable option to Quartz or Silestone and really does not take a lot of effort to reseal them on a annual basis.
