3 Things To Consider Buying Flooring

Finding a new floor can be a daunting task. There are thousands of types, sub-types, materials, adhesives, finishes, and an infinite amount of customization that can be made on top of everything else you have to figure out. Fortunately, when you choose The Garrison Collection, it doesn’t need to be that hard. Our excellent sales representatives are experts on all things floors; if you have a question, they can answer!

#1: What kind of flooring best fits your needs?

Do you want hardwood, vinyl, laminate, or something else entirely? Everyone’s situation and specific needs are always different. Do you have cats? Dogs? Kids? Baby elephants? Depending on your living situation, it might be better for you to have one type over another. Be sure to tell your Authorized Garrison Collection Dealer everything they should know about how the floor is going to be used. By doing so, they will make sure you find exactly the floor you need!

#2: Does it fit your home’s style?

Not everyone is an interior designer, and that is okay! When it comes to your home’s floor, however, you have almost unlimited potential to impress. Why not make the most of it? One of the most common comments we hear from past Garrison customers is:

The first thing people see when they enter my home is my floors. They walk in, and immediately compliment how beautiful they look!

We hear stories like this all the time, and are thrilled that our floors are being used in amazing projects around the globe.

Are you not sure about which floor would look best in your home? Are you deciding between Oak, Walnut, Hickory, Birch, or the plethora of other natural wood floors that are out there? Feel free to take a few pictures, and show them to your representative. Many of them have a lifetime of experience in this exact area, and love getting in touch with their inner designer to help a friend in need.

#3: Care & Maintenance

Your brand new wood floors look great now, but what about in a year? Two years? Twenty years?

The key to keeping your wood, laminate, or vinyl floors looking new is proper maintenance. For some reason, that concept is scary for some people. We can assure you, maintaining your floor is easy! Really – it isn’t much different than what you are currently doing today.

Step one – Keep your floors clean. You don’t need to be obsessive, but make sure you sweep regularly. Don’t let too much dirt build up on the floor. Not only is it unsanitary, it can also cause damage to the floor. Some people also choose to vacuum their floors. This works, but be sure to follow the guidelines mentioned on this page. You wouldn’t want to unintentionally damage your floor in the process!

Step two – Use our recommended products for regular cleaning and care. A list of products with our stamp of approval, as well as additional tips for maintaining your Garrison Flooring can be found here.
