Are you overwhelmed by the many types of carpet? All you want is the right one for your room-one that is durable, beautiful and in your budget, right? Shopping for carpeting can be overwhelming but the professionals at a wholesale flooring warehouse can really help you.

To start your carpet shopping it is important to know what type of pile you want when you are selecting carpet.  Pile is the height of carpet. Your wholesale flooring store will have plenty of examples of pile types but the main types are low-pile, high-pile and cut-and-loop pile. 

If you want a durable carpet that can handle high traffic areas, you will want to look at a low-pile carpet. They are not as plush or as thick as other types of carpet but they are perfect for busy areas of a home like a hallway. 

If you want a luxurious looking plush carpet, high-pile is for you.  It is thick and feels cushiony under your foot.  This type of carpet is perfect for a bedroom.  This rich carpet looks great in bright colors or warm neutrals.

Now if you are looking for something with style, you should ask about cut-and-pile carpets.  They have great visual appeal and style.  Cut-and-pile carpet isn’t as thick as high-pile carpet but it comes in many textures and patterns that can really add to the design of any room.

If you are looking to give your back & feet a break, we have a suggestion. Cork it! Choose cork flooring and your feet and back will thank you and so will the rest of you! Cork is hypo allergenic and doesn’t attract dust which helps with allergies. It is non-absorbent and won’t trap dirt or yucky fungus.   Bugs don’t like cork-including termites. Cork is also fire retardant and reduces noise. 

Cork has a lot of benefits beyond the healthy ones.  It is a renewable resource. Cork is easily maintained and works great in any room including the bathroom or kitchen. Cork is durable and can handle heavy traffic easily.  Cork is a floating floor that can be easily installed without the use of glue or special tools. 

Cork is a superhero in the flooring world especially if you are suffering from a bad back or chronically aching feet.  Choose cork and feel like you are walking on air! Visit ProSource of Pinellas County today and check out the amazing benefits of cork for yourself.

If you are in the market for new carpet you have probably asked this question a few times.  What is the deal with carpet padding?  Why do you need it? Can’t you just use the old pad?

What is the purpose of carpet pad? Carpet padding helps promote the life of your carpet.   Proper carpet padding absorbs the weight of those who walk on it and keeps the pile from flattening and looking worn.  Carpet pad also protects the back of the carpet because without padding the carpet backing would rub against the floor with each step and then wear out from the bottom up. Carpet pad also makes walking on your carpet much more comfortable which is usually the most important feature to the homeowner.

Carpet padding also helps in the maintenance of your carpet.  Your vacuum cleaner works better with carpet pad as it promotes better air circulation by lifting the carpet.  Padding can also reduce noise and insulate your floors. 

If the carpet you are replacing was not overly worn or destroyed by pets or moisture you may not always need to change your carpet pad however, most manufacturer warranties will be void without a new carpet pad.  Ideally when you purchase a new carpet you should purchase the recommended carpet pad to fulfill the warranty and increase the life of your carpet.

ProSource of Pinellas County sells not only beautiful carpet but an excellent selection of carpet pad to make your carpet feel more comfortable and extend its life.  Our Account Managers are always available to explain the differences in padding and what type you will need for your carpet.

Why should you seal your grout? Grout sealing is done to strengthen the grout’s defenses against dirt, stains, and erosion.  Since grout is porous, sealing your grout will add a defensive coating that will help keep it looking great. 

 Did you know that grout needs time to cure? Your tile flooring installer may not seal the grout immediately after it has been installed. Be sure to either make a follow up appointment or if you are a do-it-yourselfer, get instructions from the manufacturer on the best time and manner to seal your grout.

If you are wondering whether or not your grout has been sealed or needs re-sealing, you can sometimes tell by putting a few drops of water on the grout or tile.  If the droplets get darker or change color, the grout probably has not been sealed.  You need to refer to your tile and grout manufacturer’s guidelines in sealing grout or tile  

Sealing your grout will keep your tile floors looking beautiful for a long time.  ProSource of Pinellas County carries an extensive line of quality grouts for our Members and their clients.  Visit the showroom today and view the enormous selection of fine-looking porcelain, ceramic, glass tiles, natural stone and travertine tile.
