The carpet tiles made by Milliken are really a very nice frieze styled look, but in an easy to install tile format. The padding is already attached thereby making this a super simple installation. Although this is not appropriate for stairs it can be used effectively to create patterns or simply offer you a high quality carpet with a simple installation method. Do not confuse these HIGH quality products with some of the stuff you see at home centers. They are not the same and will not perform the same.
Check out the carpet tiles if you have that area that needs a little love, but you want it to be a soft flooring and easy install!
With the cost of gas prices these days isn't time you did your shopping online and let the product come to you rather than having to spend all of your time driving from store to store and shopping 'till you drop?
In our case, shipping is a big deal. Not only does it weigh
a lot, but it takes up a lot of cubic footage. Then you have the man-power,
fluctuating gas prices, logistics and ... ugh. Let's just say it would be much
easier for us if you came to get it, but it's not about what's easy for us.
When we started iFLOOR, affordable shipping was one of our
biggest hurdles. Sure, we could save you 20 to 50%, but the savings were a
little offset by the additional cost to ship. Our customers still came out
ahead, but not as much as we had hoped.
As time went on, our volume grew, we leveraged our buying
power for quantitative shipping discounts,and before we knew it, we could offer $49 shipping (which is exactly
what we're doing this week!) For only $49, we will deliver your floor to your doorstep. So now you'll get the best price on the perfect flooring
and have it sent to you for less than the cost of a tank of gas (and if you
drive an suv, less than a half tank.)
How can we do it? Sorry, it's a
trade secret. The ever watchful competitor would love to figure it out, believe
me. There are only a couple of exclusions: It's on minimum orders of $1,200 or
more, your order must be shipped within the 48 contiguous US states and
of course Clearance/Odd lot items are excluded.
This sale ends Friday, but I'd
urge you not to wait until the last day. Despite a lagging economy, our
inventory has been flying out the door and I'd hate you to miss out on the
right floor because we're sold out of a particular item. The sale is limited to
available inventory, so snap it up if you like it!
It is very normal for people to feel apprehensive about a big purchase. Buying flooring for example is marked by 4 distinct stages.
So when you find a company online or even in your own neighborhood you still have natural nervousness. But I can tell you we understand that process and we feel your pain (to use a Clintonism). But seriously our aim is to help you through the otherwise frustrating process.
One of our customers in New York had those feelings, but at the end of the day TEAM BROOKLYN shined and carried the day. Kudos to Tim and the gang for living up to the promise to serve:
================================
FROM OUR CUSTOMER:
I took a chance with iFloor and spoke with Mr. Timothy Anderson and it paid off. I was able to order my flooring with no inconvenience; delivery was completed expeditiously; and installation of the wood product was very professional. In short, I highly recommend iFloor for any flooring project.

================================
Take a chance on iFLOOR - we have served nearly 1 million customers since we began in business. Most flooring companies won't ever see 10,000 customers in 40 years let alone our massive numbers. We get it. We ain't perfect, but we aspire to be!
I must say, there is certainly a lot of gloom and doom going around these days. Banks failing, insurance companies running out of money, the sky may be the next thing to fall if you believe what you hear on the news. But naturally being a "focus on the positive" type(lemons are to make lemonade afterall), I find there are actually a lot of positives on which to focus right now.
Here's one example: I've never quite seen market conditions create such a favorable position for our customers. The fact is that a lot of companies out there are struggling because demand for their product has dropped (mainly due to a struggling housing industry) and they can be a little more flexible when it comes to price than they normally would be. So if you happen to be a global multi-channel retailer (such as iFLOOR,) you get a lot of calls from these companies who are looking to move their inventory on a large scale. After all, one call to iFLOOR can sell more flooring than two hundred calls to other retailers, so it makes sense that my phone is constantly ringing!
And when you're willing to buy in big volume (and I am) then you can make some really outrageous deals. (which I have!)
So while everyone else is selling, I've been buying and we have to make room for our new shipments which start arriving next week. And now through Friday, we'll be cleaning house! I've let the merchandising team know that it all has to go by this week, regardless of profit margin (hoping they'll at least keep it in the positive range.) If you've been waiting for the right time to purchase new flooring, there's never been a better time and it won't be like this forever.
If you find the perfect floor, I'd urge you not to wait until the last day. This sale is based on available inventory and at these prices it will go quickly!

Thank you for your red oak sample....I should have asked in the beginning if there was enough red oak for my needs...I was sorry that there wasn't but thank you for the sample...I have done business with many companies over the years...I am also a business owner as well.........Your professionalism is deeply appreciated....I couldn't do any better myself. That's a good thing cause I try and always be the best I can be...I appreciate your compassion as a company.......Sincerely Richard

I know we'll find another hot deal for Richard. This is always one of those catch 22's. The hottest deals go fast and we hate to disappoint customers, so if you see something get it before it's gone. Right now there are deals to be had, but they are often so competitive that there are tons of customers on the web all trying to get it. The first movers always have the advantage.
Thanks Richard and kudos to the team for taking care of the customers.
Our new floor looks fabulous. I was delighted to see that the installer
did all the cutting outside and there was no mess in my house. I have
already recommended ifloor to a friend.

Kudos to the team that delivered on the promise to serve. Congratulations to Linda on a fabulous new floor!
Laminate flooring is still relatively new in terms of a product category within the flooring industry.
Still it is surprising how often people still ask the basic question of, "What exactly is laminate?"
They want to know, "Is it a hardwood floor?" or they ask, "Is this a vinyl floor?"
People are trying to use their existing knowledge about floors to try and fit laminate flooring into one of those buckets.
Laminate flooring simply said is a plastic surface with a core made of wood fiber. As I have always said, the part that looks like wood, yeah that's the plastic. The part in the middle that is hard to tell what it is exactly is actually a high density fiber board (depending on the manufacturer.) For more details check out my 1996 article called Pergo Vs. The World.
The brands Pergo, Wilsonart, Shaw, Amstrong, True Flooring and many more make laminate flooring in all different ways. Pergo is the top brand consumers are aware of and often will refer to the category of laminate as Pergo. (in the same vein as all tissue paper being referred to as Kleenex) To see a quick rating guide check out Brand Wars II which compare some of the top brands to each other.
As the end of the day, laminate flooring is a unique product category of its own. It is cool, it is value priced, and more and more it is becoming more innovative. It's not for everybody, but that is a whole different topic.
Every once in awhile, the opportunity arises to avoid something we all (or at least most of us) dislike; sales tax. It makes me recall a story I heard from a very nice woman who waited in line for 4 hours one day to save about $6.00 on an mp3 player for her son. I remember first being amazed that someone would be willing to spend an additional 4 hours of their personal time to save $6.00, but then it occurred to me that it's not about the savings at all, but rather the principle. That maybe we're willing to go out of our way a little more than we usually would to avoid paying the government (legally, of course!)
Well, it got me to thinking. What if we pay the sales tax on your flooring purchase? The savings will be considerably more than it would be for an iPOD or "Back to School" supplies, and perhaps more importantly, you won't have to go out of your way at all. There won't be 4 hour lines, fighting over the last of a particular item, outrageous crowds to contend with, etc. In fact, you're purchase won't take any longer than it normally would. You'll get the same pleasurable experience you would on any other day while still saving a bundle.
So what's the catch? Only one: Some states don't allow it, but we have a plan for that! If you're in an exclusion area, we've arranged a special 18 Month No payment and No interest financing option. And if you are within an area that allows us to pay the tax on your purchase, you'll have the option to choose the tax or financing option. So, either you'll save a bunch, or you'll save a bunch. That's the iFLOOR way.
The CFO and suits in accounting say that this offer ends on Friday, but I'd urge you not to wait until the last day. The best deals always go quickly and I'd hate for you to miss out on the perfect floor for you!
