  • What information should you gather before you even step into a showroom?

    First things first, know the sizes of your rooms. If you want to get the most accurate price projection, you’ll need to know how many square feet you're trying to cover. Second, consider your color choices and the mood you want to set in your space. After that, visit our flooring store in Vancouver, WA!

  • Is there one particular product or type of flooring that withstands the test of time the best?

    One of the products that’s really developed over the last two or three years is water-resistant laminate. It’s scratch-resistant (hardwood is not), moisture-resistant, and looks like incredibly realistic wood or tile. It’s very durable and will last a long time. Stop by our flooring store in Vancouver, WA to take a look!

  • What’s the best flooring option for kids, pets, and generally highly-trafficked areas?

    There are multiple options for any of these scenarios. The best way to figure out the flooring that will fit your lifestyle is to come into our floor store in Vancouver, WA, and chat with one of our consultants. Our experts at All About Floors NW have vast experience with all types of flooring, and we'll be able to recommend options that fit your specific needs.

  • How often does flooring need to be replaced?

    Most people want a floor that’s going to hold up for a long time, which is why buyers have steered away from carpeting (which needs to be replaced every five to seven years). Instead, they’re choosing hardwood, but most don’t know how to properly clean or maintain it. To help extend the lifespan of our customers’ hardwood flooring, we created a service called Hardwood Genius. It’s a cleaning technique that scrubs off surface dirt and scrapes out anything stuck in the grooves of the wood before we add a revitalization coat to enhance the grain and overall appearance. To learn more about what we can do to protect your hardwood in Vancouver, WA, give us a call today.

  • What are some of the top flooring trends you’re seeing in the market?

    Carpet sales have been down across the board -- people are installing less wall-to-wall carpeting in favor of hard surfaces with area rugs instead. According to a National Wood Flooring Association survey, 52% of homeowners say they have wood floors in their homes, so this is clearly a popular option. For the past five years or so, grays and dark washes have been big, but today's trends are moving toward rustic whitewashes and light oaks. To see the many options we have available, visit our flooring store in Vancouver, WA.

  • Is there a flooring type you consider “timeless”?

    Nice medium brown hardwoods are classic. Look for a wood that has a little brown and a little gray in it. A blend of the two is easy to decorate with and should match your existing finishes. It also helps when you’re going to sell your house -- buyers appreciate classic hardwood looks with colorations that easily adapt to any aesthetic.

  • Thoughts on buying online versus in-store?

    Shopping for flooring is an experience. There’s a touch and feel to it. How soft a carpet is won’t come across in an online photo. Textures, color variations, and shading can all appear differently online. Plus, to really understand the wealth of flooring options out there, you need to visit our 40,000-square-foot flooring superstore. You will truly feel like you’ve seen it all before making the all-important decision of putting new flooring in your home. Stop by our floor store in Vancouver, WA today.
