We sincerely hope the hints and information listed below will be helpful.

Carpet

Because most manufacturers' warranties will not apply in a rental situation, selecting the right product could be confusing. Fiber content and construction are the two main factors to consider. While the newer olefin fibers will generally clean better, they could show a traffic pattern if loosely constructed. Most all of you have heard of the berber carpets made of this fiber. A pretty good rule is...if you get a good berber, you'll have one of the best products on the market...if you get a bad berber, you'll have a nightmare. The nylon fibers tend to perform better, have a wider selection of textures and colors, but do not clean as easily as the olefin fibers. this is where a knowledgeale flooring professional can be of invaluable assistance. Whatever your decision, make sure that the padding is at least eight pound density to insure proper wear, and that your carpet is cleaned professionally at least twice per year in the high wear areas and once a year in the bedrooms.

Ceramic Tile

We only recommend a Class 4 or Class 5 tile. These tiles have been graded for heavy residential and commercial use. While no glazed tile is completely "non-skid", there are many styles with textures that are "slip-resistant" when those wet feet come in from the water! Sizes range from 8"x8" all the way up to 20"x20". Remember, the larger the tile, the less grout to keep clean.

Vinyl Tile

Some of the new vinyl tiles and wood-look planks have vastly improved and may deserve a second look. They can be an excellent choice when ceramic tile will not work, and a much smarter choice than what we call "sheet goods".
