Carpet is a classic floor material that has stood the test of time. If you are worried about your children, your pets, or heavy traffic wearing down your carpet, you will be surprised at how modern carpets have been developed to resist this everyday wear and tear. Not to mention, stain resistant carpets and cleaning technologies have come a long way. To help you narrow down the perfect carpet for the conditions in your home or business, we detail a few popular options here.

Pattern, Length, and Density

• Frieze carpet is an all-around winner. Its thick weave and light patterns expertly conceal stains and dirt. While it is a shag carpet, the fibers are wound tightly to give it a thick, plushy feel. This also affords it excellent sound absorption and many years of durability. 
• Textured carpet is an option that takes the cake for being highly durable yet sophisticated. Textured carpet is ideal for large expanses or drab rooms by adding visual depth and stimulation. It also makes for exceptional rugs. Durability, appeal, and style all in one!
• Berber carpet is easily the most popular material in high traffic areas as well as commercial settings. Its tight weave holds in place for many years, allowing Berber to maintain its shape and quality after long periods of heavy use.

Still not sure which carpet will work best? We’ll come to you for an onsite demonstration of your favorite samples! Call us today at 817-861-3737 to schedule your visit with our mobile showroom. We cover all your flooring needs – from rugs to remnants and anywhere in between!

We understand that your flooring is more than just something to walk on: it’s an investment, a stylistic statement, and what you and your family grow and play on. Because of our sincere commitment to your satisfaction with your floors, we have detailed a few tips on how to find the best flooring deal.

Top Quality Flooring

Finding quality flooring for your home or business can sometimes be a challenge, but utilizing the right floor can be the difference between total satisfaction or complete disappointment with your floors. Our advice is to work with a flooring company that has a warehouse stocked with all kinds of materials: not only will this help you find the ideal floor for your needs, but since the material is kept on site, you will save weeks waiting on the material to arrive and hundreds (if not thousands) by not having to specially order the material.

The Right Price For Your Budget

Paying the right price is crucial in securing the best deal for your flooring needs. You could be swindled by overpaying, or receive faulty material and shoddy installation by paying too little. Enter your exploration for the perfect floor with a sound budget in mind. Know the price points for what your desired material usually goes for: don’t let a salesman talk you out of that budget, but don’t be unreasonable either.

Professional Installation is Key

Easily the single most important factor to the success of your floor is how it is installed. Using cheap labor may save you a buck, but you’ll pay for it many times over when your floor fails soon after. Doing it yourself can be backbreaking and frustrating if you don’t install it properly. Know the reputation of the installation team you work with.

To Secure The Best Deal

Our best advice for finding the best deal is not to sacrifice on quality, price, or professionalism. At DFW Flooring Warehouse you can be sure you’re receiving all of these! We stock thousands of materials in our one-acre warehouse to help you cut right to the ideal application for your needs.

Wood-look tile is a mouthful to say but a beauty to take in. With this versatile flooring solution, you reap all the advantages of tile that are then amplified by its natural wood appearance. Here we walk you through a few of the many benefits of this breathtaking floor tile.

Real wood is prone to warping and discoloration when exposed to water. Wood-look tile is highly moisture resistant, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, or any other area where water may be present. It can flawlessly be used to create a shabby-chic look for built in showers, or a nature inspired back splash above kitchen sinks.

Wood-look tile is easy to maintain. Once installed, it is wonderfully hands-off and requires little attention other than normal sweeping and cleaning. Best of all, a wider range of cleaning products can be used on tile than on wood.

Pets and children are a constant worry around real wood floors. Wood-look tile is incredibly resilient: your kids can drag race cars around the floor to their hearts’ content, and your dog can sprint to the door to welcome you home.

Wood-Look Tile in Your Home

There is no flooring store in the DFW area that does flooring the way we do: we stock thousands of products right here on site in the metroplex to help curb costs that other companies shift upon their customers to bear. Wood-look tile is one of our company specialties, and with a wide range of tiles in stock, you can’t afford to skip a complimentary free estimate! Call us today at (817) 861-3737 for professional wood-tile installation in DFW.

Nothing really brings about elegance in a household like hardwood floors. They give a rustic, classic look. On top of that, they take less effort to clean than traditional carpets. However, they can get damaged. To avoid that, you just need to know what to look out for. We go over some things that can harm hardwood floors here.

Harsh Chemicals:

Chemicals including ammonia, detergent, vinegar, etc. can harm the integrity of your floors. Avoid cleaning with them over other methods.

High Heels:

Unfortunately, repeatedly walking on hardwood with high heels can create dents. These dents can compound in number and severity over time. Take off these shoes when inside the house.

Bare Furniture Legs:

Without padding under them, the legs of your furniture can create large dents. They dig into the floors with their own weight, as well as people’s added weight when they sit on them.

Water:

Never let water, or any other liquid, sit on your hardwood floors. It can cause the wood to curl. Clean up any messes immediately.

 

Keep these things in mind, and you’ll worry a lot less about your floor’s health. If you’d like to take advantage of professional hardwood installation, give DFW Flooring Warehouse a call. You can reach us at (817) 861-3737.

Has the time come to install a new floor in your home? Do you have a lot of questions about the different floor types? If so, we’ve got a fantastic option for you to consider, one among many that we offer here at DFW Flooring Warehouse. If that piques your interest, read on to find out about the benefits of ceramic tile flooring.

Water Resistance:

Due to a glaze put on them during production, ceramic tiles stand up well against moisture. Other than the grout between the tiles, you won’t have to worry much about water causing damage.

Low Maintenance:

As with most tile options, maintaining ceramic tiles mostly just involves cleaning them. In the case of stains setting in, you can use industrial cleaners to get them out.

Design Options:

You can find all kinds of visual designs for this material. They even come in options that mimic wood and stone. Also, you can cut them into a few different shapes: rectangle, triangle, plank etc.

So, for whatever reason, you need new carpets; you bought a new house or your old carpets have gotten ruined. Either way, you’ve got a big decision to make. You have a wide selection to choose from, but they don’t all work in every situation. To help you make your decision, we’ve gone over the pros and cons of a plush carpet.

 

Pros:

• Plush provides probably the most comfortable texture of any option. Great for bare feet, the whole family can gather on one.
• They add a great aesthetic appeal to a room’s decor.
• With proper and thorough maintenance, plush carpets often last longer than their thinner counterparts due to their high density.

Cons:

• They require much more vacuuming and preening. Because they have such a thick layer, foot prints and vacuum streaks often remain.
• Stains become much more dangerous; they seep very quickly to the base, so need to get handled immediately before they become permanent.

Keep these in mind when deciding which carpet choice will prove right for you. If you’d like to hear from a professional, why not give DFW Flooring Warehouse a call? To talk to us about our services, you can reach us at (817) 861-3737.

We all want a pristine household, but sometimes taking the time out to care for it can prove too much. It helps make it easier to know the tricks of the trade. Towards that end, we’ve put together some helpful tips on cleaning your carpets:

 

 

 

 

Stains:

When your carpet gets a bad stain, the trick involves blotting them rather than wiping them out. Dab your towel in cleaning solution and blot from the outside in.

Club Soda:

This classic home remedy can get rid of beer and wine stains. Dab it onto a towel and blot them out; it may take a few tries.

Shaving Cream:

Another home remedy, you can spray shaving cream over a stain, let it sit there for about a half hour, then blot it up. Afterwards, if you want, you can spray a water and vinegar solution to get out the shaving cream residue and left-over stain.

Gum:

Don’t try to pick up gum that has stuck to the carpet for a while. Instead, grab some ice cubes and put them over the gum. Once it has frozen, lift up the gum and cut off the carper fibers as close to it as you can. As long as the piece didn’t take up too much space, the spot won’t become noticeable.

 

Keep these in mind when cleaning your carpet. If you require carpet or floor installation, DFW Flooring Warehouse can help. To find out more, you can reach us at (817) 861-3737.

Nobody likes to clean. We all want to get it over with as quickly as possible. Here are 4 different methods of approach to keeping your floors spotless:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1- Just leave the dirt outside:

The best way to keep a floor clean is to never get it dirty in the first place. Always keep a welcome mat outside of your door to knock off the dirt that accumulates on the bottom of your shoes. Make it a house rule to take off your shoes after entering the home. In the winter months, make sure everyone has a pair of warm slippers to keep their feet from getting cold.

2- Use a broom:

Brooms are a great tool for the initial cleaning and regular maintenance. You can use a mop, just be careful about what type of floor you’re using it on. Making daily sweeping part of your routine is a great way to keep dirt from piling up.

3- Use a vacuum:

Your vacuum is where the real cleaning begins. Make sure it’s on the floor setting and go to town. You don’t have to use your vacuum as often as you use your broom, maybe once a week or more if you have pets. 

4- Use vinegar:

This is the classic home remedy for all the hard to clean areas. Mix vinegar and water in a plastic squirt bottle, spray lightly over desired areas, and wipe with a dry/damp mop. You can keep this method in your back pocket as a trump card for when dirt has really built up.
