Karndean Luxury Vinyl Planks and Tiles

Karndean Flooring is another of latest product line additions. It is amazing, but for years I have visited the nation’s top retailer and admired the vinyl plank flooring in their clothing department. I always wondered, but never knew, it was Karndean’s Van Gogh Plank Flooring. It is also amazing that after years of extremely heavy traffic the floor still looks brand new. Van Gogh Plank by Karndean is a relatively inexpensive product making it more amazing yet.

Van Gogh Plank and the entire Karndean Luxury Vinyl line are now available to all the customers of American Carpet Wholesalers at our Express Floors of Georgia location or you can view and order samples from our website. We are sure you will love the product and even more sure you will love our pricing.

Carpet Prices and The Price of Oil!

Some of the logic of the new carpet price increases is that the price of a barrel of oil has more than doubled in the last 5 months. While that statement is true, 5 months ago oil was at about $36 a barrel, down from
around $140 a barrel in the fall of 2008. All of 2008 we had unprecedented price increases on carpets by all manufacturers. As oil fell to the $36 mark, there wasn’t mass price reductions on carpet to account for the record increases just a few months before.

More logic to the latest carpet prices increases “record low levels of demand for carpet”, as one manufacturer put it. I am not an economist, but it seems to me that a sure way to reduce demand further is raise prices in an unstable economy. Carpet has lost a tremendous amount of market share to hard surface flooring such as laminate flooring, hardwood flooring and luxury vinyl tile products. I suspect with higher prices more of the market share will be lost.

Congoleum Duraceramic

What a GREAT product!
Congoleum has a winner here. Looks exactly like ceramic but is more durable and is warmer to foot traffic. It is easy to install. You can install with or without grout. We have literally sold millions of dollars of this product at American Carpet Wholesalers almost complaint free. Congoleum Duraceramic is the name to remember when considering tile for your floor.
