It was a pleasure dealing with National Floors Direct. The salesman arrived on time, was knowledgeable, informative and professional. I thought the commercial might be too good to be true but the carpet was installed the next day. The installers were terrific and the carpet looks great. There hasn\'t been one person at NFD that hasn\'t surpassed my expectations. Great customer service, professional, great product and competitive prices!!

Installation Feedback

<st1:date w:st="on" Year="2008" Day="4" Month="12">04-12-2008</st1:date>

I had both hardwood flooring and carpeting installed. Both installs went very well, and I am totally satisfied with the end result. I would especially like to comment on the carpet installtion done by Kenny D and his son. They were both very pleasant to deal with, worked very hard, and the quality of the work was excellent. Kenny\'s attention to detail was especially evident in the basement. With no prompting from me, he installed the carpet around a sump pump cover in such a way that it is totally hidden, but I can easily pull back the carpet if I need to access the pump. In addition, Kenny was very flexible in handling a couple of situations. Rather than asking me to disassemble a large computer cabinet so it could be moved out of the room, Kenny moved it back and forth while laying the carpet. When he got to the living room, he was only too happy to bury a home theater speaker cable, which goes across the room to the rear speakers, under the carpet so that for the first time it is invisible. I am delighted to have selected the NFD team for my new flooring project.

Latest Trends in Hardwood Floors

Hardwood flooring has rocked the groundwork of interior designing, making homes look more elegant, rustic and pleasant to the eye, depending on the kind of wood used. The wood flooring industry has gained a good amount of the market share, making it possible to use almost any wood for flooring. Though, there are plenty of choices in hardwood flooring, the latest species that are used are becoming a trend, since they add the old world elegance. Manufacturers have moved on from the traditional use of oak floorings to exotic species that are imported from Africa, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region></st1:place> and elsewhere from the world.

To make a room come alive with drama, varying the floor levels can help. When you walk into a room and have to take one or two steps down to actually be in the room , feelings of grandeur seem to conjure up. If stepping down is not feasible, how about stepping up? A bedroom, for example, can have drama if the bed is up on a level or two higher than the rest of the room. If space allows, make the platform wide enough for the night stands, too, so the whole ensemble seems to be floating on an island. <o:p></o:p>

Choosing Your Distressed Hardwood Floor

If you’ve ever noticed that the games you played as a kid have been reintroduced for your kids, or that your daughters are wearing styles that were popular thirty years ago, you’re experiencing “everything old is new again.Distressed hardwood flooring is a perfect example of the old becoming new. When hardwood floors went out of style years ago, one of the reasons was that many wood floors were distressed. At the time, this was a bad thing; the floors looked old and worn, and people wanted new, shiny hardwood floors, or, at one point, carpeting to cover the old hardwoods.
