Vinyl Introduction
Home. It’s a place of pride and a source of safety. It’s the stuff dreams are made of and the result of hard work. Home beckons and welcomes, soothes and satisfies, charms and comforts. There’s no place on earth like it.
A home’s appeal and fascination are also universal. Novelist Maya Angelou said, “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”
That’s why our goal is to provide you with quality resilient flooring products that offer a positive and lasting effect on your home. Products that beautify your home, enhance décor, meet your specific comfort, performance and budget needs, are easy to care for and stand the test of time. To help achieve our goal, we’ve created a library of resilient flooring knowledge, style choices, shopping tips, buying considerations and upkeep dos and don’ts. It’s all conveniently contained in this section of our website.
