Need Directions when you hit a Fork in the Flooring Road . . .

I want new flooring.  I’ve been on the internet looking and researching at all options.  My head is full of information about nylon carpet  fiber verses polyester carpet fiber, stain-guard or StainMaster, tile or porcelain, laminate or  hardwood.  Still  can’t make a decision?  You’ve reached that fork in the flooring road.   

Buying flooring today is not as easy as you think because of the huge selection that is available in today’s market place.    There are more products available in more color choices that will make your plate spin.  Take laminates for example.  It was invented in 1977, introduced into the European market in 1984 and the US market in 1994.  It is a relatively new product in the flooring industry.  When compared  to red oak hardwoods, laminates are in their infancy.  Every year, the laminate products are improving, thanks to modern technology.

The flooring manufacturers have definitely benefited from today’s technology.   This technology has kept the cost of flooring at an affordable level, more specifically in carpet production. For example, in 1967 the average value for carpet (not woven or tufted) was approximately $3.76 s/y or $0.42 s/f.  In 2009, the average value was $16.41 s/y or $1.82 s/f.  You might think that is a big increase.  Let’s just take another example.  In 1967, the average value for a Shelby Ford Mustang was approximately $4000.  The average value in 2009 is $68,988 (depending on where you live).  You can’t put a lid on this fact.  Flooring manufacturers are doing something right and you as a consumer are getting the benefits and value.
