Don’t Get Floored: Questions You Need To Ask Your Dealer BEFORE You Buy

Before purchasing your dream floor, it is important to ask your Dealer a few important questions. Check off your list using these tips from TORLYS.

Price

The first question you probably have is “How much?” It’s obviously an important question, but it’s not the only cost query you should have for your flooring dealer. Sometimes there are hidden costs for in-home measurements or estimates. Some dealers charge for the removal of old flooring. If you have furniture in the room where the new floor is going, you should ask if there is a cost for moving it if you cannot do it yourself. Finally, if you’re interested, enquire about any upgrades the dealer may offer.

Preparation

You should ask if you have to do anything to prepare for the installation of your new floor. As mentioned previously, furniture may be an issue. Some dealers will move it for you, others will not. A conversation about the condition of your subflooring is also a good idea. Do you need to upgrade or clean it before the new floor is installed? Doors are another consideration. Do they have to be removed during installation? What happens if they don’t open and close properly after the new floor is installed? Whose responsibility is it to shave or re-hang them?

Installation

Most new owners can’t wait for their floor to be installed, so one of the more pressing questions you will have is “When can you install it?” However, you should also enquire about who is doing the installation. Ask your dealer if they install the floor themselves or hire third-party contractors. Are they licensed? Bonded? Insured? Finally, do they have any references or testimonials you can read?

You also need to ask about the installation process itself. What does it entail and how long does it typically take? Will installation be relatively simple, like with snap-and-click plank technology, or will it be messy and incorporate glue and nails? Finally, if you want to do-it-yourself, ask if it’s a plausible option.

Warranty

There is a difference between the warranty dealers offer on installation and the warranty flooring companies offer on their product. You should be clear on who is responsible for what in case there are issues. Reputable companies will offer comprehensive warranties on all of their flooring options. For example, TORLYS offers a lifetime “No gapping” warranty on all of their floors when 30-60% humidity is maintained as well as a trade-in value guarantee.

Asking the right questions about a floor ensures that you’re buying the right floor for your home. It’s also a good idea to make a list of all the possible questions you want to ask before you visit a dealer. Happy floor shopping!

TORLYS Signs Agreement with Microban

TORONTO, January 15, 2016 – TORLYS today announced the signing of a category exclusive partnership with Microban International for North America – to include Microban Antimicrobial Product Protection in the production of its EverWood and EverTile luxury vinyl floors. Microban is the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection. A non-exclusive licensing agreement is also in place for EverWood and EverTile in Europe.

Floors in moisture-prone areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens and basements, can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew, a serious household problem that affects more than one million homes in North America; adversely affecting a home’s value.

On unprotected surfaces, mold and mildew grows rapidly. It has become a bigger problem in homes, especially as we make our homes more air-tight. All it needs to multiply is a food source, moisture, warmth, and time.

“TORLYS has created an innovative solution to help inhibit the growth of mold and mildew at the floor level,” said Peter Barretto, President and CEO of TORLYS. “EverWood and EverTile Elite and Premier luxury vinyl floors will now have Microban Antimicrobial Product Protection built in to our patented CorkPlus attached underlay. This is a breakthrough technology for interior environments – residential and commercial – that will last for the life of the floor.”

“Microban specializes in helping companies implement fresher, cleaner, longer-lasting products and the integration of their technology into our EverWood and EverTile luxury vinyl flooring products seemed like a natural fit. Microban Antimicrobial Product Protection is a proven inhibitor of mold and mildew on a continuous basis. It will provide partners with peace of mind knowing that their floors will carry this protection for the life of their floor, “ said Barretto.
