Leftwich Chapman Flooring
I and the rest of the materials class went to a field trip last week to Leftwich Chapman Flooring. There we learned that they a high-end company specialized in many types of flooring. They are known to do flooring in residential and small commercial business, but not the real big commercial businesses. They are also know to keep up with the present styles of modern today, such as carpet, wood flooring, tile, vinyl, and laminate, that can be easily worked with your budget.
When entering everything seemed to be sectioned off into threes, but it was the three that everyone enjoyed other than the vinyl flooring, and it was flooring such as wooden flooring, in the middle was carpet, and off to the right was tile flooring. The first section we started at was the wooden flooring and there were a variety of types of wood. If customers were looking into going the cheaper route, the engineered wood was the best way to go. There were so many interesting wood flooring that caught everyone’s eye, and that was the leather flooring and the cork flooring. They both seemed very durable, but were also very expensive.
The next section was the carpet section and there were a lot of options to either go with the really plushy carpets that are hard to vacuum on or go with the really short pile carpets that are easier to vacuum on. It was mentioned that there was a carpet that is bleach resistant, which is just amazing.
The next section was the tile section and there was a variety of tile to choose from. Considering that the interior design students just finished a project dealing with tile, what a painful experience that was, but it was obvious that everyone enjoy the types of tile that was being displayed. The glass tile seemed to catch everyone’s attention, and nobody could keep their hands off of them.
This field trip taught me a whole lot more about flooring than I ever did; it also interested me to look into it even deeper to broaden my knowledge about it. This place showed everyone just all the beautiful styles out there, that everyone can enjoy, and fond over.
I agree with your statement about everyones love for the glass tile! Everyone had the excitement of a five year old on Christmas morning! I learned a lot about the newest products and designs available in the tile industry!
ReplyDeleteGreat Post! Like Claire said it really summed up the trip and all the showroom had to offer, and of course everyone's excitement over the new and unique "shiny" tile!
ReplyDeleteI really like your picture! I also hope that in the carpet section you got to feel everything!! I think everyone in my class felt like all the different carpets.
