You may have noticed that soft flooring in Columbus has become available from a much wider array of stores in recent years. You can obtain middling quality rugs and set quantities of carpeting from stores that also sell housewares and pantry items. The selection is obviously limited in those cases, but the prices make it an attractive option for some consumers.
We’re of two minds about this, and we think you should be, too. Obviously, we’d prefer that you buy soft flooring for a Columbus home from Fedco Floor Services. We also think that you’d prefer our higher-quality offerings if you compared a range of options side-by-side. But we’re willing to compromise, and we’d encourage you to do the same in situations where your budget and your long-term planning are pulling you in two different directions.
In previous posts, we’ve talked about the advantages of choosing two types of flooring for the same space – a substrate that functions as an investment in the home’s resale value, and top-layer flooring that you can enjoy on a daily basis without worrying too much about wear and tear. That top layer might be something like vinyl tiles, which are easy to install but mimic other types of durable flooring. But more commonly, soft flooring is the natural way to go when installing something functional over more upscale hardwoods.
Soft flooring seems like an even more natural choice when you can obtain it cheaply, and thus replace it whenever the wear and tear get to be too much for your comfort. Of course, if you can afford something higher quality, we would still recommend you get your soft flooring from Fedco Floor Services, even if the point is to wear it out over time with everyday use. But if you have to choose between quality hardwood and a quality soft flooring overlay, it’s clear you should go for the former.
It makes perfect sense to prioritize your long-term investment when budgeting for household upgrades. If that means buying your hardwood from Fedco Floor Services and going to some run-of-the-mill storefront for cheap soft flooring, then we fully understand. In fact, we fully encourage you to go elsewhere for some of your flooring needs as long as you recognize you’re getting the best from us. And if the purpose of your cheap soft flooring is to protect the high-value investment we’ve helped you make, we may even install that overlay for you.
