If you’re thinking about putting carpet in your home, good thinking!

Carpet may be the most popular floor choice of all time. It covered the floors of ancient homes and probably covers the floors at your neighbors.

Carpet is relatively inexpensive (hooray!), generally easier to install (and remove), and for folks like you who want lots of choices, carpet comes in a zillion styles, colors and textures that blend with all décors, yours included.

Carpet stands up to your life. Developments in carpet fiber technology and construction are producing carpets that are more stain resistant and wear better – they can endure what families dish out.

Carpet is your warmth and comfort buddy. We don’t want to get too technical but you should know that carpet provides thermal resistance. (Called R-value.) In cold weather the carpet in your living room will retain heated air longer. Great for your energy bill…and bare feet!

Carpet softens and protects. Falls can happen. Better to land on a nice soft carpet. It goes without saying that carpet is a comfortable place to sit, play and, ugh, even work on.

Carpet pipes down the noise. That big screen TV of yours and modern sound system can be a blast, but if you need to tone it down, carpet softens the blow, acts as a sound barrier between floors, walls – and your neighbors!

If you love lists (and who doesn’t) here are ALL THE BENEFITS OF CARPET:

• Carpet is the floor covering of real value

• Carpet is easier to install and live with

• Carpet styles, colors and textures are vast

• Carpet matches your style and home décor

• Carpet durability is greater than ever before

• Carpet warms the home, heart and happening

• Carpet cushions falls, tiny feet and all knees

• Carpet absorbs noise, quiets the home front

• Carpet effectively hides subfloor irregularities

• Carpet can be placed over a variety of substrates,
on all grade levels, even over concrete slabs

Do you have a small bathroom that you think is too small for any pattern or personality? You aren’t alone. It’s a common thought that small rooms just don’t have the space to handle pattern or design. This room is an example of how you can not only use a pattern in the room, but add some style elements to give it some life and personality.

In this bathroom, not only has the tile been turned on the diagonal, but mosaic dots have been placed in the intersections of the tile for added contrast. The dots in the floor do a great job of complimenting the color of the countertop. In this small room, granite, porcelain and slate have all been used to turn this small bathroom into a charming area!

It’s always a good idea to scale out a room when you are trying to add pattern to a small area, but a general rule of thumb is to make sure that you have enough room to fit at least 2 full tiles across the room.

Don’t be shy! Larger tiles can actually help make rooms look larger than small tiles. When there are less lines for your eyes to break up the room will appear less chopped up.

Small rooms can also handle dark colors without feeling too small, but we’ll save that conversation for another day.

The moral of the story? Just because your room is small, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t deserve some pattern and character! Visit the virtual room designer on our website and try on different floors to see what you can come up with!

The Pierce family is proud to welcome Seth Breding as the new manager of the Helena store!

About Seth:

Seth began his life on his family’s natural beef ranch south of a metropolitan sprawl in central Montana called Shawmut.  Not only did he grow up there, this is where he was also forever instilled with a love for Montana and local commerce.

His life journeys have led him around the globe several times after education at U of M and Rocky Mountain College.  He has since begun a family which includes his lovely wife and three young children.  They have recently relocated to Helena to be able to stay in Montana and close to the children’s grandparents.  They are thrilled to be here and a part of a community that is conducive to the lifestyle they want to raise their boys with.

The sentiments are the same as far as the fit he has found with Pierce Flooring.  A company that he explains as an “open book” and honest Montana based company. In his words… “The whole crew is great, from the employees all the way through to the management.”  “A great team feel and full of integrity”. “It completes the package as far as our move here. We are really excited to have found Pierce.”   He also adds with a big Montana grin. “I would like to think they are equally as fortunate to have found me.”

Please stop in to meet Seth and welcome him in the Helena store at 1401 Cedar Street!
