Our discussion questions:
- When does a flooring decision come into the design process? How important is it in your designing process?
- How often do you use soft surface flooring (carpets, area rugs, etc.) vs. hard surface flooring? Why?
- What specifications do you look for in bathroom flooring? What do you find works well?
- What is your preferred product for kitchen flooring?
- Floors are an important part of the kitchen. How do you convince your clients to invest in an upgrade in flooring to accommodate the lifestyle of the family?
- How do you educate your client to support the choice of flooring
- According to the NKBA, flooring accounts for approximately 7% of a kitchen remodeling budget. How does this relate to your projects? Does flooring take up more of the budget? Less? – how do you factor that into your kitchen proposal/flooring budget?
- If budget were no object, what type of flooring would you choose for a kitchen project? A bath? Share photos of your favorite floors from your projects!
