Getting Started
If you think about the floor as the fifth wall of your home, you quickly see what a huge impact it has on your decor. The room starts here. Fortunately, there are as many options as there are tastes and preferences. But unfortunately, that many options can be confusing.
This resource will help clarify and simplify your selection process. It’s a guide we hope will inspire, educate, and even entertain you.
First, a few words about the shopping experience you can expect. CRT Flooring throughout Texas is a select group of retailers who have aligned their stores with CRT Flooring Concepts Industries, the world’s largest flooring manufacturer. They offer a broad selection of carpet, hardwood, laminate, rugs and tile and stone together with expert installation and design guidance. In short, you can be confident of receiving the very best in product styling and quality, service and convenience.
Tips
How to Decorate with Floor Covering
1. Don’t be afraid of color. Whether it’s bold and daring or soft and delicate, color is the easiest way to brighten your home and express your personality. And if you are thinking of resale, keep in mind that buyers are becoming more sophisticated, preferring homes with a strong sense of design and color.
2. Light-colored carpets show soil more readily than dark shades, while dark colors are prone to showing lint. Patterns, multi-colors, and some textured styles are effective in hiding soil and spills.
3. Darker colors make a room appear smaller and cozier, while lighter shades give the room a larger oval look. Color can seem to influence the temperature of an environment. Blues, greens, and other similar shades have a cooling effect; reds, yellows, and browns warm up a room.
4. In rooms where noise is a factor-the media room, bedrooms, a mother-in-law apartment—there are obvious advantages to using carpet because of its efficiency at absorbing ambient sound.
5. Contrary to what you think, carpet is a good choice for allergy sufferers. It traps allergens, so they don’t float in the air and you can vacuum them right up.
6. There’s a hardwood floor for any room in the house, even the kitchen. Spills aren’t harmful if they’re wiped up quickly. You will find your charming wood floor just looks better with age and laminates offer wood and stone visuals that look so real, its hard to tell them from hardwood and tile.
7. Tile is being put into rooms-it’s so easy to maintain and clean. Water’s no problem, and if you use a dark gout and seal it, stains and soil aren’t an issue, either.
8. If you have a large, open space, an area rug can make it seem friendlier and more intimate. Rugs are also great at defining a sitting or gathering area.
Pattern
Pattern in carpet and rugs has become extremely popular: circles, polka-dots, stripes, geometrics, stylized florals. These patterns appear in a variety of color combinations that range from subtle to dynamic, so there’s infinite variety in the looks you can create. Patterns can complement the contemporary, add majesty to the traditional, and give pizzazz to the quiet.
Texture is big news for all flooring. In carpet and rugs, look for the loops, velvety fabric-inspired designs, and sculpted surfaces. High-tech machinery is used to create such desirable dimension and luxurious feeling. In hardwood and laminate, hand-scraped and distressed effects add wonderful character and richness. Ceramics and porcelain tile is increasingly seen with unusual and unique surfaces, like spatter glazing.
Trends
Carpet and hard surface flooring are being designed more often to coordinate with each other. The rich color palette of wood, the texture of a stone tile-these are used in developing carpet colors and textures. The process makes combining flooring types, which is an increasingly popular look, much easier and less random. The results are gorgeous!
Individualized style is another trend. More people are making choices based not on fashion rules but on what pleases them. Make your home a personal expression of taste and preference-set your own rules. Mix the Victorian armoire with your mid-century chairs. Display your grandmother’s quilt with a contemporary rug.

If you scored mostly A’s, you like a more formal, classical look. Consider carpet from the Texture category-its smooth, velvety pile will lend a distinctive elegance to the décor. Dark, richly finished hardwood is often associated with formal settings. Layer a lovely rug over wood or carpet, and you have a magnificent look that’s very on-trend.
If you scored mostly B’s, you like to be on the cutting edge of fashion. Choose carpet from the Pattern category or a rug that reflects fashion-inspired fabric-you’ll find circles and squares, harlequin and checkerboard designs, argyles and paisley. Or opt for the clean, minimalist feeling of a hardwood, laminate, or tile in very light or very dark colors. All these choices complement the spare lines of contemporary furniture.
If you scored mostly C’s, you have an ultra-busy life – and yet you don’t have to sacrifice style to get what you need. Try a carpet from the Twist or Loop categories-they’re forgiving, sturdy and great for active families. Distressed or hand-scraped hardwood and laminate are good choices, too. And tile-ceramic, porcelain, or stone-is known for its easy care and low maintenance.
Hope you enjoyed the What’s Your Style quiz. It’s a lighthearted way of pointing out that the more you think about what your room needs, as well as what you like, the more satisfied you’ll be with your ultimate selection.
The most widely sold floor covering, carpet is popular for both practical and decorative reasons.
- It’s natural insulator that provides warmth
- It muffles sound and eliminates distracting clatter.
- It provides a comfortable, non-slip walking surface that reduces leg fatigue and injury from falls.
- Elegant, soft and colorful, carpet brings a strong sense of style to a space.
Carpet is extremely versatile and comes in an exciting selection of styles, patterns, and colors. The most popular styles are found in the following four categories:
Texture The traditional, velvety look and feel evenly cut yarns, The surface varies from smooth to lightly or highly textured.
Twist Relaxed but elegant and sumptuous to the touch. A range of styles, from tightly twisted friezes to casual, nubby cables to a combination of both.
Loop Modern interpretation of hand-crafted styling. For distinctive areas, where you want sass and sophistication…without worry.
Pattern Almost an art form. Cut and uncut loops form distinctive sculptural designs, for decorating with originally and flair.
Fiber Types
The four basic fibers used today have their individual strengths, and each makes excellent carpet. Your choice will be determined by the most characteristics most important to you.
Nylon The most popular carpet fiber, nylon is preferred primarily for its strength-it’s incredibly durable and resilient. Because of its resistance to matting and wear, you won’t see visibly worn carpet path in even the busiest spots of your home. Nylon fiber is soft yet strong, shows color brilliantly, and cleans well. Though not inherently stain resistant, most nylons are treated with stain-resist treatment for protection against household spills and stains. And there’s a tremendous added bonus: nylon type 6 can be 100% recycled back into more nylon fiber (nylon type 6,6 cannot).
Polyester Appreciated for its versatility, polyester continues to grow in popularity. It offers exceptional softness, making it ideal for thick, cut pile styles. Polyester is also naturally and permanently stain and fade resistant. It has excellent color clarity, color retention, strength, and abrasion resistance. Carpets made from this fiber are easily cleaning and resist water-soluble stains.
Polypropylene, or Olefin
The use of polypropylene has grown dramatically over the past 10 years, due to the popularity of Berber-style loop carpets. Polypropylene is extremely resistant to stains, fading and moisture. A value-oriented fiber, polypropylene is also notably colorfast because it’s solution dyed, which means color is added during the fiber production.
Cushion
A highly-quality cushion is vital to the life and performance of your carpet, ensuring that it’s more comfortable and lasts longer.
A good cushion does these things:
- Absorbs most of the impact of foot traffic. Without it, the carpet pile and backing have to take all the pounding. This cushioning effect can add to your carpet’s lifespan.
- Creates a substantially softer, more comfortable walking surface.
- Insulates against the cold and minimizes noise.
When buying cushion, remember that a thick product is not necessarily better. A cushion that’s too thick can cause the backing to flex too much and can make the carpet too soft for comfortable walking and balance. A cushion with medium thickness and a medium to medium-high density is usually best.
Environmentally Friendly
Nowadays it’s green inside as it is outside-thanks to stylish carpets that are kind to the planet. Carpets of Anso® nylon have 25% recycled content and are 100% recyclable.At the end of their useful life, they’re processed and turned back into more beautiful carpet. Over and over again. With the same integrity of color performance, and fiber quality of carpet made with virgin fiber.
Anso nylon carpets carry CRT Flooring Concepts’s best, most comprehensive warranties. And the crowning touch is R2x®, CRT Flooring Concepts’s patented stain and soil treatment that offers unprecedented protection against the punishment of everyday spills an soiling. There’s no better stain and soil resistance system on the market.
Imagine all this in a carpet that’s eco-friendly, too. Then sink into the luxury while saving the earth’s resources.
Anso nylon. Green by nature. Fashionable by design.
GREEN is something we never forget.
For a trouble-free installation, here’s a checklist of things to do before the installer comes. Be sure to ask your flooring retailer if there are additional actions you must take before the installer’s arrival.
What to do before your New Flooring arrives.
- Make sure you know who’s removing your existing flooring. Sometimes the installer will do it. If not, you should make arrangements to have it removed.
- Who’s moving the furniture? Find out in advance if it’s your responsibility of the installer’s Either way, be sure to remove all fragile items from the room.
- Measure door clearances before you have a new flooring installed. If the new floor is thicker than your existing floor, door bottoms may rub. Plan in advance to have some shave or saw the correct amount off the bottom of each door so it does not drag.
- Paint first. If you’re planning to paint, wallpaper, or do any other remodeling in the room, try to do it before the flooring is installed. Keep extra paint to touch up and post-installation nicks.

Hard surface flooring has long been valued for its beauty and durability. In fact, tile and stone are probably the oldest forms of color covering known to man-ancient materials similar to modern tile and stone have been found on the bank of Egypt’s Nile River.
Today’s hard surface floors-hardwood, laminate, and tile of ceramic, porcelain and stone-offer that same beauty and reliability …plus much more. Fashionable finishes, extraordinary styling, high-tech construction-all combine to make floors that are nothing short of breathtaking.
Decorating with Hard Surface
Nothing says “welcome” like a hardwood floor. Glowing and timeless, it can last for generations. Harwood is valued for its beauty and durability, is easy to maintain, and is a rarity among flooring materials in that in most cases, it can be refinished. Although solid hardwood can go most anywhere in the home, it needs to be placed in rooms at ground level or above. An engineered floor can go virtually anywhere; however, it is not recommended that any hardwood be installed in bathrooms or rooms where high moisture levels are expected.
Hardwood
In hardwood design, we’ve gone way beyond smooth, narrow strips of oak. Attractive as this look is, there’s a lot more out there now. The newest trends in wood are handsome wider-width planks, and distressed and hand scraped surfaces, and domestic species like maple and hickory. You might even consider mixing woods, a design choice that’s growing in popularity.
It’s almost unbelievable how authentic today’s laminates appear-but believe it! There’s a fantastic selection, from stunning exotic and domestic wood looks to stained concrete and travertine looks wider, groutless planks. You’ll notice different laminate finishes, too: one is a glossy surface that’s very high-end; other surfaces are “hand-sculpted” or “distressed;” and many employ CRT Flooring Concepts’s Touchable Texture™, an embossed-in-register technology that follows and highlights that grain with results so realistic, you’ll be amazed. Beveled edges add pleasing authenticity to laminate planks, and CRT Flooring Concepts’s new Luminiere™ finish creates a strikingly upscale floor.
Laminate
In addition to being practical and pretty, laminates are easily installed. In fact, CRT Flooring Concepts’s unique LocNPlace® locking profile is literally a snap to put down. Nothing else installs so quickly and simply.
Tile is increasingly taking central position in the time. It’s time to take it out of the kitchen and bath-go ahead and out it in the living room with a dynamite rug, or in a Mediterranean-inspired bedroom. Stunning!
For the hot tile market CRT Flooring Concepts is constantly developing new looks and finishes and adding new products. As you shop, here are some basics to keep in mind:
Tile of either ceramic or porcelain is a mixture of clays that have been shaped and fired at high temperatures. In unglazed tile, the color runs throughout the body. Onglazed tiles, a glass wear layer is fused to the surface with tremendous heat. Porcelain tile, though it has a delicate beauty, is extremely dense and strong, providing a tight bond against moisture, frost, wear and breakage. For these reasons, it usually commands a higher price than ceramic tile. Natural stone tile, such as travertine, marble, slate, quartzite and granite, is a natural quarried product. Many ceramic tiles mimic the look of stone quite beautifully.
Trim and accent pieces are the “jewelry” of tile collections and the means by which your imagination can run riot. Glass, metallic, tumbled stone, decorative rust detail, raised listello …many intriguing detail pieces that enhance your design and make it unique. Sizes and shapes are varied-tiny for mosaic designs, mid-sized for spectacular wall and floor borders, and larger for unique configurations that go all over. Walls. Floors. Inside. Outside. Anywhere you want.
Environmentally Friendly
Environmentally Friendly Hard Surface
CRT Flooring Concepts’s environmental initiatives are numerous and progressive. The manufacturer developed the first 8” solid hardwood plank made 100% from recycled mill by-products. And the revolutionary EPIC® collection is ecologically advanced in two ways:
Besides being a beautiful product with great visual character, Epic hardwood has an unprecedented environmental story. Made with EnviroCore®, a high-density inner core constructed form recycled wood fibers, Epic hardwood flooring uses 50% fewer trees-that simply says for every 2 trees used to make conventional engineered flooring, it only takes 1 tee to make the same amount of Epic. As a result, Epic is the first Cradle to Cradle Silver Certified hardwood flooring product. Furthermore, all CRT Flooring Concepts hardwoods meet GREENGUARD indoor air quality requirements and are GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified
But Epic is not only an eco-friendly product, it’s beautiful AND it performs:
- Epic is strong and substantially more impact resistance than other engineered and solid wood flooring.
- It’s tougher-Epic with ScufResist Platinum resists water and scuffing up to 6 times better than competitive products.
- It’s stable-Epic won’t expand or contract as much as other wood flooring as season change.
- It’s denser-because of the EnviroCore, your floor should be more dent resistant and more forgiving.
CRT Flooring Concepts gives you permission to live on your Epic hardwood floors!
CRT Flooring Concepts laminates are an inherently good environmental choice in floor covering. They use up to 98% less newly harvested wood than conventional engineered hardwood products.
Green by Design
Engineered to last, laminate offers a long life span that minimizes replacement. While it stimulates the upscale look of a natural product like an exotic hardwood or natural stone tile, the actual material isn’t used and the natural resource is preserved.
In addition, CRT Flooring Concepts laminates are made with OptiCore™ -CRT Flooring Concepts’s laminate core board that’s strong, stable and moisture resistant. CRT Flooring Concepts laminates meet GREENGUARD indoor air quality requirements and are GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified. CRT Flooring Concepts partners with supplies committed to sound and forestry practices-an important step in helping balance ecosystem health by reducing the amount of timber harvested.
Tile & Stone
As more environmentally sound practices are developed, tile isn’t left out of the picture. CRT Flooring Concepts has products with 40% post-industrial recycled content. Both tile and stone can last a lifetime, which is a distinct environmental plus. Chic and eco-friendly-a powerful combination.
Decorating with Rugs
An area rung can bring drama to a room, adding color or spicy sizzle. Rugs are terrific to decorate with-they’re durable and easy to clean, and they can transform a room relatively inexpensively.
CRT Flooring Concepts Living, a division of CRT Flooring Concepts Industries, produces rugs unmatched in style, selection and value-with designs, colors and prices to fit your precise needs. If high style is your goal, look for CRT Flooring Concepts Living rugs by Kathy Ireland and Tommy Bahama. Or consider a bound rug from patterned carpet-a fresh trend that creates an impressive statement.
Most rugs in six approximate standard sizes: The best selling size is 8’ x 11’ . Special shapes and additional sizes, including exact footage runners, rounds, squares, and larger rugs are also offered.
2’ x 3’ 5’ x 8’
2’ x 8’ 8’ x 11’
3’ x 8’ 9’ x 13’
Rug Types:
Woven In a woven rug, the fabric is created by interlacing three sets of yearn across each other at right angles. Today’s woven rugs are woven on looms that can produce unlimited patterns, colors, and designs. Each rug is individually finished with latex backing to ensure pile lock, finished with edge treatment yarns, and inspected to ensure highest quality.
Printed Printed rugs feature pattern and color applied to the fabric, which is usually nylon. Our printed rugs provide multiple design options and colorations and offer fashion at affordable prices. The precision of CRT Flooring Concepts’s state-of-the-art ChromoJet printing system gives excellent design clarity with vibrant products.
Wools Wool has been used in floor coverings for as long as history has been recorded. There is an element of status, due in large part to its lasting inherent beauty and elite status. New Zealand wool is the most popular wool used today for its ease of dyeing, exceptional durability, natural stain resistance, and traditional elegance and beauty.
Environmentally Friendly
Nylon rugs from CRT Flooring Concepts Living are stylish, innovative, durable-and green. Made eco-friendly Type 6 nylon, these beautiful rugs are recyclable back into more fresh, beautiful carpet and rugs again, without performance loss or color limitations. And be sure to look for the Premiere and Natural Expressions products, which have recycled content, too.
