November 2, 1994 ADVERTISING FEATURE By Stephanie Henderson n ces e utm im s t Speers Road Broadloom, everyâ€" thing is laid out at your fingertips â€" literally. In the exciting 10,000 square foot Speers Road showroom which faces Lansing Lumber, you can see and feel your options; from formidableâ€"looking megaâ€"rolls of qualâ€" ity broadloom to eyeâ€"catching Indian and Persian area rugs as richly tinted and artfully decorated as they are functional (and because they‘re purchased directly from the manufacturer, the store is able to offer some truly exotic colors and styles). The clean, wellâ€"organized space is due to the fact that the building was "built to be a carpet store," 11 years ago, although the owners have been in the business here since the 1960s. Today, Speers Road Broadloom has covâ€" ered floors in numerous schools, churches, new and existing homes and businesses throughout Oakville, including the municiâ€" pal council chambers, the Oakville Waterfront Festival headquarters, and classâ€" rooms in Appleby College. Hardâ€"toâ€"find wool rugs, textured and multiâ€"colored berbers and other specialty products are also found here, in addition to premium quality vinyl tiles and a rainbow of vinyl flooring systems. And if you‘re under the impression that a store this size caters to big jobs, sweep that idea under the carpet â€" each piece from the everâ€"changing selection of remnants is neatâ€" ly tied, and clearly sized and priced, so carâ€" peting that chilly powder room can be Quality and service â€" at your fingertips accomplished for less than you‘d think. "Nobody stocks carpet the way we do. We have the largest inventory of broadloom in town â€" by a long shot," promises store manager, Carl French. "And we make it our business to know that we have the best prices. If you don‘t do a good job and have a good price, people will go elsewhere." The "Mannington Premier Flooring Showroom" that dominates an entire wall near the entrance is another handsâ€"on feature of which French is particularly proud, with its product information displays including video terminal. The store holds the distinction of being the only Mannington between here and Niagara Falls. The store‘s dealer status with the manufacturer permits he and his staff to offer special pricing, and an unusually broad selection of Mannington flooring products. And as a Dupont Master Store, French has similar options for popular Dupont prodâ€" ucts. "Even if other stores sell Dupont prodâ€" ucts, they can‘t give the same warranties that we can, under the MasterLife program, for example," notes French. MasterLife" products are marketed as a "breakthrough in fiber technology" â€" the rugged nylon fibers are up to 33 per cent bigger than standard fibers, for durability and wear. The products receive treatments which the manufacturer says offers lasting stain protection through repeated cleanings. There are four warranties â€" for retention, stain resistance, soil resistance and the carpet‘s antiâ€"static quality. They‘re available in 70 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER 6 colors, in textured or plush styles, and prices are "very low" right now, French says. Mannington‘s and Dupont‘s trust is a tesâ€" tament to his team‘s professionalism and experience, French asserts. "There is only one Dupont Master Store for every 40,000 households in North America, and because we‘re so well estabâ€" lished, we carry all of the major Canadian lines â€" Coronet, Peerless, and Harding. "The better companies choose who they want to deal with." In addition to great products and upâ€"toâ€" date information from manufacturers, answers to practical questions are also withâ€" in reach â€" French and his professional sales staff are industry veterans, who have made their living selling floor coverings for many years. They offer inâ€"home consultation and measurement, and 48â€"hour installation, including carpet removal and disposal, and subflooring installation, if required. "This is the only job I‘ve ever had; 25 years of selling carpet. Our installers are the same way; most of them have been working here for years," he says, noting that impropâ€" er installation can affect warranty status. "We get lots of word of mouth referrals. We want to build longterm relationships with our customers, because we‘re in this for the long haul." As anyone who‘s had a bad experience buying floor coverings will tell you, it‘s best to go with the pros.
