You've seen 2010, check out 2011...

We are always looking for new legitimate ways to contact our customers with information that would be truly helpful. For us that consists of both those who have purchased from us previously, and those who are somewhere in the decision making process.

In Seattle we have saved the emails of most of our previous customers and just sent out the following email that we hope will be valuable to them (either personally or to a friend of theirs).

Our next step will be to revise the email for those potential customers who have not been in the store for awhile.

Hopefully something like this will be useful for you to create your own email - showing off our new flooring products. We are especially thrilled about the Strand and the Acacia products, but of course they are all great! If you would like us to send you the "pretty version" just email or skype one of us at the Seattle store and we will send to you.
Main body of email includes

"No matter what you lifestyle is this natural product has a place in your home. The natural color variations and grain patterns are gorgeous! As the floor ages, it is like a fine wine, it only gets better with age. The natural exotic wood enrichens and becomes beautiful with golden hues and a slight red undertone. Not to mention the natural dark stripping that is the best part of the wood and namesake characteristic. On the same token it is not an over bearing or design specific grain pattern and can go with every lifestyle from contemporary to modern. Thumbs up on the Terre Verte Tigerwood."

Why is that flooring my favorite?
"My favorite is the True Timber - Aged Hickory because I like the dramatic grains of hickory that look like real wood without the high end cost of real wood. It has an attractive pattern with a beautiful gloss shining on top. Being that it is a top of the line laminate floor it has the necessary density to avoid the hollow sound of most laminate flooring at a great price."

Confessions of Cork Fan

In Sacramento, California - close to UC Davis, a university nationally lauded for its commitment to environmental sustainability - we have a lot of customers committed to purchasing ‘green’ flooring. The products available to these customers are more varied and better constructed than at any time in our consumer history.

At simpleFLOORS, we make it difficult not to be green.

One sustainable choice that we’re questioned about a lot is our Enviro-Cork line. The appeal of cork is its calm, welcoming look and feel. Our choices are natural brown shades, reminiscent of driftwood, that coordinate well with both earth tones and brighter, cooler colors. Use it in rooms where you want a comfortable floor that will mature with your family.

In our Sacramento store, we’re all rabidly against carpet for both health and style reasons. We do have a lot of customers who have a hard time picturing any other type of floor in the bedrooms, mostly because it’s softer and warmer than hardwood. With that basis, I’d especially recommend considering cork floors for bedrooms. Cork is noticeably warmer and gentler on feet and joints than many floors, and also hypoallergenic, antifungal, antistatic, insect-resistant, mold-resistant, fire-resistant, and did I mention environmentally friendly? Because it’s a great insulator, cork flooring can even reduce heating costs in your home! Love it!

Keep in mind that cork choices with natural grains and tones are much better at hiding dust and any wear that does occur. Cork flooring is comparatively easy to repair. Any major damage can typically be filled with a natural-colored putty or just recovered with a polyurethane finish. It also can recover from impact; heavy furniture may leave a mark but once it’s moved, your floor will actually rebound to close to its original condition, typically within 24 hours. And it’s a click-together floor, similar to laminate, so installation is really as simple as possible.

One more thing I’d like to point out is the fact that the Library of Congress, the Mayo Clinic, and the New York City and Boston Public Libraries all have cork floors in busy, open-to-the-public areas, and have for years. Many Frank Lloyd Wright houses, including the iconic Fallingwater, employ cork flooring in a resolution to use sustainable materials evocative of nature. It’s a beautiful, renewable product that’s been time-tested in a variety of settings. Why not your house?

It's one strip, beveled edge planks really give it the appearance of an authentic hardwood floor, but also provides piece of mind knowing that at there are less risks with denting, dinging and scratching! Many attractive patterns and color tones, that all look very real once they are down, to me the mellow grain and color tones in the Cedar are aesthetically pleasing that's the main reason its my choice. Take a look there is a color or pattern for every one, even you!"

Why is this flooring my favorite?"I have many favorites but right now I am really impressed with the Brazilian Walnut French Bleed option for its aesthetics. I could not use this solid construction in my own home as I would need a more stable engineered version. I have a concrete floor and the solid would warp. That being said, the species of walnut used has amazing color variation, plank to plank. Part of what separates a wood floor from a plastic laminate is this natural variation in tones and grains. They are rich colors as well, some with Merlot hues, some with Chocolate, some with a Sage tone. When these are randomized throughout the room it is an inspiring view and creates comfort. This is the perfect floor to add the French Bleed (dark edge) element on all four sides.
The dark edging between the strips of wood which individually contain the variety of colors, creates the frame of separation between the planks allowing the colors to visually POP out of the planks."

"Is there another like our Saratoga? It is....the most beautiful wood I know! A wood that caters to any style and decor; be it a cabin or a multi million dollar home.

The reds...warm browns with honey undertones give it dimension. While the distress shows off the woods true beauty...dark knots wild in their truest form. Each piece

as if hand picked to pull together the most perfect plank. The length and width makes a bold statement to any office space or home..whether on concrete or subfloor.

A rubber cushion reduces creaks and the vibration from foot traffic. A solid wood respected by all species for its Janka.

"My wife and I really appreciate the floors you sent us. When we won the contest we expected to received a mid grade floor that would be serviceable but not top notch. What we got, was an absolutely beautiful set of engineered maple flooring that looks fantastic in our home. The floors arrived only two weeks after we were informed that we we were the winners. We installed it a week a later and had no problems at all. The floors layed down perfectly and makes our house look like a brand new.

Why is that flooring my favorite?
"As a designer, I look for a floor with diversity & character, that can fit into many decors. Our Heritage Reclamation Plank Prairie is highly adaptable, from Rustic Cottages to Old World Villas, French Chateaus to mountain cabins and exotic settings. Its statement can say traditional, transitional, or make a contemporary juxtaposition. It has the richest depth of warm neutral colors with a unique character and true vintage artistic design. More importantly, its look can stand up to even the most active lifestyles, and to top it off, it’s green! What else could you want?"
