Now You Are Asking My Kinda Question!
If you know anything about ReallyCheapFloors.com you know that we are a true flooring liquidator. We work directly with the 3 largest hardwood flooring manufacturers, as well as some of the larger LVP factories, to move whatever inventory that they need help moving. Sometimes it is overstocks or discontinued goods, while at other times it is lower graded flooring or even seconds. Whatever they need an outlet for, they send to us. That is how we can sell hardwood flooring and rigid vinyl planks and tiles for half the price of everyone else.While we already have the best prices around for hardwood flooring, you can save even more money by taking advantage of our incredible specials! These discount flooring specials are the perfect way to make your home look fantastic while getting a tremendous deal on your purchase! Here are the top 4 ways that you can take advantage of our hardwood flooring specials:
1. Special Flooring Deals
We are always looking for opportunities to offer big savings on first quality, running line hardwood and lvp flooring. In the wood business the larger companies use the whole tree, as opposed to smaller companies that buy graded lumber (at a higher cost). When the entire log is used the result will be made up of all the different widths and grades of flooring. It is the responsibility of the sales department of these manufacturers to sell all of these different flooring options. But due to market conditions, demand, and availability, bottlenecks are common. What we do is to make a deal with a company to take all of the slower-selling group of products at a lower price. This allows them to better forecast their costs on the more popular grades and widths of flooring. It is difficult for a wood manufacturer to make any money if a third of his inventory is sitting in a warehouse long term.
As an example, right now we are buying huge amounts of 3 1/4" width prefinished solid Hickory flooring from Bruce and offering it at the lowest price of any retailer in the country. How can we do that? Bruce has a box store that will take all of the 5" that they can produce. However, when they saw their lumber they get a certain percentage of 3 1/4. So that 3 1/4 plank has to go somewhere, so we made a deal to buy it. Currently we are offering this smooth American Home Hickory in 2 colors, Natural and Prairie, at $2.99 sq ft:
We also have 2 great colors of the same Hickory flooring but in a hand-scraped version at $3.99:
These floors are perfect examples of our Special Deals. And there are several others. Look at our PineLog LVP collections to see some great visuals on high-end LVP flooring....at half price!
2. Our Warehouse Sales Are The Ultimate In A Flooring Sale
Each month, in both our NC locations as well as our Dalton warehouse, we open our warehouses to the public for an opportunity to help us clean out flooring inventory that needs a push. It might be because we ordered too much, or because something isn't selling as well as we need it to. More likely, one of our partners has something big in the system that is headed our way and we need to clear out inventory to prepare for it. Because we are flooring liquidators, we do not always have much say about what we are getting, or when, or how much! When we lower prices on our products, it will always happen at the beginning of a Warehouse Sale. If you do not live close enough to take advantage of our special deals in person, please do not hesitate to call one of our salespeople and they will be happy to help you find the best deal on hardwood or vinyl plank flooring.
3. Small Lots of Floors
Another one of our flooring promotions is our Small Lot liquidation. Because our manufacturing partners send us different sized lots of products, we sometimes get loaded up with small lots of flooring. Small lots of floors are a little more difficult to sell as they are not big enough for every customer. So what we do is mark that lot as a Take All, meaning that it cannot be broken into smaller amounts, then we mark it down aggressively. That allows our more savvy customers (especially landlords and flippers) to buy these flooring lots for an absolute bargain. And it keeps us from choking on them! You will see these promo hardwood and vinyl flooring products get introduced or discounted at each of our monthly Warehouse Sales.
4. Lower Graded Products
Earlier in the blog we talked about the fact that a manufacturer of hardwood flooring will yield different widths and grades of lumber during the milling process. Generally, hardwood flooring is produced in 3 grades: First quality or Standard, Builder, and Cabin. Depending on the grading parameters that each manufacturer sets for their standard flooring product, the Builder and Cabin grades will usually make up about 5% of the total output. So in every million square feet of flooring that the mill makes, approximately 50,000 will be Builder and another 50,000 in Cabin. Where does this flooring go?
Box stores are not interested in products that are not readily available, and the factories will not accept backorders on fallout products. So they send them to us!
At ReallyCheapFloors.com we sell huge amounts of these fallout grades. Since Cabin grade flooring will sell for around 75% less than the standard flooring option, you can see that there are some serious savings available. And the Builder and Cabin grades will feature the exact same polyurethane finish with aluminum oxide. In our engineered SKUS from Somerset, our Blue Label floors are made using the same 8 ply hardwood core, so the quality is high. It's the grading that is low. Expect lots of short flooring boards (under 12 inches), as well as natural and manufacturing defects in our Cabin grade. Estimate 90% usage on our Cabin grade products.Builder grade floors will be very similar to the Standard grade, but at half price. The Builders floors are typically defined as having missed a specification. Maybe the dye lot of the stain didn't match the Standard close enough. Or the gloss level. Either way you can get a deal on a quality floor buying our Builder grade flooring.
5. Factory Returns
With one of our partners we have a deal where we take all of their returns, nationwide. Whether is from a customer that changed their mind or a slight blemish, these flooring products are shipped to one of our locations where we inspect it, re-grade it, and mark it down. Now it is ready for you!
