American manufacturing has a myriad of benefits not only for your daily life, but for your local community, our country, and the planet.

For the month of July, we are holding a 10% sale on ALL of our American-made products. This is our biggest sale yet, since it covers all flooring types and several manufacturers, so don't miss this deal!

Check out these 5 valuable reasons to shop American-made:

1. Higher Quality Standards

Let's say that you are buying a desk.

If you buy one made of "mixed material" from Amazon, you know that it will last you maybe a few years, but won't be able to hold as much weight, could be unstable (speaking from experience), and may not survive a move.

Now, let's say you decide to buy a wooden desk from a local furniture store instead. You can actually see and touch it before you decide to make a purchase. You might spend more that day, but your dollar will stretch further because a desk built with quality materials and craftsmanship is strong, durable, and will last for decades.

The same principle applies to flooring and tile. U.S. manufacturing is held to stricter quality control standards, so you can trust that your hard-earned money is well spent.

"Being a domestic manufacturer means we can truly understand the raw materials that go into our flooring. In fact, we understand every part of our flooring production right down to the energy required to make it. Because we can actually see and feel the product at every step in its production, we can guarantee consistently reliable products and delivery times." (blog.manningtoncommercial.com)

2. Faster, More Reliable Shipping

Naturally, domestic products usually ship faster and are less likely to have delays or discrepancies, which helps renovation projects stay on schedule.

For example, many of our manufacturers like Shaw, Mohawk, and Mannington are based in Georgia, so they are able to ship products in days rather than weeks. We are proud to work with domestic manufacturers that provide us with real-time updates on orders and have expansive networks of distribution facilities across the U.S.

No more headaches over supply chain issues or tariffs!

3. Provides Jobs & Supports Our Economy

When you shop American-made, you're supporting your local economy, your fellow Americans, and future generations.

Flooring and tile distribution centers here in the States supply thousands of American jobs, not to mention the many careers in sales, administration, and customer service they help sustain. So, when you choose flooring - or really ANY product - made in the USA, you are making a difference.

"Domestic production keeps millions of Americans employed in skilled trades, engineering, assembly, and packaging. For example, manufacturing contributed $3.7 trillion to the U.S. economy in 2023. It also creates revenue that can be invested back into the community through corporate social responsibility efforts."

4. Lower Environmental Impact

If you weren't patting yourself on the back before, now you really can because along with supporting our local economy, you are saving the planet when you buy American-made!

Shorter shipping distances mean reduced carbon emissions AND stricter environmental guidelines. We are so grateful to the companies that commit to reducing our carbon footprint by shipping within the U.S.

5. Stricter Safety Regulations

In our showroom, we highlight the safety certifications of our materials because we want you to feel confident that the flooring in your home or business is as safe as possible for you, your family, and our community.

All of our products must meet rigorous guidelines for slip resistance, flammability, structural integrity, sustainability, VOC emissions, etc.

For example, all of our luxury vinyl products are certified by FloorScore, Greenguard or both, which means that they are safe for indoor use (limited VOC emissions) and won't negatively impact the air quality of your space.

Choose safer for your family
