Most of us have heard that wise saying by Ben Franklin ”The ­bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” And many of us have actually ­experienced it– sadly for some, more than once.
Al Ekiner, owner of Fancy Carpet in Oakville, is one of the few people who can honestly say that none of his ­customers have ever experienced the ­bitterness of poor quality. That is because he prides himself in offering only the ­highest quality flooring at fair, competitive prices. And, ­because he does all his ­installations ­himself, he can guarantee the best ­workmanship too.
Al has been in the flooring business for over 48 years and has a long list of happy customers. “I have dozens of customers who have been coming to me for the entire 48 years” says Al proudly.”As I always say, first quality doesn’t have to cost more. We take the time to source only the very best manufacturers. Our customers can trust that we only offer the very best ­products” he adds.
Fancy Carpet is truly a family run business. When Al is on an installation, you will find his charming wife, Seval running the shop.
Many customers have come to Al after being disappointed by low priced flooring. “People get excited when they see laminate flooring advertised for 99cent/sq ft” says Al, “but the flooring is only 7 or 8mm thick. The boards don’t last long, they bounce up and down when you walk on them, you have to put an underpad below them and they creak and make noises. And don’t even think about spilling water or walking in high heels because you will quickly wreck them” he adds.
Al believes that everyone should enjoy their home and not have to worry about their ­flooring. “It doesn’t cost much more for quality, yet lasts for decades and looks wonderful”, he says.
He invites everyone to come in and take a look at three amazing flooring products – all 100% waterproof, super scratch resistant and ­guaranteed for 50 years! They are available in a variety of trending colours. The luxury vinyl plank by Vanntett comes with an ­attached engineered cork underlayment. The Loft collection features real wood on top with laminate underneath. This gives you the beauty of real wood with the resilience of laminate. Both these products are proudly made in Canada by Canadian Standard. The third brand is Naf, a ­European laminate that is considered the best on the market.
Fancy carpet also offers eco friendly products made by Coronet, Kraus and Mohawk Smart Strand and boasts one of the largest selection of carpets including area rugs. And there is also a good selection of ceramic tiles.
