Commercial Flooring - Wholesale or Retail ?

A wholesale flooring company expects that you'll need to buy more, and can offer commensurately lower prices because they get their stock direct from the factory. Wholesalers make their money on the volume of flooring material you need to buy, and on your repeat business.JFK Gym flooring finally installed. That's why it's important to choose your wholesaler carefully when buying flooring wholesale: you'll be buying a lot from them, so you need to make sure you're getting the value and service you need.

The Better Business Bureau's rating can tell you a lot about the supplier's business practices, whether any complaints have been lodged against them, and how those issues were resolved. You can find customer reviews of many companies online as well, which is important as you may not have friends or colleagues with experience with that supplier. If you find a wholesaler that seems reliable, arrange to pay a visit to their warehouse so you can inspect the quality of their flooring personally.

The supplier's selection should be varied enough to meet whatever traffic and design needs you have, and should consist of well-known and reliable brands. If a flooring wholesale supplier stocks an "exclusive brand" and purports to offer the lowest price on it, that claim doesn't mean much if they're the only one selling it. Often it's the flooring manufacturer - not the wholesaler - that backs the warranty on flooring materials, so make sure the supplier offers brands that you trust.
