Gym floors like never before

Posted in Advice at 8:34 am by Administrator

If you aren’t using one of the K-series applicators, you don’t know how much time you can save. Just look at it!

There are two valves on the K450 and one of the K100 and 200. These gently drain the finish onto the floor with minimal splash. It’s actually cool to watch an expert use this. Wish I had a video to attach here, but I don’t.

Oh, I almost forgot. If you buy one of these today, we’ll give you two free refills for it. There’s really no reason not to have one if you do a lot of floor finishing. You’re going to find it so easy to use and a real time saver.

10,000 cleats is a lot and we’ll ship them free

Posted in Advice, Equipment at 8:07 am by Administrator

Today’s special is free shipping of cleats and nails when purchased in the proper quantity.

The United States Post Office has been running commercials on television about their new boxes and how if you can make it fit, they can ship it. Floor Style is taking advantage of that. We can fit cleats and staples into those boxes. If the USPS knew how heavy 10,000 cleats are, they might reconsider.

True, only the cleats come 10,000 to a USPS box, the staples, just because of the way they are bent only fit 9,600 or 7,700, depending on length, in a USPS box, but still, that’s a lot.

Try sitting down and counting to 7,700 before someone tells you to get up and do something. It ain’t going to happen.

One other thing needing mentioning here is our phone numbers. Barb called yesterday because she read about the special on the edger disks for $49.99. But she called the 800 number when she really wanted the 866 number. Not that the sales associates at the 800- number couldn’t help her, they could, but she was used to dealing with the Baltimore people. I think she has a rapport with someone there. So here the numbers are:

800.767.8953 Great Lakes Region
866.767.8953 Eastern Region
877.767.8953 Western Region
888.767.8953 Florida and surrounding states

But don’t feel obligated to call the location nearest you. We have good people at every branch and we’ll find the most inexpensive branch to ship your product from.

Slap yourself on the forehead day

Posted in Advice, Equipment, Parts at 8:48 am by Administrator

Yesterday went just fine as sales go, phones were busy, lots of orders going out the door or onto the UPS trucks. Everyone was enthusiastic and the mood is brighter now that we’re into March and sales are climbing rapidly. And everyone is happier…except me.

First thing I did this morning when sitting down to work is slap my forehead. It made a marvelous slapping sound. I’d forgotten about the Buck-a-Bulb Day I’d planned. I really wanted it to be yesterday, as Monday is always the best day for that sale. Edger bulbs go out on almost every order, because there are thousands and thousands of Clarke B-2, B-2+, Super 7 and Super 7E edgers and toe-kick edgers out there in need of replacement bulbs.

But I was a day late. I slapped my head. It left a a handprint.

We are having the sale today. $1 for replacement edger bulbs. Even less if you’re a Buyer’s Club Member.

What’s this? You don’t know about the Buyer’s Club?

The Buyer’s Club is a program offered exclusively by Floor Style Products, Inc. It is designed to help all hardwood flooring contractors to save hundreds of dollars every year. Club Members will save at least 10% off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price on all products sold at FSP, along with a 5% discount on labor rates. Club members are also offered unique discounts at least 12 times a year on the monthly Buyer’s Club Specials. These are products or services specifically chosen for just our Buyer’s Club members.

If you buy regularly from Floor Style, this is a Club you want to be a part of. Ask your sales associate about it when you call for your Edger Replacement Bulbs.

This month the Buyer’s Club Specials are the EHIP1 or 2 Distressing Scrapers. These are NOT the run of the mill scraper you have in your back pocket. These are specially designed, well-crafted scrapers for distressing a floor. Distressing a floor is the latest rage in hardwood flooring and becoming more popular. You might want to look into it.
