	........................................................ Questions related to non-skid padding ........................................................ Why you don't recommend non-skid coating to your floorcloths? Non-skid padding picks up unwanted dirt, sand, pet hair, gets tacky when wet and is not removable. Do you recommend attaching non-skid pad permanently to floorcloth? We don't recommend permanently attaching non-skid padding to the floorcloth. Non-skid padding, which is made of rubber, has limited life whereas our floorcloths last for decades. The life of a floorcloth attached with a permanent non-skid padding woud be only as long as the life of the non-skid rubber padding itself. We don't recommend rolling floorcloth with rubber-backing. If you store floorcloth with non-skid padding depending on the quality of the non-skid padding, rubber residue may permanently stick to the top surface of the floorcloth which will be difficult to remove.
	................................................................................... Questions related to showroom / studio /printed catalog ................................................................................... I am looking for a floor cloth and have been reviewing your site I notice that your phone number (like mine) has a 732 area code. I'm wondering if you have an office or store here where I could come see the designs. You don't mention one, but thought I'd check. I'd love to see the designs in person. thanks. Due to insurance requirements my studio is not open to visitors. Do you have a printed catalog you could mail me? We don't have a printed catalog, since I continuously add new designs to our gallery. All the designs I offer at this time are on my website. Our website is our online brochure. Do you have a showroom? Sorry, we don't have a showroom.
	.................................................... Questions about the custom orders .................................................... Do you make custom made floor cloths? Could I send you fabric samples from the room. I am interested in the toile rug. I need 3 rugs. They are for a kitchen. We do a lot of cooking, and I would like to know if a cloth rug would be sturdy enough in front of stove, sink , dishwasher etc We do make custom designed floorcloths. Our floorcloths are designed for high traffic use. The finish on the floorcloth is water/stain resistant. Floorcloths are perfect for kitchens as long as you don't leave puddles of water on it. Looking for a 6' round or square. do you have anything available? I can make 6' square floorcloth with any design. Generally, round floorcloths are not recommended because their edges cannot be folded. Eventually, they are likely to curl up and/or fray at the edges. I am interested in purchasing a floorcloth for my livingroom. The designs on your webpage are beautiful. It is difficult, however, to tell by the pictures if the colors would compliment or fight with my furniture. If I am interested in having a custom cloth made, could I send you a fabric swatch so that your artists could select the colors that would compliment my current color scheme? Yes, you are right. In order to match the colors of the floorcloth with your living room, I would need swatches of fabric, curtains, wall colors, and color of the floors. Based on your swatches, I will mail you color samples on canvas for your approval.
	...................................... Concerns about floorcloth ...................................... We love your floorcloths - what is on the back of the floorcloth to hold it secure on my oak floor? We recommend the use of rubber-backing, available at most home-improvement or carpet stores. I am extremely interested in one of the beautiful floor cloths that you offer and am wondering how they stay on the floor and not slide around like a cloth? Is there any rubber backing on them? Floorcloth will not slide or move if you use non-skid rubber pad (rug gripper), available at most home-improvement or carpet stores. This provides an additional grip and reduces wear and tear. Can you make a black and white checkerboard with a black border, runner, for a laundry room? Would it hold up in a laundry room? We can make floorcloth with black and white diamonds with black border. Design village floorcloths are water resistant, they will hold very well in a laundry room. Your floor cloths are just stunning! Can they be used as stair treads? If so, how would I attach them to the stairs? Floorcloth runners can be installed on stairs using stair rods. Can your floorcloths take a beating as a runner for a heavily trafficked area, where people will be walking through the door with their winter boots (although the boots will be deposited inside a nearby bench)? Our floorcloths are designed for high traffic area. The finish the floorcloth is water/stain resistant. We recommend the use of non-skid rubber pad (rug gripper), available at most home-improvement or carpet stores. Nails sticking out of ladies high heel dress shoes may, however, cause scratches. Can floor cloths be vaccumed easily? Yes, floorcloths can be vacuumed, even daily. How do they hold up in high traffic areas? (e.g., foyer) 2) My kitchen floor is tiled (badly) so the grout lines are below the tile. If I use a thick rubber mat, would that be sufficient t (I realize the floor needs to be perfectly flat). The care of a floorcloth is as easy as vinyl or hardwood floors. If it's soiled, just use a damp mop. Regular vaccuuming is recommended. The 5 layers of varnish protect the painting and provide an extremely durable surface. Floorcloths are not recommended for use over carpet, but are designed for use on hard, even floors. For tiles with deeper grout lines we recommend use of non-skid rubber mat plus felt pad. I was curious what the lead time is on your floorcloths? Also, how are they packaged for shipping? Finally, how long can I expect it to hold up in a high traffic area (my kitchen...with kids!!)? Is there a warranty? We pack our floorcloths extremely well so they don't get damaged in transit. Our floorcloths are rolled in a plastic coated paper and rolled around a 4" tube. Then it is double wrapped in plastic bags. Finally it is packed in a corrugated Box (200lb Test) with packing peanuts. We have been making/using floorcloths since 7 years. They hold very well in high traffic areas especially the kitchen, foyer, etc. There is no warranty on the floorcloth.
