So much cool product, so little time. Between client meetings, estimates, space planning, code reviews, and mounds and mounds of related paperwork, you can’t possibly keep up with everything that’s out there. What’s a specifier to do” When you’re overwhelmed and need a little guidance on the latest and greatest in floorcovering options, call Gina Warren, Architectural & Design Specialist for Business Flooring Specialists. With her wealth of experience in The Biz and so many resources at her fingertips, she can provide you with multiple options and maybe even give you the chance to take five.
 

Gina is sassy and she knows her stuff. She must – she’s thrived in the interior design industry for over 18 years, and she shows no sign of slowing down. Previously this dynamo has worked both as a Sales Representative – “fuzzy side up” for Shaw Contract and, most recently, Tandus – and then on the distribution side as an A&D Representative for both Clifton Carpets and Dupont Flooring Systems. Can you tell this woman loves flooring”

After working with specifiers for almost two decades, Gina knows what’s important to design professionals when it comes to floorcovering product selections, and she wants people to expect a lot from her as a resource.

High on the list of specifier considerations are:

• product construction
• overall design / aesthetics
• long-term performance / life cycle considerations
• staying within budget
• acceptable product lead-time
• minimum decision time

Gina’s vast knowledge and experience with all types of flooring products make her an invaluable resource during the specifying mode. Her role and responsibility is total commitment to the design professional. Make life simple and streamline the process by calling Gina to the rescue.

What can she do to help you specify just the right flooring”

• based on your criteria and budget, narrow down choices from the multitude of different carpet manufacturers
• answer questions about and help choose the appropriate fiber, yarn system and backing options for a particular carpet application
• explain the appropriateness of other options such as marble, granite, wood, vinyl, VCT and linoleum
• take multiple samples of any flooring product to you for final selection and presentation
• offer LEED certified products to meet sustainability guidelines
• evaluate concerns and assist in decisions regarding existing floor conditions
• research answers to questions and solutions to problems that you don’t have time to figure out on your own
• provide sample library maintenance: 1) keeping the firm stocked with only current selections; 2) implement and maintain a “universal” color code pricing system for all of those many carpet binders that keep showing up on the shelves; 3) pick up cumbersome samples and get them out of the way when a project is complete

But what about all of your other sales representatives” Since Gina has been a devoted mill and product rep, she understands the affinity designers develop for them and their products. She knows how much designers would love to give each and every one an opportunity to submit their products for projects; alas, sometimes that just isn’t possible. When you only have 24 hours in a day and occasionally need 28, wouldn’t it be nice to call one source – specifically someone with an unbiased opinion – to help you”
