When you’re looking for new floor covering for your home or business,, it’s best to find knowledgable help when making your selections.
Ken Cuningham, the new General Manager of Northern Flooring & Interiors? new general manager in Lake Orion has that knowledge.
‘I personally have over 40 years of experience in the floor covering industry. My father owned a floor covering business in Ashville, North Carolina,? Cuningham says.

Northern Flooring and Interiors is one of the exclusive dealers of Karastan brand fine carpets in the area. ‘We are proud to be one of the few dealers in Metro Detroit to meet Karastan’s high standards,? Cuningham says.
According to Cuningham, Karastan is one of the best carpets sold. ‘They use only premium quality nylon and wool and they have the best backing in the industry.?
Carpet designs change every year with manufacturers offering new designs to entice the potential client. The latest trend is soft yarn.
Products manufactured with these yarns are incredibly luxurious, without sacrificing durability. The original intent of soft yarn was to give customers the look and feel of wool with the durability and value of nylon. It has been a tremendously successful innovation!!
Also, Cuningham says Northern Flooring and Interiors is expanding into sales of area rugs because of the amount of hardwood flooring sold at the store. ‘Most people will want a rug for their seating area when they install hardwood,? Cuningham says.
Northern stocks many different styles and colors of area rugs. It can also manufacture custom designed area rugs to the customer’s specifications from the many carpeting styles and colors available.
