Our carpet store has served Chicago, Evanston and the surrounding suburbs for more than 40 years. We offer a full mobile service to your home. We focus in new carpet and pad sales and installation, we do not offer carpet repair or restretching service. Because we are the distributor and the installer, we are able to provide high quality flooring at the best prices.
"I am so pleased with the help that we received from American Carpet Distributors! We had a burst pipe in our basement that got our carpet and padding wet. We had to throw out the padding but managed to save the carpet. Larry responded so quickly and was so easy to work with. He stopped by the house the same day I called him and took measurements to replace the carpet padding. A couple days later he sent out a very friendly and hardworking crew to replace the padding and lay our old carpet on top. It looks and feels brand new. I am so pleased that he was so promp to help. I feel like he was so fair in his pricing and that he wasn't pushy to sell me things I didn't need. The other carpet companies I called would only do the job if I bought new carpet (which I didn't need) or had a high minimum job payment. Larry saw that we really needed our basement back to working order and quickly helped us get that back. I am very satisfied and grateful!"

While Marmoleum offers many benefits, it does have some limitations to consider. The initial investment tends to be higher than some synthetic alternatives, and professional installation is strongly recommended for sheet and tile varieties. Though resistant to moisture, Marmoleum isn't completely waterproof and can sustain damage from prolonged exposure to standing water. Lastly, heavy furniture may leave indentations over time, and the surface finish may require occasional refreshing to maintain its appearance.
Marmoleum is a bit more expensive than standard vinyl flooring. While vinyl materials cost between $2 and $7 per square foot, Marmoleum starts around $4.75 per square foot but can cost upward of $12 per square foot. This price difference reflects Marmoleum's natural composition, sustainability, and potential longevity. Many homeowners consider the environmental benefits and durability worth the additional investment.
With appropriate care and maintenance, Marmoleum flooring lasts between 30 and 40 years. Several factors influence its lifespan, including installation quality, maintenance practices, and environmental conditions. The flooring performs best when protected from excessive moisture and heavy furniture is fitted with protective pads. Regular cleaning with appropriate products helps preserve the surface appearance and integrity over decades of use.
Marmoleum can work well in kitchens and powder rooms where moisture exposure is limited and spills are promptly addressed. However, it may not be ideal for full bathrooms with showers or tubs where standing water is common. In the kitchen, Marmoleum offers good durability against food spills and frequent foot traffic. To ensure Marmoleum flooring performs optimally and lasts longer, especially in areas prone to moisture, proper seam sealing during installation and consistent maintenance of its protective finish are crucial.
