I opened Altima Tan 15 years ago and during the buildout I went to Barrington for our floor covering. Valarie was my sales rep and she researched several coverings that would not be affected by the UV light. She went as far as to get a letter from a manufacturer that guaranteed their product for 20 years. So, 15 years later, it's as shinny as the day it was installed. See pics.
So, today I called Barrington and to my surprise she still worked there. I was frustrated by having to repaint my deck every year. Rather than take a sale for some indoor/outdoor carpet, she told me to grin and bare it as the carpet would look nice, but would ultimately rote the wood.
If you are looking for sound advise on what or what not to purchase, at a price you can afford, she's your go to person.
