Blog > A Number with Meaning: 50 Years of Design, Craft, and Community
Monday, January 29, 2026
Fifty years is more than a milestone.
It’s a measure of trust.
It’s the story of families growing, homes evolving, styles shifting, and craftsmanship holding strong through every trend, renovation, and design revolution.
As Floors USA celebrates 50 years in business, we’re looking back at where we’ve been—and how those five decades have shaped the way we help homeowners choose beautiful, lasting floors today.
This isn’t just an anniversary.
It’s a reminder of everything a number can hold: experience, evolution, and a commitment to community that only grows stronger with time.
When Floors USA first opened in 1976, the world—and the flooring industry—looked very different. Homes were smaller, trends came and went faster, and most retailers carried only a fraction of what today’s homeowners expect.
A lot has changed, but one thing hasn’t:
Floors USA has always been family-owned, community-rooted, and built on the belief that great service starts with great people.
Generations of families in Montgomery County and beyond have shopped with us—not because we just sell floors, but because they trust the experience, the expertise, and the people behind the name.
If there’s one thing five decades have taught us, it’s that flooring isn’t just functional—it’s fashion, personality, and a mirror of its time.
Here’s how floors—and homes—have evolved over the last half century.
The decade was bold:
Homes were cozy, warm, and full of texture.
Floors got glossier, shinier, and more glamorous.
Oak was everywhere, and tile made big inroads into kitchens and foyers.
Durability met affordability. Laminate exploded, giving homeowners wood-look floors that were easier to maintain.
Bamboo, Brazilian cherry, and other exotics became popular.
Wide-plank hardwoods started making their mark.
Nothing transformed the industry like LVP/LVT:
Suddenly, homeowners could have the wood look they loved—without the worry.
Design shifted toward organic minimalism:
Homes today are all about comfort, flow, and timelessness—floors that support a busy life, not complicate it.
And as we step into 2026, these trends continue to evolve.
The last five decades have reshaped not just what floors look like, but how they’re made, how they perform, and how people shop for them.
Floors USA has invested in these innovations every step of the way — which is why our showroom is one of the largest and most comprehensive on the East Coast.
A half century in flooring gives you perspective — on design, durability, and what homeowners truly need.
Here are some of the lessons that have shaped our approach:
✓ The right installer is as important as the right product.
✓ Craftsmanship determines longevity.
✓ Trends matter — but timeless wins every time.
✓ Wide planks make spaces feel larger and more modern.
✓ Pets change everything — choose floors that match real life.
✓ Waterproof isn’t a trend. It’s a necessity.
✓ Good floors elevate the whole home.
✓ You should love your floor every single day — not just on install day.
✓ A great showroom experience beats online guesses.
✓ When in doubt, bring home samples.
✓ Value is about longevity, not price.
Five decades later, these principles still guide the advice we share with homeowners every day.
As we step into Floors USA’s 50th anniversary year, we’re not just looking back — we’re looking forward.
And we’ll be here for it — helping homeowners navigate the options, choose the right styles, and create the homes they love.
A Community Milestone Worth Celebrating
Floors USA has been part of The Delaware Valley for 50 years — a partner in renovations, new builds, first homes, dream homes, and everything in between.
From families choosing carpet for a nursery to couples upgrading to hardwood, to contractors designing commercial spaces, the last five decades have been built on trust, loyalty, and relationships.
This anniversary isn’t just ours.
It belongs to the community that supported us, the partners who stood with us, and the customers who let us be part of their homes.
As we begin this anniversary year, we’re celebrating with:
And of course — the same service, craftsmanship, and expertise that brought us from 1976 to today.
Whether you’re choosing a new floor, planning a renovation, or simply seeking inspiration…
It’s worth the trip.
