What 'Surplus' Means Regarding Surplus Building Materials
To find great deals, we often seek to purchase B grade flooring, also known as "seconds." B grade is basically a mix of "good" and "imperfect" tile, and all discount stores are selling B grade, whether they mention it or not. We like to be up front about it so everyone wins! It is usually thought of as 70-80% "usable" tiles per package/box, and possibly not the exact color match, bowed, or chipped to sell as A grade. With the right contractor, B grade is perfectly usable and can save you tons of money (i.e. $5.99/sq ft to $1.99/sq ft). Good contractors know to use chipped or discolored tiles in the closets and cut broken ones to use at the edges/under cabinets, etc. With a contractor who is not experienced with it, frustration may arise. Be sure to inform your contractor before purchasing the tile. We typically sell out of popular tiles with our loyal customer base seeking 2nd choice (B grade) for the incredible price difference--so we are not worried if it is not a good fit for everyone.
Besides seconds and surplus, we sell 1st choice in-stock merchandise at a discount, too!
