Greg Meyers and Kacie Gelsinger are the father and daughter duo behind The Floor Trader Outlet, a locally owned flooring business, renowned for its quality, selection, price and customer service. The familyowned business has been around for over 20 years and is continuously growing to meet the incredible demand for new construction and renovations in Chambersburg and the surrounding areas. Their vision for the company was to provide a place for the community to purchase products that are the highest quality for the lowest price. Greg notes, “We really value the relationships we have gotten to build through this business, and we are excited to continue serving the community for years to come.”

Because they have ongoing relationships with their customers, the owners take particular pride in helping their neighbors achieve their desired outcomes. Kacie remarks, “We put tremendous focus on education and keeping up with what is happening in the industry to make sure we are offering our customers the best products we can! We know how important longevity is to any homeowner, and being able to give everyone the confidence in what they are installing in their homes is of the highest importance to us.”

Living In Place

Floor Trader Outlet’s kitchen designs focus on functionality, storage and “living in place.” When redoing your home, keep these few factors in mind:

• Eliminate transitions if possible or find floors where there can be a smoother transition. With carpet, use a rubber ramp underneath to transition to hardwood or tile. Also, look at the subfloor to help to reduce height discrepancies from room to room.

• LVP is a great option. Luxury Vinyl Plank can change the look from room to room and keep the same height. This type of flooring is good in wet conditions and can go

• Contrast is good. Contrast on your cabinets with pulls standing out from your cabinets so they are easily visible.

• Zero-barrier showers. Reduce trip points by installing a walk-in shower.

• Install grab bars in your showers, even if you don’t need them. They are great to have and look much better than they did 20 years ago.

• Pivoting toilet paper holders are a favorite as you will never have to worry about that pesky spring again.

• Cabinets with drawers! These are a favorite. A cabinet with drawers allows for you to reach everything without having to get on your knees and dig in the back of the cabinet. They are also great for containers and snacks, with the sides that let you fill each drawer up.

Even if you are looking to build, the team at The Floor Trader Outlet is happy to look over your blueprints and make recommendations to make sure you build a house that will be accessible for years to come!
