Types of Flooring
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring is harvested from trees that grow much slower; it ends up being far denser, and more durable than softwood counterparts. This means that they last longer and require less maintenance.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate floors are a hybrid floor covering consisting of a particleboard wood base topped by an image layer and a transparent wear layer. Laminate floors are a popular type of floor covering for homes' living areas, kitchens, dining areas, bedrooms, hallways, and other areas that are not subject to excessive moisture.
Vinyl/Linoleum Flooring
Linoleum's smooth, water-resistant surface is comfortable underfoot, and its natural ingredients shrug off dirt and bacteria, making it the floor of choice for hospitals, schools, and libraries. All that in an easy-to-clean, budget-friendly package that's priced comparably with higher-end vinyl but has green cred that newer material can't match.
Porcelain/Ceramic Flooring
Porcelain is a type of ceramic tile that is characterized by being stronger, harder, and even more water-resistant than ordinary ceramics—which are already quite durable. This inherent versatility gives ceramic tile the ability to provide a number of benefits as a flooring, such as durability and design flexibility.
Natural Stone Tile
Natural stone flooring is commonly used to create a sense of space. This is achieved through the seamless integration of both interior and exterior areas using the same material. Its natural properties allow it to catch and reflect the light to create an airy and light feel. The most common types of natural stone flooring are marble, travertine, limestone, granite, quartzite, slate, and sandstone.
Carpet Flooring
Carpet is a great choice for practically any room within your home! Carpet is well known for being warm, comforting and quiet. Maintaining the look of your carpet is easier than ever with today’s floor manufacturing technologies that have increased carpet’s softness, strength and stain-resistance. Carpet comes in a wide range of colors, patterns and styles allowing it to fit practically any design style.
