Type Distressed flooring and hand scraped vintage style hardwood flooring is one of the more popular styles of authentic styled hardwood flooring available today.Add heritage, character and history to your home with this exceptional and unique distressed hardwood flooring. Laminate's powers of impersonation allow you to get the look and feel of rare, exotic wood with no natural material drawbacks. One of the latest products in the wood flooring market, imported exotic bamboo flooring has some remarkable qualities. As hard as Hard maple, 50% more stable and harder than Red Oak. Made from grass, not wood, bamboo flooring is a grass (with more than 1,000 species-worldwide), it rejuvenates itself to maturity within 4 to 5 years, thus being an environmentally friendly product by helping preserve our forest. The finished wear layers of pre-finished hardwood floors are far superior to any finish that can be applied during the construction of your new home, or the remodel of your existing home. Factory applied finish coats are more resistant to abrasion, and will not show swirl marks, hairs, dust, and other imperfections often associated with "from scratch" hardwood flooring. Micron-beveled edge has the shallowest groove. Micron-bevel and micro-bevel are so close that between manufacturers they may be hard to determine any difference. These products have a very distinctive deep groove in them. Beveled edge planks lend themselves to an informal and country decor. With the urethane finishes applied at the factory today the beveled edges are sealed completely making dirt and grit easy to be swept or vacuumed out of the grooves. Engineered flooring is made using a cross ply veneer construction using 5 plies of hardwood veneer. This is the most stable construction of all wood floors that we know about on the market today.

Cork floors are a wonderful floor covering for those who desire a very different look along with comfort underfoot. Cork flooring is available in many different styles, colors and patterns. Unlike most of today's machine-distressed flooring, no two planks are alike and each bears the signature of the proud craftsman who created it.

Though unfinished floors may involve more hands-on work for the sanding and finishing, it allows the homeowner a wider selection of finishes to create the most beautiful floor conceivable. The edges of all boards meet squarely creating a uniform, smooth surface that blends the floor together from board to board. The overall look of this floor gives a contemporary flair and formal feeling to the room. The eased edge has a slightly shallower groove than the full beveled edge. Some manufacturers add the eased edge along both the length of each planks as well as along the end joints, this will give the floor a different visual effect when installed. Solid wood flooring, by definition is any type of wood, regardless of width or length, which is comprised of one piece of wood from top to bottom. It is nailed down to 3/4” exterior grade plywood and is appropriate to use in any room in the house. It can either be factory finished (pre-finished) or unfinished (sand-on-site). |
