Wood
The elegant look of a hardwood floor can add warmth and character to any room in a home. The natural characteristics of wood add depth and a visual appearance that many other types of floors try to duplicate. As the consumer demand for hardwood floors has grown so has the manufacturer's ability to produce better quality finishes and superior construction techniques. With these advancements wood floors can now be installed throughout the home and over a wide variety of subfloors.
Today, homeowners looking to use wood floors have the option of purchasing three different types of wood flooring. Although the end results may look the same there are distinct advantages for using each type under different situations.
3/4" Solid Wood Floors
Engineered Plank Floors
Long Plank Floors
Once installed it is extremely difficult to tell the difference between a solid wood floor and the other wood floors. Both the engineered and the longstrip have thin layers of wood that are glued together. By gluing the plies together you get better dimensional stability within the plank itself, which allows these floors to be used on job sites that have a higher percentage of moisture content than normal. This includes basements and over concrete slabs where solid strip wood floors are considered off limits.
Ceramic
Ceramic tile is a natural product made up of clay, a number of minerals, and water. Glazed ceramic tile has a ceramic coating applied to the tile body, which gives the tile its color and finish. Glazed ceramic tile is the natural choice for your interior floors and walls. It is:
Durable - a property installed ceramic tile will outperform and outlast nearly any other floor covering product created for the same application.
Easy care – Glazed ceramic resists stains, odors, and dirt and can be cleaned up with a damp mop or sponge or common household cleaners such as Mr.Clean, Top Job or Spic and span.
Scratch resistant – Grade III and Grade IV glazed ceramic tiles are extremely resistant to scratching and you never have to worry about a cut or tear like you do with some other types of floors.
Environmentally friendly – ceramic tile is manufactured using natural materials and does not retain odors, allergens, or bacteria.
Beautiful and Versatile – modern ceramic manufacture ring technology has created virtually an unlimited numbers of colors, sizes, styles, shapes and textures that will add rich beauty and character to any room décor.
Fire Resistant – Ceramic tile doesn’t burn nor emit toxic fumes. A lighted cigarette, when dropped on the floor, even if allowed to site, will not do any damage to ceramic tile. Even hot kitchen pan or skillets will not scorch or melt the surface of glazed ceramic tile.
Water Resistant – most glazed ceramic tile has a dense body that permits little or no accumulation of moisture. The mean spills from common liquids found in a kitchen are not a big concern.
Marble
