Are you installing new flooring this New Year? If yes, we are here to inform you about the flooring trends of 2012. Read below to find out what are the trends.

When it comes to installing flooring you need to choose flooring attractive to you and one that is durable for the type of activity that happens in your home. Never force a flooring to fit your lifestyle. Pick flooring that compliments your lifestyle.

Porcelain Tile

Porcelain tile is an excellent flooring selection because it is durable, cost effective and stylish. Porcelain comes in many sizes, colors and finishes. For example, if you want a tile that resembles marble and affordable, then a manufacturer can make a digital image of marble to place on the porcelain tiles.

Scraped Wood Flooring

Hand scraped wood has an excellent finish. It looks beautiful in any home and can endure rough behavior that can happen in a home from pets and children.

Engineered Wood Flooring

Engineered Wood Flooring is made of finished wood and plywood. This flooring has no problem with meeting high expectations for durability in high-humidity areas. It can be sanded and refinished. Engineered wood flooring can twist and wrap which allow it to stand up well in areas of moisture. This wood flooring can be used in both kitchens and bathrooms.

The Superb Benefits of Engineered Hand Scraped Flooring

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

Do you know what are the benefits of adding engineered hand-scraped flooring to your home? If you do not know the benefits, we are here to inform you! Read below to learn!

 

Engineered flooring has increased in popularity for the past few years. It used to be perceived as a sub-solid flooring product. Now it closely resembles genuine hardwood flooring. Both domestic and exotic hardwood flooring are available as engineered hardwood, pre-finished or unfinished.

 

What is Hand Scraped Flooring?

Hand Scraped flooring is a technique used to give hardwood a rustic appearance and it is an option for engineered flooring. Engineered flooring is appealing because the product is 100 percent hardwood but it does not expand and contract like a solid flooring. Since engineered flooring does not expand and contract, it can be placed above, on or below grade in a building.  It is able to do this because each board has three to nine plys of the same or different species. The Wear layer (the top layer) is of high quality hardwood. The plys are bonded together and the grain of every ply faces a different direction.
