Is it wood? Or is it something else?

Is it wood? Or is it something else? Wood flooring has been around for a very long time. But unfortunately, wood flooring was not always possible. Wood does not do well on concrete. It can also be very pricey. But today, there are so many wood-like products. You can have the look of wood, without the problem wood flooring can create.

Owen Carpet Company

Vinyl Flooring - Great for mud rooms, or any room that has a high traffic area. Easy to install. They have strips of adhesive that attaches to one another.

Procida Tiles

Ceramic or Porcelain Tiles - These tiles look so real, it's hard to tell the difference. They even have hand-scrap wood tiles. Great for kitchens and bathrooms.

Lumber Liquidators

Engineered Wood Floors - They are resistant to higher moisture levels. They can be glued down, and can be applied over concrete slabs.  There is a layer of real wood on the surface. Once installed, it's nearly impossible to differentiate between engineered and the "real thing". That's what makes them so popular. They are also less expensive then real wood flooring.

Home Depot

Laminate Floors - Relatively easy to install. They can be use over concrete slabs. Less expensive then wood, but they are made of recycled wood fiber, so if they get wet, they will expand. Laminate floors have come a long way since their introduction. The quality is much better. Nowadays they have a much more realistic "wood" look to them.

Armstrong 

Wood Flooring - Wood, nothing beats the real thing. Otherwise, why would they try so hard to replicate it? What is it they say, imitation is the best form of flattery. Wood must be very flattered indeed!!

With all the different types of "wood" flooring there is, it's easy to find the look of "wood" flooring, in the selection you like, and at the the price that you want to pay!!

Wet Basement Problems?

Recently I was hired to come up with some design plans for a basement. The issue with the basement is, it sometimes gets flooded. So I had to come up with a viable solution. Carpet was no good, mold issue. Wood out of the question. Laminated floors, adhesive gets wet, making the tiles pop up. Floating floor, water will damaged the particle board. So what do you use for flooring?

Vinyl tiles or planks. Completely waterproof. Unlike conventional laminated floors, it won't swell or buckle in high humidity. And if you get flooded, you just pick up the tiles, let it dry and put them right back in!! What is the secret? It's an interlocking covering that is adhesive-free. Simply snap it together. No need to prep floors. No underlayments or moisture barrier. Simply put it over you old existing one. Damaged a tile? Simply pull up the tile and replace it. Easy to maintain, just damp mop using regular cleaners.
