Flooring for any home.
Carpet and Carpet Tiles
Nylon – is the most popular carpet fiber and is preferred because of its strength. It has exceptional resilience and retains its texture well. Nylon carpet fiber is soft yet strong, shows color brilliantly, and cleans well. Advanced generation nylons offer the latest in fiber technology and a built-in ability to conceal and resist soil and stains.
Polyester – is naturally stain and fade resistant. It has excellent color clarity, color retention, strength, and abrasion resistance. Carpets made from polyester are easily cleaned and resist water soluble stains.
Polypropylene (Olefin) – the use of polypropylene in carpet has grown over the last ten years due to the popularity of Berber style loop carpets. Polypropylene is extremely resistant to stains, fading and moisture. Polypropylene is also notably colorfast because it is solution dyed, meaning the color is added during the fiber production and not dyed later. Because it’s so resistant to moisture and mildew, it’s generally a good choice for both outdoor and indoor areas including playrooms, kitchens and dens.
Wool – was the original fiber for carpets. Wool is a tough fiber that can take a beating without losing its strength. Dust, dirt and oil-based stains come out easily because wool naturally releases the soil rather than absorb it. Because it is the most expensive carpet fiber, wool is generally used only in luxury carpets and area rugs.
Hardwood
Solid Hardwood is a true piece of wood with no ply core. It is typically 3/4” thick and offers the option to sand and refinish multiple times. Solid hardwood is available in pre-finished options as well as unfinished. Unfinished wood requires onsite sanding, staining and finishing after it has been installed. Pre-finished options are stained and finished at the factory but can also be refinished just like the unfinished version. Solid hardwoods are installed using a nail-down method. A glue and nail-down installation may be required for a wider plank selection. Solid hardwoods are rarely installed below grade due to the nature of their construction. It is best to install solid hardwood on a plywood substrate.
Engineered Hardwood is 100% wood. Its cross-ply construction allows installation below or above grade even over concrete. It resists expansion and contraction caused by temperature and humidity changes. Engineered flooring is typically glued-down, stapled-down or floated over an existing floor. It is manufactured by permanently bonding together multiple layers of solid wood in a cross-ply construction. Engineered hardwood is usually the only type of hardwood that is recommended for use below grade.
Resilient
Resilient flooring includes linoleum, vinyl and rubber products that have the ability to flex or “give” and are more forgiving with imperfect substrates. One of the key features of resilient flooring is the WATER RESISTANT and WATERPROOF characteristics that if offers.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) are higher end options featuring outstanding durability and fashionable styles. While these products were mainly created for commercial, high-traffic spaces, many brands have since introduced residential options - great for basements, kitchens, bathrooms and laundry/mud rooms. As LVT and LVP become increasingly popular, many builders and homeowners are now opting to install these products throughout the entire home. They are perfect for active families and those with furry friends! These products require no refinishing and are easy to replace. They are installed either in a glue-down format or floating installation.
