Are you tired of crummy carpet, cold tile, dirty grout. Is there anyone in your home suffering from allergies. These can be just a few things that may strike your interest in changing your floor covering. One of the oldest styles of floor overing in the industry has always been Hardwood Floors.
The hardwood floor industry has come a long way since the days of our parents and their parents. Hardwood floors now offer sp many different styles of wood flooring. From engineered wood that allows the consumer the chance to actually apply wood to a concrete slab by means of gluing. To pre-finished solid wood that can be nailed down and used in the same day at the same time offering long finish warranties. There are also engineered and solid floating floors. Some allow you to float right over your existing tile floors. Floating floors are not nailed or glued to the substrate, but they are placed over a padding and plastic.
To make things more exciting you can find almost any color or species on the planet. Remember, each species of wood has a different hardness factor. Your finish is as hard as what is under it. So if you have a harder wood then you'll have a harder finish. There are also many levels of flooring making it easier and affordable at the same time to help you make a choice for your home while considering your budget. The question is always asked, "Is it the same as carpet?" Our answer to that is there is no fair comparison. Wood can last you over a hundred years and as for your carpet, the average lifetime is approximately seven years.
There are many places available to get an education in flooring. One such place is Hardwood Floors Outlet. There are two stores, one in Upland, California and the other in the Temecula Valley located about an hour north of San Diego. Here this family ran specialty store that prides themselves on being on the cutting edge of the wood and laminate side of the flooring industry, Here, they feel that education is much more important than sales. |
