The Basics


  • Can look like true hardwood or stone, yet generally less expensive
  • Extremely durable; good for an active household
  • Functions well in any room
  • Easy to maintain and resists staining
  • Uses a "floating floor" installation
    • Side seams are either glued together or are a "glueless" installation where the planks lock together. Both installations are floating floors.
  • Resists fading from sunlight




Floating Floor Installation
  • Comes in 2 plank sizes - 8" x 4' and 16" x 4" or in square tiles - 16" x 16"

  • More durable products
  • Extended warranties


Design Tips

  • Room Size - Remember that lighter colors will make a smaller room appear larger, while darker colors will absorb the light and create a more intimate setting.


Lighter

  • Color - choose a color that either coordinates or contrasts with your cabinets and other furniture.


What's Hot

  • The look of exquisite natural products with textured surfaces that give the floor dimension at a more affordable cost and easier maintenance.
