101Flooring

Dogs, cats, kids, heavy-footed guests ... no floor is safe from destruction ... or are some? Today’s technology allows for a large variety of indestructible products, making it a great time to upgrade your floors. Wood and wood-look finishes continue to dominate the market. Faux looks keep impressing with tiles that replicate the look of wood or just about anything else you might want. The options seem endless but here are a few worth considering:

Engineered Hardwood

The designer-favorite flooring choice continues to be engineered hardwood and there’s a reason why. It’s the real deal but even better. It has a top layer of hardwood —that gives it its authentic beauty — followed by layers of plywood in alternating directions —that give it its durability. Designers stay true to the natural material and homeowners love its durability.

Luxury Vinyl Tile

Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is a vinyl-based material designed to mimic the look and feel of various materials such as wood, stone or ceramic. Believe it or not, LVT is a high-end product made better through technology and is becoming widely used in luxury homes. Made of several layers, it is highly indestructible and easily to replace or repair in the rare case it’s needed.
