Armstrong Laminate Flooring: A Healthy Alternative

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Armstrong laminate is widely acknowledged as one of the best laminate floors in the business. Armstrong floors are designed for intense durability with a natural wood or stone appearance. However, Armstrong laminate flooring isn’t actually made from wood or stone; instead, an image of wood or travertine stone tile is applied to a special composite plank and then sealed to give it a natural, integrated appearance.

Although laminate flooring looks natural, its cleanliness far surpasses any natural material. While most wood floors have cracks and crevasses between the boards that make it almost impossible to get the floor fully clean, Armstrong laminate flooring is seamless. By simply running a vacuum over the surface of the floor you can feel confident that you are doing your part to keep your house allergen free.

Travertine Stone Tile

Of course, there is also the traditional carpet alternative: stone tile. Travertine stone tile comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes, but also features great adaptability of installation. It can easily go either inside or outside, replacing unsightly concrete on decks or near swimming pools. But indoors it makes a lovely accent and a beautiful base for any room. Plus, the smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean and won’t provide a catch basin for dust.

Quickstep Laminate Flooring: Another Popular Option

Quickstep takes allergy prevention to a new level by closing the joints between each board completely and providing an easy-to-clean surface that, when kept properly clean, is inhospitable to bacteria. Quickstep laminate flooring is made from the highest quality materials to rigorous design specifications and is available in a wide variety of styles and colors.

The Hypoallergenic Home

In today’s world, almost everyone suffers from allergies. Whether its pet dander, ragweed, pollen, or dust, small particles get trapped in eyes and noses and turn a perfectly pleasant afternoon into an itchy sneezing mess. But even once you enter your home you still aren’t safe from those contagions: if you have carpeting in your house, no matter how much you clean it, you are creating a breeding ground for allergens.

In order to improve the quality of life for yourself and for your family, you need to investigate the many stone tile, Armstrong, and Quickstep laminate flooring options that are available today. Any of these flooring styles provides a healthy, easy-to-clean surface that doesn’t trap dust. Experts have seen incredible changes in allergy sufferers just from the changing of a carpet; don’t you deserve relief from your allergies?

Reclaimed Wood Flooring In Your Home

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

In addition to reclaimed wood flooring, Coles Fine Flooring offers an excellent selection of laminate. With its wide range of color and pattern choices, laminate is an excellent choice for any home. For the green home, a wood laminate floor provides the natural look of wood without the damage to the forest. Laminate is made using an image of the desired flooring which is separated into individual planks and then highly finished and pressurized. This process gives each plank tremendous durability while making the image appear pressed into the plank and completely natural. It also makes the laminate system versatile, as almost any image can be applied.

Even better, the only thing wooden in a wood laminate floor is the name. The actual laminate boards, because of the laminate technology’s use of images, are made with much less wood than a typical wooden board of the same size. Likewise, laminate saves stone. Most people don’t think about the impact of quarries, but the process of digging for stones to be used on stone floors damages the environment almost as much as deforestation.

Armstrong Laminate Flooring For Your Home

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Do you love the look of natural, beautiful wood floors, but can’t stand the maintenance that comes with them? Armstrong has a solution! Laminate flooring is made from a composite material that replicates the look of wood without the troublesome cleanup. Armstrong laminate flooring has an easy-to-clean surface that actually resists spills, making it perfect for getting that refined, classic look in a house with pets or children. It is also perfect for the practical homeowner looking to make an investment in the future of his or her home.

Laminate can also be made to replicate stone. However, laminate is softer than travertine stone tile and doesn’t feel cold underfoot the way some stone tile can. With a variety of natural looking patterns and colors available, laminate is an excellent choice for any homeowner. Coles Fine Flooring offers a wide selection of laminate flooring, from Armstrong as well as other quality manufacturers.

Travertine Stone Tile: Outdoors And Indoors

But sometimes, even quality Armstrong laminate flooring can’t replace the feeling of natural stone flooring. That’s why Coles Fine Flooring offers a full line of travertine stone tile in a rainbow of colors and range of sizes. Travertine is very versatile and looks beautiful indoors or outside. Use it to give your pool or patio a sophisticated flair, or to lend a touch of charm to your hallway. Whatever your needs, Coles Fine Flooring can help you find the stone tile to match.

Coles Fine Flooring also offers a selection of tile, from basic floor tiles to decorative countertop and wall tiles. We carry the leading manufacturers in all the latest colors and styles. Porcelain tile is a durable, attractive, and cost effective way to make your home shine.

Mohawk Flooring

Many companies steer their customers automatically to Mohawk flooring, a popular manufacturer of carpeting and hardwood floors. But Coles Fine Flooring offers you more. We are here to serve you, so we listen to you rather than recommending a type of flooring simply because it’s a good brand name. Mohawk flooring is good, but getting exactly the surface and look you want is much better.
