Textured flooring is the perfect way to make a statement, create a specific look and feel, or create a wow-factor focal point. Minor color shifts and fades, directionality, and pattern repeats all help create the perception of texture.

What is a wear layer you ask?
Put simply, the wear layer is the top surface that provides the durability, stain and scratch resistance of vinyl flooring.
Especially in high traffic areas, such as this kitchenette dining area, this coated layer will protect your flooring from scratches, dents, and even UV damage! The thicker the wear layer, the more protection your floor has!

Believe it or not, there's actually quite a lot of precision in a "random pattern install".

While the color variances and patterns are designed to be sporadic, there is still a technique that must be followed so that you don't end up with too much of one color over another. Our installers have perfected random patterns!

When working with patterns, be it in carpet, tile, or vinyl, precision is vital during install. All of the lines must match up exactly, or the entire install will have to be redone.
Our installers are the pattern experts!

Another Friday, another engineered wood flooring install we can't stop marveling over. Mixing the colors of the wood and also the directional install in the same open space, allows for a visual break-up of different areas in the room!

Changing the carpet in this little meeting nook sets it apart as it's own unique space, even though it's part of a larger, open area.

Solid vs patterns, color variances, even directional changes can all help visually offset a smaller area of an open layout.

It's slick enough outside, make sure your interior floors aren't slippery as well! Weather like this is the perfect reason to have solid walk off matting in your vestibule and entry ways.

Summer is here and our floors are feeling the heat!!!

Just like you are careful to protect your skin during the warm summer months, the same should go for your floors! Too much direct sunlight can easily damage your floor and cause unsightly fading and discoloration. Blinds, curtains and window tints are great ways to protect your flooring from the summer sun!

Did you know not all floors are glued down?
This LVP is called a Floating Floor. The planks click together with tongue and groove connections, and are essentially laid down with no adhesive, "floating" above the subfloor. This technique allows for natural expansion and contraction due to humidity or temperature changes!
