Cork Flooring

Cork floors have increased their market presence dramatically over the last several years. Because they are eco-friendly and highly renewable, they are a great choice for "green" flooring. When the cork is harvested, it does not kill the tree that it came from, and more cork grows in its place and the process can repeat itself many times, making cork one of the world's most renewable resources.

Cork flooring is now available in both tiles and planks, so you can create a plank floor look like that of a hardwood floor, or a tile look like that of a marble or porcelain floor. Cork comes in a variety of different patterns which are made by the different methods of processing and compressing the cork after harvesting. Some of the more reputable cork floor manufacturers include WE Cork, APC Cork, Home Legend Cork and Wicanders to name a few. You can shop and compare cork floors from these, and other manufacturers by visiting our cork flooring section. And of course, we are available by telephone or live chat to answer your questions!

Vinyl Flooring

While there are a few types of flooring that are growing in popularity in recent years, there is no other category of floor materials that is growing in popularity at the pace that Vinyl flooring is. Recent developments in printing technology have enabled manufacturers to make vinyl floors that are more beautiful, and more realistic in comparison to the materials they emulate; namely wood and tile.

The main types of vinyl floors on the market are Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Vinyl Plank (pretty self-explanatory). LVT is used primarily in commercial applications like hospitals, schools, hotels, assisted living facilities and really any public building that needs flooring that is durable, beautiful and easy to maintain. For residential use, the vinyl plank is the primary choice as of late. Vinyl Plank is available in a huge variety of wood prints to emulate nearly any wood flooring product you might find. Vinyl Plank floors are great for the do-it-yourself installer, as most of this type of flooring can be installed using the floating method (click together) or peel and stick, both of which are pretty easy installation methods.

Tile & Stone Flooring

Stone tiles have been a popular flooring material for literally thousands of years. Stone is readily available in many different compositions such as marble, travertine & granite and is harvested from many different parts of the world. Ceramic & Porcelain tiles are man-made products with a natural stone image printed on the surface, providing a more economical alternative to real stone floors.

Tiles are installed using thin set mortar, and a variety of different types and qualities are available to choose from. Thinset is spread to the subfloor using a notched trowel, and then the tiles are set in place. While tile is definitely not the easiest type of flooring to install, it is definitely a project you can tackle with the right amount of time and patience. The odds are you know someone that has installed tile floors before and they could help you, or at least offer some pointers.

Carpet Tiles

One of the smartest inventions in the history of carpeting is Carpet Tiles. I think we've all had that moment where you've watched in horror as the red juice slips out of your child's hand, or the dinner plate slides off the table face down on the carpet. And we all know that those stains seem to always rear their ugly heads no matter how you go about cleaning them. Well thanks to carpet tiles, that accident doesn't have to ruin your entire floor! Just pull up the affected tiles, and drop new ones in! You can do the carpet tile replacement yourself, and you can save thousands of dollars by not replacing your entire carpet just because of one accident.
