wear, stain and burn protection are: Ceramic is synonomous with durable beauty! It’s stain, scratch and scuff resistant, environmentally friendly, easy to clean and hygienic. Even fireplace sparks are no problem for ceramic’s unparalleled beauty. Porcelains, glazed and unglazed, red body and white body tiles are all popular choices. This "pinnacle" of flooring needs a very stable underlayment environment to be successfully installed. Ceramic starts around .99cents a sq. ft., (material only) or so for a budget item, but can be more expensive for the quality products. Laminates are one of the hottest trends in flooring today that can look like real wood, tile or stone. High performance laminate flooring offers outstanding durability. It is not prone to scuff, indent, or fade, even in sunny spots or high traffic areas. The surface is also burn-resistant and will resist scratching from even large pets. Softer and warmer than most hard surface floors, these are very forgiving during installation because they are "floating" floors and are not attached to the substrate. Many choose to install these floors themselves and are successful, but they do require some skill and expertise as we see many jobs not done correctly. Laminates start between $1.00 and $2.00 a sq.ft. for the budget items and can be more expensive for stylish or premium planks and boards. Solid Vinyl or Luxury Tile: A step up from no wax sheet vinyl, these are even used commercially in some cases because of its harder and more durable surface. Many design options are available, for instance, diagonal placement, multicolor checkerboards, borders, etc. These can be installed by a do it yourselfer, but we recommend that the manufacturers installation manual be studied and adhered to strictly to avoid problems. It is critical to always use the proper adhesive and proper size trowel notchings. No wax Sheet Vinyls are economical, comfortable, warm and offer the most patterns and designs to meet any budget. Usually we recommend a professional install these floors due to the technical nature of the labor required. No wax Sheet Vinyls are priced around the $1.00 s.f. range at the low end and up to about $5.00 s.f. on the high end. Similar to Sheet Vinyls are the new category of Fiberglass flooring which offers consumers greater stability in their flooring, with more strength in the sheeting, thicker, more comfortable inner layers and more water resistance in the backing and core. Fiberglass flooring can start in the $1.00 range and go up depending on the quality of the product. Commercially, Vinyl Composition Tile is a great choice starting at $.99 a sq.ft. Carpet Tiles also do well commercially and in some residential application. Hardwood is a category all its own! The classic beauty and natural look of hardwood flooring is very desirable. Most people choose to use Hardwoods for emotional or traditional settings. You can choose from a variety of natural hardwood flooring for elegant or casual settings. Hardwood pricing usually starts around $3.00 a sq.ft. and can of course be higher for exotic species and wider boards. Carpet adds that "comfort" factor that nothing else offers. Soft, durable, warm and inviting, carpet is in a class of its own. When it is fresh and clean, it can give a room a special feeling that can't be found with any other flooring category. Carpets should always be installed professionally. Carpet pricing can start in the $1.00 s.f. range and go up, the final price being determined by the fiber, the weight, the construction and the warranties.
