Laminate flooring continues to be one of the hottest flooring products available today. For customers who want a floor that is meant for active lifestyles, is easy to keep clean, and is fairly inexpensive, a laminate floor may be exactly what you are looking for. For those of you who are wondering exactly what a laminate floor is, it is a combination of special resins (melamine), paper layers, fiber core, and a print film that are all fused together into a solid mass. Although they appear similar to a Formica countertop, they are really much more durable and scratch resistant.

When it comes to natural beauty, it's hard to beat the look and warmth of a real hardwood floor. Hardwood flooring is the leading choice of flooring in today's homes. Styles have changed dramatically over the past few years and we have the latest pre-finished products on display at our showroom. We can help you choose the right hardwood floor for your dcor and lifestyle. After you have made your selection we have expert hardwood mechanics to install your floor. Pre-finished means the wood has already been stained and a finish has been applied at the factory.

Whether your dcor is traditional, contemporary, or country, our large selection of vinyl flooring will help you find the right style and color to match your decorating schemes.
