Rearranging furniture cannot only give your room a brand new look, it can also help keep the deep color of your hardwood floor. Because the sun's UV rays can cause fading in hardwood floors, moving furniture can more evenly distribute the abuse the sun does to your floor.
Not sure whether to go with glazed or unglazed ceramic tile? The difference is more extensive than simple appearance. Not only do glazed tiles offer a more finished look, but they have increased stain resistance, scratch resistance, and traction, as well as decreased water absorption.
The origins of ceramic tiles date back to 4,000 BC around Egypt and Mesopotamia. Clay tiles would be dried in the sun, then a glaze would be added, usually copper-based. These tiles were then used to cover their floors.
Not sure what type of finish to choose for your ceramic tile? Keep in mind that glossy finishes have a tendency to show fingerprints and footprints, and can also be slippery when wet. If traction is a priority, then you'll want a honed finish.
The carpeting industry began in the U.S. at the end of the 18th century. Carpets were produced by weavers with handloom technology.
