LAMINATE - Tile - VINYL
Laminate
flooring
Laminate flooring is a laminate
flooring material made to look like
wood flooring, but made up of either
synthetic materials or of synthetic
materials combined with natural
ingredients and covered with a decorative
applique. It is usually cheaper
than wood flooring materials, and
it is possible for a do-it-yourself
homeowner to install. Laminate flooring
has an inner core and a glued-on
layer or layers of outer material.
Many types of laminate flooring
simulate wood, but some look like
marble or granite. A popular alternative
to hardwood or vinyl, high-quality
laminate flooring resists staining,
wear and fading much better than
wood while providing its looks and
appeal. It's durable -- about 10
times stronger than a kitchen countertop
-- and water-resistant, so it can
be used in a bathroom as well as
a kitchen or hallway. Laminate flooring
does not require steady maintenance
and protection from scuffs and ridge
marks. You won't have to oil your
floors, have them sanded and restained,
or worry about water spills. Laminate
floors are versatile in that laminate
flooring comes in scores of colors,
patterns, and designs. These floors
are hard and durable just like a
laminate counter.
What is Laminate? What is laminate
flooring? Laminate flooring is a
rigid floor covering with a surface
layer consisting of one or more
thin sheets of a fibrous material
(usually paper), impregnated with
aminoplastic thermosetting resins
(usually melamine). These sheets
are either pressed as such (HPL,
CPL, Compact), and in the case of
HPL or CPL bonded on a substrate,
or in the case of DPL directly pressed
on a substrate. The product is normally
finished with a backing primarily
used as a balancing material. Its
performance values are set by the
NALFA Standard.

Tile
installation
Ceramic tile has been around for
centuries and with today’s technology
there are many design and application
possibilities that were not available
a decade ago. If it has been a long
time since you have looked at tile
possibilities you will be amazed
at the variety of sizes, shapes
and new textures that are now available.
Ceramic tile is a natural product
made up of clay and a number of
other naturally-occurring materials.
Glazed ceramic tile has a ceramic
coating applied to the tile body,
which gives the tile a shiny appearance.
· Durable – a properly installed
ceramic tile will outperform and
outlast nearly any other floor covering
product created for the same application.
· Easy Care – glazed ceramic tile
resists stains, odors, and dirt
and can be cleaned up with a damp
mop or sponge or common household
cleaners.
· Scratch Resistant – Grade III
and Grade IV glazed ceramic tiles
are extremely resistant to scratching
and you never have to worry about
a cut or tear as with other types
of floors.
· Environmentally Friendly – ceramic
tile is manufactured using natural
materials and does not retain odors,
allergens, or bacteria.
· Beautiful and Versatile – modern
ceramic manufacturing technology
has created virtually an unlimited
number of colors, sizes, styles,
shapes and textures that add rich
beauty and character to any room
décor.
· Fire Resistant – ceramic tile
doesn’t burn nor emit toxic fumes.
A lighted cigarette, when dropped
on the floor, even if allowed to
sit, will not do any damage. Even
hot kitchen pans or skillets will
not scorch or melt the surface of
glazed ceramic tile.
· Water Resistant – most glazed
ceramic tile has a dense body that
permits little or no accumulation
of moisture. This means spills from
common liquids is not a big concern.

Vinyl
flooring
No other floor category offers the
variety of colors and patterns as
vinyl flooring! The unique manufacturing
processes used today can replicate
the look and textures of real ceramic
tile, stone and wood grains. Plus,
the resilient manufacturing process
makes vinyl floors more tear and
stain resistant.
The wearlayer is critical to the
performance of a vinyl floor. The
thickness of the wearlayer varies
with each manufacturer’s collection,
or series and is generally measured
using the thickness of a millimeter
(about the same as a page in the
telephone book). A 10-mil wearlayer
would be comparable in thickness
to about 10 pages in your telephone
book. Your expectations for how
long your vinyl floor will look
like new will depend on the wearlayer’s
performance. Wearlayer performance
characteristics are:
· Easy to clean
· Stays looking like new
· Resists staining from normal household
products
· Doesn’t show scratches easily
· Resistance to tearing, gouging,
ripping and indentations
The new, high-end vinyl floors have
better technology to help resist
showing wear and staining far better
than any of the middle to low-end
vinyl floors made. Urethane finishes
used on today’s residential, high-end
vinyl floors will give you a richer
looking floor, better designs, better
tear-resistance and much better
performance. Floors in California
offer you a bib selection on vinyl
flooring.
Linoleum floors
Linoleum has been a mainstay floor
covering for over 100 years because
it is one of the few products made
from primarily natural raw materials,
such as linseed oil from flax, wood
powder, limestone, resins and some
colored pigments. The backing is
mostly natural grass. It is a tough
yet visually striking floor covering,
highly resistant to heavy rolling
loads and foot traffic. Because
linoleum is a natural organic product,
its performance is enhanced by time,
as exposure to air serves to harden
and increase its durability. Although
linoleum continues to harden over
time, the floor remains quiet and
comfortable under foot. Linoleum
is also cost effective because of
the long-lifespan (40 years) and
low maintenance costs. It is extremely
durable, burn-resistant and allergen-free
