Today’s choices in
flooring are more varied than ever, considering the spectrum of styles,
finishes and installation options. Production has become innovative, the raw
materials used to create flooring types include; gin bottles, corn sugar, and
the staves from old wine barrels. The benefactor here is the consumer, who
gains from an astonishing array of choices that fit any lifestyle or budget. Be
bold and creative in terms of mixing or matching your options within the available
space.
Slate flooring: is
a warm and interesting choice for interior flooring. Though it must be sealed,
the material is resistant to fading, scratches and chemicals. The wide range of
colour options from light tan to deep black make the tiles quite versatile.
Bamboo flooring:
this increasingly popular foreign material is often mistaken for wood, although
it is not a hardwood but a grass. Bamboo strands are glued together to form
solid strips or engineered planks, just like hardwood. Bamboo is tough and
durable. Because it comes from plants that are easy to grow and regenerate
quickly, bamboo is considered a sustainable material and an environmentally
friendly flooring choice.
Hardwood flooring:
Hardwood flooring is acclaimed for its unrefined beauty and longevity. Its
classic good looks blends with any decorative theme or design, and it’s an
especially good choice to create visual room-to-room continuity for homes with
open floor plans. The availability of exotic species of hardwoods varies with
market conditions, and popular imported varieties include Brazilian cherry,
purple heart, and African pedauk. One advantage of solid wood is that it can be
refinished many times over its lifespan. To make sure the wood flooring you buy
is authentic; you could use the expertise of a professional decorator.
