Natural oak flooring has been a top selling flooring choice for decades and remains a top seller today. However, with the advent of new technology now stain colors, hand-scraping and other special visual effects are available on solid hard wood floors. All solid hardwood floors on iFLOOR are harvested responsibly and are from well managed forests which create a timeless supply of this precious wood flooring. Most often to use a solid wood floor you will want a wooden subfloor.
Engineered Hardwood FlooringEngineered hardwood flooring a a great option for alot of homeowners and commercial areas for a number of different reasons. First engineered hardwood uses less of the high value hardwood making it more eco-friendly than most solid hard wood. Second engineered hard wood flooring can be installed over concrete floors most often in a floating floor installation, but also using a glue down floor installation method as well. This flexible installation also adds an element of dimensional stability making engineered wood floors a perfect choice for virtually any area of your home.
Laminate FlooringLaminate flooring practically took over the flooring scene in the nineties and quickly became the alternative consumers were searching for. Laminate floors allowed consumers the option of having a wood floor without the maintenance usually associated with hardwood flooring (but even that's now changed, as wood floors are easier to maintain than ever). And because laminate floors are "floating floors" (not attached to the subfloor), laminate flooring could also be installed in some places hardwood couldn't. Today, laminate floors are also known as "click laminate floors" and are installed by simply snapping two planks together, requiring no glue whatsoever. In fact, laminate was the first to offer a click locking system. Laminates literally changed the way we thought about flooring, and since they've become one of the most popular types of flooring in the world. We also happen to sell more of it than just about anyone, and that's why you'll get the best price on laminate flooring when you buy at iFLOOR.
Regular Bamboo FlooringSolid bamboo flooring really gained in popularity in the recent years. Today solid bamboo flooring as well as engineered bamboo flooring offers a great value for homes or offices with a very contemporary look and one of the most green floor options in the world. Many bamboo floors at iFLOOR are FSC certified as well offering you an extra level of assurance that it is certified to be a green flooring product. Today there are more bamboo floor choices than ever including solid natural bamboo, stained bamboo, hand scraped bamboo and engineered bamboo.
Strand Bamboo FlooringWith the popularity of solid bamboo floors it was only a matter of time until the next generation of bamboo flooring was developed and the result is known as stranded bamboo floors. The bamboo material is first shredded and then under extraordinarily high pressure fused together creating a floor that rivels even the hardest of hardwood floors. Strand bamboo offers a unique aesthetic combined with a toughness that can be used even in commercial settings. The new addition of innovative engineering methods, hand scraping strand bamboo floors and staining strand bamboo have created more options than ever.
Cork FlooringCork flooring is one of the most environmentally friendly floors in the world. Cork trees are grown for centuries and only the bark is harvested every 8-10 years which is used to make cork stoppers for wine. The by-product from the cork stoppers is then recycled and made into world class cork flooring. This comfortable, eco-friendly flooring is now tougher than ever and more affordable than ever making it a perfect choice for active homes. The newest cork floors now offer beveled edge planks which offer a totally new look in cork floors.
Vinyl FlooringToday's vinyl flooring has come a very long way and is nothing like what you remember from your grandmother's kitchen. In fact, many of today's vinyl floors are glue-less (no glue vinyl) and designed to be loose-laid over just about any subfloor. The newer vinyl floors now come in planks (rather than sheets) and some even simulate the look of real hardwood. The more advanced vinyl floors you'll find here snap together with an easy, click locking system, making installation a simple process for even the most inexperienced novice. The vinyl floor of today offers excellent durability, is very easy to install, maintain, and when you purchase it at iFLOOR, you'll get the best price on vinyl flooring planks, every day of the week.
Flooring UnderlaymentIf flooring were a house, its foundation would be the underlayment. A flooring will only perform as well as the underlayment it's installed over, so it's important to take a few extra minutes to determine which is the right flooring underlayment for you. Sometimes you just need to get the job done inexpensively, but if this is a flooring you plan on living with for a while, it's important to understand the way an underlayment will affect your flooring's feel, performance and overall lifespan. Some are foam underlayments, while others are cork underlayments that act as great insulators and acoustical barriers. Flooring is an investment, whether it's simply to increase a home's value or increase your enjoyment of the space where you spend all of your time. Whatever your motivations or needs, iFLOOR has the right floor underlayment for you and like everything else we sell, at the guaranteed lowest price. |
