Hardwood flooring options
**image1:left**Answer: The choices in resilient flooring are greater than ever. Many times, resilient flooring reproduces Mother Nature with deeply veined marble, granite and stone looks, "plank-wood" flooring and other natural-appearing styles.Resilient sheet flooring with inlaid color offers a handcrafted look of extraordinary depth and richness. The designs are made from millions of tiny color granules laid into hand-cut stencils, which create the pattern color by color, shade by shade. The entire structure is fused into a solid sheet under intense heat and pressure. These floors are resistant to scuffs, damage and indentation. Designs today clearly show a combination of objects, prints, colors and textures that reflect a mingling of cultures from around the world.Wood flooring also is gaining as a popular choice, as people strive to bring the beauty of nature inside their homes. Wood entryways and family rooms add tremendous drama and openness to a home. Like we talked about last month, when you add a dramatic area rug as an accent, you can end up with a classic, timeless look.
