Engineered hardwood flooring is composed of three to five layers of wood laminated together. It is, therefore, more stable and can withstand moisture more.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">It is important to properly install and seal hardwood flooring so that it does not absorb any spills and will not easily get stained. Maintenance should be done with weekly mopping and regular vacuum cleaning.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Tile flooring comes in natural stone, ceramic, glass and metal.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Natural stone tiles come from limestone, marble, slate or granite. Limestone is the softest and is often just used as a decorative accent. Marble is also not very strong and its use is suggested for areas where there is less human traffic. Slate is durable, strong and has a slip resistant texture. It can be used for areas that get wet, like patios and poolsides. Granite is the strongest and can withstand high human traffic. It is also very dense and is, therefore, highly resistant to moisture and bacteria.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Ceramic tiles are also durable and come glazed, unglazed or in mosaics. Glass and metal tiles are usually just used decoratively.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Laminate flooring can mimic the look of hardwood, natural stone or tile but is much more durable and costs much less. Laminate flooring is very durable because it is made up of four layers laminated together. The deepest layer prevents it from warping. The next layer is rigid. The second to the top layer contains the design. The topmost layer is the clear protective cover. Laminate flooring resists moisture, scratches, stains and fading.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Vinyl flooring has three variants – no-wax, urethane and enhanced urethane – and can be purchased as individual tiles or in sheets. No-wax vinyl is the oldest type and is the least durable. Urethane vinyl has better resistance to scuffs and stains and needs low maintenance. The best option, though, is enhanced urethane vinyl which is resistant to moisture and even to household chemicals, aside from scuffs and stains. It can even be used in bathrooms. Like laminate flooring, it has designs that look like hardwood or natural stone. Maintenance is done by sweeping or mopping.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Your carpeting options include broadloom carpets and wool berbers, among others. Carpets come with different types of pile or fiber yarns and can come as cut pile, loop pile or cut & loop pile.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/12c.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/12c.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Your options for rugs include Oriental rugs, runner rugs, area rugs and round rugs. You may opt to layer some rugs over certain areas in your flooring or even your carpeting.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">After choosing your flooring, carpeting and rugs, make sure that your purchase includes not only delivery but also expert installation services as well as solid warranties.
