Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood floors can offer timeless elegance and warmth in virtually any room of your home. Created from a solid piece of milled wood, hardwood flooring contains solid wood all throughout.
Popular hardwood varieties include oak, maple, cherry or walnut. Its versatility and quality make it a very desirable flooring option for many homeowners.

Laminate floors consist of a particle board wood base topped by wood or tile beneath a clear plastic protective layer.
