Just like the fashion industry, the flooring industry follows the trends in the market. Fortunately for the consumer, the current trend toward hard surface flooring, provides the home with a durable and ever-fashionable floor.

Flooring such as hardwood, laminates and ceramic tile are popular in new construction as well as remodeled homes. Lending to this popularity is the fact the floors are easy to care for and a wide variety of styles are available to choose from no matter what your taste.

Wood floors allow a great array of styling possibilities. Many types of wood are available from oak to ash, walnut, cherry and many other exotics, and can be finished in a variety of stains.

Most hardwood flooring installed in homes is prefinished. The finish used most often is an aluminum oxide UV cured urethane that is durable and long lasting.

For those who want the look of wood but are hesitant, the alternative may be laminate. Laminate floors are a wood press board with a picture and wear layer fused to it. High-pressure laminate is the longest wearing and most durable in the market.

Laminate is a floating floor that can be installed over many existing floors. They are available in the same wood looks and colors as hardwood, as well as ceramic tile looks.
