"It's Faux Real..."


Many faux wood flooring products are so good now...you may not realize it's not real wood.

The manufacturing processes have become so sophisticated that they will trick your eye, and impress all that set afoot on it. If you've been toying with the idea of updating and/or replacing your flooring with wood flooring, there is a plethora of colors, styles, grains, sheens, and "handscraped" options to meet your tastes and needs.

Say you have dogs...big dogs...with big paws and claws. Hardwood does not stand a chance over time, but a gorgeous porcelain "wood grained" plank floor would suit your home perfectly!  You may have spied this popular product at your local big box home improvement center. We encourage you to look at the different brands; Not all are made the same. Mannington has gorgeous products that are superior to some of the others that look like a bad, grainy "photo" of wood on their planks.


Porcelain can look incredibly realistic and it's very durable. All pluses in my book!







Another fantastic wood-look product is laminate. (Us old-schoolers grew up with "Linoleum" which was a popular brand of laminate.) This product comes in rolls, as you might be aware, but again Mannington offers myriad of styles that emulate wood unbelievably. The cool thing is...its warm underfoot, and it is easy-care. 

We recommend laminate when it is a smaller space so that seams will not be an issue.

If you would prefer to have us assist you with the selection and guide you in the right direction...we are available for consultations!  



Off to make some pretty...
