Some of Your Many Flooring Choices

Whether hardwood, stone or tile, the trend is clear: bigger is better.  

When it comes to hardwood, deep colored, wide-plank boards are growing in popularity for those desiring an exotic look.  New England colonials show the antique beauty of wide-board as well.  For pine floors, widths up to 20 inches and lengths as long as 11 feet are particularly nice for this slow-growing wood, allowing their tighter and denser grains to be seen without interruption.  

In high-moisture areas or hotter climates, tile floors are ideal.  Tile slabs can be made as large as two feet.  Larger-scale homes hold large tile well, however they can also be used to make a large room smaller. Wider tiles can also be used to tighten a wide hallway.
