Laminate floors for busy homes

Laminate floors are essentially high density flooring structures that mimic wood, marble, stone, slate and other natural materials. They have a clear protective layer that makes them resistant to stains and scratches. This makes them the perfect alternative for a busy household filled with people and constant activity.

At Gary Traver Flooring, your premiere Susquehanna County Flooring company, they understand the value of laminate flooring and they offer loads of great styles for you to choose from.

Snapping Deck Tiles

As outdoor living becomes a rapidly growing lifestyle phenomenon, outdoor flooring is emerging as an intimate element of outdoor living. You are almost always in contact with it. Consequently, you ask a lot from it.

Snapping Deck Tiles are easy to install. Each tile has connection points along its edges. To connect two tiles together, position the connection points along the entire edges, apply downward pressure on the connection points until all of the connection points are snapped together. Since you only snap the tiles together, on average covering a 10x10 area takes about an hour. That's all. No messy glue, no nail, no hammer.

At FloorGuide.com you’ll find plenty of different flooring styles to review and each manufacturer gives you their current design ideas to help you through the decision process.  Happy shopping!

Reclaimed Hardwood Floors

If you love the charm that comes with an authentic hardwood floor then you’re bound to love a great looking reclaimed floor.  Reclaimed floors are harvested from inactive (and age old) mills and factories that are deconstructed piece by piece.  Every ounce of old wood is salvaged, sawed with straight line ripping, and kiln dried before it hits the lines for finish work.  My favorite reclaimed wood is the Heart Pine Flooring that you see here.  It’s a little softer than some of the other hardwoods available but the color is fabulous!

Laminate Flooring Is A Great Option
