A Trend? Leather Flooring Tiles

2007-03-06T16:38:00.000-08:00

Okay, while it's not for everybody, I did want to talk a bit about a bit of a trend in flooring. If you really want to be the talk of the neighborhood, you could install leather flooring tiles (and maybe some of the wall tiles.)

A flooring tile made of leather would certainly be distinctive. The look and feel would add a cozy warmth to a small den, office or bedroom. The material would be a natural sound-deadening insulator that would also stay warm on cold winter nights. As the material ages, the patina will fade and the color will age.

It's probably not a good idea for a high traffic area or any rooms with a lot of water or moisture, such as a kitchen or bath. The wear and tear and overall product and installation fees are roughly the same as hardwood flooring costs. And, leather doesn't really need to be cleaned so you'd be saving in maintenance time and costs.

Down & Dirty - A Green Option Dirt Floor

2007-02-12T10:39:00.000-08:00

Here's an interesting story from the New York Times on a couple adding an "earthen" floor in their home: "'It's beautiful,' said Mr. Rowell, 28, as he stood back to take in the whole room. 'It's just what we wanted.'

Mr. Rowell and Ms. Farnsworth, 26, were working with a dozen friends to install a dirt floor - an 'earthen floor,' as it is known - in their newly purchased 50-year-old home in this Oakland suburb.

The floor - which, in addition to the basic ingredient, included lime and sand, two classic components of concrete - would take a few weeks to dry, a period when the couple would camp out in their living room. But once sealed with a mixture of linseed oil and beeswax, it would theoretically be firm and water-repellent. Fans of such floors say that soapy water will clean them without turning them to mud, and that another coat of oil can renew the shine.

The couple are part of a new breed of environmentally conscious homeowners who are willing to forgo traditional floorings like hardwood, carpeting and concrete for the supposed benefits of earthen floors: a reduction in heating costs and environmental impact and, at least in the eyes of some, an improvement in looks.

They are part of a small movement interested in "natural building" on the fringes of green architecture. But they consider green architecture to be overly focused on energy efficiency, while they are concerned with the eco-friendliness of the entire process. The idea, according to Lloyd Kahn, a former shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, is to use "materials that have as little processing as possible, like dirt, straw and bamboo."

It is hardly a new or chic movement: millions of poor people around the globe use natural materials like dirt for their homes whether they want to or not. But with the growing environmental awareness in this country, Mr. Kahn said, there is greater interest in natural building materials like dirt.

Aesthetically, earthen floors are 'really special,' said Frank Meyer, a natural builder who has installed 15 in Austin, Teas. 'After a while they look like an old cracked leather couch,' he said. 'When people walk in, they don't say, 'Oh, nice floor.' Everyone gets down on their hands and knees to admire it.' Mr. Meyer has used natural pigment to create designs in some floors, and he said some builders add the blood of oxen for maroon coloration."

"Michael G. Smith, a natural builder who teaches workshops on installing earthen floors at the Emerald Earth Sanctuary in Boonville, Calif., said that demand for dirt floors is growing quickly. Of course, they are still extremely rare. He estimated that a few hundred, or perhaps a few thousand, have been installed around the country.

He has installed a dozen himself for clients over several years, and said that the number of earthen building workshops like his have increased. Ten years ago, there were at most four people offering them in California, he said, and 'now there are 20-plus.'"

Hardwood Flooring Installation Tip

2007-02-06T12:43:00.000-08:00

If you're going to have hardwood floors installed in your home, here is something to keep in mind. Many people would love to have the wood arrive and have an installation company show up the same day to put the flooring down. However, it's very important to let the hardwood floor acclimate to the temperature and humidity levels in your home.

Once the wood flooring arrives, let it stand -- in the room you're going to install it -- for at least three to five days. Keep the room at a normal living temperature, usually between 65 and 75 degrees and close to 35% to 40% humidity. Also, if you can, turn your heating and cooling fan on or bring a circulating fan into the room to keep a constant circulation of air throughout that room.

Doing this is the best way to make sure that once your hardwood floor is installed that it has expanded or shrunk to it's normal size after shipping. It's the way to make sure there are no seams, cracks, cupping or noise issues once the floor is installed.

When you need to find a professional installation pro to install your hardwood floors, consider Construction Deal. Our network of flooring contractors will bid on your job - and multiple bids means that you'll save money. And having flooring experts call you means you won't have to call people at random from the phone book - that saves you money! It's fast, free, and easy.

Refinishing Hardwood Floors

2007-01-29T11:34:00.000-08:00

The great thing about having hardwood floors in your home is that they can be brought back to life after years of service. Carpeting, linoleum, natural stone - they all need to be replaced if there are rips and tears, stains, chips and gouges. Replacing these other products can be expensive and it's not environmentally friendly, either. But wood flooring is different. Just about every type of hardwood floor can be resurfaced to remove just about any deep scratch or surface stains.

First, it's important to make sure that you really do have a hardwood floor. An engineered or veneer surface wood floor may be too thin to resurface as they usually have about an 1/8" surface of wood on top of particle boards. Check a small section, near a furnace grate or by pulling up the edging near a door.

Next, you need to consider whether you'll do this project yourself or hire a company to resurface the wood for you. You'll need to clear and prep the room, remove exposed nails or carpet tacks, and rent a sanding machine, an edging sander, and a floor buffer. The project should take you one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the room. There are also hardwood floor resurfacing companies that will do the work for you.

Finally, you'll need to choose the type of finish you want on your new floors. You can go with either a water-based polyurethane or an oil-based product.

Water-based Polyurethane:

No-to-low Odor

Dries Quickly

Requires More Coats Than Oil

Higher Cost

Easy to Clean Tools

Has No Yellowing or Amber Tint

Oil-based Polyurethane:

Requires Fewer Coats

Takes Longer to Dry (6-12 Hours)

Strong Odor

Lower Cost

Adds Rich Amber Glow

So, if you've got quality hardwoods under your carpet or need to refresh the look of your wood floor, consider resurfacing instead of replacing. And, if you don't want to do the project yourself, you can find quality resurfacing companies with us, at Construction Deal. We've got a network of flooring contractors who will bid on your job. It's a fast, free and easy way to find a pro!

A New Look at Laminate

2007-01-11T11:05:00.000-08:00

Tell people you're installing a laminate floor in your home and many might actually turn up their nose. While there's definitely a stigma attached to laminate flooring, most don't realize that there are some really great options out there in laminates that are not only durable but good looking.

A laminate floor can be the perfect choice for a heavily-trafficked area or in homes with kids and pets. But it goes beyond being able to stand up to a lot of wear and tear. Laminates can have a look of real wood, with wood grains on the surface, or even the look of a natural stone.

Advantages of Laminate Flooring

Hard to stain, scratch or wear down
Perfect to help reduce allergens in the home
Very low maintenance required
Less expensive than real hardwood or stone floors
Easy to install
May come with a warranty

There are some disadvantages to laminates but, as with any flooring material option, it depends on the situation and the application. For example, you don't want to install a laminate in the bathroom or any "wet" household area. The surface resists water, but it's not good to get water around the edging of the laminate where it can get under the surface and cause problems.

In the past, many have complained of a hollow knock or tapping sound when they walk on their laminate flooring. Today, the problem has been solved by adding an insulation barrier under the laminate to prevent this. It can be similar to adding a pad under a carpet. Cork padding usually works best to help eliminate any noise problems.

If you're looking to install a laminate floor in your home, post your project with Construction Deal. We'll match you to local Flooring Contractors to help with the installation. It's free to use the service and you'll save time and money in the process.

Flooring News from Yahoo!

2007-01-10T09:40:00.000-08:00

From Yahoo! Finance - "NEW YORK, Jan. 9 -- Positive U.S. economic trends coupled with easy-to-install options have spurred growth in the laminate and vinyl flooring industry, with the market increasing nearly 8% from 2001- 2005 and the supply value topping $3 billion in 2005. As the remodeling boom continues, the market should see healthy gains, exceeding $4 billion by 2010, according to Laminate and Vinyl Flooring in the U.S., a new report from market research publisher SBI."

"SBI's findings show double-digit growth from 2001 to 2005 in the laminate sector, which has found favor with homeowners seeking a wood-flooring look at a budget price. The advent of glue-less, interlocking floors will help laminates grow from $1.2 billion in 2005 to more than $1.9 billion in 2010. Although vinyl flooring still dominates with almost a two-thirds share of the combined market, SBI expects the vinyl sector to grow more slowly than laminate flooring to reach $2.4 billion by 2010."

"'Consumer tastes are changing with a preference towards exotic-looking, hand-scraped, and rustic species laminates.'"

Types of Hardwood Floors

2007-01-04T14:11:00.000-08:00

Everyone wants the hardwood floors. They've always been popular for the natural beauty and durability, but the hardwood flooring craze has been going strong for 20 years now.

If you're in the process of building a new home or remodeling your old home, you'll want to consider a variety of wood choices. Not every wood is a suitable choice for every home - just like a granite countertop is not right for every single kitchen. You'll want to look at the hardness, color variations, durability, and ability to handle moisture and humidity for your climate.

Darker floors can really highlight lighter walls and trim and even furniture but they can make a room look smaller. Also, dark woods may show uneven wear faster than lighter colors. Lighter woods can open up a room and give it a lighter airy feel and can make a small room seem bigger.

Darker colors are for more formal rooms, like a living or dining room. A lighter wood has a more casual or comfortable tone to it and is perfect for the kitchen and family room.

Types of Hardwood Floors:

Mahogany
Cherry
Pine
Oak, White and Red
Beech
White Ash
Maple
Birch
Douglas Fir
Hickory
Pecan
Cypress

There are a host of other natural hardwoods, but these are the most common. They have varying degrees of hardness, color ranges, and moisture stabilities. Check with your local flooring contractor to decide which is best for you, your house, and floor traffic that it will have to handle.

If you need to find a local Flooring Company, post your request with Construction Deal. We'll match you with a multitude of floor installers who can give you a larger product range than your local Home Depot or other supply store. Having more choice than the average home improvement center means that you'll get the best hardwood that's right for you.

Flooring Options: Carpeting?

2006-12-21T10:41:00.000-08:00

For the past ten years, everyone has believed that they needed to pull up the old carpeting and install or refinish their hardwood floors. Hardwood has been such a hot trend and it's just as popular today as it ever was. But many have forgotten about carpeting as an option in their home.

Outside of being the "must have" in home remodeling, carpeting is still a perfect choice for many and there have been some great advances in carpet technology.

First, I want to discuss the disadvantages of installing carpet. It's important to know what your up against when choosing carpeting as your home's major flooring option:

Disadvantages of Carpet:

The major one is a problem of air quality - carpeting traps dust, dander, and allergens. With homes being more "sealed up", it can mean more problems with allergies and asthma. Odors are also easily trapped
Cleaning is an issue - because carpeting can hold on to odors and stains, it requires more maintenance and cleaning effort to keep it looking (and smelling) good. Because the wall-to-wall carpeting is more or less attached, it cannot be removed for cleaning or replaced easily
Durability can be another problem - carpeting simply does not last as long as many other floor options. It can fade, fray, and wear down in areas of heavy traffic
A final consideration: carpeting is an environmental disaster waiting to happen. From the chemicals and products used to make carpet to what to do with it when you're done, carpeting is major concern. Many don't care or know about what happens to it after it's trashed

But carpeting also has some great advantages and could still be an option for your remodeling project. Carpets come in a huge variety of colors, styles, materials, patterns and fiber lengths that you can add just about anything you want to your home. Here are some other Advantages:

Cost - carpet installed in your home is usually still less, per square foot, than many other flooring options

Comfort - nothing beats the feel of a soft and warm carpet under your bare feet. It can help keep a drafty room warmer, acting as an insulator

Safety - carpeting is perfect for holding down furniture, decorations, and people by offering a great non-slip surface

Soundproofing - beside the warming insulation properties, carpeting can provide sound-deadening for nearly any type of room

Carpeting is still a great choice for homeowners and is worth considering to see if it's right for you. If you're looking for a quality carpeting installation pro, place your request on the Construction Deal website. It's a fast, free and easy way to find a carpet company to install your new carpeting. Unlike going into a home improvement store, you'll have more carpeting choices with an independent installer and you'll be able to receive multiple bids, which will save you money.

Radiant Heating for your Floors

2006-12-16T11:30:00.000-08:00

If you're having your flooring replaced, it might be a good idea to consider installing a radiant heat system at the same time.

You've probably heard the term before but might not know what it's all about. Radiant heat is applying a heat source directly to the floor of your house. This source disperses heat directly from the surface and radiates it around the room in an even fashion.

Radiant heating has some great advantages:

It's more efficient than baseboard heating and the ducted forced-air heating where energy can be lost through transmission
Because the system is more efficient it, it costs less to run
Since heat is not being blown through air ducts, it can cut down on the amount of allergens distributed through the room or house

Radiant flooring heat can be generated by several methods - gas/electric, wood burning, solar, and more. There are 2 types of residential radiant flooring systems:

Hydronic Radiant: this is the most popular radiant flooring option. Heated water is pumped from the heating unit through tubes under the flooring surface. The temperature can be controlled through zoning sections, along with a system of pumps and thermostats, to keep colder rooms warmer and warmer rooms cooler.

Electric Radiant: this method is not nearly as efficient as hydronic heating because of the higher cost of electricity. Electrical cables are installed onto the subfloor, underneath the hardwood flooring or tile flooring. Electric radiant works best when it can be used during off-peak hours to save money. The best way to do this is to have a concrete floor which can hold onto the heat for up to 8 hours at a time - which keeps you from running the electricity during those peak hours.

If you're looking to re-do your flooring, talk to the flooring contractor about adding a radiant heat system at the same time. There are many "dry" installation methods that do not require excessive construction to install the systems. Know your options and discuss the whether your choice of flooring material works with a radiant heating plan.

And, if you need to find a flooring contractor, we're here to help - Construction Deal will match you to a flooring company at no charge. You'll have several companies calling you instead of you trying to call them at random, and that saves you time. You'll also have several bids to do the work and you choose the best installation price - that saves you money. What more could you ask for?

Decorative Concrete Flooring

2006-12-12T10:33:00.000-08:00

A great option for home flooring is concrete. But not just any concrete. There is so much more to concrete than a flat gray, dull slab of flooring that is cold and hard on your feet. Concrete has come so much farther you, honestly, wouldn't recognize it as concrete!

Decorative concrete can be made to look like so many other more expensive products that it's mind-boggling what can be done in your home at a fraction of the cost. You can have a flooring contractor install a decorative overlay that will have the look and feel of stone or tiles.

Another process is acid staining. The acid stain technique is not a paint or coating - it's a coloring process of water, acids, and inorganic salts that react with the minerals in the concrete and it creates a marbled, mottled look that can be highly polished and give a unique look to any room.

Concrete can also be used in textured applications. The flooring contractor can give an exterior flooring the look of brick or flagstone and can add stenciled or stamped designs to the surface. The texture can give a great look to decks, driveways and patios.

With a concrete floor, before your application is put down, you can add heated flooring through a radiant heat application. This can take the chill out of a room with a concrete floor. And concrete is a great conductor of heat.

For living spaces where you'r concerned about the hardness of this surface, you can have your decorative concrete floor for high traffic areas and edges of the room and then simply throw down a rug for added comfort.

Concrete flooring is an inexpensive way to make your home look like it's full of rich and expensive natural stone. If you're interested in talking with a concrete flooring expert, you can post your project on Construction Deal. We'll match you up with a flooring pro in your area and you can ask any additional questions you might have. It's a fast, free and easy way to have flooring companies contact you instead of the other way around!

Bamboo Flooring

2006-12-01T15:52:00.000-08:00

Bamboo is on everyone lips when it comes to home remodeling. Why? It's a gorgeous material, it's eco-friendly, and it's renewable. Bamboo has been so prevalent in Asia (and in Asian design) for a reason and it has been making inroads into the United States as a flooring material and a great alternative to hardwoods.

Bamboo floorings are not just for those interested in an environmentally-friendly replacement for hardwood floor. It's booming because provides the look and feel of the hardwood, but giving a room a truly unique style as a maple or pine floor but for much less.

The prices of a bamboo flooring may appear low (typically around $1.50 to $2.00 per square foot) but you want to make sure you have your bamboo flooring finished. That's where most of the cost lies. It can be expensive to cut, sand, coat, and seal the bamboo to make it ready and durable as a flooring material. Finished, the wood can retail anywhere from $2.00 to $10.00 per square foot - depending mostly on the kind of finish sealer that is applied.

Advantages of Bamboo Flooring:

Bamboo is very strong, with serious tensile strength
Affordable
Less flexing and contracting than hardwood, making it more durable
Smaller environmental impact; renewable
Easy to clean
Similar to hardwood - prevent retention of airborne allergens

If you decide to go with Bamboo Flooring:

Keep mats or rugs at doorway entrances to trap debris and dust - this will protect your flooring from harmful contaminants
Dry mop, vacuum or dust the flooring
Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads to clean flooring - water or mild wood cleaner for particularly tough spots
Do not let water stand on the flooring, as with any hardwood. Clean up spills immediately to avoid staining
Protect bamboo flooring from legs of furniture to avoid gouges and scraping

If you need to find a local Bamboo Flooring installation expert, we recommend that you post your request through Construction Deal. We have a network of Bamboo Flooring Contractors to help with your installation and make sure your new floor lasts a long time. It's a free service and it will save you time and money.

Cork Flooring

2006-11-29T10:54:00.000-08:00

Cork floors has been catching on lately because it's extremely durable and, similar to bamboo flooring, is a renewable resource. It's the same substance used with wine bottles. Cork, as a flooring material, has been around for a long time. It's made from the bark of a cork oak tree but it's taken from the tree after a reasonable growth period, so the tree is not destroyed in the process.

Advantages of Cork Flooring

Durability - the cork material is very flexible, and the honeycomb design allows it to expand and move instead of being affected by friction. Many cork floor applications can last as long as the house.

Easy Application - cork can be installed easily in nearly any room in the house. It can be layed over existing flooring, and can even be installed as tiles that click together instead of gluing or nailing them down.

Natural Looks - cork flooring comes in a variety of colors, stains, and designs and can fit in with almost any room style.

Sealed Tight - the cork cellular structure will not rot, resists moisture, and repels insects (such as termites) and germs. It's a great material for the kitchen! Obviously, you could even spill wine on it and it would clean right up.

Inexpensive - a complete cork floor installed in the kitchen can cost up to half of a hardwood floor installation and even more over natural stone flooring.

Acoustics - unlike hardwood, stone, or tile, the cork floor will reduce excessive sound in a room.

Insulation - cork acts as an excellent barrier to heat and cold. The cork floor would be much warmer on bare feet in the cold winter months.

If you'd like to find a local flooring company to consult on a Cork Floor installation, consider Construction Deal. We've got a complete nationwide network of floor companies that could help you improve your home flooring. And it's a free service to all our homeowners!

You probably don't live in a villa in Rome or have a mansion in Beverly Hills. But if you're looking to truly make a statement in your house, you might consider marble flooring. Marble is not exactly inexpensive and it is probably not the best material to use in your kitchen (it's not easy to stand on natural stone for long periods, like you do in a kitchen.)

Consider marble for a special room or area in your house to really add a unique style that will really stand out. People will certainly notice marble in your homes entryway or in guest or master bathroom. The cool, natural beauty of the marble tiles will evoke thoughts of richness and extravagance in any room.

Beauty is more than skin deep when it comes to adding marble flooring to parts of your home. The material is extremely durable, water resistant, and does not need any maintenance (sealers, special cleaners, etc.) Along with the fact that it will add value to your home, a touch of marble would certainly add a touch of class to any house.

If you're concerned that marble flooring might be a bit too cold to step on after your shower, there are many options that will allow your flooring contractor to heat the marble tiles. This way, you'll have the beauty of natural stone and the comfort you desire!
