Advantage of Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floors are popular with many homeowners for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is that this type of floor is attractive. Unlike carpeting that can become stained or faded, a hardwood floor shines when it is cleaned and gives a home’s interior a tone of elegance. Look at some other reasons why many homeowners go with hardwood floors in several of their rooms and hallways.

Hardwood floors are easy to clean. Many of today’s vacuum cleaners have a setting that allows them to thoroughly clean hardwood floors. Some homeowners use a dust mop to clear away any hair or dust that is on the floor. Of course, a hardwood floor can be cleaned with solutions that make it especially shiny and impressive in appearance. In comparison to many types of carpets, hardwood floors require very little maintenance.

Many homeowners appreciate the ability to be creative with their hardwood floors. For instance, they can purchase a small Persian rug to put on the floor in an area near the door. The floor is all the more notable with the addition of the rug. Also, a homeowner has many choices when it comes to the type of hardwood floor he or she wants installed. There are hardwood floors made of different sorts of wood; some are light in color while others are dark. Also, the grains vary from floor to floor.

Types Of House Flooring

I wouldn’t be enumerating the different types if flooring but rather the types of flooring that I would want to have in my future home. Basically, there are more than ten types of flooring and choosing from them can be a bit hard. I am thorned between hard wood flooring, bamboo flooring or marble flooring. I am also eying Laminate Flooring since it is cheaper and is also scratch resistant. It can also stand high traffic, perfect for the living room or the kitchen area. Also a great flooring for the kid’s playroom.

Bamboo flooring is gaining more popularity due to its color that is unique to bamboo. It is also said to be more environmental friendly as Bamboo is a grass and not a tree. Planting Bamboo, I believed, is easier too.  Hard Wood floorings are of course, can last really long. This has been the most popular choice of home owners. If it is on our second floor, these two are my choice of flooring materials. When it comes to the first floor of the house, as I have mentioned, it can be laminate or marble.

Sati’s Playmats

So while I was looking for a cheap DVD player few weeks ago, I came across a rubber mat that is thicker than the one we are using. It’s more expensive though but it is way better. As mentioned it is thicker and obviously made of  a better quality materials. It also has a lock on its sides. Sati fell in love with the colors. As I took it out of the plastic, she lie down and pretend to sleep! So funny. This week I will buy another set. A set consists of four mats (with a measurement of 2 x 2 feet) and the price is $10. On the way, I will try to look for tactical rifle scopes. This is a best gift for people who loves to hunt. I want to know how much it is on or local stores.
