| Wood works well in any room, though it's not a first choice for
baths or laundry rooms. Wood floors are available in solid one-piece
boards or in the form of engineered wood. This composite consists of
a hardwood veneer top-layer laminated to lower layers of softwood
backing that inhibit warping. It can be refinished and restained,
giving it enduring value in the home.
Natural beauty available in various shades of color:
Dark:
Strong, rich and dramatic. Turn the focus of the
room to the floor with these bold colored species. From Mahogany to
exotics, bring your décor to life with these sophisticated
colorations.
Medium
Warm, quiet and subtle. Medium colored styles
highlight warm red and gold tones. Compliment almost any color
scheme with these oaks and traditional hardwood species.
Light
Clean, clear and natural. Light colored looks
from Maple and Birch to Ash or Pine. Use these floors to open up a
room and provide a neutral palette on which to build your décor.
Laminate wood flooring offers high-performance and
outstanding durability.
Laminate offers the beautiful appearance of a real hardwood
floor, but with exceptional performance that will holdup from the
wear and tear from kids, pets, and spills. Laminate floors are

real hardwood floors.
