Carpet comes in a variety of styles, fibers, and colors.

Choose from the following styles:

• TEXTURE: Curled or twisted tufts create a textured surface helping to hide footprints. Textured carpets are especially suited for informal areas but will look great in any room.
• FRIEZE: Tufts are highly twisted and curl at the surface. Especially suitable for high traffic areas.
• SAXONY: Dense yarn tufts closely positioned for a smooth luxurious surface. Saxonies add a touch of elegance to formal settings.
• PATTERN CUT: A combination of loop and cut piles at equal heights make pattern cut carpets a good choice for both formal and informal areas of the home.
• LOOP: Equal or multi-level loops of yarn create a durable yet comfortable carpet for any room in the home.

ColorBody porcelain tiles are extremely hard and impermeable, which makes the tiles highly resistant to moisture, staining and wear. In producing this type of porcelain tile, a color pigment is mixed with the clay body powder, giving the finished tile a consistent color throughout the body of the tile. This type of tile withstands temperature extremes, and may be used in exterior applications, including pool linings.

These porcelain tiles are extremely hard and impermeable, which makes the tiles highly resistant to moisture, staining and wear. In producing this type of porcelain tile, a colored glaze is added to the surface of the tile, enhancing the visual presentation. This type of tile withstands temperature extremes, and may be used in specific exterior applications, including pool linings.

Unlike the types of tile described above, natural stones are not manufactured. They are cut and honed from large blocks of stone which are mined from large stone quarries. Natural stones are obtained from all over the world, and include granite, travertine, marble, limestone and slate. One beautiful characteristic of natural stone is that there may be extreme variation in color and veining from tile to tile. This characteristic is common in many types of stone, and is part of the inherent beauty of using a natural product in your home. Natural stones may also be cut into slabs for use on countertop applications.

Quarry tile is an unglazed tile manufactured from natural clays and shale. It has a thick, dense body with a high-resistance to moisture and staining. Like ColorBody porcelain tile, quarry tile has a consistent color throughout the body of the tile.

The surface texture of the quarry tile provides a natural slip resistance, and abrasives can be added to further enhance the slip resistance qualities of the tile. For this reason it is commonly used in commercial applications.

The term "ceramic tile" is often used as a generic name for all types of tile. But the composition of true ceramic is very different from that of the other types. Ceramic is made primarily of clay mixed with various minerals and water. This composition is then processed with heat to create the solidified product. Since ceramic material is porous, the top surface is usually sealed with a glaze. The glazed surface is referred to as the design layer since it determines the tile’s finished color, design and texture.

Glazed ceramic tile is very durable, and when properly installed and cared for, it will last longer than any non-tile material used for the same purpose. It is also one of the easiest surfaces to clean, and because of its composition, it will not absorb odors, nor support allergens or bacteria. When coated with a Grade III or higher glaze, ceramic tile is highly resistant to scratching and moisture. Another important feature is that it will not burn, emit toxic fumes or scorch.

Glass tile is a very strong building material* that is impervious to water and freeze/thaw resistant. This long-lasting durability further adds to its sustainability.

Because of its handcrafted nature and broad range of translucent and iridescent colors, glass tile is an exceptionally beautiful building material—an ideal choice for helping people create beautiful and comforting living spaces, conducive to health and productivity.

Resilient flooring refers to flooring materials which have a relatively firm surface, yet characteristically have “give” and “bounce back” to their original surface profile from the weight of objects that compress its surface. It has long been the most popular hard surface flooring in the United States.

Resilient flooring materials are made in various shapes and sizes including both tile and roll form. Common types of resilient flooring include:

• Vinyl Composition Tile
• Vinyl Tile and Sheet Flooring
• Linoleum Tile and Sheet Flooring
• Rubber Tile and Sheet Flooring
• Cork Tile and Sheet Flooring

Because of its durability, comfort under foot, aesthetic appeal, long lasting beauty, and cost effectiveness, resilient flooring is used in a wide range of commercial and residential applications. The ease of cleaning and removing spills as well as the overall moisture resistance are important reasons why so many homeowners and commercial building owners select resilient flooring.

In residences, resilient flooring is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, family rooms and increasingly in other areas of a house or apartment where rugs are used in conjunction with resilient flooring. In residences occupied by hypersensitive persons, resilient flooring is commonly used because these floors can be easily cleaned and do not tend to trap dust, which when combined with moisture, can produce microbial contamination.

Commercial resilient flooring has long been the most popular flooring used in schools, health care facilities, and mercantile settings. In schools, resilient flooring offers a cost-effective floor, which is easily and economically maintained and can last for many years before needing replacement. In health care facilities, resilient flooring is commonly used because it is impervious to water, resists stains, and can easily be disinfected, thus providing significant sanitary advantages over other types of flooring surfaces. Because of its durability and the availability of a wide range of colors and designs, resilient flooring has long been a favorite of stores and shops in creating design statements.

Because of its performance attributes and wide variety of colors and designs, resilient floors are frequently used in laboratories, cleanrooms, computer rooms, lavatories, super markets, drug stores, lobbies, storage areas, spas, dormitories, libraries and restaurants.

Prefinished flooring is solid hardwood flooring with a finish of aluminum oxide applied to the surface and a micro-bevel applied to the edges. Aluminum oxide provides added resistance to household hazards such as scratches, scuffs, and dents. As they are already finished, these products require no sanding or staining once the floor is installed, eliminating the possibility of finish misapplication after installation is complete.

Engineered flooring is a great innovation that offers increased dimensional stability while also being a genuine wood product. This product can also be installed in areas and on grades where solid hardwood cannot, such as in basements, below grade, and in areas with minor moisture. It can also be glued down or "floated" in addition to being nailed down. The wear layer on top of the core is prefinished. This means that it requires no finishing or staining and, with the exception of the time it takes a glue-down installation to set, it can be walked on immediately after installation.

Granite is one of the most popular building materials. It has been used for thousands of years in both interior and exterior applications. Granite dimension stone is used in buildings, bridges, paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Indoors, polished granite slabs and tiles are used in countertops, tile floors, stair treads and many other design elements. Granite is a prestige material, used in projects to produce impressions of elegance and quality.

Granite by definition is a common; course grained, extremely hard, igneous rock consisting chiefly of quartz, mica and feldspar with some other minerals splashed here and there for variety. The minerals occur in different proportions, giving each its own unique color, texture, and structure. Due to the rock forming minerals in granite it scores high on Mohs's hardness scale making it a great candidate for any application. Since granite is also seemingly unaffected by acidic foods it seems to be the number one choice for kitchen countertops. However besides your kitchen countertop, granite is steadily finding its way on top bathroom vanities, shower walls, tub surrounds or your family room fireplace, this stone will very easily withstand everyday wear and tear and remain the focal point of any room.

Laminate is a colorful, moderately durable surface that can liven up any space at a fraction of the cost of other countertop options. Laminate's fun and inexpensive character makes it popular among those who wish to change the look and feel of their kitchen without the pressure to make a decision for life.

Marketed under such trade names as Formica, Wilsonart, and Nevamar, laminate now comes in popular designs that resemble wood, granite, stone, and engineered stone. Combined with a beveled or curved edge, the designs can appear very realistic.
