Selecting The Right Flooring

Today's flooring choices has become overwhelming with often hundreds of options to choose from. Improvements in manufacturing methods and in installation systems has created many additional flooring options for home decorating. Discovering what is the best choice can seem mind-boggling for many homeowners. The flooring guides were created to help give homeowners a better understanding of the various types of floors and whether they will meet your needs and expectations.


Flooring Guides

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring offers a wider selection of sizes, colors and species and finishes than ever before. Hardwood flooring has a prestigious look which adds true value to your home. Companies offer two distinctive types of hardwood flooring: traditional hardwoods and specialty hardwoods.   In addition, bamboo flooring is also available in select markets. 

All of these options come in different styles and tones, with elegant textures that add an estate appeal to any room. 

Laminate flooring
Nixon Laminate flooring features the most realistic looking laminate flooring. Achieve the look of rustic, hand scraped wood or stylish exotic wood at a more affordable price point with Nixon Laminate flooring. Laminate flooring can also capture the look of stone and ceramic. Not only does laminate flooring affordably imitate the look of natural wood and stone, but is durable and long-wearing.

Laminate flooring is a superb choice because, quite simply, no other type of floor covering comes close to providing you with such a wide variety of options. Whatever look you want for your home, be it rustic stone, soothing ceramic or classic wood like beech, oak, maple, cherry or walnut, it can likely be had with laminate flooring, and all at lower cost than the real thing. But let it be said, there is nothing unreal about laminate, that's because quality, style and durability come as standard!

Flooring manufacturers have been quick to catch on to the laminate trend and many now produce laminated floor planks and tiles in a bewildering array of styles, colors, textures and in a variety of different install formats, such as gluedown, click lock and floating amongst others. 

A few long established manufacturers, such as Pergo and Armstrong, have become household names. Others are making a name for themselves by producing and bringing to the market high quality flooring in new styles and finishes that are quite literally leaving consumers floored! These are just a few of the companies producing quality laminate floorcoverings in various styles.

Such a broad choice can make it confusing for buyers to choose the right floor, even more so when you throw all the various tongue and groove systems, AC Ratings and choices of Hard Press and Direct Press Laminate options into the mix, so here at Nixon Flooring Co., we aim to inform you about the different brands, types, options and colors so that you can confidently proceed with purchasing a laminate floor that is right for you. 
Please browse our site to learn about the benefits of laminate floor coverings, their durability and how affordable they are. We hope that you too will become the proud owner of a laminate floorcovering that speaks volumes about who you are and what good taste you have when it comes making home improvements. 

Laminate flooring combines natural looking designs with a tough, durable finish and can be used in almost any area of the home. Laminate floors also offer realistic designs and can replicate the characteristics of the popular handscraped hardwood floors.

Not all laminate floors are the same in quality and endurance. More and more floating floors are being offered for both laminate and hardwood flooring styles.

 
 

Tile
Tile continues to grow in popularity as a floor covering, with good reason.

  • Tile has a natural, handcrafted look that's durable and easy to care for.
  • Tile works well in areas with high foot traffic, and it's especially suited to entry areas where water and dirt enter the house.
  • Design patterns are limitless when using all of the possible combinations of size, texture and color.
  • You can further expand your creative toolbox with hand painted tiles and colored grouts.
  • By combining various geometric layout and numerous trim tiles your design options are practically limitless.

Selecting Tile
Finding a tile you like is easy. Just make sure it's the right one for your floor and choose a tile that's rated for the area you where you plan to install it. Entryways need a hard, abrasion-resistant, moisture-proof tile. Baths require a moisture-proof non-slip material. Slip-resistant tile is treated with an abrasive material to "rough up" the smooth surface for safety. Some tiles are rated for indoor or outdoor use only, others can be used in either application.
Floor tile is usually 1/2" to 3/4" thick, manufactured in squares measuring 4"x4" up to 24"x 24". Other shapes, such as octagonal and hexagonal are available. (Wall tile is thinner and comes in squares from 3"x 3" up to 6"x 6".)

  • Mosaic tiles are two inches square or smaller and can be installed individually. Mosaic tiles are also available in pre-mounted paper or fabric mesh sheets

Tile Ratings
All tile feels hard, but some types of tile are actually harder than others. Tile is rated by a series of standardized tests. The tests evaluate a tile's relative hardness (the Moh scale), its ability to stand up to wear and the percentage of water absorbed.
The Porcelain Enamel Institute hardness ratings are:

  • Group I - Light Traffic: residential bathroom floors where bare or stocking feet are the norm.
  • Group II - Medium Traffic: home interiors where little abrasion occurs. Don't use in kitchens or entries.
  • Group III - Medium-Heavy Traffic: any home interior.
  • Group IV - Heavy Traffic: homes or light to medium commercial areas.
  • Group V- Extra Heavy Traffic: use it anywhere.

These ratings are important, but don't get too bogged down in analysis — they serve to help you find the right tile for your application.
Porosity
Pay closer attention to the ratings test that measures the percentage of water absorbed, or porosity. A tile's porosity is critical especially when choosing tile for kitchens and baths, since these areas need moisture proof flooring. Porous tile should not be used outdoors where cold weather produces freeze/thaw cycles. The classifications for the porosity of tile are: Impervious (least absorbent), Vitreous, Semi-vitreous, and Non-vitreous (most absorbent).
