Flooring

• When building a home, selecting the flooring material is an important decision. Not only is the flooring one of the most visible building materials, but you also want something that is functional and easy to clean. Natural materials, such as hardwood and bamboo, are often preferred over vinyl or linoleum for appearance, but some natural materials have additional benefits. Cork flooring, for example, naturally repels insects, mold and microbes. This type of flooring is soft on the feet and can be very attractive. You may even be able to find recycled cork flooring for a more eco-friendly option.
