Alternative Wood Flooring
Do you like the look of hardwood but want an alternative that has a sophisticated look, stays within your budget and holds up against the wear and tear of pets, children and…well, daily life!?
LVP – Luxury Vinyl Plank

Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is seeing a resurgence as new technology allows manufacturers to create flooring with distinctive grains and textures that provide a realistic look and feel while maintaining the durability and affordability you want. Laminate is made from compressed wood fibers.
- Laminate floors have a wear layer that makes them durable and long lasting.
- They have a high density fiberboard core
- Laminate uses photographic images to give it a realistic look.
- It’s installed with a tongue-and-groove system that bridges gaps formed from shrinkage.
- Laminate is strong and easily supports the weight of foot traffic.
Cork Flooring
Cork flooring is harvested from Cork Oak tree bark. Some of cork’s properties include:
- It’s naturally insulated and has natural fire resistant properties.
- Cork reduces sound, so it’s good for use in recording studios and theaters.
- It’s honeycomb cells retain air and make it comfortable underfoot, so it’s softer and warmer to the touch than hardwoods. It’s most commonly used in kitchens and home theaters.
- Suberin, a naturally occurring substance in cork flooring, is a natural insect repellant and resists mold and mildew.
- Cork endures wear and resists denting; but heavy furniture can make permanent dents.
- Cork’s earthy odor can be a plus or a negative, depending on the person; just know it can yellow with age and fade in direct sunlight.
- Cork absorbs dust and allergens, making it ideal for those with allergies and sensitivities.
- It’s price point is typically lower than hardwoods.
Rubber & Gym Flooring
Often used for gym flooring, rubber flooring is versatile and easy to install. It also has a multitude of benefits property owners are looking for:
- Its bounce back effect provides the shock absorption athletes need.
- It lessens noise and vibration from impact.
- It comes in many colors, and can be used to add a fun pop of color or for company logo consistency.
- Rubber flooring is anti-static and comfortable under foot.
- It comes in different thicknesses from 3/16” to ½”.

Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo is a grass that grows quickly… up to one foot each day, making it a highly sustainable material.
- It generates 35% more oxygen than most trees.
- It’s comparable to wood floors in durability, and can be found in prefinished or sand & finish options.
- Bamboo floors have a beautiful, exotic look.
- It’s eco-friendly because a cut bamboo plant can regrow in just a few months, while a tree can take 50 years to regrow to its original size.
- Care for your bamboo floor the same as you do for other wood floor types, vacuuming or sweeping weekly and wiping with water or mild detergent as needed.
