Wood, laminate, and different kinds of tiles are the most common types of flooring.
Floors are best put in during the cooler fall months. As summer's heat dissipates and winter's chill sets in, humidity and temperature decrease to a more comfortable range.
Both ceramic and porcelain floors are quite durable. The benefits and applications of each are distinct. Compared to ceramic tiles, porcelain is denser and can withstand moisture better.
A transition strip is a thin molding piece connecting two adjacent floors at an angle. This helps to create a seamless flow from one space to the next. The expansion and contraction of the hardwood floor in response to changes in humidity and temperature is accommodated by the gap between the two floors, which is hidden by the transition.
