Fortunately, you will be faced with many choices and will have a wide variety of options that will make it easier to select just the right fit. Hardwood flooring can be installed in any room of your home, from the entry way to the living room, dining room and even bedrooms and hall.

There are many different types of hardwood floors. Solid hardwood flooring is very popular is and still a quite affordable option. It is just as it sounds, solidly constructed and very durable for many years to come.

 

Another type is engineered-wood flooring. These products are constructed in several layers with grain alternating in opposite directions which gives this type of hardwood flooring more stability in for installation in areas where solid wood flooring cannot be installed. Engineered-wood flooring also comes in various ply’s, or layers, and is easy to install.

Acrylic Impregnated - Wood Flooring is another option you will have when choosing to install hardwood flooring in your home. Here, the wood grain has been injected with an acrylic material that makes it very hard and durable. This is a great choice for highly traffic areas such as the entry way. It is also used in many commercial buildings where people are constantly walking. It comes in various colors and patterns and works great for many decors.

 

There are also many different styles of hardwood flooring. One is strip-wood flooring with a lineal tongue and grove construction. This can come in solid or engineered, finished or prefinished. It is very popular in part because of it ease of installation.

Plank wood flooring is much the same as the strip described above, except the individual pieces are usually narrower in size. Again, it is available in solid or engineered, finished or prefinished.

 

Parquet is another style that is widely used in many homes today. Here, pieces of hardwood flooring are constructed into a pattern or design that is most often geometric in nature.

 

When choosing the type and style of hardwood flooring you will install in your home, compare the prices of each to ensure it will fit within your budget. Choose the type and style that will best fit each room and consider details such as room size, the color of the walls and furnishings and whether or not the room would be considered a highly trafficked area.

Rubber Landscaping Mulch – Recycled vs. Virgin Rubber  

                Check out one of the newest recyclable products on the market today. Rubber mulch is a eco-friendly way to recycle and beautify your lawn at the same time. Consider the nearly 3 million tires that are placed on dump heaps across this nation every year. They drastically take up space in landfills unless they can be recycled into a usable product that producers will buy. When shredded into landscape mulch, the fact that rubber tires do not decompose becomes an asset instead of a liability.

                Several years ago, we placed rubber mulch around our shrubbery. Today, it is as fresh as it was the first day we set it out. We are pleased with the results we have seen. Rubber mulch does not fade easily like ordinary organic mulches. Nor does it decompose easily like bark mulch or pine needles. It has remained bright brown in appearance. When rains and winds come along, it has been heavy enough to stay in place instead of blowing about the yard. It hasn’t washed away from the landscape beds, either. Moisture is allowed to penetrate its surface, and bedding plants thrive with this ground cover.

                Rubber mulch is an excellent product for playgrounds. Its rubbery texture makes it ideal for tumbles and falls by small children.  Rubber mulch meets safety standards when it is only applied at a six inch depth rather than a nine inch depth, so less is necessary.        

                Before buying rubber mulch, measure the area you plan to mulch. Pay attention to the packaging to determine how many packages to buy. Look at the color to see that you have bought the same kind. It may be hard to go back later and match up what you have put down.

                Rubber mulch may be more expensive, but it will be worth it in the long run. Its durability makes it a product you will enjoy for years to come.  The labor you put it into will be worth your time when you consider that it will outlast the other organic mulches on the market.

                When mulching, there are factors to be considered. Landscapes work best when mulched later in spring rather than earlier. That way, the ground has a chance to warm up. Seedlings have a chance to begin sprouting under the warmer conditions.  When seedlings are a few inches high, place thin mulch around them. The idea is to protect them, not to squelch them. Make sure the area has been weeded well before spreading mulch. A thicker layer in areas that do not have young seedlings will keep down the amount of weeds. The idea is to squelch them! Do not place mulch too close to woody stems or trunks because it could cause moisture.  Mulch in any form can trap moisture, which invites pests.
