Hardwood flooring

Hardwood flooring is a sure way to enhance the look of your house or flat. Besides being elegant, they are durable, hard wearing and environmental friendly. Wood is both renewable and recyclable natural resource and addsup to thousands of dollars to the value of your home. Once fixed on the floor, there is little or no need to replace it.

Hardwood floors have a unique richness and can glow up the atmosphere of any kind of room. It is difficult to choose among the wide range of hardwood flooring designs available these days. They come in varied widths and colors, be it a high-fashion exotic hardwoods, time-worn hand-sculpted and distressed wood, or timeless traditional designs, you get a rich variety of hardwood options for your home.
These floors are simple to install with locking technology and carry a 25year residential warranty for guaranteed durability. Find below some of the main types of hardwood floors:

Unfinished wood flooring – This type of flooring lacks the finishing touches and need to be manually sanded, buffered, stained and coated on the site that you want to install them on.

Prefinished wood flooring- This type of wood flooring is already sanded and finished and requires you to just install it. Thus it is the most comfortable one to buy and the most common found in stores. Solid wood flooring: This type of hardwood floor is hard to install,remove and refinish. Hence it is not very popular these days.

Engineered wood flooring- These are higher end wood floors , which are made from several layers of veneer wood, glued together. This makes them very adaptable and resistant.

Proper care and maintenance can preserve the durability and beauty of
these floors and add real value to your home.
Also , In recent years returns on
Hardwood Investments have been excellent.

Kowalewski Residence - Belmont Freeman Architects

'Atlantic Beach is an established beach community on Long Island, immediately outside of New York City. It is filled with modest houses from the 1920’s and 30’s in Tudor, Spanish and Art Deco styles. As real estate prices rose in the last decade, the village saw a lot of “tear-down” activity, as older houses were replaced by much larger homes. The Kowalewski residence is an attempt to insert a distinctly modern house into the village context in a manner that is respectful of the scale and architectural traditions of the community...'
