Can you tap dance on your hardwood floors?


 

No — not unless you want them to look really old, really, really fast.  But, there are special dance floors you may buy, especially if you take a look at floormall.com.  Professionals use them — they are like a very sturdy linoleum.  But, if you only feel the urge occasionally, and can restrain yourself from tapping on your hardwood, thcn perhaps you can utilize an outdoor space with an old piece of linoleum down on it, or the basement.   Even so, Rockette on over to that site right away and see what they have.  Spring is soon upon us and your floors may be all worn out from the regular dancing that your guests enjoyed during the fantastic New Year’s Eve party you threw for them.  Perhaps you’ve sanded and buffed until there’s barely any wood left in your hardwood floors.  Ah, but what about laminate flooring, you may sigh.  No good for tap dancing either.  You’d be bouncing up and down like you were on a trampoline.  They don’t call laminate a floating floor for nothing. 

 

Hardwood floors can last a very long time, sometimes a hundred years or more.  Careful cleaning and the

occasional sanding and buffing or staining, or both, will keep them fresh for generations.  Clean them with a damp mop dipped in warm water and vinegar If you want the antique look, then recycled hardwood is the answer.  Of course, holding a tap dance party would do the trick in no time at all.  The wood used for hardwood floors can come from most anywhere on the planet.  We have to be a little cautious these days so that the rain forests are not denuded, or a species of tree goes extinct because someone wants a one of a kind floor in their mansion.  There are certainly varieties of exotic woods, such as zebra wood, that will lend an international air to your room, without denuding the planet of the species.  These rarer woods do cost more, but that’s probably to be expected.  Check out a few exotic species of wood flooring at floormall.com.  They have a lot more substance than a “regular” mall with its corn dogs on a stick, or major appliances in electric blue.

 

One solution for your tap dancing tendencies, if you don’t have  a basement, money for a dance studio, or it rains all the time, is to make yourself a portable section of flooring that you can practice on.  Perhaps a company has a scrap left over from a dance floor installation and you can buy it at half price.  All you need to do is frame up a couple of sheets of plywood, attach the floor, and voila!  You’ll be Ginger Rodgers or Fred Astaire in no time.  Play a CD of Singing In The Rain and perhaps Gene Kelly will be your inspiration.  Just tap on over to floormall.com (virtually of course) and see what they have.  Spring will soon be upon us and it’s time to get those toes a tappin’.

FloorMall.com – Learn, shop and save all in one trip.


Want to go to a university, shop at the mall, and save 5% on all purchases during January?   You can do all of this and more at Floormall.com.  We’re talking flooring here — all kinds and types and materials — both knowledge of and the learning about and sometimes purchasing of flooring. Whether it’s real hardwood floors, laminate, engineered hardwood, bamboo, tiles of a myriad variety, and other (sometimes on the more unusual end of the spectrum) flooring.

Spring will soon be upon us and often, besides the usual thoughts on Spring, homeowners may be considering a Spring cleaning of their own for one or several floors of their home.  If your knowledge about flooring is, shall we be kind, poor at best, then there’s a solution for that at the floormall.com university.  In the comfort of your own home you can browse through many useful categories.  How do you install a bamboo floor?  Is your budget low and you need to get a few bargains in the flooring area?  Their 5% discount will surely help with that.  What the heck is colored grout, and where do you use it?  Can I lay down some nice floors myself?  What if I need a professional floor installer to do it?  How do I know they will do a good job?  All of these answers and more will be found at Floormall.com and the university they have online.

When I get the hardwood floors installed or do them myself, what if the dog tracks in that sticky Spring mud?  Do I get the mop and soap out and lather detergent all over the hardwood?  No!  Do you want your real woods floors to end up looking like a roller coaster?   Once you get hold of your flooring, you need to find out how to take care of it.  There are so many methods for the various types, that taking a few notes and giving the floormall.com website and their university of knowledge a good looking over, is well worth it.  How do you lay those gorgeous, but teeny colored glass mosaic tiles on your backsplash?  Don’t they take forever to put on behind your counters?  These types of tiles come on a net-backed sheet and they are actually quite easy to  get up there.  You can even pop a few off the backing and replace them with other colors, to give your backsplash a custom look.

For your floors, tiles have to be studied as to their usage and wear, and size and color and direction of placement.  What about natural stone tiles, or ceramic, or unglazed, or carpet tiles?  Some of us may have been unaware of the latter.  These are exceptionally useful kinds of floor coverings for a family room.  Spill some finger paint or coffee on one?  Whip it up and replace it in ten seconds.  No problemo.  Your money is hard earned these days.  Check out some fantastic tips and bargains and varieties of flooring at floormall.com.  They won’t charge you to look and browse to your heart’s content..

Hmmm….Valentines day and Flooring?


Valentines Day and Flooring

Valentines Day and Flooring

Don’t know what to get your sweetie for Valentine’s Day?  What about a wonderful new floor in the bedroom or family room?  There are so many superior products out there today that choosing one that suits you, wears well for your lifestyle, and appeals to your esthetics will be easy.  Using a great website like floormall.com enables you to compare styles, products, brands, suitability, colors, and get info on the different flooring choices, plus decide upon many other factors.

 

Hardwood Flooring on Valentines Day

Hardwood Flooring on Valentines Day

Real hardwood comes in so many varieties and widths and thicknesses and its durability is legendary.  Many houses, hundreds of years old, still retain their original hardwood floors.  If the hardwood is fairly thick, then these floors can be sanded and rebuffed and stained and repaired several times over.  Engineered wood is a layer of real wood over several base products.  Engineered wood can be made to look antique or weathered, because it is a top layer of real wood, like any solid hardwood out there.  Real hardwood as long as it’s not taken from rain forests or other protected areas, is a renewable and green resource, and especially if it’s recycled hardwood.  Recycled can come from barn wood, other houses or even ancient timber that was logged a hundred years ago and has until recently, lain on the bottom of a river or lake.  Because some of the trees that had been cut down back then were extremely old, these logs are exceptional in their beauty but can cost quite a bit more.  Engineered wood styles can be studied at a site such as floormall.com, and there you may also compare prices, availability and pros to install the flooring for you. 

 

Other choices for new flooring for your sweetie could be bamboo flooring, now available with lower VOC resins and in the standard lighter color, caramelized, and many strip variations; a gorgeous wall to wall room of carpeting or a great ethnic area rug or even carpet squares in a retro design; real stone or ceramic tiles (and these come in a huge variety of sizes and colors and durability); laminate flooring that looks like stone or wood; and other flooring in numerous materials and with a wide range of cost and other factors.   And, if you’ve ever looked through a pile of rugs at a big box store, you know how difficult that can be.  Checking out all of the styles on a great website like flooringmall.com is so much easier.

Flooring – After the Holidays and the Economy.


Buying flooring during the recession

Buying flooring during the recession

Are your floors looking worse for wear after all of those holiday parties?  The economy is still tight and money for a few needed home renovations even tighter, but some of your floors have to be repaired, you are thinking to yourself, before you invite any more guests over.  Possibly, a few left your last party early, because they felt that the floor in the kitchen looked like something from a B grade horror movie.  That might be okay for Halloween, but not for Aunt Lydia’s Sunday tea party.   Check out the FloorMall.com’s site and see what they have.  You can compare side by side, look at different materials and colors from different manufacturers, check stock and get some recommendations for every room in your home.  After all, a house is not a home unless people can walk safely around in it, without recoiling in horror at the pitted and chipped tiles in your family room or kitchen.

Speaking of family rooms, they are usually the most used room in your home, other than the kitchen.  Floormall.com has some great deals going for the first of the year and you can even find a professional to install whatever flooring you choose if you don’t like the thought of doing it yourself.  The additional holiday food, although delicious, makes it even harder to bend over and install new flooring.  New Year’s resolutions may include starting on a couple of home projects, such as new flooring.  Why not also do your part by going green in 2010?  Cement floors, linoleum, real hardwoods and even bamboo all make great flooring for a family room, and they are durable as well.  Measure out your room and determine your budget.  Even if it’s hard to round up a few dollars for some new flooring. they may have exactly what you are looking for over at FloorMall.com.

Using Credit for your flooring purchase

Most retail home improvement stores have cut back on their stock for the holidays, so that inventory was reduced.  While that may be a great idea for them, it certainly can’t help the homeowner, looking to have more than a few square feet of new flooring installed.  There is no better way to compare prices, see what’s in stock, and what different flooring products look like, than searching and then browsing the virtual catalogs such as they have at sites like floormall.com.   A couple of the new and innovative products available to the homeowner may surprise you.  Linoleum is very green these days and the giant grass known as bamboo is so very renewable, as well as being attractive.

Check out your budget and you may be surprised how little it takes to renew the floors in one room of your house.  Looking at the FloorMall.com site will give you some great ideas and it could even be inspiring.  Starting on your list of home improvements, especially if it’s flooring, will give you a great deal of satisfaction.  Flooring done, you may then move on to possibly painting, window coverings replacement, and other accessories renewal.  After one room is done, consider doing another one, and of course, start with new flooring from FloorMall.com.
