Ceramic Tile

With today's advanced finishing of porcelain tiles, they have become the leader in tile product choice. Porcelain has more strength for high traffic area, and ceramic is still a great option, especially on walls.  Many tile manufacturers will produce different sizes of the same line, with a range of color, and matching or complimentary designs.

What styles of Hardwood Flooring are there to choose from?

The amount of time it takes to install hardwood flooring in your home will depend on several factors, including:

  • Solid Hardwood

    This is a single piece of solid wood that is usually 3/4 inch thick and can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime.

  • Engineered Hardwood

    This type of flooring is composed of several layers of wood and other materials, with a thin layer of hardwood on top. It is more stable than solid hardwood and can be installed over a concrete subfloor.

  • Parquet

    This type of hardwood flooring is made up of geometric patterns created from individual pieces of hardwood.

  • Bamboo

    Bamboo is a type of grass that is harvested, processed, and used for flooring. It is a sustainable and eco-friendly option.

  • Reclaimed Hardwood

    This type of flooring is made from old and recycled hardwood from structures like barns or factories.

The style of hardwood flooring you choose will depend on factors such as the look you want to achieve, your budget, and the level of durability and stability you need.

How long does it take to install Hardwood Flooring, in my home?

The amount of time it takes to install hardwood flooring in your home will depend on several factors, including:

  • Size of your home

    A larger home will take longer to install hardwood flooring than a smaller home.

  • Complexity of the job

    The complexity of the installation, such as the number of rooms, the presence of stairs, or the need for custom cuts, can impact the time it takes to complete the installation.

  • Installation method

    The method used to install the hardwood flooring will also impact the time it takes. Some installation methods, such as floating, can be completed more quickly than others, like nail-down or staple-down.

  • Experience of the installers

    The experience and efficiency of the installers will also impact the time it takes to complete the installation.

As a rough estimate, the installation of hardwood flooring for an average-sized home can take anywhere from 2 to 5 days, or more. However, this can vary greatly based on the factors mentioned above. To get a more accurate estimate, it is best to discuss the specifics of your project with one of our PHI3 flooring contractors.
