Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring is a popular choice among homeowners because of its versatility, beauty and durability. This type of flooring can take on different appearances and styles, from a glossy luxurious finish to a natural and simple one. SQ FLOORING offers many different wood species, color finishes and gloss levels of hardwood, unfinished and prefinished, we  can help you find something that fits your client’s endgame vision!

Hardwood is a timeless flooring option for any space. Wood flooring options can be overwhelming, but our expert staff are here to help you navigate the several species and types of hardwood surface available for your remodel. Take a look at the types of hardwood flooring options to consider.

Hardwood Species

Acacia, Ash, Bamboo, Birch, Cherry, Cork, Elm, Hickory, Kupay, Maple, Mora, Oak, Satin Walnut, Sweet, Gum, Walnut, White Oak. Don’t those wood species sound amazing without even looking at them?

Hardwood flooring can be a statement or conversation piece in a space, and often, it’s the focal point of design.

Acacia

Acacia wood flooring is luxurious and unique. The wood is from tree and shrub species that are native to Australia and Africa, but can also be grown in parts of Asia, the Pacific Islands, and North America. The patterns in the wood are not uniform, so this species gives a unique and different look to every flooring project.

Bamboo

When it comes to unique flooring options, bamboo is the attention-grabber. It has a distinctive look, is sustainable, and resists scratches well. You’ll want to compare durability between bamboo and other wood options you love, but our expert staff are well-equipped to help you make the right decision for your project. Another bonus for bamboo floors is its affordability. It is one of the best high-quality woods for a tight budget.

Birch

Birch wood flooring has a lot of visually interesting patterns and colors, and is often less expensive than other wood flooring options. Additionally, birch floor tends to take stains and finishes much better than other hardwoods. This means you can spend less time and money getting them to just the right shade for your home.

Cork

Cork wood flooring is like bamboo in that it is very eco-friendly. This renewable floor material isn’t just nice looking and good for the environment though; it’s also surprisingly tough and durable. The species used in cork flooring is mainly cultivated in groves found in southern China, but it can be found in many other regions across China.

Hickory

Though it’s growing quickly in popularity, hickory wood flooring is still one of the less common options out there. This gives you the opportunity to have something more unique and special. It’s an especially dense wood that is strong and shock resistant, which makes it perfect for the active family.

Maple

Our maple woods are just as rich as maple syrup. It boasts a delicate grain with creamy-blonde tones, and it has become even more popular in recent years. Be aware, however, of whether you are choosing soft or hard maple. Hard maple typically refers to two specific species of wood floors that come from trees that produce maple syrup. Soft maple is, essentially, any other type of maple wood that is not hard maple. Each species is going to have its own characteristics regarding hardness, strength, and weight. Our experts can help you navigate these options and find the right maple for your home.

Oak

Oak flooring is the most popular and widely available hardwood flooring option in the U.S. This wood is full of character and is easy to stain, which means you can really personalize it to your space. It’s also known for its strength and stability. At ProSource, we offer both solid and engineered oak flooring.

Hardwood Looks

There are many ways to change the appearance of wood, and we’re pleased to offer four different specialties that will give wood a unique, full look. Our flooring experts are always available to answer any questions you may have about these looks or to walk you through the different options. With hardwood flooring, there’s seemingly no end to the customization thanks to the different patterns and styles available, so don’t hesitate to reach out. 

These are different hardwood looks that give each floor an individual look and feel.

Sawn

By having sawn wood, you’ll get a wood full of intricacies and unique patterns. Circle sawn is typically the most common and yields deep, interesting lines and curves.

Scraped

Scraped textures can range from subtle to extreme, but it always gives your wood flooring a unique look that literally cannot be replicated. By using tools like metal gouges, chisels, and hand planes, professionals give your wood an aged texture and more natural, weathered look. They follow the natural flow and grain patterns to personalize it to each piece of wood.

Skip Sawn

This technique will leave only random saw marks visible, which leads to an original and gentler, time-worn surface full of character. This look is incredibly unique and really adds dimension to your space.

Smooth

Still the most popular in hardwood flooring, a smooth texture or look is achieved by very delicate sanding. This gives the wood a silky texture and highlights the grain well.

Variations We Have

We know you view hardwood flooring as a commitment, and we know you’re excited to make it uniquely your own. We can help by offering light, medium, and dark finishes, along with low, medium, and high glosses.

Engineered Wood Vs. Solid Wood

These two options can alter price points. 

Engineered wood is a combination of wood layers that make up a board. It has 100 percent natural wood as the top and bottom layers. In between are five to seven plywood planks that work together to create a highly stable core, flexible to moisture, humidity, and temperature. Engineered wood is recommended in rooms that may be subject to moisture, such as a basement.

Solid wood is one thick plank of natural wood. Each plank is a solid piece that is reliable and durable, which makes it a beautiful and sturdy investment for the home.

Choosing Wood Direction

First, this depends on what type of hardwood you’re using. Next, it depends on personal preference.

If you are using solid hardwood, the wood needs to run perpendicular across the floor joists. This is imperative to ensure your hardwood doesn’t sag and there is no board separation.

If you are using engineered hardwood, you’ll want to be sure you’re getting the right look for the space. For example, the wood should run with the length of the hallway if it’s in a narrow hallway. In a room, spaces will appear larger by following the same technique

Ultimately, there are many incredible choices for hardwood floors. we are happy to help you find the right wood  for your projects….

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is an economical flooring option that usually replicates the style of hardwood. Without breaking the bank, your client can recreate the look of maple, cherry or hickory wood types with our laminate flooring options.

Laminate flooring is known for its incredible versatility, strength, and easy installation. At SQ FLOORING we offer the very best laminate flooring options on the market, which are made from high-quality materials, including premium high-density fiberboard (HDF), a print finish layer and a transparent wear-resistant overlay. 

What Is Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring is a kind of flooring that is made to look like other materials, including ceramic tile, maple and hickory hardwood, and different types of stone, such as opal, limestone, sandstone, and granite. It is made in layers, beginning with a bottom backing layer, a solid HDF core board, a photographic design layer, and is finished with a strong wear-resistant overlay. When combined, these layers provide an incredibly strong, durable surface that is resistant to scratches and bumps, making it the perfect addition to any kitchen or basement. 

Laminate flooring is classified as a type of “floating floor” because it can easily be installed, or locked together, on top of nearly any kind of floor or subfloor without having to glue it down. Like a laminate kitchen counter for your floor, laminate flooring is affordable, sturdy, and easy to install, making it a top choice for trade professionals and their clients, alike. 

Let’s stress the sturdy element of laminate floors. Just because it “floats” doesn’t mean it isn’t a hard and reliable flooring surface. This relies on a quality subfloor as the underlayment, which provides protection from damage. Additionally, a better subfloor makes for a more comfortable cushion. This improves the floor resilience and reduces the clicking sound that can be heard with lower-quality subfloor and laminate materials.

Why Choose LAMINATE 

our laminate flooring materials provide an affordable, yet high-quality alternative to hardwood, stone, marble, or any other kind of flooring. Made with layers of bottom backing material, top-grade HDF core, printed design elements, and premium wear-resistant overlay, laminate flooring materials can mimic wood, stone or tile floors — minus their downfalls. 

Laminate Floors Are Affordable 

Part of what makes laminate flooring a great option is that it is an effective way to save money without compromising the integrity of the floor. Laminate flooring is far more affordable to produce and install than many other types of flooring, which makes it a great option for buyers with a small budget.

Choosing laminate flooring over expensive hardwood, stone, or tile flooring allows buyers to allocate the rest of their budget to other aspects of home improvement that are much more fun and rewarding to splurge on. If you are doing a kitchen remodel complete with new cabinets, light fixtures, sinks and countertops, for example, opting for laminate floors is a great way for you to save money and upgrade to granite countertops or a sink with fun adjustable faucets. With laminate flooring, the possibilities are endless!

Pricing is similar across the board for all types of laminate flooring, whether you want a maple hardwood look or a marble stone style. This is because the manufacturing process for creating laminate floors is the same no matter the color, type, or style. The difference is the photograph that is used to create the unique floor, and that doesn’t alter the price point greatly.

Laminate Floors Can Have Texture

One way that the price for laminate floors can increase is by adding texture. Laminate floors can have a traditional, smooth or glossy finish, or they can be textured. An advantage of adding texture to laminate is that it creates a higher-end looking floor because it has a more unique look. It is also more durable with texture because of the additional number of screen layers used during the manufacturing process. Typically, laminate floors with texture have a longer warranty. 

Laminate Floors Are Easy to Install

Another great thing about laminate flooring is that it is incredibly easy to install compared to other flooring materials like hardwood and tile. This is because laminate floors “float,” meaning that they are not actually secured to the subfloor, and they easily snap together without the need for glue. Part of the reason laminate floors “float” is to allow them room to expand and contract if the humidity levels in the room change over time. 

Given that laminate floors are easily installable and snap together seamlessly, you won’t waste days of your home remodeling project fighting with grout, glue, or any other tedious aspect of tile, hardwood, or carpet flooring. Quick installation is another main reason why many people choose to use laminate flooring in their newly-remodeled homes.

Laminate Floors Are Strong and Eco-Friendly

When weighing flooring options with your client during your next home or business improvement project, be sure to consider the fact that laminate floors are more eco-friendly and stronger than many other kinds of flooring. For many, the term “laminate” evokes a mental image of the old vinyl floor in their grandparents’ kitchen, but, this misconception could not be more wrong. 

Unlike vinyl and other kinds of flooring, laminate flooring cannot be punctured, dented or damaged by sharp or heavy objects and feels like true hardwood beneath the feet. In fact, laminate floors are even stronger than hardwood and are much more comfortable to walk on than other kinds of flooring, which will give your client the best of both worlds. In addition to being one of the strongest and most comfortable flooring materials to walk on, laminate flooring is also incredibly easy to clean, given that it is somewhat moisture-resistant, smooth, and doesn’t collect grime as easily as other flooring materials do. This is a main reason why many homeowners and businesses prefer laminate flooring in their kitchens and basements. 

Something that you may not know about laminate flooring is that it is one of the eco-friendliest flooring options on the market today. Laminate flooring is made from wood chips, sometimes recycled, that are combined with a great deal of pressure. Choosing laminate flooring not only ensures that your floors will be beautiful and strong enough to take a beating, but that you are saving the planet by using wood chips instead of entire trees, like hardwood floors do. 

Another economical option, vinyl flooring commonly takes on the appearance of wood, stone or tile. We offer our vinyl in a variety of colors and types, such as engineered stone or sheet vinyl.

Get To Know The Options and Benefits Of Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring has been a great economical and versatile flooring choice for homes for decades, thanks to its durability and stylish designs. As a flooring experts  we know that finding the right color, type, style and look of vinyl flooring can be time consuming. Luckily, vinyl flooring isn’t what it once was, now boasting styles such as vinyl tile, vinyl sheet, luxury vinyl tile, luxury vinyl plank, and wood-look vinyl. Thanks to advances in technology, vinyl has transformed from the formerly shiny, plastic-looking floors into flooring that can impressively capture the look of ceramic tile, stone and wood.

Here is everything you should know about vinyl flooring, ranging from its purpose to design styles.

Why Choose Vinyl Flooring?

There are many reasons to consider vinyl flooring for your home, ranging from economic decisions to style preferences. Here are five reasons you might want to consider choosing vinyl flooring for your house:

1. It’s resistant to damage, such as mold, mildew and moisture, and it is also resistant to everyday nicks and scratches. 

2. It can be used in multiple rooms, such as the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Basically, it’s perfect for any room that is prone to water damage or spills.

3. It’s an affordable option to get tile, stone or wood-looking floors.

4. It’s easier to clean and maintain. 

5. It’s a more comfortable and warmer material than natural stone, tile or wood.

Vinyl flooring allows you to achieve your dream home style without breaking the bank. Its average lifespan has a minimum of five years, but can last as long as the house if properly cleaned and maintained.

To care for vinyl flooring, all that’s necessary is a regular vacuum and a soapy mop. This will keep vinyl flooring looking shiny and new. We suggest staying away from bleach, ammonia and abrasives, as they might ruin the vinyl material. 

Vinyl flooring is making a comeback, and these days this flooring option is seen as trendy and modern. If you want to stay up-to-date with the times, this type of flooring would be perfect.

The Anatomy of Typical Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring is made of several layers, which is what makes it such a durable and comfortable flooring option. A classic vinyl sheet consists of these basic six layers, from bottom to top:

1. A Base Layer. This is the foundation that will be used to support the other layers of the vinyl sheet. 

2. Fiberglass. This layer keeps the vinyl sheet flat and keeps it from curling. 

3. Cushion Layer. This layer is what makes the vinyl sheet comfortable, adding a nice bounce and texture to the sheet.

4. Pattern Layer. This is the layer that provides the color or design of the vinyl sheet.

5. Wear Layer. This is the layer that shelters the sheet’s design or color.

6. Top Coat. This layer is the overall protective layer that safeguards the vinyl sheet from everyday wear and tear. 

Types of Vinyl Flooring 

If you are looking to completely renovate your flooring, vinyl flooring is an excellent and versatile option. It comes in many colors, such as browns, greys, blacks and tans, and it also comes in a variety of finishes, types, styles and looks. Vinyl flooring come in low and medium gloss levels, and they’re offered in click, floating, glue down and nail down installation types. 

When it comes to vinyl styles, there are two main types: printed and inlaid. Printed vinyl is the less durable of the two, as patterns for this type of vinyl are printed by applying a paper top coat on a thin surface for the design. Inlaid vinyl seeps the pattern and design through the entire thickness of the vinyl flooring, making it heavier and more resistant to chipping and scratching. Your budget will essentially determine which type of vinyl style will suit you best.

In addition to the two different styles of vinyl, vinyl flooring is available in several formats, including solid vinyl tile, luxury vinyl tile and sheet vinyl. Here’s a breakdown of how each of those differs and how to determine which is best for you.

Solid Vinyl Tile (SVT)

Solid Vinyl Tile is a pliable tile that often includes a photographic print coating in your choice of design. It’s generally available in individual 12-inch by 12-inch squares or in strips of three, and it is a great flooring option if you want a vinyl flooring option that is affordable and beautiful. SVT is also generally a more durable type of flooring than tile flooring.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) 

Luxury Vinyl Tile and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) typically have the appearance of natural tiles or stones. By using advanced 3D imaging technology, the material design is photographed and directly transferred to the tile.

LVT features realistic aesthetic textures of tile and it is resistant to denting, moisture, heat and more. It’s the ultimate high-end vinyl flooring option, but it is also generally more affordable than natural stone or wood.

Sheet Vinyl

This type of vinyl flooring is supplied in continuous and flexible sheets that are durable, water-resistant, affordable and versatile in design. Selections typically comes in 6’ or 12’ wide rolls, and there are three main types: felt-backed, vinyl-backed, and modified loose-lay.

● Felt-Backed: The most commonly used type of sheet vinyl, this type adds a layer of felt for floor comfortability and strength. 

● Vinyl-Backed: The least commonly used type of sheet vinyl, this type is only glued at the edges when installed.

● Modified Loose-Lay: Typically installed using double-sided tape, and includes a fiberglass backing to increase strength. 

When it comes to wear layers and surfaces of vinyl flooring, there are three types to choose from. The first is vinyl no-wax, which is essentially a clear top coating that is the least durable and requires the most care. The second is urethane-coated finish, which is a good choice if you are looking for something that is resistant to stains and daily wear-and-tear without much maintenance. The last type is enhanced coatings, which are final touches to vinyl floorings with a urethane-coated finish — one example is aluminum oxide coating.

More Benefits of Vinyl Flooring

Other than being durable and comfortable, one of the most notable benefits of vinyl flooring is that it can come in a variety of finishing looks that are sure to match your client’s style. Whether you like traditional or contemporary designs, you are bound to find something you like in vinyl flooring. Some of the look finishes that vinyl offers 

● Bamboo

● Ceramic

● Concrete

● Linen

● Pattern

● Stone

● Wood

Another benefit of vinyl flooring is that it reduces the noise of footsteps, which is perfect if you have children or pets. Vinyl flooring is also more affordable than other flooring options, and it’s easy to clean and maintain. Thanks to its durability, experts say this type of flooring can last you anywhere from 10 to 20 years, making it one of the longer lasting flooring options.

Overall, vinyl flooring is a beautiful option for you to consider when choosing new flooring

We offer high-quality brands that we trust to provide carpet flooring that is comfortable, durable and stylish — all at competitive wholesale prices.

Finding the perfect carpet flooring for a home can be a daunting task, mostly because there are so many different styles, textures and colors to choose from.

Here is everything you should know about carpet flooring, ranging from its various styles to the benefits of installing carpet flooring.

Why Choose Carpet Flooring?

Carpet flooring looks great in a home, is a comfortable flooring option, and has potential to last  a lifetime if properly cared for. Here are six main reasons to consider carpet flooring:

1. It’s soft. This is probably the biggest appeal of carpet flooring, as carpet fibers obviously feel great on  bare feet.

2. It’s comfortable. To add to the softness, carpet flooring adds a sense of comfort, and is great for rooms where you’ll be more inclined to stand for long periods of time or sit on the floor. Think about it this way — would you rather sit on hardwood or carpet? That’s what we thought.

3. It’s warm. Unlike tile or hardwood, carpet flooring is great at insulating heat, making this type of flooring glorious on cold winter mornings.

4. It’s an economical option. Carpet flooring is a lot less expensive than hardwood and some tile flooring options.

5. It’s safe. Carpet provides a cushion, making it a softer landing for any trips or falls.

6. It reduces sounds and noises in the home. Thanks to the natural insulation of carpet flooring, noise levels in the home are greatly reduced. The carpet serves as a padding so noise can’t bounce around the home’s rooms as easily.

Three Helpful Carpet Tips

No two carpet styles or textures are the same. Each style has its own functional purpose and is designed to cater to different comfort levels. When determining the type of carpet you want to place throughout your home, consider these three tips:

1. Quality over price. 

Like all things in life, you get what you pay for. Higher quality carpets tend to cost more upfront, but they have greater pile density and a tighter twist construction which makes them more durable. This ultimately leads to a longer lifespan.

2. Opt for stain protection.

It’s going to happen. No matter what you do to prevent your carpet from getting soaked in red wine or mud from outside, it’s nearly impossible to prevent life from happening, which is why we suggest you get stain protection for your carpet flooring.

3. Cushioning.

Cushioning is the layer of comfortable spongy material that sits between the carpet and the floor. This padding can also help preserve the carpet so it lasts longer and serves as a safeguard against everyday wear and tear. Splurge a little on the cushioning of your carpet flooring, and we promise you won’t be disappointed.

No matter where you want to place your carpet, keep these three factors in mind before making a final decision. Also check to see if the carpet flooring comes with a warranty — just in case.

Types of Carpet 

Whether you are updating your current carpet or is making the switch to carpet flooring from hardwood flooring, there are many different types of carpet to choose from.

Berber

The term “berber” describes a type of loop carpet originated in North Africa by the Berber tribes. Berber carpet is a versatile style of carpet, fairly durable, and more resistant to stains and spills than other carpet types. In addition, Berber has a reputation of being a less expensive carpet. 

This type of carpet is most commonly seen in a home’s basement or office area, but in our opinion, it’s a beautiful and economical carpet style suited for any room.

Frieze

Frieze (perhaps you’ve heard of them as “California shags”) is a type of shag-style carpet that features long, tightly twisted fibers. It’s best known for its laid-back aesthetics, its naturally clean appearance and, most of all, its comfort.

This carpet type has high durability, making it a great carpet for the high traffic rooms in your home, and it can be made from a variety of carpeting materials, such as nylon, wool, or polyethylene terephthalate.

Loop

Loop is a carpet style that combines looped fibers with straight ones, which allows carpet designers more flexibility to experiment with geometric designs, abstract designs and more. This trendy and unique carpet type was most popular in the 1970s and 1980s, but they’re making a comeback today in contemporary style homes.

These types of carpets should be avoided in high traffic areas of the home, such as hallways or living rooms, as the daily wear-and-tear could mess with the carpet’s design. We suggest this carpet is best suited for bedrooms, dens, basement areas and more.

Plush

Living up to its name, plush carpet is known for its formal appearance and velvety, comfortable texture. Plush carpets originate as loop-styled, then the loops are cut to give it a softer touch.

This type of carpet is a popular residential carpet, and we suggest it for a home’s more formal rooms, such as the dining room, family room, or bedrooms.

Texture

Texture carpets tend to have uneven fiber lengths, giving it a rough aesthetic texture. If you are going for a comfy and informal look, this carpet flooring is the best bet.

Four Common Carpet Fibers

Fun fact: More than 90 percent of carpet made today is made out of synthetic fiber. There are four types of synthetic fibers, which include polyester, nylon, triexta and polypropylene, and there are two main types of natural fibers, which include wool and sisal.

Here’s a list of the four most common fiber varieties of carpet.

Wool

This natural fiber is durable and stain resistant, and it’s an environmentally friendly flooring option.

Nylon

This is the most popular fiber used in carpets, thanks to its durability and resistance to wear-and-tear. We recommend getting a stain-resistant treatment with this carpet flooring, especially if you’re prone to spilling or staining carpets.

Olefin

This fiber type is best if you need a carpet that is resistant to moisture and molding — perfect for your basement or outdoor seating area. Although it’s not exactly the most comfortable carpet type, it makes up in durability.

Polyester

This carpet fiber is extremely stain and fade-resistant, and it is economically friendly. It also boasts softness and is durable against everyday wear-and-tear.

Whatever texture, style or color of carpet flooring you choose, we’re sure you’ll be satisfied with the finished result.
