To meet the demands of the small home renovation market, Johnson Hardwood has designed a flooring series that is not only attractive and durable, but is also easy on the wallet. The Frontier series is constructed with birch and has an engineered structure for a more versatile installation, says Danny Chen, Johnson Hardwoods Vice President of Product Development. This floor comes in the basic color stains to accommodate every interior style color combination. The panels are quarter-sawn to draw the attractive grain pattern. We had our budget-minded customers in mind, and gave them an affordable floor but with a custom look. Each plank is hand-carved and hand-stained in the Johnson Hardwood premium standards.

The Frontier series will be on display at the 2014 Surfaces Expo. The largest flooring expo of the year in the U.S. Colors are light Homestead, brown with orange tint Tomahawk, red tint Dakota, and darker Bison taking names reminiscent of the American frontier. Birchs wavy grain patterns and hand-sculpted planks are sure to make this floor a standout. Five-inch wide width, 3/8-inch thickness, and up to 47-inch flooring planks allows for an easy to layout random flooring pattern.

Green flooring doesnt always need to shout, Im green!

Todays sustainable flooring for homes can be subtle, practical and reasonably priced. Green flooring options can includes cork, bamboo, sustainably harvested lumber, salvaged materials and many others.

Consumers have exponentially more choices now than a few years ago. But partly because sustainable flooring has evolved so quickly, selecting the best types for your home and getting them installed properly can prove challenging.

Your choices matter because green-flooring materials conserve resources, helping to prevent climate change.

Green flooring also reduces pollution from manufacturing. Using sustainable materials, along with related green products such as flooring adhesives and finishes, improves indoor air quality as well.

Find it

Make durability your first priority. Nearly any flooring material that lasts for many years, still looks good and does its job can be considered somewhat green. Get recommendations from friends, stores and contractors for durable flooring for specific rooms. Stay away from the cheapest flooring materials.

Youll conserve the most resources if you keep your existing flooring, so look into refurbishing or refinishing it instead of replacing your floor.

To explore the wide range of green flooring materials, start by visiting websites of stores offering selections of two or more types.

These include national chains Green Depot, Lumber Liquidators, Home Depot and Lowes and the Seattle store Greenhome Solutions. Some retailers will send you samples of green flooring products for a nominal fee.

Sophomore students Ian Keppler, Joe Reidl and Kyle Katsios stand in front of a doghouse they built at class in their building trades class.

Members of the freshman class stand with a doghouse they built in their building trades class.

SPARTA Building Trades teacher Steve Wagner of Wantage has been donating doghouses to local animal rescues since 2008.

Its a part of the curriculum, Wagner said. It gives students an excellent breakdown of all phases of construction from flooring to 2x4 framing, trim work, staining, painting and roof installation.

Wagner came up with the idea to donate doghouses built by Vo-Tech students after encountering One Step Closer Animal Rescue volunteers at the Newton Walmart, during a bake sale event to raise funds.

The students are doing something good, and at the same time, learning part of the trade, Wagner said. Besides construction, building trades also covers electricity, plumbing, dry-wall installation, low-pressure boiler systems and industrial maintenance. Wagner explains most of the materials used to build the doghouses are either donated or recycled, and that all building trades students freshmen through senior contribute to the construction of the doghouses.

Wagner builds about two houses a year with his students. In the past, the classes have donated the doghouses to the following non-profit, no-kill rescues: Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary in Middletown, N.Y., Father Johns Animal House in Lafayette and O.S.C.A.R. in Sparta.

O.S.C.A.R., which wasnt in need of a doghouse, referred Wagner to Pets Alive, who is this years recipient of the doghouse that was built in November and December.

It is quite an experience," Freshman Brandon Hall, 14, of Wantage said. "There is a lot to do when building a doghouse. I liked framing the walls and roof the best.

Mississauga, Ontario (PRWEB) December 30, 2013

Coswick Hardwood Inc. is thrilled to launch a new line of European-style wood flooring, Chevron collection. The new line will be presented at the Surfaces show in Las Vegas January 28-30th, 2014, and will be available in North America in early 2014.

The distinguishing characteristic of Chevron flooring is the 45 degree diagonal cut at the end of each plank that allows individual pieces to be laid in a zig-zag pattern. Chevron style calls for impeccable geometric precision, which, in turn, makes it a more elegant, visually rich surface, as well as allows for more variation in installation patterns.

Coswick Chevron collection includes nine designer floors, manufactured from white oak, ash, and American walnut and available in several surface finishes. Use of 2-layer T&G engineered technology not only allows Coswick to manufacture a wider plank, but also ensures superb stability in a wide range of interiors, temperatures and climates.

Coswick is one of few hardwood flooring manufacturers to offer a full lifetime structural warranty on all engineered floors.

Historically, emergence of Chevron flooring signaled the evolution of more geometrically complex styles in flooring across Europe, said Mr. Vladimir Ianovski, founder of Coswick Hardwood Inc. Use of state-of-the-art technology to create the new Chevron collection allowed us to make the classic flooring style found in European palaces and chateaus available for just about any type of modern interior.

Chevron-style flooring is found in numerous palaces and chateaus across Europe, including the Louvre, royal palaces and medieval castles in the Loire Valley - Amboise, Villandry, Montsoreau, Saumur, Azay-le-Rideau, Langeais, Chambord, Chenonceau, Blois, Brissac and many more.

Coswick Chevron flooring will be available in North America in early 2014.
