[:en] The type of flooring could make a significant difference in the appearance and finishing of your project. Good looking flooring could enhance the value of the home and could possibly attract new customers. Let’s read about the most popular flooring types used by home builders and learn how to choose the right flooring type. 1 Hardwood Flooring One of the favorites types of flooring. Hardwood flooring presents a combination of beauty and durability that you would rarely have on a flooring type. Hardwood flooring comes in Maple, Pecan, Beech, Cherry, Oak, Pine, Birch, Walnut, Hickory and more. This type of flooring provides a long-lasting product, wear resistant surface that could be refinished if necessary. However, certain types of hardwood flooring might darken with age and some others could shrink and expand creating gaps in the floor surface. 2 Bamboo Flooring One of the latest additions of flooring types, the bamboo flooring could be a greener solution when compare to traditional flooring materials. Bamboo flooring is durable, elegant and comes in a variety of colors usually ranging from honey brown to light tan. It provides a strong, clean surface, but could darken over time or when exposed to sunlight. Bamboo flooring should not be left wet. Manufactured bamboo floors are typically made available in planks with either vertical or horizontal-grain orientation. In vertical bamboo floors, the component pieces are stood vertically on their narrowest edge and then press laminated side to side. The effect is a lined, almost uniform look to the surface of the finished floor plank. In horizontal bamboo floors, the slats are arranged in a horizontal direction, on their widest edge, and then joined side by side with adjacent pieces using a high-pressure laminate system. 3 Ceramic Tile When selecting flooring type that requires waterproofing, ceramic tile is the best alternative. Ceramic tile could be used as floor tiles, indoors, or as counter tops. Some types of ceramic tiles with high gloss finish tend to scratch over the time. Ceramic tiles with unglazed finish are the best alternative for outdoor flooring because of the possibility of standing water. Finishes available are: matte, embossed, glazed and textured ones for anti-slip. Ceramic tiles made of porcelain color through tile body, are the best to hide scratches or damages due to their composition. One of its biggest drawbacks is that grout lines could be very hard and difficult to clean and low quality tiles may chip. 4 Laminate Flooring One of the cheapest flooring types available, laminate flooring are very easy to maintain. Laminate flooring provides a strong, durable surface that can resist burns, scratches, and chipping. It is an excellent solution for high traffic areas, resembles natural materials and comes in a wide range of colors and designs. However, laminate flooring could not be refinished and can be scratched easily. For installations in high-moisture rooms, select laminates designed for this use. Laminate flooring has grown significantly in popularity, perhaps because it may be easier to install and maintain than more traditional surfaces such as hardwood flooring. 5 Marble Tiles Marble tiles are one of the most durable and versatile tiles to use. They can be used for your floors, walls and hallway columns. These tiles are easily cleaned and maintained. They are also very easy to engrave with stylish textures and designs that suit your artistic tastes. Marble tiles make an elegant foyer and come in many colors. It comes in a wide range of colors and variations and is used in such things as sculpture as well as architecture and a building material for thousands of years, but its main use is in flooring. The tiles come in different sizes, usually around 12×12″ and are easy to install yourself. 6 How to Install Cork Flooring. How Much Will it Cost, Pros and Cons Cork flooring is a great choice for play areas or commercial spaces where there is a desire for a comfortable walking and standing. [:es] El tipo de suelo podría hacer una diferencia significativa en la apariencia y el acabado de su proyecto. Bueno suelo mirando podría aumentar el valor de la casa y, posiblemente, podría atraer a nuevos clientes. Vamos a leer acerca de los tipos más populares del suelo utilizados por los constructores de viviendas y aprender a elegir el tipo de suelo de la derecha. 1 Pisos de madera dura Uno de los tipos favoritos de suelos. Pisos de madera presenta una combinación de belleza y durabilidad que usted rara vez tienen en un tipo de suelo. Pisos de madera viene en Maple, pacana, haya, cerezo, roble, pino, abedul, nogal, nogal y más.

Sin embargo, ciertos tipos de pisos de madera puede oscurecerse con la edad y algunos otros podrían contraer o expandir la creación de huecos en la superficie del suelo. 2 Suelo de bambú Una de las últimas incorporaciones de tipos del suelo, el suelo de bambú podría ser una solución más verde cuando se compara con los materiales del suelo tradicionales.

[:en]10 tips for homes with wooden furniture[:es]10 Tips para hogares con muebles de madera[:]

[:en] 1. To clean the finish on your wood furniture just use warm water and mild dish soap. Cleaning furniture with water won’t hurt it — just be careful not to soak it. Use an old toothbrush for hard-to-get areas. Wipe the dirt off the surface with soft cloths or paper towels until they come up fairly clean. Then dry off any residual moisture with a soft cloth. 2. After a good cleaning, the best way to protect the finish is to use a good-quality soft paste wax. Apply a thin coat as directed on the label. Wait five minutes and buff lightly with a soft (shoe) brush or cloth. Wait another 30 to 60 minutes and buff/brush again with a bit more vigor. You’ll see a beautiful shine return to the finish that will last for many months. 3. Keep your furniture out of the sun. The temperature of the summer sun coming through a window can go above 140 degrees. It will cook fine finishes, fading and destroying them over time, and dry out and shrink the wood, which will cause cracks. 4. Don’t place wood furniture near heating units or vents. Dry heat will cause the wood to dry and shrink, leaving cracks. Use a humidifier in the drier months to bring the moisture up to the 40 to 45 percent level. 5. For a quick-fix touch up, use the appropriate color shoe polish on scratches and chips, especially to make them less visible on the feet of furniture. Carefully using a matching-color felt-tip marker first will hide it even better. 6. When polishing metal hardware, take it off the furniture first. Take your time and make a note to remember what piece goes back where. Use a quality metal polish to get it shining again. Once it’s buffed, put it back on, being careful not to scratch the wood surfaces. I recommend that you don’t try to do this all at one time. It can be a lot of work, so take a few days, doing a few pieces at a time, instead of getting tired and frustrated with trying to do too much. 7. Wood isn’t hungry! You cannot feed furniture. No matter what the advertising says, wood cannot be fed or nourished or enriched with polishes or oils. Once it has a protective finish over it for beauty and protection, the wood is sealed. Polishes and oils will not penetrate it. 8. There are several ways to remove the white hazy ring or spot that the hot coffee mug or hot pizza box made on your table. The least invasive way is to rub it with a mild abrasive, such as non-gel toothpaste mixed with baking soda or cooking oil mixed with ashes. You can rub it in a small spot with your finger or use a soft cloth on larger areas. Another method that has excellent results is to place a soft cloth or towel over the spot and iron it carefully for 10 to 20 seconds at a time with the iron at a medium setting. You can turn the iron up a bit if needed. Always keep the iron moving and check your progress frequently. 9. When shopping for new or antique furniture, look at the back, inside and undersides of furniture and drawers. Many times it tells you more about quality than looking at the “show” side. The so-called “secondary” woods can speak volumes about the age of the item and the quality of construction. 10. Restoring or refinishing an older or antique piece of furniture to its original glory might seem like a good idea, and many times it is. But it’s important to get advice from someone who is knowledgeable about the item you are considering. You may find that your piece is valuable and just needs a proper cleaning. Any more extensive work should be left to a professional. [:es] 1. Para limpiar el acabado de sus muebles de madera sólo tiene que utilizar agua tibia y jabón suave. Limpieza de muebles con agua no le hará daño, sólo tenga cuidado de no empaparlo. Utilice un cepillo de dientes para las áreas difíciles de conseguir. Quitar la suciedad de la superficie con paños suaves o toallas de papel hasta que llegan hasta bastante limpio. A continuación se seque la humedad residual con un paño suave. 2. Después de una buena limpieza, la mejor manera de proteger el acabado es utilizar una buena calidad cera en pasta suave. Aplicar una capa fina como se indica en la etiqueta. Espere cinco minutos y pulir ligeramente con un cepillo suave (de zapato) o un paño. Esperar otros 30 a 60 minutos y buff / cepillo de nuevo con un vigor poco más. Usted verá un hermoso brillo de retorno a la meta que va a durar muchos meses. 3. Mantenga sus muebles fuera del sol. La temperatura del sol de verano que viene a través de una ventana puede ir por encima de 140 grados. Se cocinará finos acabados, la decoloración y destruirlos con el tiempo, y secar y reducir la madera, lo que provocará grietas. 4. No coloque muebles de madera cerca de las unidades de calefacción o ventilación. El calor seco hará que la madera para secar y reducir el tamaño, dejando grietas. Use un humidificador en los meses más secos para llevar la humedad hasta el nivel de 40 a 45 por ciento. 5. Para un toque de solución rápida, utilice el betún de zapatos de color apropiado en arañazos y chips, especialmente para hacerlos menos visibles en los pies de los muebles. coincidente con cuidado utilizando un color rotulador primera ocultará que sea aún mejor. 6. Cuando el pulido de metal hardware, llevarlo lejos de los muebles en primer lugar. Tómese su tiempo y hacer una nota para recordar qué pieza se remonta dónde. Use un pulidor de metales de calidad para conseguir que brilla de nuevo. Una vez que se pule, lo puso de
