SAN ANTONIO – Hardwood floors don’t have to come with a steep price tag.
Empire Today can get you that wood floor look at a variety of price points with their five different “wood looks.”
“At Empire, we get tons of calls every day from people who want the look of wood in their home but they’re A) unsure of what products are even out there and B) where it fits into the budget,” said Ryan Salzwedel, spokesman for Empire Today.
Aside from traditional and engineered hardwood, which looks the most authentic but comes at the highest price, there are great manufactured alternatives such as laminate, which is durable and cheap.
“This is not your grandma’s laminate. Thanks to printing technology, it comes in realistic wood grain color and texture,” Salzwedel said.
If you’re looking for floors that will withstand moisture, Salzwedel said luxury vinyl plank is your best opinion. This fast-growing “wood look” product comes with a cork backing that waterproofs your floors.
“It’s going to be easy on your feet and if you have neighbors, this is a good thing to put in because they’re not going to hear you walking around.”
Salzwedel said even tile can create the “wood look.” Although a little pricier, it’s durable and cool to the touch, which is perfect in the heat of the summer.
“If you take care of tile, it’s stain-resistant, moisture-resistant; it’s going to last you for decades,” Salzwedel said.
Empire makes the process easy by coming to your home and providing samples of the best “wood looks” to match your home and can even install the next day!
“You can see them in your light, in your environment, with your décor,” Salzwedel said.
