Mohawk Wood Floors

Mohawk Zanzibar

Mohawk Santa Barbara

This 125-year old company based out of Calhoun, Georgia, has modeled its engineered hardwood floors using woods from dismantled buildings and home architecture, some even 600 years old. In some of the collections, even the old wood's natural antiquing and distressing can be seen, which adds to the wood's charm and appeal. Such distressing and antiquing methods can be seen in Antiquity, a line of hand scraped hardwoods featuring domestics like maple, oak, hickory, eucalyptus, pine, elm, and walnut. Antiquity offers a stunning array of exotic hand scraped hardwood floors featuring tigerwood, santos mahogany, gorgeous African padauk, elm, teak, heart pine, and cypress.

If you’re looking for domestic woods Mohawk Harwood floors offers the Santa Barbara collection. It is hand scraped and hand beveled, creating the most exquisite, textured hardwoods you've ever seen. It's as if the oak has been brought back to life, with the hand-scraping techniques bringing the wood's veins to the surface. Oak Harvest and Maple Light Amber are real crowd pleasers. This collection is super affordable with woods ranging from $3.99 to $4.09 per square foot.

Why Somerset Oak Flooring is Top Notch  

Making the Finest Flooring Available 

One of America’s best resources is the fine hardwood of the Appalachian Mountains and that is exactly where Somerset begins its quest to make the finest flooring products in the world.  Starting with the best wood is the first step in making the best hardwood flooring available on the market today.  Starting with inferior wood would result in an inferior product which Somerset would never be able to put its name on.

From Start to Finish 

One way that Somerset Oak Flooring maintains the highest quality standard is that they have control over every step of the process from the time the trees are harvested until the finished product is shipped to stores or the end customer.  Since none of the work is subcontracted out, Somerset can be sure its high standards are met at each and every step of the process from the manufacturing, to the drying, milling, and finishing of the hardwood flooring.  That is the reason that this company assures that they consistently produce the highest quality flooring.

The Best Facilities and the Best People 

Making the best flooring starts with the best wood, of course, but beyond that Somerset processes that wood in the best state-of-the-art facilities in the world.  They are also committed to hiring the best people in the industry.  The skilled employees at Somerset share the company’s commitment to making the best product possible and that is what they do.

An Environmentally Safe Choice 

Somerset flooring is an environmentally conscious choice since trees are a renewable and sustainable resource.  You can trust that maintaining healthy and productive forests are our priority—not only are they essential to the world where our children are growing up, but our jobs, and the livelihood of hundreds of Somerset employees and their families depends on our forests.  The company supports the Sustainable Forestry Initiative which requires them to use environmentally sound procedures to ensure that more trees are planted then are harvested.  Somerset is one of only a few companies in the world to be so devoted to this that they hire their own forestry staff.

Need a Guide for Colorado Hunting Trips?

I shot a big horn sheep in Colorado with the help of some colorado hunting guides.  We decided to cook the sheep and make a stew as a full dinner course.  The meal turned out perfectly and with the help of our guide everything on the hunt went smooth as well.  Our eatery was glad that we contacted a guide instead of trying to plan the hunting trip ourselves.  We found our guide through a company that was advertising for hunting guides and hunting cooking.  Please visit our reference on colorado hunting trips for more information.

On the trip to Colorado, we decided to enlisted the help of a Colorado Outfitter.  He was very knowledgable and helped us with equiping ourselves for the hunting expedition.  On the expedition while deer hunting in Colorado we came across several big horn sheep.  We also thought while in Colorado elk hunting that we could take in some scenery.  WOW we're we glad we did that, the mountains where absolutely beautiful.  All in all we had a great time in Colorado and we expect to go back soon.

Our next expedition is going to be a hunting trips to Alaska.  We are unsure what to hunt for though.  Our friends said Dall sheep hunting is very exciting and we have thought about that.  Alaska bear hunting is the ultimate hunting trip, and I think my husband would find that to be some what of a challenge.  Bear hunting can also be dangerous, so we may re-think that as an option for our Alaskan hunt.  Also bear meat can be a bit gamey and not fit into our cuisine.  So the next two big game animals are Alaska caribou hunting and Alaskan moose.  The moose is a really big and territorial animal so hunting can be dangerous as well, so moose hunting in Alaska is probably out of the picture.  We will probably to to caribou hunting, that way we both can enjoy the hunt.  Until next time....happy hunting.

Why Choose Carpet over Hardwood Flooring?

Carpet has been the most sought after flooring for the last decades because it has proven to have high quality, feels soft, and help insulate rooms to keep the noise to a minimum. There are many reasons to choose carpet.  In a market that is rapidly moving into hardwood there is still a huge advantage to purchasing carpet.  Besides being a softer material, a new study shows carpet may actually help people suffering from allergies.  Carpet can also be used to accent any area with new designs and colors. New practices in recycling also make carpet more eco-friendly.

                Another reason to choose carpet is the wide variety of colors and designs carpet now offers.  If you’ve ever had the feeling that carpet is boring and out of style, you should try again.  New carpets designs comes in array of colors from zebra, chocolate, shaggy, hot pink, and various other colors. There is always many different designs from cut pile (plush), loop cut, and many different kinds of patterns.  Some consumers put carpet in just one room to tie all the colors together in a certain area.  As well as using carpet for decorative reasons it is also very gentle on children wanting to play on their hands and knees.

                Finally, new advances in carpet have made it possible to keep carpet out of landfills and in living rooms.  Nylon carpet can now be recycled and made into a new innovative carpet.  If you are interested in becoming eco-friendly or just want to make a small impact on the environment check out the new recycled carpet.

                Although hardwood has become the new favorite floor covering in recent years, carpet definitely shouldn’t be forgotten.  Carpet is softer, and can brighten up any room with its many unique designs and colors.  New advances have kept carpet at the top of eco-conscious consumers list.  So, if you are in the market for new floor covering you should give carpet a chance and feel the difference.
