Specialty flooring Has many uses

One of the more rare aspects of flooring is the specialty flooring category. You may find some that call floors such as cork, or bamboo floor for example a specialty flooring. here at The Flooring Professor we disagree! Those are mainstream products that have grown to deserve their own category specialty flooring to us are products that are made for special uses such as...

• Gymnasium flooring

• Aerobic flooring

• Basement flooring

• Garage flooring

• Basement wood flooring

• Bar/wet area flooring

• Computer flooring

• Any other unique specialty application...

Possibilities for gymnasium flooring include standard hardwood floors, special floating hard wood flooring (using a rubber support system.), VCT, rolled rubber products, modular rubber sports flooring, rolled sports flooring, sports floor tiles.....and more! Most of the above products either have kits or templates to also mark off things such as basketball courts, volleyball courts, and other sports games of all kinds!!

Aerobic flooring could include things such as rubber mat flooring, and now even cork for example. basically here we are concerned with impact resistance. our aerobic flooring section will give you more in depth suggestions.

Garage flooring is gaining popularity. WHAT? did we say garage flooring? yes you bet we did!! today more people are making their garage almost like living space and one way is to add flooring. There are special products made just for such applications.

Computer flooring to the residential market is a newer specialty and basically has been used for a while now commercially. What it focuses on in low static often through a technology that has small wires within the product that captures and dissipates the static

Bar or wet area flooring derived from the commercial kitchen market. There are a few products that claim to work for this application. We are familiar with one that specializes in ONLY such applications it is so waterproof you can hose it down!

Basement flooring is one of the most common inquiries we get and rightfully so. Many people today are finishing off lower level space in order to save building costs. IN our stores we have performed many basement flooring clinics with rave reviews from customers. Basement flooring is not as complicated as most people think. Most people do not realize that today in a reasonably dry basement you can put nearly any flooring product type.

Eco Friendly Flooring is being asked for more and more today. We include it here as a convenience, but most environmentally friendly flooring today are variations of traditional old favorites. Be sure to take a look and do your part in being responsible by understanding how you do not have to limit your options to get a green floor!

Frankly with our help you will see that if you can envision it, We can show you how your specialty flooring project can become reality. from the picking out and purchasing phase, to the installation, and of course the specialty flooring care and cleaning we will help you get the results you are looking for!
