Spooktacular Halloween Décor

We are days away from one of the most beloved holidays of the year. It’s a day when children can dress up as their favorite cartoon character, action hero, or sports athlete, and let the joys of childhood take over. Adults can dress the part too, in hopes of giving a little scare to the trick-or-treaters or at their own adult Halloween party.

Halloween is the time of year to let your inner child out, no matter your age. You can decorate your home both inside and out to evoke the spirit of Halloween. Pumpkins can be carved and lit up on your front steps, or painted and decorated with glitter for your side table. Bottles can be painted in black or army green, and decorated with silver or black glitter to depict bottles of potion or poison, depending on your desired level of scare.

A friendly front entrance to your home can be created with simple pumpkins, corn stalk, and hay, while you can up the scare for a terrifying entrance by draping cobwebs on your front porch, railings, windows and door. Ravens can be placed in the cobwebs, on the corn stalk, and around the porch for an added fright.

With terrifying entrances, scary costumes, and endless amounts of candy, kids and adults are bound to drop a piece of candy on the carpet, step on candy that’s been sprawled out on the floor to take inventory of their night’s haul, or a glass of wine might be spilled at a party. Whatever the reason for Halloween spills, we have you covered with our Resista cleaning products. Ranging from cleaning pads and cleaning powder, to carpet cleaner and pet cleaner, we have various tools and cleaners to assist with your cleaning.

Discover the Benefits of Laminate

Laminate's smartly balanced durability, good looks and value pricing means you can expand

your decorating ideas without increasing your budget or sacrificing quality.

Choose Laminates to Achieve Your Decorating Goals

Today's laminates are available in a broad variety of handsomely crafted designs. You'll find

laminates in vivid, swirling wood grains so natural looking you'd swear they were solid hardwood.

Others re-create the ornate appeal of tile or stone, while still providing the rugged durability at a

value price that makes laminate flooring so practical for any room in your home.

Whether you prefer the natural look of wood or stone, or the effect of colors and geometric patterns

produced by artisans, you'll find a long-wearing laminate to accomplish your decorating ideas within

the budget you've set.

Select Lasting Durability

Rest assured the beautiful design you love today will remain beautiful in the years to come.

All laminates are constructed of four layers: wear, design, core and back.

• The wear layer is a clear layer of aluminum oxide that protects against fading, stains and surface

burns.

• The design layer contains a high resolution photograph of the floor's surface appearance and

provides you with a variety of looks from the burnished swirls of natural hardwood to the earthen

textures of ceramic or stone tiles.

• The core layer is a construction durable high-density board which protects against indentations

and moisture.

• The back layer is a stability layer, which protects the planks against moisture and helps balance

the floor.

Thanks to layered construction, laminate flooring absorbs the heavy traffic and day-to-day use of

an active family, while it continues to look as good as the day it was installed.

All these elements make a difference in how your laminate floor will look. Don't forget to check

out Installation to learn all about the little details that make a big difference when transitioning from

old floors to new.

Laminate Flooring vs. Hardwood Flooring: The Great Debate

Laminate Flooring vs. Hardwood Flooring: The Great Debate

Warmth, natural beauty and timeless appeal have made hardwood flooring one of the most sought-after amenities for homes across the country. Laminate flooring, which is crafted using a High Density Fiber (HDF) with a top layer that offers a similar look, gives consumers an alternative to solid wood. If you’re trying to figure out whether hardwood or laminate is right for your home, consider the pros and cons of each and how they relate to your lifestyle and your budget.

Price

When choosing between hardwood and laminate flooring, consider both the price and the quality of the investment. Laminate is popular for its affordability, and it can cost a few dollars per square foot all the way up to 50% less than hardwood when you include installation. Premium laminate products can have moderate resale value, while well-maintained hardwood floors can increase the resale value of your home exponentially.

Installation

With locking, glue-down or floating installation options, laminate floors are usually easy to install (or uninstall if you’re replacing your floor). Some solid hardwood floors require nail-down installation, which can be time-consuming and make future removal more difficult. However, with current technology, many popular hardwood options are now available in engineered forms that require installation similar to that of laminate.

Maintenance

Laminate and hardwood floors are both relatively easy to clean, but they differ in maintenance requirements. Most laminates are more resistant to moisture, fading and scratches, so they can be a better choice for kitchens or bathrooms where a lot of water is used, spaces that receive a lot of sunlight, or areas that face high levels of foot traffic. Then again, if damaged, laminate floors might not be easy to repair, while you can fix imperfections in hardwood floors by sanding or refinishing.

Durability

You can keep hardwood and laminate floors looking beautiful for years, but the difference between them becomes more pronounced as time goes on. With proper care, the life expectancy for most laminate flooring is about 20 years. Well-kept hardwood flooring can last a lifetime and add classic appeal to any home for generations.
