Interior finishings are a significant part of giving a dramatic wow-factor feeling in any home area, whether it’s a new build or a renovation project. Here are some recent product developments.
Carbon-negative laminated wood floors
Mohawk offers wood flooring options designed to meet the needs of every lifestyle. Unique double staining and multiple textures provide beautiful contemporary looks ideal for today’s homes. Wider plank options add to ease of installation while creating elegant spaces.
Mohawk is an innovator in eco-friendly floors. From carbon-negative laminated wood floors to recycled PET carpet to PVC-free resilient flooring, product offerings include options made from recycled and renewable resources.
Pet-stain-tolerant carpet made with solution-dyed polyester
Beaulieu Canada’s Tryesse carpets feature extra softness, high durability and high stain resistance. The company claims the treatment will never wear off or wash off even after years of use.
Protected with Stain Control for resistance to the most stubborn stains, and treated with SoilScreen to keep soil on the surface making the carpet easier to clean. Made with solution-dyed polyester, a fibre inherently resistant to stains.
Crystalline silica-free fused stone product
Caesarstone has announced two new launches. This year marks the debut of Caesarstone ICON, a revolutionary fused stone product that is crystalline silica-free.
Additionally, Caesarstone expands its porcelain offerings with a new 6-mm collection of flooring and wall cladding surfaces, in addition to added colours to the brand’s existing 12-mm collection.
In addition to its formula containing less than one per cent crystalline silica,
Caesarstone’s ICON surfaces are made with up to 80 per cent recycled post-industrial glass, with certifications such GREENGUARD Gold. Caesarstone is committed to transforming its entire product portfolio to silica-free options by 2026 and has also achieved 99 per cent water recycling in its production process.
Tile in contemporary and classic designs, glazed and unglazed
Daltile ceramic tile is a favorite choice for the floor and wall. Available in both glazed and unglazed, the selection offers styles for everything from classic design to contemporary chic. Whatever the style, Daltile’s ceramic tile is durable and easy to maintain, is moisture- and stain-resistant, and easy to cut and install.
Hardwood flooring in the unlikeliest of rooms
Bruce Flooring says wood flooring is becoming a popular choice for kitchen design.
Few flooring types add wood’s charm, elegance and timeless appeal. Hardwood floors look incredible and add value to the home. Looks aside, wood floors just feel different. They’re warm and inviting, comfortable underfoot.
Why the kitchen? Wood doesn’t harbour as many allergens or allow bacteria to grow like some other flooring. Experts often recommend wood flooring for allergy sufferers, though one caveat is the cleaning required.
