Why is that flooring my favorite?
"I consider myself an Environmentalist, and am very conscious of what I put both in my home and in my body. Caring about myself includes having products that showcase my lifestyle. Cork flooring does this because it is a renewable resource, better for your body to stand on, and anti-microbial. My friends say I am 'too hippy-dippy' but when they see the Harmony cork flooring in my house they just think it is straight-out hip!"

"I have always loved Natural African Walnut ever since I started working for simpleFLOORS. Natural African Walnut has a gorgeous dark vertical wood grains throughout. If you look at it closer, you will see some beautiful pink tone, as well as very light spring orange shade. Armed with a 2400 hardness rating, this floor speaks for its form and function. It will work in a contemporary loft, as well as a transitional interior."

Februarys Winner of the "Win A Hardwood Floor" Contest


"My wife and I really appreciate the floors you sent us. When we won the contest we expected to received a mid grade floor that would be serviceable but not top notch. What we got, was an absolutely beautiful set of engineered maple flooring that looks fantastic in our home. The floors arrived only two weeks after we were informed that we we were the winners. We installed it a week a later and had no problems at all. The floors layed down perfectly and makes our house look like a brand new.

Its statement can say traditional, transitional, or make a contemporary juxtaposition. It has the richest depth of warm neutral colors with a unique character and true vintage artistic design. More importantly, its look can stand up to even the most active lifestyles, and to top it off, it’s green! What else could you want?"
