Breathe A Little Easier This Spring!

I recently made a move into a beautiful rental home in Sacramento, CA. The owner of this home was going to replace the old carpet with new carpet but with very little convincing - he allowed me to replace it with laminate flooring instead.

Flooring is one of the most important things in my life for two very different reasons. #1 I've always been in the flooring industry and love it. #2 I have respiratory issues; allergies, dust mites, pets... any of this sound familiar?

When I was a child with asthma the doctors told my parents, "take the carpet out of her room, she spends at least 8 hours breathing the dirt and particles that stay in her carpeted flooring". If you have ever removed a carpet and seen the dirt that is trapped underneath it, you know exactly what I am talking about.  After a while my parents had our entire house "de-carpeted" and we were living on beautiful solid surfaces. Durable and easy to clean hardwood and laminate floors. This is what drew me to SimpleFloors, our focus is only on beautiful hard surface flooring. SimpleFloors runs the gamut from eco-friendly bamboo and cork, responsible exotic wood, 3/4 solid wood, engineered hardwood, and laminated floors.

If you have allergies like me and are looking for a solution, try solid surface flooring. In addition to the flooring as long as your allergies are not mold related you might try these particular types of plants. Besides being beautiful these plants are known for their ability to clean the air from some chemicals that can trigger respiratory issues.

We chose the Masterpiece Cedar for our new flooring, its nearly 1/2 inch thick (12mm) and the boards are varied in length. With a good underlayment - it has the look, feel, and sound of a hardwood floor. I highly recommend!
