So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Benefits Of Installing Wood Flooring Naples FL

By Eugenia Dickerson


Wood floors are appealing because they are environmentally friendly, soft, hypoallergenic, durable and easy to clean. There are many varieties to choose from including solid, engineered, acrylic impregnated bamboo and laminates. When choosing wood flooring Naples FL residents should consider their personal preferences, budget, the ease of installation and the appearance of the floor.

Hardwood floors are more expensive than other kinds of wooden floors but they are of very high quality. Some of the popular choices of this type of floors include red and white oak, Brazilian cherry, hard maple and American cherry. White and red oaks are both pale colored and they are popular because of their easy installation. American cherry is also easy to install and it darkens over time since it is photosensitive.

Hard maple is an excellent flooring material because of its abrasion resistant and hard surface. Brazilian cherry on the other hand has a deep reddish brown color that changes into an attractive burgundy color over time. Homeowners who prefer to install less costly types of floors can choose laminate and bamboo floors. Even though laminate has the appearance of genuine woods, it is not real. It is a made with photos of wood that are laminated or coated in a thick man made material.

Laminate floors are cost effective to install but they do not make a property more valuable when compared to real wooden floors. However, they resist scratches better than real wooden floors. Bamboo floors are a good flooring option even if the bamboo plant belongs to the grass family. Bamboo floors offer durability, warmth, ease of installation and beauty. They are installed in the same way as hardwood floors.

A wooden floor resists wear and tear better than other flooring materials. Since it does not encourage the growth of mold, mildew and dust mites it is a great option for homeowners who are prone to suffer from allergies. Wood also comes in numerous colors to suit the decor of any home. Cherry colored woods are attractive when installed in kitchens.

Another benefit of wooden floors is that they improve indoor air quality by storing carbon during their service life. Their attractiveness and lifespan can also be increased by refinishing or polishing them regularly. Many types of surfaces and stains can be used to refinish a floor. Some stains are meant to uncover the natural beauty of wooden floors while others are meant to completely change the color and caste of a floor.

Wooden floors can also be easily integrated into many design schemes in office or home decor. They add a natural strength that other types of floors fail to offer. Wooden floors are also more durable and elegant than synthetic floors such as those made from vinyl. When choosing a floor material, make sure that you choose one that can stand up to daily traffic in your home. Read the warranty that the seller offers about maintenance and care carefully.

To ensure proper installation of wood flooring Naples FL homeowners should hire the services of a professional installer. This specialist will use products such as hard wax oil, wood floor finish and sanding equipment to efficiently install the floor. For added protection, homeowners should ask the professional to install a moisture barrier between the subfloor and the actual floor.
