23 Oct Flooring Solutions
Flooring solutions made of real hardwood are popular in both residential and commercial interiors. If you are new to the world of wood flooring and you are unaware of your various options, this guide aims to bring you up to speed. Floorboard Options – Solid and Engineered There are two types of real wood flooring. One which most individuals are aware of (complete whole wood) and an alternative which was only introduced to the market around 10 years ago. Solid Wood Flooring – In this case each floorboard is made from 100% whole wood. It means that the floor is extremely strong and you can sand and refinish it later in its service life. This makes solid wood flooring popular in residential settings and especially in commercial interiors where generally speaking floors are subject to greater wear and tear so it makes sense to fit the stronger more hardwearing solid wood flooring.

This recipe for apple crumb is simple, absolutely delicious and literally takes ten minutes to prepare with 30 minutes to bake. On this crisp, fall morning, my son is home from college for the first time and he will wake to the smell of fresh apple crumb hot from the oven.
