Carpeting in 2017
If you're under the impression that all carpeting is basically the
same, think again. There are many types to choose from, and, while
many consumers have gravitated to hard floor coverings, the carpet
market is alive and well. Here are a few styles and trends to look for:
*

Carpet Tile Rugs. You can create a personalized rug by choosing
carpet tiles and linking them together. If a tile gets damaged,
it's easy to replace.

Frieze Carpet. Also known as "twist carpet," each strand of
frieze is twisted many times, making it appear almost curly.

Bold Colors. Multi-color carpets in bright colors, or solids in
colors like purple and orange are making a statement. How
long this trend will last, however, is anyone's guess.

Multi-colored and patterned. Circles, squares and hexagons
adorn some trendy carpets that have come onto the market.
They're fun and eye-catching when used in the right places.

Recycled carpet. Most of today's carpets are made at least
partially from recycled materials, and it appears that the trend
will only continue to get stronger.

Regardless of what type of floor covering you choose, be sure
that you are attentive to its quality and durability, as well as its eye
appeal. Flooring is an essential element in your home or business,
and choosing well will assure satisfaction for years to come.

Choosing Roofing for Your Home or Business

Some of the most popular outdoor roofing options are outlined
below.

Choosing new roofing for your home is an investment, so it's important to take some time to consider your options before you get
started. Choosing the right roofing material can add value to your
home while updating the feel and style of the dwelling.

Roofing materials vary in weight, color and style. You'll need to make
sure you choose a material that meets your area's fire codes and will
hold up in the event that your area is prone to extreme weather.

Asphalt Shingles. Economical and easy to install, asphalt
shingles are the most popular roofing material in the
United States. They come in many different colors and can
complement a range of architectural styles. At about 20
years, asphalt shingles have a shorter life span than some
other roofing materials, however, and they don't always
provide the insulating qualities of other roofing options..
