Fabulous Floors Q1 2017 Winter | Page 20

always resilient | Today’s designers have embraced the resilient innovative floor- ing options that feature a wide and enticing array of colors and textures, as well as designs and formats. Modern resilient comes in sheets (6 and 12 feet wide), planks and tiles, and pro- vides endless custom design possibilities. Luxury Vinyl Flooring, called LVT and LVP, available in tiles and plank formats, can allow you to blend the look of stone, wood and metal along borders or as inlays. Imagine resilient sheets and tiles that offer the high-end looks (textures, colors, and patterns) of glass, marble, slate, leather and wood, all at more affordable prices. Blending the contemporary movement toward opalescence and gloss with old world looks, for exam- ple, is easy to do with resilient. Remember, however, that instal- lation of borders, medallions, or other custom inlay work not only finish your design, they also add market resale value to your home. Tough and tasteful. Practical and elegant. Resilient is ready, willing and able to play a supporting role, or to take the lead in any floor design you can envision.
