The Future of Hardwood Flooring It’s no secret that hardwood floors add value to your home. They’re beautiful, long-lasting and they work for virtually any room type. The one downside? Hardwoods often get a bad rep for not doing so well under (water) pressure. Fortunately, this particular shortcoming is a thing of the past thanks to the development of waterproof hardwoods, and no one knows this better than Valley Floor Covering in Cumberland. The time-honored, family-owned-and-operated company carries a great selection of new, dependable waterproof flooring brands, including Ship Shape, Floorte Exquisite and Imperma Wood, to name a few. “Waterproof hardwoods have the benefits of vinyl — being resistant to water and scratching,” Marco Almeida, owner of Valley Floor Covering, points out. “However, because of its unique construction, the visuals and even the feel of the product, it is still what you’d come to expect with hardwood flooring. These products have a real hardwood veneer with a solid vinyl core and pad attached for added warmth and comfort.” Additionally, waterproof hardwoods boast a unique layered structure that resists mold and mildew. It will not stain from splashes and spills, and it won’t expand or contract with moisture like solid hardwoods. Even better, the engineering behind waterproof hardwoods also allow the floors to remain pet-proof, high-traffic-ready and basement-friendly. So, if you’re a homeowner looking for that rich hardwood look and texture without the burden of crying over every single glass of spilled milk, call Valley Floor Covering today to schedule your appointment (and get a free estimate!). Isn’t it about time you had your dream floors underfoot? ◆ VALLEY FLOOR COVERING, 144 Broad St., Cumberland, 401-724-8650, vfcri.com WAT E R P R OOF HARDWOOD WAT E R P R OOF HARDWOOD FINANCING AVAILABLE SEE STORE FOR DETAILS RI Reg. # 12291 Trends come and go, Trends come character and go, but the unique but the unique of hardwood is character timeless. of hardwood is timeless. “Floors you Love, Service you Expect” Family owned and operated since 1986 Exquisite | 1058 Champagne Oak Exquisite | 1058 an Champagne Oak Call today to schedule Estimate.
