Konecto Vinyl Plank Flooring - Wood Look with Performance

Konecto vinyl floors are high quality resilient flooring crafted to mimic hardwood planks. Konecto both looks and feels similar to wood because of the embossing that takes place in the manufacturing process. There are a ton of features that come with Konecto Vinyl "Wood" plank flooring.




  • In some cases in can be installed over existing hard surface floors

  • Super easy to clean

  • Waterproof and extremely stain resistant

  • Will not chip or crack (unlike real wood and ceramic tile)

  • Much warmer underfoot than other hard surface flooring

  • You can replace planks later if needed.

There are several primary series of Konecto (MetroFloor) products. These are the Country, Prestige (Sunrise), Sierra, Bellagio, and Sorento. Warranties vary from 7 years all the way up to 30 years depending on the product you pick.


Konecto also offers planks and tiles that simulate other natural surfaces such as Slate, Stone, marble and Tile.


Konecto can also be affordable when compared to other high end vinyl plank products.

Lyptus Wood Flooring - A New Eco Friendly Hardwood


Lyptus wood flooring, made from Eucalyptus trees is poised to be a big trend in hardwood floors. Recently introduced, it solves the dilemma of wanting an exotic hardwood floor but without the worries of harming the environment.


Why is Lytpus hardwood considered an Eco product? First of all, Lyptus flooring comes from trees in Brazil that are grown and harvested on FSC (Forresty Stewardship Council) managed farms. With that certification, you can rest assured that responsible harvesting and replanting are taking place. However, the biggest advantage is Eucalyptus trees reach maturity for harvest around 14- 16 years, as compared to Oak around 100 years. You might be thinking that this is still longer than Bamboo harvesting which is around 5 years. You're right, however this is real hardwood, not grass that has been glued together to simulate a hard surface!


If you are interested, what are the options? It is pretty limitless! You can get Lyptus in both solid and engineered (both can be refinished), factory - prefinished or unfinished, stained or natural, and in widths ranging from 2 inches to 4 inches.


The look of Lyptus has been compared to Mahogany. I also personally think it is a dead ringer for unstained Brazilian Cherry or Kempas. We just featured the Lyptus wood this weekend at the Chattanooga Home Show and the look received BIG reviews from flooring shoppers.


Pricing ranges from the high $2 to $6 per foot window depending on the option you choose.


For more factory information on Lyptus wood you can visit http://www.lyptus.com/. You can see the various colors and stains available as well as learn more about Lyptus.
