The word “Bona” translates “good” from its Latin/Italian/Swedish roots.  And since 1919 Bona has also been the word used for the brand name of a long-standing Swedish company who manufacturers cleaning products. Still today, Bona is a highly regarded residential & commercial brand sold in more than 70 countries all over the world. Their hardwood floor cleaner is especially renowned.

BONA ORIGINAL & BONA PROFESSIONAL

Bona manufactures multiple grades of cleaning products.  Their classic original formula can be found in white bottles at large box stores, amazon, and online.  Their professional formula found in silver bottles can only be found at select specialty flooring stores.  The white bottled original formula is good….but the silver bottled professional series is even better!  The professional series is a more concentrated formula that cuts through harder dirt & heavier grim while being gentle enough not to impact the finish of your beautiful floor!  For superior clean hard surface floors choose Bona Professional.  Mouery’s Flooring in Springfield, Missouri carries their entire line of hard surface cleaning products (including mops, concentrated refills, spray bottles, & pads).  This professional Bona series is good for hardwood, engineered hardwood, laminate, vinyl, & luxury vinyl floors.

Luxury Vinyl tile and plank is a very easy do-it-yourself home improvement. This is a great flooring option for basements, living rooms, bathrooms, and much more. We have put together very easy-to-read steps and a great video of a live installation presentation with questions and tips.

We all have watched a home improvement show on HGTV and had the thought that it must be easy to renovate; a young couple meet Chip and JoAnna Gaines and then they have a newly remodeled home worth more than the market value. Others watch shows about flipping homes and making money like Flip or Flop. With shows like these, we all have thoughts of grandeur and want to try our hand at making our own renovations. However, the shows make this look much easier than it tends to be in real life.

You can read hundreds of blogs, newspaper articles, and other sites and they will also talk about flipping homes or renovations. Each one can list many items that can add value to any home. The only real similarity between them: flooring. Redoing the flooring throughout the house is always on the list no matter who you get the information from. Flooring is a great way to add value to any home. However, choosing the flooring for that house can be a tough thing to do. Most of the online sources will tell you that hardwood flooring is the option for you. But sometimes the budget or subfloor cannot handle that kind of purchase.

So, if your budget or subfloor doesn’t allow for the dream hardwood flooring, what are you to do? You can always go with carpet, but some families want a hard surface flooring. You have quite a few options that could fit into your initial budget: sheet vinyl, vinyl plank, luxury vinyl plank, and laminate. Each of these options offer advantages for you and the home you are remodeling.

We know that shopping for flooring can be overwhelming with a sea of brands and manufacturers to choose from. However, we try to make this process as simple as possible from the moment you step through our doors until the moment your flooring is installed. That is why we have our motto: simplicity, style, and expertise.

Each of the hardwood flooring types comes with different advantages and disadvantages. Today, we are going to talk about Armstrong Flooring.

Regal Hardwoods strive for superior floors while also offering competitive pricing. Regal strives to offer a unique look to each of their hardwood flooring lines and styles. Regal Hardwoods create some of their unique looks by authentically hand-scraping or wire brushing each plank. The length of the boards are random up to 7' long.

Regal makes all parts of their flooring from the veneer to the core and eventually the finish.

The core is made of a slow growing Baltic Birch with no fillers. Each of the hardwood flooring cores are able to promote a denser core that prevents less denting and offers more control over expansion and contraction. This also creates a unique product that can be glued, stapled, or floated and installed on any grade level above, on, or below.
