Flooring

Types of flooring in Lake Forest, CA

There are many options when it comes to flooring.  Here we will provide some of the most common options:


Laminate Flooring - this is a great budget-friendly option that can provide the appearance of the premium wood flooring.  Laminate does have a thicker composition that has wood content, which helps soften the feel when compared to vinyl, tile or stone.  The drawback of laminate, however, is that it does not handle moisture well.  While there are water-resistant laminate flooring materials on the market, they generally do not provide the same level of protection as vinyl, tile, or stone.  Therefore, in order to preserve the lifespan of laminate flooring, avoid having water sitting on this type of flooring for extended periods of time. 

Vinyl Flooring - Like laminate flooring, vinyl is also an ideal economical choice, but can be more expensive than laminate flooring.  While it may not be clearly evident, vinyl is made of plastic, which is why it is highly water resistant, has strong durability and thus a long lifespan.  It's easy to maintain and care for, as it is able to withstand water for extended periods of time without damaging the surface.  Similar to laminate flooring, it can mimic the wood floor look, or even that of tile and stone.  It is a very popular choice today.  In fact, builders today are choosing vinyl flooring, as most new construction homes now are equipped with this type of material.   

Wood Flooring - Regardless of what type of flooring you select for your home, the wood look is great because it can match any design theme, whether it be traditional, transitional, modern, or even contemporary.  It's no wonder why laminate, vinyl, and even tile emulate the look of wood.  While wood has a great look, there are definitely some factors to consider.  Wood is not very friendly with moisture, so it is important to wipe off any spills immediately.  If you choose wood, there will be the option to have solid hardwood or engineered hardwood.  Solid wood is all wood and can be sanded and refinished multiple times, whereas engineered wood consists of a thin real wood layer glued to several layers of lower grade wood (ex. plywood) that can withstand sanding or refinishing once or twice.  Another consideration is that hardwood flooring is generally going to be more expensive than vinyl, laminate, and tile floors.

Cabinets

Bathroom and Kitchen Cabinets in Lake Forest, CA

Traditional Style Cabinets

Traditional design style cabinets often features framed cabinets, which are defined by frames around the front of the cabinet (also known as the face-frame).  There are three types of cabinets: partial overlay, full overlay, and inset. 


Partial overlay cabinetry was the industry standard for many years. In partial overlay, doors only partly cover cabinet face frames, exposing portions of the cabinet frame.  This style is usually seen in traditional-style kitchens and typically offer greater cost-saving opportunities by using less material than full overlay. 


Transitional Style Cabinets

Transitional style cabinets are a perfect mixture of traditional and modern styles. The clean lines with recessed door panels (prime example are the Shaker cabinets) blend the classic into contemporary design to make them popular choices today.



Contemporary and Modern Style Cabinets

Contemporary cabinets are generally more sleek and minimalistic with little detail in the designs.  While Shaker style cabinets could also fall into this category, many contemporary designs are flat-fronts.  Contemporary styling utilizes sharp and angular designs that give a very clean cut look. 


Full overlay cabinets are a popular choice for those looking to make their kitchen an integral part of the design. These full-length doors and drawer fronts almost completely cover up any cabinet face, which can enhance contemporary and modern styles in your home decorating project.

Quartzite Countertops

Quartzite is a natural and durable countertop material, and is a type of metamorphic rock that is made up of sandstone. It is usually mined in large quarries in its raw form, and then taken to a processing plant. The natural veining patterns and blotches of gray or white are what make quartzite such a heavily sought after material.  Not only is it great for countertops, it can also make for great backsplashes, floor tiling, and wall tiling.  Quartzite is considered a more high-end stone which often tags it at a higher cost than quartz and granite.  Because it is a natural rock, it has porous properties. 


Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops are one of the most popular choices for new kitchen and bathroom construction. They're low maintenance and easy to clean, with no sealing required! Quarts is composed of different synthetic materials like resins or glass, which result in amazing designs.  To many homeowners, they are an ideal material in  homes today.  Its durability gives maximum protection and prevents scratches from knives or stains left behind by spilled food (even oils). With so many design options, the possibilities are endless. 

Granite Countertops

Like quartz countertops, granite is also one of the most popular choices for homeowners today.  Granite is a natural rock material similar to quartzite, but there are some noticeable differences between the two.  Granite is typically darker in color, whereas quartzite is mostly gray and white variations.  While granite is not as hard as quartzite, it is still more than capable of handling everyday use in the kitchen.  One of the drawbacks to granite is that it is a porous rock that can stain, so a sealing treatment will be needed.
