Flooring 101

School’s in session. Today’s class: Flooring 101. We’re going to be breaking down two common styles of floor.
 

WOOD FLOORING

It’s always a good idea to start with the classics. Wood flooring has been around forever, and for good reason. It’s versatile and looks amazing.
 
It’s available at different price points depending on the size of the planks you’ll be using, and the type of wood, with more exotic woods being more expensive.
 
Aesthetically, wood flooring comes in a variety of styles and colors depending on the type of wood, the installation pattern, and the stain.
 
Unfortunately, natural wood flooring can be scratched and dented. So if you’ve got young children or big pets, beware. Refinishing your wood floors years down the line is always an option, though it’s easier to be cautious and take good care of them now than refinish them later. But sometimes a little extra caution is worth it to come home to beautiful hardwood floors.

 
LAMINATE FLOORING

Laminate flooring is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process. It mimics wood patterns with an appliqué layer underneath a clear protective layer.
 
This appliqué process allows laminate flooring to look just as great as natural hardwood, and the manufactured nature of laminate flooring means it will be far more durable.
 
Laminate flooring is usually less expensive than natural wood, too. Which makes it perfect for first-time home-buyers and young families.

  • When we rightsized from our home of 43 years to a Bielinski Condo in Bay Pointe, our New Home Consultant answered all of our questions and communicated with us the entire way. We’re fully enjoying our beautiful new home and the condo community.
    John and Jean Jones
  • I’ve been so impressed and completely satisfied with the entire Bielinski building experience. From the initial sale and throughout the construction process I have appreciated Bielinski’s professionalism, craftsmanship, and follow-through.
    Heidi Hamilton
  • We are extremely happy with our new Bielinski Condo. It’s well-built and full of all the features we wanted in our home.
    Deborah and Brian Blackney
  • We chose Bielinski because they are a family-owned business and have been building in the Pewaukee area for a long time. The Clemont floor plan is just perfect for all of our family events and Packer parties.
    Bob and Darla Landgren
  • We couldn’t be happier with our new home! The entire process was fantastic. Everyone was so responsive and quick to help. Bielinski’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable. We recommend Bielinski to anyone looking for their next home.
    Mike and Kristin Smith
  • We had a really good experience with Bielinski from start to finish. Everyone was responsive and reliable. Now we are enjoying life in our new home.
    Peter Holzwart and Therese Gaynor-Holzwart
  • Once I got settled in, I knew I was exactly where I belong. Without Bielinski’s knowledge and communication, I would still be questioning whether I should build at all. Thanks to the entire team that made this all possible.
