Flash mob stunt to promote stain resistant carpet
Visitors to Surfaces 2012 had an unexpected surprise when a large group of dancers started dancing to MC Hammer in a flash mob.
Almost one hundred dancers dressed in MC Hammer style trousers and t-shirts with the title of the hit Can’t Touch This broke in to a routine in the middle of the well-known flooring exhibition.
The stunt certainly succeeded in promoting the flooring as several video clips and photographs were quickly uploaded to several websites.
Each of the dancers started out in a red pair of the infamous trousers teamed with a casual top and during the routine the tops were removed to reveal the slogan t-shirts and underneath the trousers were a second pair in purple.
It was revealed that the dancers were taking part in a promotion for one of the Mohawk products which was being exhibited at the flooring event.
The Mohawk SmartStrand carpet is known for stain resistance qualities which are said to last for the lifetime of the carpet.
The Can’t Touch This song was thought to be a comment on the high level of stain protection, as well as the top customer satisfaction rating that the carpet has been awarded.
Wide plank hardwood trend takes over
A new American flooring trend could become an international style favourite, judging by the positive reaction in the U.S.
The big trends for 2012 are likely to involve colour and more sustainable flooring choices, but there is a new fashion for the particular style of floor.
Although parquet floors were big for a few years the new trend is for wide plank hardwood floors, which creates a totally different look to slimmer planks.
The wider floorboards offer a more natural appearance and have a much clearer style across the floor, which also makes rooms look bigger.
The natural look is complimented by a brushed finish, which removes the newest growth marks and leaves the natural beauty of the timber.
This results in a truly authentic looking wooden floor which will be an investment for the home for many years to come.

What’s The Best Basement Flooring?
If shopping for a basement floor, you now have a lot of options that weren’t always available to you. Choosing the right floor for a basement is almost harder than it was, because now there’s so much more from which to choose. Many assume that laminate flooring is the best way to go for a basement. And laminate floors are great for basements, but they’re certainly not the only way to go. If budget is a concern and you’re installing a basement floor yourself, you might think it’s the least expensive option. However, you’d be amazed at the online flooring deals you can find on hardwood flooring, bamboo flooring and even vinyl planks. If you want hardwood in the basement, look around. You can find engineered hardwood fl;oors, even click hardwood floors for considerably lower than you might expect. Solid hardwood floors aren’t recommended for basements, and though there are solid wood floors you can install in basements, today’s engineered wood floors are durable, beautiful and just plain better for hardwood installations on concrete slabs. Another option is a new type of flooring that has a recycled HDF core and a veneer of real wood or bamboo. This click engineered HDF core flooring [...]The Best DIY Bathroom Floor
When shopping for a bathroom floor, you have more options today then you’ve had in the past. The old standbys are still available, but now you have something even better. Long has ceramic tile or sheet vinyl been the choice for bathrooms and many even install laminate floors in the bath. However, laminate floors aren’t the best choice, especially in bathrooms with showers or bathtubs. It’s not just the moisture that can spill out of the tub, but the moisture that permeates the air when you take a hot shower or bath. That’s why many choose ceramic tile for the bathroom, but these floors also leave a lot to be desired. They are cold, hard, not the easiest to clean and the grout can become discolored over time. While the coldness issue can be addressed with radiant heating, it significantly increases the cost and if you ever have a problem with the heating underneath the floor, it’s not an easy fix and usually you can tell when a tile has been replaced. And replacing the tile is exactly what will have to be done. Many choose sheet vinyl flooring because it’s not as cold as tile, easier to clean and [...]Strand Woven Bamboo: The Best Floor For An Office
If you’re shopping for new flooring for the office there are more things to consider than the floor’s durability. The type of floor you choose says a lot about your company and the right one can make a lasting impression on the people you want to impress. You might just be looking for a durable, yet fashionable floor that you don’t have to replace, is easy to maintain and provides as much function as it does decorator appeal. Or, you could be looking for all of the above, but you also want a conversation piece and something that will make a statement about your company. If this sounds like you, then strand woven bamboo flooring is the optimal choice. First, bamboo is one of the greenest floors out there, and that can be important to prospective customers. In fact, no one will condemn your choice for choosing a green floor like stranded bamboo, regardless of whether or not they take active steps to promote environmental friendliness. A strand woven bamboo floor gives you a story to tell and not just something on which you walk. Strand woven bamboo is made when the natural bamboo is shredded into strips and then [...]Exotic Engineered Hardwood Floors: The Best Of Both Worlds
Exotic hardwood flooring stirs the soul and inspires all sorts of possibilities. There is just something about exotic wood floors that we love to have in our homes, and if we could, we’d install it throughout our homes. Most would never dream of that possibility, but exotic engineered flooring can make that dream come true. Whether it’s Brazilian Cherry flooring, Tigerwood flooring or any of the various types of exotic wood flooring, the wood is rarer, harder to come by and comes at an additional cost than more common, domestic hardwoods. The very word “exotic” tells us that it’s a luxury and that we will likely have to pay more. And while it does come at a premium, you can use less of it, keeping the cost lower. Exotic engineered hardwood floors use a veneer of exotic wood over a multi-ply construction of wood. Think of plywood, but the top layer being stained and finished. There are many advantages to this, from having to use less of the premium, more expensive wood to it allowing you to install it in more areas for your home. Because hardwood flooring is porous, it absorbs moisture from the air or the subfloor underneath. [...]
