Bay Area LIFE: Add value and style to your home with new flooring

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- There are several options to help transform any room in your house, and to stay on budget.

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood floors provide style and an elegance that is timeless. Whether you choose engineered wood, solid oak hardwood or one of the many other contemporary options, wood flooring can enhance your home's value. Empire Today can bring samples of domestic hardwood, exotic woods, bamboo and cork flooring, and engineered wood to you for an at-home preview of flooring choices in your interior lighting settings. With Empire Today, you can select the perfect flooring and arrange for the installation during one visit. There is no need for several trips to a showroom when it can come to you.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring replicates the look and feel of natural stone, tile and hardwood flooring. Advantages of modern luxury vinyl floors include ease of cleaning and maintenance, moisture-resistance construction and the ability to resist stains and minor abrasions. Additionally, luxury vinyl tiles are durable and wear-resistant, which makes them great for areas with high foot traffic. Colors, styles and pattern options make luxury vinyl ideal for kitchen floors, bathroom, laundry room flooring or any room exposed to wear. Empire Today's flooring specialist can assist you with selection and installation options during your personalized in-home visit.

Tile Floors

Porcelain and Ceramic tile floors are an excellent alternative to hardwood and carpet flooring. Tiles have the cool beauty and surface feel of natural stone, and they're durable, easily maintained and less costly than stone. Tile flooring has a polished, smooth-finished grandeur that resonates color depth and captures the intricate design details of veins and pores seen in natural stones. Tile ideas are endless for the bathroom, kitchen flooring, or any indoor or outdoor area where the decor of the room is highlighted by flooring and window treatments. An Empire Today flooring expert brings samples to you at home to showcase the variety of options and can arrange installation details all in one visit.

Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl Flooring has become more popular because modern versions of vinyl do a much better job of looking like real hardwood and tile at budget-friendly prices. Modern vinyl floors from Empire offer the following benefits for your home:

More stylish than ever due to their realistic appearance

Cushioning layer for added comfort and support

May minimize foot traffic noise levels
