Floor Maintenance Cleaning and Maintaining your floors are key to their longevity. By ensuring your floors are clean you can prevent stains, scratches, and unwanted grime building up. Understanding what maintenance your floors need will keep them looking beautiful for many years to come. We want to make sure that you understand exactly what it takes to clean and properly maintain your SPC, Engineered Wood, Laminate, and Tile floors. SPC Vinyl SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Vinyl floors are waterproof and extremely durable, but that doesn’t mean they don’t require any maintenance. Keeping these floors clean is relatively easy. Sweep or vacuum with no beater bar, make sure you clean spills immediately, and damp mop (not wet mop) with any gentle floor cleaner that is characterized by low chemical percentages. You can prevent scratches by putting mats at outside doors where you come in with shoes and by putting felt pads on the bottom of all your furniture/accessories. SPC floors are an excellent option if easy maintenance and durability are important to you, and they come in a wide range of styles! Engineered Wood Engineered Wood is absolutely beautiful, but does require a significant amount of maintenance. Clean your hardwood with a damp mop with gentle floor cleaners and sweep regularly to keep it free of debris. Make sure to never get these floors soaking wet as it can cause the wood to warp and buckle. Hardwood flooring will age over time and the coated stain can change with exposure to UV light. You can protect the wood floors with rugs and window coverings that help keep the sun off the floor. Rotate the furniture and accessories around to even out the exposure if there are significant windows nearby that capture the natural light and rays. Types of Engineered Wood There are different finishes for Engineered Wood, Hardwax Oil, UV Oil, or Lacquer. All of these require slightly different maintenance, but all require maintenance care. For Hardwax Oil and UV Oil surfaced floors, give them an oil refresher every 6 months and a maintenance oil every 2-3 years by buffing the appropriate oil into the floors. Lacquered floors require cleaning with lacquer soap biweekly. Bona and Woca are highly recommended wood cleaning agents from our manufacturers! When looking for everyday floor cleaners, avoid ones that leave an oily residue, you only need to add these to some hardwood floors every few months. Laminate Laminate flooring is easy to maintain, but can still be affected by moisture and scratches. Keep clean by mopping with a damp mop, and sweeping regularly. Avoid items that can scratch the floor because unlike hardwood, these can’t be fixed without replacing the damaged section or planks. Clean wet spills immediately to prevent seeping into the floor edges for further water damage. For floor maintenance use rugs in high traffic areas and keep a regular cleaning schedule. Cleaners with low chemical content can be used if simple water mopping does not remove stubborn stains or spills. Tiles Flooring tiles are extremely hardy and characterized by top specifications and quality but still do require regular maintenance that varies depending on your tile. For ceramic tiles, since they are recommended for wall applications, clean with items that are low chemical content to protect the surface of the tile.You can clean these tiles with a simple mixture of warm water and mild dish soap. Porcelain tiles can handle highly resilient cleaning power. Use a soft bristled brush and scrub in a mixture of vinegar and warm water for example, and let set for a few minutes before rinsing with water and wiping dry with a towel. Any tile cleaners with certain chemicals can also be used if specific mention is present for porcelain surfaces. Whichever flooring brand you end up going with it’s always best to clean with the manufacturers recommended cleaning agent to ensure your floors longevity.

You’ve just chosen your perfect floors, now what do you do? Should you hire a professional flooring company to install the flooring for you, or attempt the project on your own? This can be a difficult and slow task if you’re unfamiliar with proper flooring installation and the steps involved. Hiring a professional company/contractor can save you a lot of time, mess, and headache of getting your dream flooring installed and finished. It Takes Time One of the biggest problems with renovations (commercial or residential) is the overall time involved. Running over schedule is a normal part of building & renovating, but using professional teams might be the difference between staying on time and living in an unfinished space for several years. If you want the job done on time, a renowned professional is always the best choice. Floor installers have experience with multiple styles & flooring types, they understand the process, are less likely to make mistakes, and you end up with a more presentable floor than you might have otherwise had. Flooring Styles There are many different styles of flooring that are growing in popularity. A herringbone pattern with a wood floor is fun, modern, and adds interest to your home. Tiles with a design or facial pattern can make a space much more elegant & provides character. These style choices look impressive, in part because they require skill & craftsmanship to execute properly. Using a professional flooring company opens up the possibilities of what you can do with your flooring, and make your home stand out. Professional Floor Installers Getting to relax in your finished home or office is the best feeling. The construction process is always stressful, whether you’re just replacing your flooring, or you’re changing the whole layout. Hiring a professional will grant you peace of mind, and get you the look you want with minimal stress. The importance of minimizing the disruption to your feature space and life is an often overlooked part of the construction process. Being able to live your life through a short or long renovation is something that shouldn’t be overlooked. Professional floor installers will take care of your project, so you can continue with your daily routines! With these points in mind, you can see why most people hire contractors for their flooring projects. You have access to more flooring options as to which will look better, be installed faster, and cause you less stress & disruption than if you were to try it for yourself, no matter how simple the process initially looks. If you have a flooring project that you need to select prime material for and get professional installation done, get in touch with us by phone at 778-592-4500, or submit a request. Our knowledgeable team is always happy to help you with your flooring needs. Luxury | Quality | Excellence | PARADIGM
Choosing a floor for your kitchen can be a challenge. On one hand, you want a type of flooring that is water resistant and highly durable for all those liquid spills and pan drops. On the other hand, it has to be beautiful and stylish (it’s where you’ll spend most of your time!). What if we told you that you could have it all? Here is why tile flooring is an excellent option for your kitchen. It will hold up to any and all wear, is resistant to water damage and it comes in many different options – it can be hard to choose just one that you would want in your kitchen! When you’re looking for tile, consider your personal style, the colour tones and style of your home, and the physical space you have to work with. There are numerous options that suit a multitude of different needs and wants, varying from overall finish to coating specifications of the flooring. Porcelain Tiles One of the most popular types of tile is porcelain. Porcelain isn’t just available as a flat white tile in your basic kitchen anymore. Porcelain tiles come in a variety of colours, sizes, shapes and prints, all suitable for any home and any style. New porcelain tiles can even look compellingly similar to wood, marble or rustic stone flooring. Popular for its versatility, stain and water resistance, this is a great choice for any kitchen, especially if you have kids or pets that tend to make a mess. This selection kicks things up a notch in the water resistance and durability department. The high-quality products sold at Paradigm are extremely eco-friendly and is a great addition to modern “green” homes. An example of a timeless porcelain tile pattern is marble look, available as Carrara or Calacatta for example. Prized for its sweeping veins and rich dimension, this tile looks incredible and has been a staple of high-end homes for years. We love using large tiles (such as a 24”x48” format) to capture the natural elegance of this tile look and to continue vein patterns without as many grout interruptions. Selecting a tile for your floor is a personal decision, and your lifestyle plays a role in what direction you choose to go. You need a flooring that suits your life and won’t be a hindrance or require an expensive replacement. We have advanced options for you in porcelain tile and much more!
