Vinyl That Looks Like Hardwood Floors

 
Konecto By Metro Floors
 
Don't think your household can be careful enough with hardwood floors? Several very attractive products areKonecto vinyl plank floors available that will have some thinking they are not vinyl floors, specifically Metro Floors and their Konecto vinyl plank line.

Pictured on the right is their Traditional. You may have heard lock and fold floors were easy to install, but this one is even easier!  Konetco is a floating vinyl floor, requiring no glue while connecting with a locking mechanism different than other floating floor types.

Konecto comes in planks giving it that hardwood floor look alike. Always wanted that hardwood flooring running into the bathrooms? No problem with this one. It is a completely waterproof floating floor, making it the first of it's kind. Konetco also solves a problem that has always plagued the building industry that uses lightweight concrete. It doesn't have to be glued!

Product lines offered are Prestige, Country, and Sierra. Color selections run from rustic appearance to a creamy Maple look alike. All planks are 48 inches in length and 6 inches in width. View the product presentation with the video below.

 

 
 
Amtico Vinyl
 
UnlikeVinyl floor telegraphing effect. Poor floor preparation Konetco, Amtico offers darker rich toned hardwood look-alikes in the form of Wenge, Teak, Rosewood, Cherry, Palisander, Black Walnut, and Elm. Herringbone, random with plank, and even a ship's decking motif can be obtained.

Amtico can be found in places like Expo Design, or if you're the savvy shopper some online companies offer their products at substantially lower prices. Plank widths vary from 3 1/2 inches to five, running standard at 36 inches in length.

These floors don't offer the easy installation as Konetco, but does provide some attractive border designs that mimic hardwood.  Also available are synthetic metal accents in the likes of Copper and Silver that can be added to any design.  Planks are installed by the glue down method with an acrylic adhesive, requiring very sound a flat substrates that will not offer a telegraphing effect (seen right).
