When it comes to home flooring, everyone’s got a preference. Some swear by the natural look and feel of a hardwood floor. Others prefer vinyl flooring or laminate flooring. Whatever a person’s preference is for flooring, he/she tends to choose flooring for its look and feel as well as its durability.
What’s more is that people are willing to pay for flooring. In fact, total 2017 flooring sales topped out at nearly $22 billion.

This method results in an indention 100 square millimeters in size.
