In March, Pat and I ventured down to the wonderful city of Orlando for a flooring convention. Almost an entire week of talking about nothing but flooring! There were a lot of new products released and we are excited to be bringing them into the showroom over the next few months.
Tile is a great way to add a splash of personality to your home. The possibilities are endless these days with tile and listelles. Between ceramic, porcelain, stone and glass you have a wide variety of materials to mix and match throughout your home adding pops of color or a more interesting neutral to your overall look within your home.
One of my favorite looks at the moment is painted tile to create murals. The wonderful thing about using painted wall tile instead of wallpaper is that you can easily just do a mural in one section of your wall or you can do the whole wall and still make it look cohesive and flawless while adding dimension to the room.
Another great look is adding glass mosaic tile to your ceramic backsplash. You can bring pops of color into your backsplash and create beautiful depth perception by combining two different styles of tile.
Visit our showroom and take a look at our wide selection of tile. We carry several brands and have professional l installers and consultation experts who can assist in creating a wonderful look in your home or business.

In a partnership with DuPont, this carpet exclusively offers fiber which is produced from corn sugar. Because Mohawk utilizes corn sugar in the production of SmartStrand, 37% of Sorona® is being made from renewable resources. This marks the first time that a luxuriously soft carpet offers durability and stain protection, while also making less of an environmental impact. [Read more…]
In the flooring industry we are seeing cork flooring become more and more popular, in part because cork is sustainable, making it an environmentally friendly product. Cork is a natural, recyclable and biodegradable product, therefore earning its “green” title. Cork is the outer bark of the evergreen cork oak. It is harvested by stripping the bark every nine years. Each cork oak tree can provide an average 16 harvests over its 150-200 year lifespan. After the cork is harvested the trees are left for nine years to allow the cork bark to grow back and then the whole process starts again. Cork is primarily harvested to make wine corks, which are cut from the bark, and the remaining cork is used to make flooring.
Cork is easy to clean, durable, warm, and water-resistant. Cork is also anti-static and is recommended for use where electronic equipment may be used. Cork consists of 40 million cells per cubic centimeter which retain gas, giving cork the ability to float, insulate, and re-expand quickly after compression. Because cork insulates, it is ideal for any part of your home where you may need warmth or quiet. The water-resistantance and natural flexibility of cork makes this flooring perfect for kitchens and bathrooms! Cork flooring is a great option for Colorado homes because of how active we are. Cork is a great option for activity rooms for children and yoga or workout rooms as well! We have also had many clients use cork for commercial purposes in retail outfits and yoga studios.
Cork is naturally hypoallergenic, mildew, moisture, dust, and pollen resistant as well. QU-Cork is a large manufacturer of cork, and a company that Bretz Interiors knows and trusts. QU-Cork has an added level of cleanliness protection called Microban antimicrobial technology infused into the flooring and underlayment products during the manufacturing process to inhibit the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, mold, and mildew. QU-Cork also provides a limited residential lifetime structural warranty that gives testimony to its construction and design of this resilient flooring.
