Relatives spending the weekend? Daughter moving back in? Could you use a spare bedroom for surprise visitors? Here’s an idea that can accommodate that occasional guest while maintaining your distance: Add a studio apartment above your garage. Studio apartments are often called mother-in-law apartments, perhaps because they add a degree of privacy. They have their own kitchen, living room and bath. Often they feature a Murphy bed. With appliances designed for micro homes becoming more popular it’s easier than ever to plan for and build a studio apartment. Rick Jacobson began this project with a large garage, capable of parking a truck and SUV, and storing everything from bikes to snowthrowers. Then he added a 500+ square foot apartment above the garage. Guests are welcome to the apartment with a private entrance inside a fence. Once inside, the apartment’s open design floods it with daylight from two large skylights and energy-efficient Marvin double hung windows. A gas fireplace below a 42-inch HD TV creates a great entertainment center. It’s all framed with rough-cut black granite, giving the whole apartment a distinctive look. Notice the ¾ inch thick tongue in grove solid oak flooring – the perfect accent to the grey and white interior design. The kitchen features a gas range with outdoor-vented hood, and a space-saving refrigerator and freezer. The custom kitchen backsplash was built using 3 X 10 inch gray subway glass tile. Black granite countertops can be found in the kitchen and bath, and both featuring under mounted sinks. The full ¾ bath features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with 4 x 12 inch ceramic subway tiles arranged in a vertical pattern for a unique look. 6 x 24 inch gray porcelain floor tiles were used in the bath. A full-sized murphy bed folds out of the wall cabinet, offering a great view of the fireplace and HD TV. On either side of the bed, 3 built-in closets and 2 cabinets provide ample storage space. And a coffee table easily converts to a laptop computer workspace for traveling professionals or FaceBook check-ins. The result: An addition that has already proved to be a worthy investment, with the ability to host family and friends while appreciating the property’s value.

Wood flooring adds style and warmth to a home. It can greatly enhance the overall beauty of a home and make it look visually pleasing. Although the popularity of wooden flooring has increased significantly in recent years, many people are not aware of the fact that solid hardwood flooring is not the only option available to them. They can also install engineered wood floors and laminate floors in homes and offices. Although, laminate and engineered wood floors look like solid hardwood floors, but they are very different. Engineered wood flooring is made from natural materials. In this type of flooring, several layers of ply are bonded together. Laminate flooring, on the other hand, is made from synthetic materials.   Let’s take a look at how engineered wood floors and laminate floors stack up against each other-  

1. Composition

Engineered wood flooring is composed of layers of plywood that are bonded together. The topmost layer is of solid wood. Laminate flooring is made up of various layers that are fused together using a lamination process. It has a surface layer made of resin-infused paper.  

2. Installation

Both these types of flooring can be easily installed. Laminate boards lock into each other and there is no need for glue. Engineered wood, on the other hand, is required to be glued to the floor. The entire installation process of both these types of flooring can be easily completed in short time.  

3. Maintenance

The maintenance of both engineered and laminate flooring is easy. Regular vacuuming can be used to keep them clean. A damp cloth can also be used to clean engineered wooden flooring. In the case of laminate flooring, one can be more generous with the use of water. However, the excess use of water must be avoided.  

4. Life Expectancy and Cost

The life expectancy of engineered wooden floors is higher. While most laminate floors last for around 20 years, engineered floors can last for 6-7 decades. However, the cost of laminate flooring is lower than that of engineered floors. Therefore, it is a good option for anyone who wants to revamp the flooring of his home without spending too much.  

5. Options

As far as the choices are concerned, there is no shortage of options. Both engineered floors and laminate floors are available in numerous options. Depending on your specific needs and tastes, you can easily select the right type of flooring that suits your home decor and looks. Over the past few years, the demand for decorative laminates and engineered wooden flooring has increased considerably. Both have their own unique advantages. However, it is important to ensure that you install the best quality wooden flooring manufactured by a renowned company. There are many reliable manufacturers that offer top-quality wooden flooring at affordable prices. Also, make sure that the flooring is properly installed. This will make it easier for you to avoid a number of hassles in future. With wood floor refinishing NJ Science Articles, you can easily transform the overall look and appearance of your home without spending too much money.
