Subfloor Sanity
Last month I got an email from a desperate woman who, in her own words, was “about to die from lack of sleep”. The problem wasn’t her nerves or her love life gone awry or any dire financial setback.

Good flooring is about more than just looks
Whenever you make home renovation choices, the effects of your purchases ripple out much farther than you’d imagine. In fact, some of the choices we make in Canadian home improvement stores reach all the way around the globe. And while this hasn’t always been the case, it certainly is now, especially when it comes to merbau, a wood species used for premium flooring.....Full Article
