Hardwood Flooring: Six Solid Choices for Your Home

- When it comes to home flooring, solid American Hardwoods™ have been our gold standard since the nation’s founding—and they still are. Few materials can match the durability of oak, walnut, maple, ash, and other favorite species, which can be sanded and refinished for decades, outlasting kids, pets, foot traffic, and trends—and somehow looking better for it. They’re also remarkably practical, available in multiple widths, grades, and finishes, and easy to install. “American hardwoods are grown, harvested, and milled right here, giving architects and builders a reliable, high-quality supply,” notes Ian Faight of the American Hardwood Information Center. “Nothing rivals hardwood’s warmth and natural variation, and as a low-emission, renewable resource, it supports healthier interiors and everyday well-being.” Here are six examples of what it can do for your home.

Warren Floats Selling Town Buildings to Buy Old Guard Site

Warren could buy the former National Guard building on Market Street by matching a $610,000 auction bid. Officials said the town's 30-day window is expected to open after a state board meets Nov. 24. The new council, set to be sworn in next month, would make the call. Ideas discussed included selling the Main Street building that houses Head Start, possibly to the program's operator for housing and the program, and eventually selling the Miller Street rescue station. Officials said a $2 million grant is a reimbursement for a rescue station, not cash in hand. No vote was taken.
