PAGE U-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MARCH 14, II No longer out of bounds. . . Kitchens and baths feature real hardwood flooring "Hearth and home" most of­ ten means the kitchen these days. The comfortable, old- fashioned kitchen, especially the kind large enough to be used as a dining room and family- room, is often the center of fam­ ily life. So, when home remodelers think about sprucing up their kitchens this spring, they'll be looking for design elements which retain the warmth and co- ziness of the kitchens they re­ member. One element which can cer­ tainly add the feeling of warmth and tradition to a kitchen is real hardwood flooring, with its glow and comfort. And, thanks to recent ad­ vances in the wood flooring in­ dustry, it is now possible to combine the warmth and beauty of conventional hardwood with the highest state-of-the-art tech­ nology in wear resistance and durability. GenuWood II, a unique con­ cept in vinyl-bonded natural wood flooring, is now available to the home installation market, after achieving widespread ac­ ceptance in leading department stores, malls, hotels, banks and office buildings--so you can bet it's tough. Perfect for households The same factors which have made GenuWood the perfect floor for elegant restaurants and fast food outlets alike make it a good choice for residential kitchens too. It's durable, wear resistant and easy to maintain. The flooring was designed by PermaGrain Products to answer a real consumer need--a wood floor which can stand up under heavy foot traffic and wear con­ ditions, and one which can take advantage of such beautiful woods as cherry, walnut and teak. The floor's durability results from its construction. Perma-, nently protecting the hardwood is a layer of 20-mil pure vinyl. Beneath the wood layer is a layer of core vinyl with a fiber­ glass screen sandwiched be­ tween. So, the hardwood is protected from direct contact with ihoisture from above and below. Not only is this woftd flooring fully practical for use in ordi­ nary installations such as living rooms, dining rooms, halls and bedroom, but in baths, play­ rooms and kitchens as well. Favorable comparison For sheer toughness, dimen­ sional stability and resistance to abrasion, this floor outperforms vinyl tile* vinyl asbestos and wood parquet and, with its supe­ rior non-slip characteristic, GenuWood is ideal for the kitchen. For do-it-yourselfers as well as professional installers, Genu­ Wood II is easy to install directly on sound, smooth and dry con­ crete or plywood. Maintenance is minimal-- KNOTS TO YOU !
