Kelly Weaver, with Ideal Coatings in Middlebury, recommends making a statement with the metallic style of epoxy flooring. This flooring type literally functions like a “unique piece of art that gives off a marble appearance with a variation of lighter and darker spots of color,” stated Weaver. Epoxy flooring works well in both a kitchen and bathroom because it is seamless and waterproof. Additionally, “it is easy to maintain via sweeping and mopping in the absence of grout lines that easily attract dirt.” One thing to keep in mind, though, is the use of furniture protectors to help reduce the chance of creating scratches in the flooring. According to Chris Doncaster, owner of Doncaster Flooring and Design in Mishawaka, many homeowners are spending less time traveling and more time remodeling. “One notable trend is that homeowners are keeping things very simple. Even the younger homeowners are minimalists who avoid clutter and anything that overwhelms,” said Doncaster. 6 | Michiana House and Home | February 2021 |
