Simas is now an all purpose flooring company working with retail and remodeling customers, builders, commercial property owners and managers and commercial management companies. Our products have expanded to include carpet, tile, solid countertops, window coverings and LVT.
Hardwood flooring remains one of our specialties. There are 4 types of hardwood and hardwood-looking floors to consider for your next project:
Engineered
Engineered Hardwood is the most commonly installed hardwood product in the Sacramento region. It's the best hardwood floor solution for a home that's built on a concrete slab. Engineered hardwood is made of wood layers that are glued together. The thickness of the top layer will vary from a peeled 1mm to a sawn 4mm product. Engineered hardwood performs best when it is glued to the concrete creating a solid feel under foot. It can also be floated or nailed.

Laminate
Laminate is not a hardwood. Laminate is a pressed board that has a photo of hardwood on the top and a hard coating over the photo paper. Laminate is a floating floor that clicks together and is recommended for active families with children and/or pets since the surface doesn't scratch or dent as easily as hardwood. It can also be a more economical choice than real hardwood floors.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
The latest in the hardwood floor look is LVP. This product is excellent for both residential and commercial and can be either floated or glued directly to the floor. When this product was first introduced we installed most of it in commercial buildings. Most recently we are installing the LVP in residential homes with excellent results!

3/4" Solid Hardwood
Solid hardwood is installed on a plywood or particle board raised foundation and is installed using nail down installation. Solid hardwood is purchased from the factory either pre-finished or unfinished. Unfinished hardwood is sanded, stained and coated in place after installation. The prefinished hardwood is ready to walk on right after installation.
