As front-runners in the industry, Olympia Tile has great influence over styling and demand, particularly within North America and also worldwide. Additionally, through its large volume purchasing capacity, Olympia has a strong influence over its suppliers around the world to create the most fitting and desirable products for the Canadian and American markets which the manufacturer would otherwise not have in their collection. This results in exclusive style-setting lines specific to Olympia and made to the highest standards of quality and performance. Our commitment to this industry continues with our participation in the LEED program.
Resilient flooring - also known as 'vinyl' or 'sheet vinyl' - has been around for decades and is still one of the most popular types of flooring around. It's made using a printing process known as 'rotogravure', which prints a pattern on the flooring substrate via an engraved cylinder.
Centra's American Biltrite is a great alternative to ceramic or stone. Warmer and quieter, these tiles do not crack. Faster to install, they are available with or without grout.
When it comes to natural beauty and elegance, nothing compares to real wood.
The classic look of hardwood brings character and warmth to any space, offering design and style options that few other floors can match. That's why so many other flooring products emulate the look of natural hardwood. It's also one of the most environmentally sustainable products on the planet.
The answer: Extremely. Made mostly from recycled materials, it also doesn't require the cutting of trees or the mining of other natural materials.
The primary material used in the construction of laminate flooring is high-density fiberboard (HDF) which is most often made of post industrial saw dust with the addition of binding agents. In fact, as much as 70% to 90% of the product is made from recycled content, making use of materials that would otherwise go to landfills.
