ATLANTA, GA, April 10, 2012 (Press-News.org) It shouldn't be surprising to those who have children, that Atlanta Hardwood Flooring is constantly in harm's way from rambunctious babies! The experts at FlooringAtlantaNow are truly masters of the trade, and most recommend using more durable types of wood for high-traffic areas of your home which are prone to scratches or abrasions.
Most Atlanta Flooring specialists agree that winter is the best time to do these types of installations and upgrades to your home. Because metro-Atlanta is known for its mild winters, the season offers a perfect climate which tends to be cooler and dryer which is optimal for working with wood.
As traditional wood flooring is a natural product derived from different types of trees, it tends to assume similar properties and behaviors when exposed to moisture by expanding or swelling. With Atlanta's notoriously hot and humid summer months, it's no wonder the experts advise against doing installations during that time.
"Choosing the right season to upgrade your floors to hardwoods, is the first step to making them more durable and longer lasting" says Jason Fritz, operator of FlooringAtlantaNow. He goes on to say, "We recommend waiting for a colder, and dryer season like fall or winter for all hardwood flooring installations."
The type of finish you choose also plays a factor in how well your floors are protected against the abnormally high wear-and-tear that most active families see in their homes. With so many to choose from, how does know whats best? Acid-cured finishes tend to be the most durable and resistant to scratches or abrasions.
For example, a professional Atlanta Flooring Company who specializes in Hardwoods should recommend using a durable tree such as Brazilian Cherry, as it's known to be strong and solid. Hickory is another popular options when trying to create a "baby-proof" wood floor.
Hard and dense wood, in conjunction with a superior acid-cured finish, coupled installing the floors during the winter months should produce a result that could only be created by a master tradesman.
Finding a professional Hardwood Flooring company doesn't have to be a hassle. Jason, and his team from FlooringAtlantaNow work hard to build better floors then anybody else in Atlanta, Georgia.

Black flies may have a purpose after all
2012-04-10
Athens, Ga. – Black flies drink blood and spread disease such as river blindness—creating misery with their presence. A University of Georgia study, however, proves that the pesky insects can be useful.
Don Champagne, an entomology professor with the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, discovered a way to use the black fly's blood-sucking tactics for medical advancement. The results of his research were published in the journal PLoS One.
"In order to feed on blood, these insects have to contend with our natural defense agents against blood loss—like ...
Sexual reproduction brings long-term benefits, study shows
2012-04-10
Courtship rituals can be all-consuming, demanding time and effort – but now scientists have discovered why it might be worth it.
Attracting a mate – which can take significant effort, such as in a peacock's show of feathers or the exhaustive rutting of stags – can produce benefits for a species in the long term, a study suggests.
Scientists have shown that animals and plants which reproduce sexually are at a considerable advantage to those species – such as some insects and reptiles – that reproduce without a partner.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied ...
Genetic regulator of fat metabolism and muscle fitness discovered
2012-04-10
While exercise is accepted universally as the most beneficial prescription physicians can write for patients, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that generate its widespread health benefits. Researchers from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine have shed light on this mystery by discovering that a genetic factor, Kruppel-like Factor 15 (KLF15), governs the body's ability to burn fat during exercise.
Previous research from the laboratory of Mukesh Jain, MD, FAHA, identified the importance of KLF15 in the metabolism of two of the three basic nutrients used ...
Head and body lice appear to be the same species, genetic study finds
2012-04-10
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new study offers compelling genetic evidence that head and body lice are the same species. The finding is of special interest because body lice can transmit deadly bacterial diseases, while head lice do not.
The study appears in the journal Insect Molecular Biology.
Scientists have long debated whether human head and body lice are the same or different species. The head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) is a persistent nuisance, clinging to and laying its eggs in the hair, digging its mouthparts into the scalp and feeding on blood several times a ...
A bit touchy: Plants' insect defenses activated by touch
2012-04-10
HOUSTON -- (April 9, 2012) -- A new study by Rice University scientists reveals that plants can use the sense of touch to fight off fungal infections and insects. The study, which will be published in the April 24 issue of Current Biology, finds that plant defenses are enhanced when plants are touched.
"From previous studies, we knew that plants change their growth in response to touch but we didn't know how these growth changes were activated," said Wassim Chehab, a faculty fellow in Rice's Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology and lead author of the new study. ...
Opening the gate to robust quantum computing
2012-04-10
AMES, Iowa -- Scientists have overcome a major hurdle facing quantum computing: how to protect quantum information from degradation by the environment while simultaneously performing computation in a solid-state quantum system. The research was reported in the April 5 issue of Nature.
A group led by U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory physicist Viatsheslav Dobrovitski and including scientists at Delft University of Technology; the University of California, Santa Barbara; and University of Southern California, made this big step forward on the path to using the ...
O'Reilly Collins Wins $4.6 Million Verdict in Insurance Bad Faith Case
2012-04-10
On March 28, 2012, O'Reilly Collins obtained a verdict in favor of its client, Stephens & Stephens XII, LLC, and against Fireman's Fund Insurance Company for $4,673,125.10 for failure to pay an insurance claim.
Stephens' warehouse was stripped of copper wiring, causing over $2 million electrical and mechanical damages. Stephens was notified of the theft on July 1, 2007 by the Richmond police who apprehended two thieves. Stephens promptly notified its insurance company, Fireman's Fund, of the loss and asked to pay for the repairs. Fireman's Fund initially promised ...
Life expectancy may affect when you get married, divorced, have kids: Queen's University study
2012-04-10
Major life decisions such as marriage, divorce, abortion, having a child and attending university may be subconsciously influenced by how long people believe they will live, according to a Queen's University study.
"Life expectancy might be driving all of these major decisions," says Daniel Krupp, a post doctoral fellow in the Queen's math department who has a background in psychology and biology.
The longer someone expects to live, the more time they will invest in education. If life expectancy is short, someone may decide to get married and have children sooner, or ...
Caution needed when curbing overuse of healthcare resources, study suggests
2012-04-10
NEW YORK, April 9, 2012 – In the current hyper-charged United States healthcare debate, the focus on lowering cost without compromising quality of care remains a priority. But according to a new study by researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center and colleagues, one common approach may have serious unintended consequences.
Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Clinical Scholars program and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the study, which appears today in the April issue of Health Affairs, examines the potential impact of policies ...
Heart failure patients with diabetes may benefit from higher glucose levels
2012-04-10
Lowering glucose levels for people with diabetes is normally critical to improving health outcomes. But for those with heart failure, that might not always be the case, say UCLA researchers.
A new study found that for advanced heart failure patients with diabetes, having higher blood glucose levels may actually help improve survival rates.
Currently published online in the American Journal of Cardiology, UCLA researchers compared levels of a marker used to track glucose levels called glycosylated hemoglobin in advanced heart failure patients with and without diabetes. ...
