Why Socks and Luxury Homes Don't Mix ~
Ask yourself this... "What did my socks do to deserve this?"
Here in Huntington Beach, CA, Surf City USA, we are surrounded by high end luxury homes. And whether it's a new home or a complete remodel, floors are a big deal. While there are many types of flooring, one of the most common type to find in a high end home is travertine.
Travertine comes in many grades and types, but even if it's smoothed, filled, and polished, it will be still be joined to the next stone with a grout line. These lines and the grout that fills them can be very rough, causing instant sock sadness.
There are many other stones that can be used on a floor as well. Slate, limestone, granite, marble, sandstone, I've even see onyx (which I would NOT recommend, by the way). They also vary greatly by how they are "finished", and these finishes can go from being poished and smooth to being rigid and rough. But even on stones with a polished finish, eventually, your socks will be heartbroken... well, you know what I mean.
Ironically, one of the worst stone floors for your socks is slate, commonly found in mountain towns like Park City, UT and Aspen, CO. And here is where you need your socks the most!!! Go figure.
So if you want to save your socks the pain and anguish or slowly breaking down and eventually ending up in some land fill, the solution is simply... Carpet!
