When deciding what type of flooring to install, there are a lot of factors that come into play. Where will you be installing it? What will be its primary purpose? What is your budget? Here we break down 4 popular flooring types and some of the advantages of each!
Laminate
If you are looking for something that is easy to install and easy on the wallet, laminate is the way to go. In addition to this, it is easy to clean (just use a vacuum over it), and the protective layer makes it hard to get stained.
Hardwood
Real wood floors can be costly, but they're usually worth the investment. They increase the value of your house and look absolutely stunning. Hardwood floors are easy to maintain by simply sweeping up the dirt and using an approved wood cleaner to "mop" them. If you take good care of your hardwood floors, they will last you a long time and hold up nicely.
Carpet
The most comfy option on which to lay your baby is carpet! It also acts as another layer of insulation, keeping you warmer than wood flooring would do, as well as reducing echoes and sounds throughout your home.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Oh, the options with vinyl tile! If you long for hardwood or stone in your home, you can actually get that in a luxury vinyl tile flooring, and it can look just as beautiful. It is built to endure heavy traffic and is scratch-resistant making it a great option for busy families.
