Flooring covers an expansive spectrum of materials and applications, from wood planks (ideal for living rooms where you're likely to walk barefoot) to porcelain tile (which excels in moisture-prone rooms like bathrooms and laundry rooms), but you no longer have to settle for just the basics: thanks to advances in design and technology there are now even more choices than before!
As part of your decision process for flooring materials, consider not only their aesthetic and cost but also how well they will withstand time as well as how comfortable they may be to live with on an everyday basis. Many homeowners overlook comfort despite its significance.
Hardwood floors are an elegant way to add both beauty and value to your home. Hardwood species include maple, oak, cherry and mahogany - each species offering its own distinct appearance and texture. Wood is an insulator by nature and will keep your space warm during the winter while remaining cool during summer. Due to this versatility it makes hardwood an excellent choice for any room of the house.
Engineered wood is an increasingly popular alternative to solid wood flooring, as its layered structure makes it less prone to warping under humid conditions and for those on tight budgets with limited time or desire. Engineered Wood Flooring also gives the look of real hardwood without incurring extra costs associated with subfloor preparation or preparation time for their subfloor.
Laminate floors consist of a moisture-protective backing layer, followed by a core made up of melamine resin and fiberboard, and finally an image printed with high resolution is printed onto its top surface, giving the appearance of wood, stone or ceramic tiles. Laminate Flooring is an affordable option that stands up well against staining, making cleaning an effortless task with just a mop or vacuum cleaner.
Carpet is a common choice in cold climates, offering both acoustic and thermal insulation as well as design flexibility with different pile heights and colors available. Carpet may pose difficulties for those suffering from allergies due to its ability to harbor odors as well as collect dirt and pet hair - though its popularity among consumers does make up some of this shortcoming.
Parquet floors add visual interest to any space with their intricate patterns and luxurious appearance. First popularized at Versailles Palace during the 16th century, parquet was later adopted in higher-end homes until lower cost alternatives like laminates or vinyl were developed as replacement options. Parquet Flooring consists of interlocked wood blocks arranged into geometric patterns using inlaid wood blocks arranged into herringbone, chevron, diamond or basket weave patterns. Parquet is available today in many hardwood species & colors for installation with either solid or engineered wood flooring; more intricate parquet patterns may require more skill for installation than other forms.
LVT flooring can be an elegant alternative to natural stone or wooden floors, offering similar looks without draining your wallet. Composed of layers of PVC with photographic printed layer for enhanced aesthetic, LVT creates the appearance of more expensive options without emptying your wallet. Selecting the ideal color palette to coordinate with your space can be challenging, but LVT flooring offers many warm and cool tones to match any vision for design accents that can bring it to life.
