Flooring Material
Introduction
Renovating your home entails excitement, thrill, hard work, but also a good amount of research. Stores are filled with countless options to choose from, and that could make your decision-making process harder. When renovating your flooring, you will find that learning about the different types of flooring in terms of style, durability, and installation will guide you in your decision making. We have put together a list of popular flooring types to help you make the best decision for your family and home.
1. Engineered Hardwood
This wood looks just like solid wood. Engineered Hardwood floors tend to come in layers with the top and bottom layer being 100% wood. The middle normally comprises 5 to 7 layers of plywood. Engineered Hardwood is praised for its wood-like qualities but with more durability than authentic hardwood. Engineered hardwood can be installed on all three levels of the house.
2. Hardwood
Not much can be said about this material; it’s actual wood. Many homeowners aspire to have hardwood floors due to its durability, timelessness, and appeal. Hardwood flooring is best installed in the first and second levels of the house, but it is not ideal for bathrooms, laundry, or basements due to the high humidity.
3. Laminate
This is simply synthetic wood. Laminate flooring offers an easy and cost-effective solution for people looking to have the hardwood floor look in their homes. Laminate flooring can be installed anywhere in your home, and it stands the test of active households. It is very durable because of its layers.
4. Tiles
Ceramic tile can be installed anywhere. It is waterproof, and you will find many finishes available. One drawback of tiles is the grout lines. Over time, they tend to collect dirt, and they become difficult to clean properly.
5. Cork/Carpet
Cork or Carpet is an excellent option for play areas. Cork and carpet are both very comfortable both for standing and sitting. Cork or carpet can be installed almost anywhere, although carpet especially it is not recommended in kitchens, laundry, and bathrooms. In terms of selection, you will find many color tones and patterns that you can choose.
Flooring Installation
