Installing the Right Type of Flooring for Your Home

4/14/2022 (Permalink)

Flooring is one of the most essential features of a home. It can tie together your decor and it plays a crucial role in your home’s resale value. The most common flooring types are wood, stone, and concrete slab. Flooring can be a very expensive feature of your home. Follow the guide below in order to choose the best flooring for you.

Wood flooring

Wood flooring can be installed in various ways, depending on how complex you would like the design to be. The least complicated way to lay wood flooring is to have boards that have been “chopped” by a machine. The most common wood flooring layout is using a “locking” flooring system, where the floorboards are fitted as a single unit onto the concrete slab. This method provides the cleanest, most consistent, and most visually appealing finish.

Stone flooring

Stone flooring is incredibly durable as a flooring material. Stone flooring materials are usually preferred for use on the lower levels of houses.

Vinyl flooring

Vinyl flooring is very durable, extremely lightweight, slip-resistant, and relatively easy to maintain. One downside to vinyl flooring is that it does not always look right when placed on floor areas that are not partitioned.

Ceramic flooring

Ceramic flooring is made of glass-ceramic materials which contain silica and is ideal for use on open floor areas and where slip accidents are unlikely. Ceramic flooring is highly durable and provides good sound and heat insulation.

Tile flooring

Tile flooring is made from highly durable materials such as marble or limestone. Tile flooring is available in a wide range of designs and colors and can be installed in areas that have temperature control issues. Tile flooring is also easy to maintain due to its slip-resistant nature.
