Asking The Right Questions

To find the ideal floor for any room, you need to ask yourself a number of questions. It isn’t just about your budget and how you want the floor to look. If you just picked a pretty floor, then you could end up encountering a number of problems along the way.

How much foot traffic do you expect the room to get? The more you expect, the sturdier the floor needs to be. Rooms that are used by everybody most of the time should have high quality flooring installed.

Do you have pets? Getting pet hairs out of the carpet can be murder! It can also make allergies worse. Wooden floors or even laminate floors are easier to remove pet hairs from. However, they can make it difficult for your pet to walk. You need to consider both sides of the argument and find something reasonable.

If you expect a room to have a lot of moisture, like the bathroom, then the floor needs to be able to withstand this.

How much time do you have to dedicate to cleaning? If it isn’t a lot, then you’re not going to want to get a floor that requires lots of scrubbing, or shows off marks easily.

Finally, how long do you want your new floor to last? The durability of your floor will depend largely on the material, and the people who install it. The floor needs to be installed properly, explain GC Flooring Pros. This can be difficult to do, so having a professional do it for you will ensure the best looking, longest lasting floor.

Floor Suggestions Room By Room

Certain rooms are known for having certain types of materials on the floor. Here are some room by room flooring suggestions that could help you to make your decision:

  • The hall – engineered wood flooring is a great choice for the hall. The hall tends to get lots of foot traffic and needs to be as durable as possible.
  • The bathroom – if you don’t select a floor that can withstand moisture, your bathroom floor won’t last very long at all. Laminate or vinyl flooring is popular for a bathroom.
  • The living room – solid wood or hardwood flooring can add character to a living room. There are many finishes you can choose from, and adding a rug will add an element of comfort.
  • The bedroom – wood and laminate are good choices for a bedroom, however, carpet is also popular depending on the look you’re going for.
