YOUR floor is such an important aspect of your home’s look and feel. It’s imperative to choose floors that are right for your lifestyle, budget and tastes that will ideally last a lifetime.
The three main flooring options are floorboards, tiles and carpet. Here are some factors to consider for each:
Floorboards
Timber flooring can be installed as solid timber or engineered boards. Engineered boards have the same feel and natural look of real species timber and are the perfect options for those who love timber but need to watch their budget. The best thing about timber floorboards is that the more you live on them, the more awesome they look! Timber flooring has an appeal that goes way beyond simple aesthetics. It’s a look and feel that sets it apart from most flooring options, hence their popularity.
Tiles
For such an economical choice, tiles are a great long-term investment. Tiles are an incredible solution for people who suffer allergies and asthma. Plus, one of the benefits of tiles is that they’re super easy to keep clean, even with natural products. The daily grind of high heels, enthusiastic dogs, and even wheeling out your laundry are among the difficulties your floor needs to endure. Porcelain tiles are famous for their practicality, they thrive because they are one of the hardest working floors to resist scratches and marks, they are waterproof and don’t absorb smells.
Carpet
Carpet is a timeless floor covering delivering many benefits including style and comfort. While hard floors also have their place in many homes, carpet has additional features that hard flooring can’t deliver, such as noise reduction, insulation and comfort underfoot. Carpets come in varying fibres, colours and pile constructions, the right choice both elegance and cosiness to your home’s interior design.
