some of the home designers. Flooring is one of those things that should not

your house and that is why you will need to build a strong foundation, which
should also look good. There are so many flooring options that can give your
floor a definition as well as the durability but choosing from them is quite a
difficult task. You will need to know about their features and ability before
you choose the right one for your home.
So, to help you in that matter here are some of the
floorings and their advantages…
Hardwood- This one is probably the most famous flooring
material that can be seen in most of the household. Hardwood floors are such a
popular option when it comes to having durable flooring that will last for 20
years to come. When a house with hardwood floor goes on sale the rate goes
double automatically. The hardwood floor will give your home a rich traditional
look which will only get better with time because wood flooring changes color
with time. You will just need to avoid install this flooring in bathroom and
kitchen and places with a moist environment.
Laminate- Laminate is one of those floorings that come with
many advantages. For example, laminates flooring lets you imitate other
flooring materials within budget. Laminates are made with four layers of
fiberboard, melamine resin, and a clear protective layer. The shiny look
sometime made laminate look like plastic flooring but it is not. You can easily
maintain a laminate floor because it is stain-free and dust free, just vacuum
it and you will be good to go.
Tiles- Tile flooring is also a very popular choice for many
households, maybe because there are so many designs, patterns and size to
choose from. There are two types of flooring ceramic and porcelain, both of
them have their own features. Because the ceramic tiles can absorb the water
you can install them in the bathroom and also in the kitchen but if you live in
a frost zone it can crack by absorbing water and even pop out. Porcelain is a
very good choice for outdoor installation. Porcelain is slip resistant so you
can easily put them in an area where water can be collected. Porcelain is a very strong flooring material
because no matter what you drop on the floor it will not get damaged.
Travertine- This is flooring made out of natural stone so it
is bound to be durable and strong. There are many shades of travertine such as
beige, brown, mocha, silver, mahogany tones, and golden to red tones. Even
though these tiles are durable but if something happens they can be easily
replaced. They are not only used as flooring but you can also use them on the
walls as well, it will define the look of your house and bring more value.
