Do You Know Your Floors?

March 8, 2017 by iccfloors Leave a Comment

If you’re in the early stages of remodeling your home, you have many design options to choose from. While working with a blank canvas allows you to have endless options it can be extremely overwhelming.  That’s why we put together a basic guide on selecting home flooring to make the process much easier. We suggest you use this guideline to narrow down your most favorite flooring options and visit us to further explore those options. Here are the first few to start!

 

Carpet

Carpet is perhaps one of the most popular flooring options. It allows you to easily add style and comfort in your home. Carpet can be purchased in both natural and synthetic fibers. In addition, it is also available in nylon, wool, polyester and a variety of other materials. There are several different colors and thousands of patterns on the market today. If you appreciate versatility, carpet may be the option for you.

 

Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile is made from clay and other inorganic products. It’s best known for its durability. In fact, ceramic tilework has lasted for centuries.  This type of flooring is best for kitchens and bathrooms due to the ease of maintenance. When purchasing ceramic tile for your floors be sure to consider the rating. Usually, ceramic tile is rated on a scale of zero to five based on its hardness. A rating of three is suitable for residential properties.

 

Hardwood

Hardwood is a material that is often used for flooring.  Hardwood floors are manufactured from a wide range of wood types. This type of flooring is available in an array of hardwood species, stain colors, and finish types. Hardwood adds warmth and character to any room and is quite easy to maintain.

 

LVT

LVT, or Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring is a great option for areas of the home that receive a lot of traffic due to its durability. LVT is made from synthetic materials, is very simple to maintain, and is easier on the joints than harder flooring materials. There are vinyl variations on the market that can simulate the look of natural hardwood, stone, and tile.

 

Stone

Stone flooring never goes out of style. In fact, it gives off a feeling of timeless elegance. One of the best features of stone floors is that it is long lasting. Natural stone comes to you straight from the earth, therefore, there are all kinds of wild color variations. If you select natural stone flooring you should order enough materials in one shipment so as to avoid mismatched lots.
