Four Questions to Ask Yourself Before Choosing a Flooring Style

3/12/2021

Choosing a flooring style can be a daunting task with so many factors to consider, why not let the professionals at Colorful Remedies help to make your decision easy with a four question guide to flooring!

Are you looking to install the floors in a high-moisture environment?

If the area of your home is susceptible to lots of moisture, like your kitchen, mudroom or basement, then choose flooring styles such as vinyl, concrete, ceramic, porcelain, or vinyl tiles. These flooring options provide easy clean up and do not get damaged if they become wet or dirty.

Are you installing floors in an area frequented by pets or children?

If you are looking for a flooring that is kid-proof (the human kind and furry kind) consider durable and water-resistant flooring options such as porcelain tile, laminate flooring, or plank vinyl flooring. Certain types of stain resistant carpeting can also be considered.

Do you have a budget for the project?

For projects trying to stay within tight a budget, your best option for flooring would be laminate or vinyl flooring.If you don’t have a strict budget for flooring, you could expand your selection to domestic or imported materials like hardwood, ceramic or porcelain tiles.

Are you looking for a lower maintenance floor?

Some lower maintenance flooring styles are non-slip vinyl, tile, sheet, or plank styles. Although laminate flooring requires a specific cleaning method, laminate is fairly low maintenance. Hardwood and tile are higher maintenance and you can help preserve the floors with a throw or area rug in high foot traffic areas.

I'm planning on remodeling my kitchen, but I'm not sure what I should do for my flooring. It makes sense that I would want to consider choosing a material that is easy to maintain. That seems like a good way to ensure that I can care for my floors effectively.

My aunt has been thinking about getting some better flooring for her bathroom because she wants it to look a lot better. She would really like to get some help from a professional in order to make sure that the pattern looks really nice. I liked what you said about how she should pick materials like concrete, ceramic, porcelain, or vinyl tiles in order to be a lot safer.

You made a good point when you shared that it is great to consider durable and water-resistant flooring options if you are living with pets and kids. My wife and I are planning to move to a new house next month and we want to install a new home flooring that is safer for our kids. I will suggest to her looking for a reliable service that can provide the right one for our new home.

My aunt is looking for a new flooring system that she could use for her countryside home. You made a good point of considering its maintenance cycles and the traffic it'll have to withstand around the home. I think we should consult a flooring store firsthand before deciding to purchase anything in an impulse.
