It’s time for new flooring, but which kind of flooring is best? The Paso Robles carpet and flooring experts from Frontier Floors have some tips to help people choose the best type of flooring for what they need, want and can afford.
Homeowners have all kinds of reasons for installing new flooring. Selling a home, buying a new home, remodeling, repurposing a room, the old flooring is damaged or worn out, or it’s just time to give the home a facelift; are all reasons people decide to freshen up their floors.
The top consideration for choosing the best type of flooring is to think about what kind of activities the floor is going to be exposed to. For example, rooms such as laundry rooms, mud rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and the now-empty bedroom being converted to an art studio may be best served by flooring that can stand up to moisture, extra tracked in debris, spills and stains.
Other considerations include:
- Are there pets in the house and is cleaning up after pets going to be challenging?
- Are there small children in the house that need easy-to-clean floors that are still soft enough to cushion tumbling toddlers?
- Does any member of the household have mobility issues?
- Is maintenance an issue? Jobs, travel, hobbies and a busy life can mean there is less time for vacuuming, sweeping and other floor maintenance chores.
- Are all of the floors being redone or just selected rooms?
- What is the square footage of each room?
- Is there a preferred color scheme or style of décor?
- What is the budget? Budget limitations don’t mean that beautiful and functional flooring isn’t available.
Whether installing new flooring throughout the entire home or only in certain rooms, the knowledgeable staff at the carpet and flooring showroom can provide excellent guidance.
