How To Pick The Best Type Of Floor Covering

Flooring is one of the most critical of all the house decorating decisions you’ll need to make. Random selections can lead to disruptive patterns and a seemingly choppy layout. An open concept home will seem closed off without cohesion. In addition to pain-worthy aesthetics, the flooring could be uncomfortable or nonfunctional, making matters worse.

As the pressure builds, find solace in the many identifiable factors which distinguish each flooring type. No two floors are alike; you can narrow down the options by knowing your style from the start. Then, once you’ve found workable flooring, come to The Gray Mill to see the covering in person. In the meantime, we’ve created this list to help you find the floor covering suitable for you.

Floor Covering Options

1. Hardwood
   Hardwood floors are some of the most beautiful in terms of varying tones, finishes, and
   grains. However, with such beauty comes a higher price tag than other options.
   Hardwood is durable and can withstand refurnishing to remove possible scratches despite
   the cost. Hardwood could also increase your home’s resale value as the material is highly
   sought-after.
2. Laminate
   Laminate is a popular option for those who like the idea of hardwood but want a lower
   price. Laminate is made from layers of fiberboard overlayed with a photographic image,
   such as wood or tile. Using a photograph ensures each piece is the same as the others,
   allowing for greater cohesiveness throughout your house. Additionally, laminate has a
   wear-resistant finish which holds anti-scratching properties. This tough material is
   excellent for areas with high traffic and no heavy moisture.
3. Tile
   With contemporaries across the world, tile has become the number one choice. The
   numerous shiny patterns or clean-slate looks can fit the style of any decorator. Options
   are endless as color, shape, and size are limitless. In addition to its trendy use, tile is an
   excellent option for areas prone to water damage. Tile doesn’t soak up water like
   hardwood, so cleaning spilled liquids is much easier. Also, ceramic tiles are almost
   impossible to dent or scratch with their hard surface.
4. Vinyl
   Vinyl is another option not likely to break the bank. The material is made of plasticizers
   and polyvinyl chloride and takes the form of sheet, tile, or plank. Vinyl is versatile and
   can replicate the look of glass, stone, tile, or wood. The best part is the comfortable
   surface and warmer-than-tile feel.
5. Carpet
   As with the options mentioned, carpet is available in multiple forms, including wool or
   synthetic fiber. Carpet is perfect for spaces experiencing barefoot traffic, such as the
   living room or bedroom. The material is warm, soft, and comfortable, all especially
   important for adventurous children playing on the floors.
