When you enter a room, one of the first things, which you will notice is the flooring, which often helps to set the ambiance and is an essential part of the interior design. The flooring also provides comfort and warmth to your room.
If you are planning for flooring supplies for your home or business, there are many options you have at your disposal. The flooring selected can be expensive and the decision is usually based on the purpose of the room, your preferences and lifestyle and your budget.
Choosing the right flooring supplies will depend on a number of factors and the following are some things you should take into account. These include the:
•Ease of maintenance and cleaning
Laminates and ceramic tiles are easily cleaned and maintained with water and soap while carpet and some stone tiles require considerable upkeep. Of all the flooring supplies, area rugs are the easiest to maintain.
•Wear and tear
Hardwood and especially vinyl floors are easily scraped and dented and stone tiles such as marble usually show scratches when cleaned.
•Heavy-traffic areas and moisture-prone
Use ceramic tiles and laminates for kitchens, lobbies, laundry rooms and bathrooms. However, hardwood flooring supplies are prone to damage if exposed to water and fluids.
•Durability
One of the toughest flooring supplies is laminates, which are best suited for pets and kids. Another high performance flooring is ceramic tiles and stone floors, including granite and marble.
•Look and design appeal
Popular choices for flooring supplies are hardwood, area rugs and carpet because they usually give a rich, elegant, warm and inviting look. Ceramic tiles and stone floors are also very attractive. For noise reduction and comfort, carpets are the ideal.
•Choice of styles and colors
Carpets come in different styles, colors, formats and fibers, including wool, nylon and olefin. However, for the hardwood or ceramic look, laminates and vinyl are very good imitators.
•Ease of installation
Very good candidates for do-it-yourself projects are laminates and vinyl, while area rugs have little or no installation.
•Cost
While hardwood and stone tiles are at the high end, laminates are the least expensive with carpets having a range of costs.
