The Best Flooring for Family Homes

The Best Flooring for Family Homes

Being able to find suitable flooring for your family’s house can provide comfort and functionality in the home. Another benefit of using the right floor in the appropriate room of the house is less maintenance to make it last longer. Below are some of the best flooring options to use in your family’s home.

Carpet

Carpet is one of the most used flooring in almost any bedroom. This type of flooring can provide a warm aesthetic as well as insulation in the room. Everyone will appreciate waking up in the morning to a warm carpet instead of a stone cold tiled floor.When selecting a carpet, carefully consider these factors:

Carpet Floor

• Carpet density – This is the amount of tufts and the yarn size within each of the square metre area of the carpet. A highly dense carpet is usually resistant to wear and tear due to the large number of tufts. However, buyers should always inspect a carpet they plan to buy as the tufts may look dense on the surface, but they might be spread thinly underneath.
• Carpet fibre – There are different types of fibres used in creating a carpet such as polyester, wool, nylon and acrylic. The fibres affect the resilience of the carpet. The most expensive carpet is wool, due to its natural ability of being resilient to soil and to repel stains which makes it easier to maintain.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a carpet with a higher resiliency for your children’s room. This will help the flooring withstand the amount of activity from your kids and pets.

Polished Concrete

Polished concrete flooring is generally used in indoor public places such as shopping centres. This is due to the stylish aesthetic which can enhance the ambient lighting of the area. It is also used for its ability to reduce the vibration to maintain a comfortable sound level and eliminate noise.

Residential usage of polished concrete is still recommended. This type of flooring requires little maintenance due to its high resistance to dirt and stains. Polished concrete is suited for the kitchen and living room, which typically has more foot traffic than other rooms in the house.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is able to mimic the look and feel of wood flooring at an affordable price. It provides a comfortable yet sophisticated style in any room within the house. Laminated floors are also durable and very resistant to scuffs and scratches. It can also withstand the impact from most heavy objects.

Laminate flooring is also resistant to dirt and stains making it easier to clean. It has an incredible life span where it can last for over 15 years, unlike other natural looking flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to living rooms, hallways and bedrooms. Placing an area rug can provide the benefits of a carpet flooring while reducing the difficulty in maintaining it.
