Before you start installing your flooring project, it is a smart decision to research on the best flooring type and compare their costs and benefits. This post then is compiled to help you with that critical research to help you choose a floor type that is ideal for both your budget and space.
Hardwood
Hardwood flooring type has been heavily used in United States homes for decades. People widely love it because it fits in any home decor. It’s also very durable since it can be refinished as much as five times to expel surface scratches. Hardwood floors are also perceived to enhance the resale value of your home.
They are easy to clean and only require regular sweeping and mopping. They are DIY friendly also, allowing you to save cost.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile is designed in various shapes and colours, which make it, fit into any style of home. Advancement in technology has made it possible to produce ceramic tile with practically any pattern, from stone to wood pattern without necessarily feeling like the pattern underfoot.
Carpet Tiles
Carpet tile (พรม แผ่น, which is the term in Thai) is durable and comfortable. They are perfect for family rooms, playrooms, basements and stylish area rugs, and are an excellent DIY project. While wall to wall carpet may not be as famous as hardwood, the carpet tile is fast growing in demand.
Laminate
Laminate can be created to look like wood or stone and are a cheaper flooring option. It requires little maintenance and is also easy to clean. Laminate resists scuffing and scratching better than hardwood.
They are easy to install, which saves you time and cost on your flooring project. HGTV, however, cautions that patience and ingenuity are vital to fit the planks properly.
