Flooring is by far one of the most important parameters when it comes to the transformation of a space. Your flooring type determines the style of the entire interior – not only the beauty but also the durability, comfort, acoustics, and the long-term maintenance. Whether you are renovating a small house or a busy business premise, it is a significant investment to select the right kind of flooring type.
In the case of Bainton Flooring, we have a group of flooring material specialists who help clients in the decision-making process about determining the balance of beauty, practicality, and cost to provide the project with the ideal foundation.
How to Choose the Right Flooring Material for Your Home or Business?
The number of possible flooring materials nowadays can be impressive but confusing. You can make the best flooring decision with some of these important factors:
Foot Traffic & Usage
Take into account the daily usage of the space. Durable wear-resistant flooring types will be used in a hallway or a retail store, whereas a bedroom would be warmed using carpet or engineered wood.
Moisture & Environment
Kitchens, bathrooms, and basements have conditions of more moisture and, thus, tile, stone, or luxury vinyl plank are the safest options. Laminate or hardwood can be the best choice in dry and controlled conditions.
Aesthetic Appeal
Every flooring material type has its own appearance. Hardwood gives timeless character, stone gives natural beauty, and tiles provide endless patterns of design. Modern materials (especially vinyl and laminates) can easily replicate these styles, and that too at an economical price.
Budget and Lifespan
Substitutes with lower costs will be effective in the short run, but they have to be replaced on a regular basis. The initial cost of long-lasting materials may be high, yet it will be worth it in the long run.
Maintenance Commitments
Take into consideration the amount of time you will be ready to spend on maintenance. As an example, hardwood can be subjected to refinishing, whereas vinyl or tile can be cleaned by only simple routines.
With such factors in place, you will be able to make a sure decision on the most suitable flooring types to install in your property.
