Which Types Of Floors Construction To Choose

The type of flooring that you choose can make a huge difference in how a room looks. Picking the right flooring can increase the value of your home, and make selling your home easier in the future. Here are the most popular types of floors construction that are used in home construction, and how to use them.

Hard Wood Flooring

Hard wood flooring has been the favourite type of floor for a long time. This is due to hard wood floors appearance and durability. Hard wood is a long-lasting product, which is wear resistant. It can also be sanded when it is starting to show wear. The problem with some hard wood flooring is that it can shrink or expand, causing gaps within the surface of the floor. The colour can also darken over time.

Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo flooring is one of the newer types of flooring to be added to the market. Bamboo is one of the greenest flooring options currently available. Like wood, bamboo flooring is also durable, and available in many, different colours. Bamboo will last a long time and may darken from sun exposure, or time. However, bamboo flooring can’t be left wet, as the moisture will cause damage.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is one of the most budget-friendly options for flooring, but it doesn’t look inexpensive. Laminate flooring is also easy to take care of. It is a strong flooring option that is also able to resist scratches, chipping, and burns. Laminate is the best option for areas that have high traffic. There are designs of laminate flooring that resemble many natural materials, and the colour range is much wider that the natural materials. However, laminate is not able to be refinished, and scratches are common. Many times, laminate flooring is used in high moisture areas, as it does not absorb water like natural materials.

Marble Tiles

Since marble tiles are the most versatile and durable tiles on the market, they have a high price tag. Marble tiles are able to be used as flooring, wall covering, and countertops. Marble is easy to clean and to maintain. With their stylish textures and designs, and ability to be engraved, marble tiles can be used for both decoration and practical reasons. There is a wide range of variations and colours that can happen within marble. This means that every tile will be different. This can make replacing a tile hard, as each block of marble has its own colour. There are different sizes of tiles, but they are normally 12” by 12”.

Cork Flooring

Cork flooring is eco-friendly flooring. Cork flooring is usually used in areas that are designed to be play areas as it is very comfortable. This is due to cork being softer than the other flooring options. It is also being used in bathrooms, as it is non-slip. However, it is still very durable if it is properly taken care of. Cork flooring is also naturally fire resistant.
