Floors Plus • Aug 25, 2023

Choosing the right flooring for your space can be a daunting task. It's important to select a floor that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and durable.

With so many types of floors available in the market, it's normal to feel overwhelmed soon. The purpose of this blog post is to help you make informed decisions and choose the perfect flooring for your home or office. We will discuss the most popular types of floors and highlight their benefits and drawbacks. As always, we're to help. So please feel free to give us a call or come by one of our showrooms for any help or questions.


Carpet: This is one of the most common flooring options. Carpeting is soft, comfortable, and traps heat, making it ideal for colder climates. It also offers excellent sound insulation, making it perfect for buildings with high traffic. However, carpeting requires regular cleaning and maintenance, and it's not the best option for people with allergies.


Hardwood: If you're looking for a timeless, classic floor, hardwood might be the perfect solution. Hardwood is durable, easy to clean, and is a great investment that adds value to your home or office. It's perfect for high traffic areas and is available in various sizes, styles, and finishes. The downside of hardwood is that it can be expensive, and it requires regular maintenance.


Tile: Tile is a versatile flooring option that comes in a variety of styles and colors. It's waterproof and can be used in high moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. It's incredibly durable, easy to clean, and can last a long time if taken care of properly. It's also popular option for those who are looking for a heated floor. However, it can be a little more expensive to install, and you don't want to drop something heavy them.


Luxury Vinyl Plank: Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is a popular option because it's affordable, low maintenance, and has a similar look to hardwood floors. This is hands down one of favorites at Floors Plus. It's easy to install and can be an excellent alternative for people who want hardwood but don't want to pay the price tag. Additionally, LVP is waterproof, scratch resistant and can be installed in any part of the house. However, it doesn't have a natural feel like hardwood or tile flooring.


Laminate: Another affordable option similar to LVP is laminate flooring. It's easy to install, extremely durable, and can be a great option for high traffic areas or rooms with pets. Laminate can mimic the look of hardwood or tile and comes in various natural-looking finishes. It's also easy to clean, but it's not waterproof (at least like LVP is) and it's not as scratch resistant either.


Picking the perfect flooring can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. The decision-making process should involve factors like style, budget, durability, and maintenance requirements. We recommend considering all five options mentioned above and comparing them to see which one will work best for you. Remember, flooring is an investment, so it's essential to choose the right option. Our flooring specialists can be a great resource to help you navigate this process. In the end, the perfect floor will make your space look great, feel comfortable, and last for years.
