Fabulous Flooring Underfoot
Fuzzy\ textured, and smooth, today's flooring choices
are endless. Read on to learn more about how to
give your floors an instant facelift.
By: Christie Bohm Chase, Staff Writer
When walking into a room, our eyes are
drawn to the color of the walls, the design of
the furniture and the decorations on the
walls. The floors are not something that
usually attract much attention, but if they
add beauty and warmth they can stop you in
your tracks. Carpet is the floor covering of
choice in the majority of homes in the United
States, however it is one of many flooring
options available today. Your floors get more
wear and tear than any other surface in your
home, so when choosing new flooring it is
important to consider the amount of traffic
your floor will receive, in addition to carpet,
hardwood, tile, laminate, and vinyl, more
alternative flooring materials such as
concrete, cork, and bamboo are becoming
more widely available.
Flooring Face-Off
Carpet
Carpet is popular because it is both
practical and decorative. On the practical
side, carpet helps reduce a home's noise
level, acts as a natural insulator, providing
warmth in cold weather, and is also
generally less expensive than other types of
flooring. Decoratively, carpet can add
elegance, comfort, and fashion to any
setting. Carpet is available in a selection of
styles, patterns, and colors, allowing people
to personalize their homes with unique
flooring options. Carpet can serve as a
neutral backdrop that complements other
furnishings, or it can serve as the focal point
of a decor. The only truly three-dimensional
floor covering, carpet offers textural
possibilities that other hard surfaces lack.
Wood
Hardwood lasts longer than other flooring
options and can be refinished when it
becomes dull and old looking. Today's
poiyurethane finishes make hardwood a
functional option in kitchens and bathrooms,
where water frequently gets on the floor. The
most common styles of wood floors come in
strips, planks or parquet squares. Unfinished
wood flooring offers unlimited color stain
options; however, it must be sanded, stained
and sealed, which usually requires the
expertise of a professional and can put your
room out of commission for several days or
even weeks. Prefinished wood flooring
features a factory-applied finish that many
homeowners prefer because it eliminates
sawdust and finish vapors, and the room
can be used merely hours after installation.
The color options for prefinished flooring are
not as varied as for unfinished flooring.
Tile
Tile is a durable, low-maintenance flooring
option and can be used anywhere in the
home. It is a great choice for heavy-traffic
areas or areas that are exposed to moisture.
Most residentiaiiy used tiles are either stone
or ceramic, and come in unlimited colors,
patterns, shapes, and sizes.
Vinyl
Vinyl floor coverings are durable and less
costly than most tile and wood. Vinyl is
available in sheets or in tiles that can be cut
to fit into any room. Most vinyl flooring is
either rotogravure vinyl, which features a
highly textured and patterned surface that
can be difficult to clean, or inlaid vinyl, that
has pattern and color throughout the entire
thickness of the vinyi and is typically much
more durable than rotogravure vinyl and will
last longer.
Laminate
Laminate flooring consists of a decorative
image printed on one or more thin sheets of
paper that is then coated in plastic or resin,
bonded to a rigid core, and then backed to
prevent warping. Because the image printed
on the paper layer is actually a photograph,
laminate floors truly look like wood, stone, or
other materials and come in a range of
colors and patterns.
Under Foot
Deciding to replace old flooring with new
flooring is the easy part. Choosing a pattern,
type, and color can be more challenging, as
there are literally hundreds of thousands of
choices. There are many elements to
consider when making a flooring purchase.
You should consider the primary use of the
room, the lifestyle of your family, your
decorating tastes and most importantly, your
budget. Following are a few things to
consider when deciding on the perfect
flooring for your home.
Cleaning Ease
For easy-care flooring, choose vinyl,
laminate, or ceramic tile, which offer smooth
surfaces that clean easily with a broom or a
mop. Other materials will require a bit more
upkeep to maintain; for instance, wood
requires wax or oil every so often, and
carpet requires regular vacuuming and
occasional steam cleaning.
Durability
Ceramic and stone tile, laminate, and
concrete rank at the top in ability to endure
daily abuse from children, pets, and heavy
traffic.
Life Expectancy
If you're looking for a flooring that will
outlast anything else in your room, opt for
tile, hardwood, cork, or concrete. Most other
flooring materials will need replacing long
before these durable options.
Water Wise
Tile, vinyl, and certain types of laminate
have been proven to best stand up to having
heavy doses of water splashed on them,
making them good choices for bathrooms.
Allergy Test
If you suffer from allergies and are
concerned about your home's indoor air
quality, choose a hard flooring material, such
as ceramic tile or hardwood, that contains
few crevices or grooves to harbor dust mites
and allergens.
