The look of wood flooring depends on four main aspects; the species of wood, the grade of the grain, surface finish and the size of the plank. We have an infographic that will help you to choose the right flooring for your property.
Laminate flooring – A fast becoming preferred selection for homeowners, it is the most resilient and environmentally friendly floor. They offer a softer and warmer underfoot feel. They provide grout-free installation, with easy maintenance. They can be installed over wood or concrete, thus its versatility. The biggest advantage of grey laminate flooring is their hardiness and durability.
Vinyl flooring – Resilient flooring is artificial composite flooring using plastics, PVC, rubber, linoleum and the latest vinyl. Vinyl flooring is a new type of synthetic resilient flooring. Due to excessive chemical content, capable of causing harm to the environment and health, some of the plastic and PVC floors are beginning to lose popularity, hence giving birth to the safe, healthy and eco-friendly technology of resilient flooring with vinyl flooring. It is healthy, easier to maintain and equally comfortable to walk on.
Floor tiles – Floor tiles are a very popular flooring option today. One of the main benefits associated with them is the ease of maintenance. Wood flooring is easily damaged by damping, especially in the bathroom and kitchen environment and also wood is less durable. Tiles are generally quieter, carrying less sound from room to room.
Engineered flooring – It is contemporary flooring imitating the traditional hardwood floor planks. The ability to use engineered wood flooring where conventional hardwood cannot be used, like damp and floors exposed to radiant heat make it an advantageous flooring option. Unlike them which warp or cup under moisture and heat, it does not shrink or enlarge under humidity changes.
