Here’s what to consider when choosing flooring for your home

No home remodel is complete without new floors. However, even in situations where homeowners have decided on everything else, choosing flooring can be a challenge. After all, you have to weigh the aesthetics against the material’s durability and price. Do you want tile or laminate, or carpet and stained concrete? In this article, we’ll provide you with a list of important factors to consider when selecting flooring and how you can go about finding the right flooring for your home.

What should you take into consideration when choosing flooring for your home?

Here are the four main factors that homeowners should think about when deciding on a type and style of flooring for their home:

Location

Not every type of flooring is a fit for every room of your home. While tile and laminate flooring are durable and versatile, they might not be great for a children’s room that would benefit from the softness of carpet. For obvious reasons, carpet is a no-go in bathrooms and kitchens. You need to take the planned use of the room into consideration when choosing flooring for that space.

Here’s something to consider, however: you can always utilize rugs on top of tile or laminate floors to soften the surface, reduce the amount of echo in your home, or just to make a living room cozier for time with the family. In this way, tile and laminate are a bit more versatile throughout the home than carpet.

Durability

Changing your flooring is a big investment, both in terms of time and money. As a homeowner, you want floors that will last and continue to look good for many years to come. Durability is an important factor in your flooring decision because the quality of your floors can influence both the value of your home and how much enjoyment you get out of the space every single day.

Tile is obviously one of the most durable forms of flooring, but be sure to also take a look at laminate. Vinyl and laminate flooring have come a long way from their roots. Today, they offer all the look of wood with superior durability to real wood floors. They are water-resistant, making them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Laminate floors resist scratching or damage from dropped objects. If your home has children, they’re as close to an “accident-proof” type of flooring as you can get.

Aesthetics & Style

Of course, on top of all this, you want something that looks good and fits your own style sensibilities. The good news is that tile and laminate floors come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Tile is now available in everything from wood-style “planks” to traditional square tile. With laminate floors, you can choose almost any type of flooring you want, making it easy to match your already-installed kitchen cabinets, for instance.

If you’re thinking about remodeling your home and installing new flooring in the near future, our recommendation is that you stop by our conveniently located showroom here in Phoenix to start getting design ideas and to talk with our design team. We can help you find the right floors for your home.

Price

Floors can vary wildly in price. Stone floors are incredibly expensive. Tile and laminate floors generally start reasonable but can get pricey depending on where you shop and what flooring you’re looking at. Here are Superior Stone & Cabinet, we’re able to offer some of the best prices on flooring here in the Phoenix metro, thanks to our status as a direct importer and wholesaler.

Always ask about the price of tile or laminate before you fall in love with it: you don’t want to be set on a flooring option that’s out of your price range and budget.
