Wood Floors
Wood floors are the choice of thousands of homeowners because of the durability and traditional feel. Solid wood floors will last for decades with the right maintenance. But, not everyone who wants the look of wood can afford it. Solid wood is not always possible in home remodels. So the flooring industry has come up with some additional choices. Engineered prefinished wood floors are thinner than solid wood but are still real wood on the surface. Laminate wood floors are thinner yet and have a photographic wood finish with strong vinyl or acrylic wear layers. Vinyl planks can be made to look like real wood.
Carpet
Since wood floors are hard and can be cold in the winter, homeowners may choose carpet for its warmth and soft comfort. There are literally thousands of carpet choices at many different price levels. If the homeowner wants to add color and pattern to the home’s floors, carpet is a good choice. Carpet can also be the most economical floor choice and is easily changeable. Carpet is generally installed over padding though it can be found in carpet tiles and glue down varieties. There is Fast Carpet Installation.
Vinyl Plank Floors and Stone or Tile Floors.
For those areas that need water resistant or extra durable floors, homeowners can choose tile, stone, or vinyl floors. Vinyl floors come in rolls or planks and are generally glued down. Granite, stone, and tile floors are put down with mastic with spaces between tiles. These spaces are then filled with grout. All of these floors are very durable and waterproof when installed correctly.
