Flooring Styles
Whether you are building a home, renovating your residence or updating your commercial space – it is important to choice the correct flooring to fit your needs. Learn about the styles of flooring: hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile and carpet.
What kind of flooring are available?
Before choosing a flooring, first learn about the types of flooring available. Hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile and carpet all come in many colors and styles. In order to select the best product for your flooring needs, first learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the different types of flooring.
Things to consider are budget, color (light versus dark), durability, installation, and room use when selecting the best product.
Hardwood
Hardwood comes in many varieties such as oak, maple, and cherry. Hardwood offers longevity when properly maintained. Hardwood may require an initial investment, But its enduring beauty and ability to add value to a home make it a worthwhile investment.
Laminate
Laminate is a more budget-friendly flooring than hardwood that comes with a wide variety of designs and patterns. Laminate is also durable and resistant to scratches, stains and fading. This type of flooring is suitable for households with children, pets and high traffic areas. Overall for owners, this is a practical and cost effective option.
Vinyl
Vinyl is a practical choice with a realistic appearance and water-resistant features. This style of flooring comes in planks and tiles and is durable and suitable for high-traffic areas. With its durability and water resistance properties this makes it ideal for high traffic areas, kitchens and bathrooms. Vinyl comes in glue-down, click-lock, or peel-and-stick applications. This is a stylish but practical flooring option.
Tile
Tile floors, including carpet tiles offer flexibility in patterns and design. Carpet tiles bring a soft and cozy feel to living spaces and are easy to install. If an area is damaged, the carpet tile can be removed and replaced.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) replicates the appearance of natural materials like stone or ceramic but is more durable and comfortable. LVT tiles are resistant to moisture and are a more cost-effective option. Like the carpet tiles, if a tile is damaged it can be removed and replaced.
Carpet
Carpet brings comfort and warmth to the home or business. Carpet comes in nylon, polyester, and wool. This choice of flooring provides insulation and helps maintain a comfortable temperature while minimizing noise levels. Depending on the level of traffic, carpet requires regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning. At Color Your World, we do offer professional cleaning to keep your carpet looking new.
