What are the benefits of wooden flooring?

Thanks to the durability, warmth, natural feel and charm, wood (or timber)

continues to be the flooring of choice for many homeowners. A beautiful wooden floor gives a classic and timeless finish. Made to last a lifetime, wooden floors are highly sought after and add value to your home.

When should I choose laminate flooring?

Laminate flooring is one of the most popular flooring choices. Laminate offers you the incredibly beautiful finish of real timber floors at a fraction of the price. It is scratch resistant, hygienic, easy to clean and very low maintenance. It’s a look you’ll love for a lifetime.

The newest innovation in hard flooring – rigid

Rigid (also known as hybrid) is the latest innovation in floating flooring.

Combining the best attributes of both laminate and vinyl, rigid can be installed throughout the entire home, including bathrooms and laundry areas because it is 100% waterproof.

How can you find the perfect flooring products for your home?

As well as the type of floor, you also need to give some consideration to other questions. Here are some of the most important:

Plank, sheet or tile?

This is a question of aesthetics; do you want to see seems or grout lines.

How do you clean it?

There is no such thing as a maintenance-free floor. Carpet requires vacuuming and periodic professional cleaning. Wood floors need dusting, waxing, and occasional refinishing. Even hard-wearing ceramic tiles must be grout-sealed and mopped.

How does it feel?

Make sure you know how your flooring choice feels underfoot. Tiles are great for wet areas like bathrooms, but they are hard and cold underfoot, this isn’t generally the desired underfoot feeling you want in your bedroom or lounge.

How does it sound?

Hard floors such as laminate, wood, timber, vinyl, rigid or tiles are extremely practical, but they are less sound-absorbing than carpet, so if your house is full of active people, there will be more noise if you choose hard flooring. This can be counteracted by area rugs though. Not only do rugs look great and define spaces a but they also add comfort, warmth and sound insulation. Whatever your flooring choice, it is wise to study and feel all the different flooring options before you make a decision.
