Making a decision is more difficult because of all the choices of flooring materials today. To choose the right flooring, there are a few points to consider if you're planning to redo the floors in your home.
Each area gets a certain amount of traffic, and this is the first point you should look at. For instance, rooms such as the kitchen and the areas leading out into the garden are the ones with high traffic areas. You will want a hardwearing, durable floor in those areas so you don't have to replace it in a short period of time.
Another factor in choosing the right type of flooring is the particular room. Subject to specific stain are kitchens and bathrooms since it's damp, has hot and cold temperatures, and there are spills in the kitchen. Wooden flooring is not going to last in these areas, nor will any material that stains easily.
Many bedrooms have carpets installed because comfort should be considered as well. Carpets are still a popular choice for living areas and bedrooms because they're less noisy, softer on the feet, and comfortable for children to play on. Today's carpets are specially treated to reduce staining, so you can install them in the children's bedrooms without too much concern in that area.
Many people install tiles or laminate flooring and then use rugs to provide comfort and softness underfoot. In order to seal tiles, some would require special treatment and they can be slippery. If you have small children, try not to put slippery tiles in the entrance from the garden and swimming pool or the passage outside the bathroom.
Of course your existing decor will influence your choice too, as you may only want to replace the flooring, not redesign the entire house. Becoming increasingly popular is laminate flooring, not least because it's effect is similar to genuine wood flooring and it's cheaper. Available in many different 'types of wood', laminate flooring is quite easy to install, and more hardwearing than you might think. Cement floors are a modern alternative for creating different effects because they can be stained or painted, while bamboo flooring is gaining popularity as well.
Your choice of flooring will be determined by what is the most practical for the area you want to redecorate, your budget, and personal preference. Consider installing underfloor heating if you don't already have it while replacing the existing flooring. It will add to your initial cost, but the additional comfort will more than make it up for it.
