Here’s a brief run down of a few pros and cons of these common flooring products.
Ceramic tile flooring is no doubt beautiful and durable. The materials used are clay, sand and water. These strong elements are molded into tile shapes and baked in a kiln at high temperatures. Most homeowners install ceramic tiles in their kitchens, bathrooms, and the entryways where the most traffic is received. The pros of ceramic tile is the durability and the variety of designs and color options. If you have children and pets, ceramic tiles do not scratch easily or show many signs of wear and tear. Not to mention, ceramic tiles are incredibly easy to clean. The cons of ceramic tile is they tend to be slippery when wet or when wearing socks. This can be a problem for children and elderly, so they must be careful. Another setback of having tile flooring is the grout can tend to get dirty and requires cleaning, but that won't be much of a problem for you when you can hire a Greensboro handyman for grout cleaning services so you won't have to bend down for hours brushing away. Concrete flooring is becoming more common and looks great for the kitchen and the living room. The pros of having concrete flooring installation is knowing you have a highly durable material. It would be difficult to scratch up and it does not burn at all in case a house fire broke out making your home a little more fire-protected. So there’s some peace of mind. Concrete flooring is smooth and flat, so it’s easy to maintain clean. Another great thing about concrete is its insulation properties make it convenient and cost effective by reducing heating and cooling costs, saving you money in the long run. The cons of having concrete flooring is the cost to repair your floors incase of damage. Unlike tile, you cannot just remove a section and put in a new one. Because concrete is so hard, it can making standing for long periods of time quite uncomfortable. Sound doesn’t absorb so well into concrete, so the rooms with concrete flooring tend to get loud. Vinyl flooring- incredibly affordable flooring option offers a lot of benefits. The pros of having vinyl flooring installation is of course the affordability but its water resistant properties that will last you many years. Vinyl flooring sheets are easy to manufacture so they are certainly versatile. Vinyl flooring installation is cheap and finding sheets that resemble the appearance of tile and hardwood floors are easy to find. For an even more realistic look of hardwood floors and affordability, look into luxury vinyl plank flooring in Greensboro NC. The cons with vinyl flooring are the chemicals used in making vinyl floors. Like painting, vinyl flooring can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be harmful to our lungs and irritate the eyes. Vinyl flooring can also be easily susceptible to tears and repairing is difficult because you would have to replace the entire sheet of vinyl flooring instead of just the damaged section. It also does not add much value to your home when you install vinyl flooring. Laminate flooring is many homeowners choice for flooring that resembles wood. The advanced photographic process allows for a high resolution image to resemble realistic designs of hardwood floors. Other pros of laminate flooring are that it is low maintenance, inexpensive and moisture resistant. Some drawbacks of laminate flooring. Is that even though it maybe be water resistant, it is not waterproof. It should not be installed in the laundry room or in rooms where you have your sump pumps or drains. Similar to vinyl flooring, some materials used to make laminate flooring can not degrade in landfills. Carpet flooring is one of homeowners favorite flooring types. The pros of carpet installation out way the cons for most homeowners. It is an inexpensive flooring option that is warm and soft for our feet perfect for walking barefoot in the winter time and all year. Carpet acts as a good sound insulator so you don’t have to worry about loud rooms. Incredibly versatile and popular option makes carpet attractive to homeowners who want an eco-friendly option. The cons of carpet, like vinyl flooring, carpet does not bring much value to your home. It also tends to hold on to dirt and spills can leave your carpets stained. You might find yourself regularly vacuuming and getting your carpets professionally cleaned. Linoleum flooring is popular today for its durability and eco- friendliness. It either comes in in sheets you can glue down or tiles you can snap in together. All the materials used to make linoleum flooring sheets are natural and renewable; linseed oil, cork powder, pine resins, and wood flour, all which can biodegrade in landfills. Linoleum flooring is ideal for homeowners who want their owns to be more environmentally friendly. Another pro of linoleum flooring is that it will stay looking new because of the pigment used to help hide scratches. Cleaning your linoleum floors is simple, requiring only sweeping and mopping. The cons of linoleum flooring is that it is slightly vulnerable to furniture legs or any sharp objects that could penetrate the flooring material. It is not recommended to install linoleum flooring in the bathrooms or laundry rooms, because it is not waterproof. You can still mop over it, but you should not let water sit for long periods of time. Another con of linoleum flooring is a natural discoloration that occurs called “ambering” This happens when the floors are exposed to long periods of sunlight. Because of this natural occurrence, this would not be considered a manufacturer defect so it is not covered in the warranty. |
