Which Floor is Right For You?
Flooring can be a tricky thing to decide on. Whether you just bought a new house for your property management business, or you’re moving into your new home and need to agree on a type of floor with your spouse. Whatever the reason, there are always some important things to keep in mind when deciding on flooring. Savannah GA has many options for anyone and everyone!
Before checking over this list, it’s best to keep in mind that everyone is different, and we can’t subjectively tell you what’s best for anyone! We can only speculate based on what each type of Flooring offers.
Attributes to consider when exploring option:
Comfortability
Flooring comfortability can be extremely hard to gauge per person, since comfort is based on different preference.
Durability
How long will any particular type of flooring last? The cost of replacing flooring of any sort can be a pain, so it’s best to make sure you’re getting your bang for your buck.
maintenance
No one wants to have to clean their floor every day, make sure your flooring, whatever type, matches your level of comfortable upkeep/maintenance.
Aesthetics
For those aspiring interior decorators, you’re encouraged to find something you’ll be happy to look at whenever you walk in your home.
Location
Some floors that may look good in the living-room, might not look good or function as well in the bathroom.
Different types of popular flooring Savannah GA has to offer
Carpeted Flooring
Particularly berber carpeting is beneficial in many of the attributes above; comfortable, incredibly durable, aesthetic appeal, and pretty tough when it comes to stains/dirt. Berber carpeting can be especially useful for those who just prefer carpeting, but are afraid if they get any it won’t last long.
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring may be the most popular option in America all-together. Oak in particular is often used, as it’s incredibly durable, and with a finish can usually avoid staining all-together (putting it one step ahead of carpeting). Additionally, unlike carpeting, hardwood can easily go in every room of your home, only needing the occasional sweep, to keep loose dust/grime.
Cork Flooring
Cork flooring has excellent thermal attributes accentuating comfortability. It’s lightweight, easily replaced, and easier on feet than solid hardwood flooring! Savannah, GA hasn’t been as accustomed to cork flooring until more recent years when the Winters have become more harsh.
Tile Flooring
Tile flooring is extremely durable and often impenetrable to long-lasting stains. This means the upkeep can be relatively easy, but sadly installation can be difficult and tile floors are particularly designed to be in areas dealing with a lot of water (kitchens, bathrooms, etc.).
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring can be a jack of all trades, as it’s lightweight, durable, and can emulate styles of other floors. Vinyl comes in many different textures and colors, and installation is even pretty easy! The downsides however, involve health risk. Vinyl flooring emits small amounts of volatile organic compounds, because they’re manufactured by polyvinyl chloride.
One final note. If you are unsure about what flooring you want OR if you have questions about installation, more pros and cons, or even just a professional opinion to bounce off of for flooring Savannah GA experts, Eckard’s Flooring will always be happy to answer your call!
