Not all flooring is the same. Between all the different choices, sometimes it can be hard to decide what flooring is right for you. Let’s take a look at some of the most common types of flooring installation in Cincinnati homes.
- LVP: LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is one of the most common types of flooring. These flooring planks are scratch resistant, thick and waterproof. LVP makes for a good choice in highly traveled rooms, especially in rooms that are likely to experience staining such as kitchens.
- Hardwood: One of the more expensive and aesthetic flooring options. Hardwood provides a beautiful floor finish that provides an old-world feel to any home. Although it is not as scratch or water resistant as LVP, it has an unbeatable antique look, is easy to clean and very durable.
- Laminate: A thinner and less waterproof option, laminate flooring is a good option for living rooms, halls, and dining rooms. You may want a more waterproof floor for your bathrooms and/or kitchens, but for the rest of your home laminate flooring can provide a stone-like look that is more budget-friendly. In addition, its scratch resistance is perfect for homes with pets and children.
- Tile: This is a common floor type, usually chosen for bathrooms and kitchens. Tile flooring provides a long lasting and durable floor option for homeowners that can also be customized to your style preferences. With a wide range of price, there is a tile option for everyone.
- Standard Vinyl: As one of the least expensive flooring options, vinyl flooring is a thinner and more affordable flooring solution than LVP. Because it is waterproof it is often a good option for most rooms in a home. Standard vinyl flooring will have a shorter lifespan than LVP as well but comes at a cheaper average price.
The 3 factors to keep in mind when choosing your floor are budget, purpose, and appearance. For example, if you’re a homeowner looking for a rustic, dog friendly floor for your living room or a modern-looking low maintenance floor for your kitchen. There’s a floor for everyone, and whichever floor all three of these will be the right option for you and your home!
