A real estate property has many features – to start with. Each of those features come up with unique characteristics and aesthetics that collectively culminate into the overall look and feel of the property, which in turn dictate its value in the market – both visual and commercial. Flooring is one such feature. In fact, it is one of the most important features that determine the look and feel of the property. Yes, it has everything to do with the interiors, but please show us a real estate property that carries a high value tag with it, with poor flooring! The floors have to be of top notch, if the property is to get itself included in the bracket of elites. Thus, the flooring has to be of top notch variety and needs to gel with the look and feel of the interiors and theme thereof. So it is highly important that you hire the best flooring specialist in London, or wherever you are, with a sound knowledge of flooring, to add that x-factor to your property. Here are 8 different flooring options to consider.
Hardwood Flooring
This is a chunk of milled wood, containing solid, concentrated wood all throughout. Various types of hardwood varieties include cherry, maple, walnut, oak. It’s highly versatile and its top quality makes it an extremely desirable and popular flooring option for households today. It augments the aesthetic value of home, and can be refurbished multiple times. It’s strong and durable.
Engineered Wood Flooring
This form of wood flooring offers the authentic look and feel of real wood. It is more affordable than real wood, and its floor comes with a thin layer of hardwood, bonded over a high quality and long durable plywood substrate. In fact, it is as durable as a solid hardwood flooring and lasts really long when properly taken care of by London flooring services. It comes with a very high resistance to moisture and water – more than real wood.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring consists of particleboard wood base, with the top layer consisting of wood or tile photos, followed by a clear plastic protective layer beneath. This is DIY friendly flooring and is available in various colour options and textures. It is pretty inexpensive compared to wood. It’s scratch proof and extremely easy to clean.
Vinyl Flooring
It is a water resistant flooring option that is not affected even if water stays on it for long. It is made of plastic and you can choose from the sheet, plank and tile variants. Besides being water-resistant, it is also fade-resistant, and is an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, basements and laundries.
Tiled Flooring
Tile flooring is another very popular and justifiable choice of flooring for high moisture areas like bathroom, kitchens, laundries and basements. Ceramic or porcelain are the most common variants of tiles. Tiles are water resistant and extremely durable, and are available in different colours, textures, patterns and styles.
Stone Flooring
This is another favourite form of flooring for the flooring fitters in London, simply because natural stones, like granite, travertine, sandstone, marble are the best flooring choice for indoor as well as outdoor spaces. Stone flooring is also waterproof and can be extremely durable.
Linoleum Flooring:
This is another extremely durable as well as eco friendly flooring option, which is made from cork and linseed oil. It is a pretty affordable and extremely easy-to-install flooring option, which comes as a sheet with a variety of colour, textures and patterns. It has a high resilience quotient and can last for long when it is property cared for and cleaned.
Carpet Flooring
Last but not the least, this is the other most popular option amongst the London flooring contractors, more so when it comes to serving homes, particularly bedrooms. It comes in a variety of shades, textures and materials. Thanks to the advent of new technologies, carpets these days are stain resistant and are extremely long lasting when properly cared for.
