The choice of flooring materials should achieve customer expectation and satisfaction. In return, a good quality flooring material should also satisfy your projected budget as well. For renovations, choosing the right flooring should also be taken into consideration as it should also handle wear and tear over the years.
A nice-looking and durable flooring can truly make your property look high-value. That is why it is important to also consult your local realtors to help you have an idea what home buyers would normally look for. In other words, a property for sale should match its price value – and able to achieve, if not exceed, buyers’ expectations.
Speaking of flooring, here are some of the popular hard flooring surfaces for building and renovation purposes:
- Vinyl and Linoleum
While these two are technically different flooring materials, vinyl and linoleum are considered resilient in terms of durability and resistance against moisture. It comes in sheet, plank, or tile forms, and available in different styles and colors. These are also ideal for high-traffic areas and moisture-prone areas such as the bathroom.
- Hardwood and Bamboo
Hardwood is considered one of the most attractive and in-demand flooring material among home buyers and renters. It is easy to install and maintain, cost-efficient, and can last for years. On the downside, these flooring types are not recommended to be installed in moisture-prone areas.
- Laminate
If you find hardwood quite expensive, laminate flooring is a great alternative for you. It does look like real wood (any type of wood for that matter), although it is actually made from wood pulp and resin. It is also easy to install, but it may require replacement because it cannot be refinished when it wears down or get damaged.
- Ceramic/Porcelain
When it comes to flooring, you can never go wrong with tiles. In fact, it can be installed in every kind of rooms including bathrooms and kitchens. It comes in different designs, colors, and sizes you can choose from. Plus, these flooring materials are durable and require minimal maintenance. However, floor tile grout should be regularly sealed to avoid unpleasant stains.
While ceramic tiles are practically affordable, installation may require a meticulous process, including choosing the right subfloor and is also labor-intensive. Tiles may also be prone to slip, so it is recommended to choose a non-slip tile to prevent such accidents.
The above items are some of the most common hard flooring surfaces types in building and renovation. These will help make your property look appealing to potential buyers and renters and ensure your property’s overall quality and safety.
