Floor Coverings: Which is Best for You?

Flooring Covering choices include carpet, ceramic tile, brick, slate, sheet vinyl, and wood. While each of these materials can produce beautiful floors, consideration should be given to factors such as durability, comfort, installation, maintenance, and repair costs for various floors.

Carpet: Adds comfort and warmth to rooms. Best suited for low traffic areas. Carpet helps cut down on noise by absorbing sound.

Ceramic Tile: Ideal for damp and high traffic areas including kitchens and mud rooms where durability is a must.

Laminate: A popular choice for busy areas in your house. Laminate floors combine a tough, durable finish with realistic natural looking designs.

Vinyl floor covering: Durable and low cost but lacking the elegance of ceramic tile. Ideal for kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms.

Hardwood Floors: Available as engineered flooring; solid floors which are cut from solid pieces of wood, and parquet flooring which is normally a 12"x 12" square consisting of narrow strips of wood.
