Understanding Flooring Options | DirectBuy Home Improvement Blog

When choosing the flooring for your home, consider your family?s needs in addition to your personal taste. Here are some key factors to keep in mind with hardwood, carpet or tile.

Hardwood

Ideal for living rooms and bedrooms, hardwood is not a good choice in kitchens, bathrooms or basements. An excellent choice for people with allergies, cleaning hardwood requires little more than a broom, dustpan and damp mop. It can be cold under your feet, and high heels, furniture legs and rubber-backed rugs can damage it.

Carpet

Soft and luxurious, carpet feels great under your feet. It?s warm, inviting and comfortable for lying down and relaxing. Cleaning it requires regular vacuuming, and you may want to invest in a steam cleaner for addressing spills or stains.

Tile

Ceramic tile is a fantastic choice for the home. Ideal for warmer environments, it might be cool underfoot in northern homes. The perfect choice for bathrooms, kitchens and other humid environments, it is an upscale choice for your home. Tiles can crack if something is dropped on them, so you might want to put small rugs in front of sinks and appliances.

Hardwood, carpet and tile are all excellent flooring options for your home. They each offer distinct advantages, depending on what you are looking for. Warm up tile and hardwood floors with area rugs, and prevent stains on carpet by treating it with a stain repellent.
