If you’re renovating your home, the new floors you choose will play a big role in your home’s style, function and comfort. Two popular choices among homeowners are carpet and vinyl plank flooring that mimics the look of real hardwood. Here is some information on flooring types to help you decide:
Carpet
If you vacuum regularly, you can easily rid your home of the allergens and dander that gets trapped in the fibers.
Remember that not all carpet brands are created equal. Low quality carpets can start to fall apart, look compressed and wear out very quickly. Flooring companies in Edmonton can help you choose a high-quality carpet that will best suit your needs and style preferences. For example, if you have an area with a lot of foot traffic, you might want loop carpeting or if you want a relaxed look that is soft and cozy in other areas, twist carpeting is a good choice.
Vinyl Plank
Vinyl is also a very durable material and is great for high traffic areas that might get a few spills, like the kitchen and bathroom. It’s easy to clean and maintain, too. Just sweep and wash the floors with an all-purpose cleaner as needed. Read more about why you should choose vinyl plank flooring.
Vinyl plank flooring is softer under your feet compared to tile or hardwood flooring, but if you want to add a little more comfort, consider an area rug. Not only will a stylish rug compliment your home’s design, it can also make your living spaces cozier.
