How to choose the right floor for you and your family

Choosing flooring is far more complicated than just finding the best-looking floor product.

There are other factors along with design such as, moisture control, durability, sustainability, ease of installation and price to name a few factors to consider before you make your final decision.

Maybe you decided it was time to freshen up your home with a new interior design project, or it could be that you have some office space that needs a subtle design touch for it to become a more productive work place.

If you get stuck going through this decision process, don’t worry. We’re here to help answer those tough questions, as Wood4Floors we have been in business for over thirty-five years now as experts in the floor industry.

If you’re about to buy a beautiful floor with professional installation then you’ll want to make sure that you see a return on your investment and that it adds value to your home. Plus, your floor must be easy to maintain and scratch resistant.

How you and your family live and use your home is the most significant factor in which flooring you choose. If your family has heavy traffic in particular areas, pets to deal with, and kids running around then you should consider resilient flooring, such as vinyl, laminated or man-made wood flooring.

For example, flooring that is in the hallway should have a “wow” factor, but at the same time be durable high footfall and the outdoor elements. Flooring in bedrooms, and kid’s rooms should be comfortable for bare feet.  Flooring in utility, laundry and bathrooms needs to be water resistant to avoid warping.

Follow these steps in order help you reach the flooring decision that is right for you and your needs.

  1. LookWhat style suits your taste and your decor? What do you need to keep in mind with the selection you are making?
  2.  Area
    What is the size and shape of the room that you need to fit? Is there plenty of natural light or is it dark?
  3. Needs
    What do you want to use the room for, do you need to take in account any particular activities
  4. Materials
    Do you have a preference for a natural look, stone or something contemporary that could be man-made?
  5. Colour
    Are there any colours that feature in the design of the room you want to integrate into the choice of flooring?
  6. Size
    Depending on the size of your room you can use different types of planks or tiles to trick the eye into thinking that spaces are larger or smaller.
  7. Durability
    Is the floor to be fitted in an area of high traffic or could there be a risk of food and drink spillage such as in a kitchen or dining room or the risk of water spillage in a bathroom?
