Types Of Flooring
There are many materials that can be made into beautiful flooring. They include wood, ceramic tile, carpet, laminates, sheet vinyl, cork, and vinyl tile. Each material has advantages and disadvantages to consider. Each material comes in different grades, patterns, and colors. This makes it so there are literally thousands of floors to choose from.
Carpet
Carpet and area rugs provide a softer, warmer surface that insulates against cold. Carpet comes in both natural and synthetic fibers. Carpets also come in many construction types, patterns, and colors. Carpet installation is faster than many materials because it comes in twelve-foot widths and any length. It is installed over padding by professional carpet installers.
Wood Flooring
Wood flooring is a hard floor that is very durable, yet warmer in feeling and touch than stone or ceramic floor tiles. Wood flooring is more durable than carpet. Solid wood floors can be refinished several times for new looks. There are many wood species and stains to choose from. Wood color choices are more limited than carpet color choices. Wood is installed board by board so installation takes a certain amount of time.
Laminates
Laminate flooring also comes as boards but is a manufactured product with a surface finish that mimics wood or other materials. It is a less expensive way to get the wood floor look. Laminate floors are manufactured with a click together system that makes it easier for homeowners to self-install.
Ceramics
Ceramic Floor Tiles in Roslyn come in many shapes and sizes. They also come in many colors. Ceramic flooring is installed with thin set or ceramic adhesive and then the floor is grouted to fill in the spaces between tiles. This is a flooring that is best installed by professional tile setters. It is a hard flooring that is very durable and also water resistant.
