Around on a carpeted floor, there’s a possibility they could have an allergic reaction or pick up a nasty bug. Obviously, this isn’t what you want for your family home. Instead, we recommend installing laminate flooring or oak wood flooring because both these materials have smooth surfaces which prevent pollen and dirt from collecting on them. Oak flooring is also non-allergenic by comparison to other wood floorings (such as pine) and an incredibly beautiful raw material. This means it’s perfect for a stylish and sensible family home.
Low Maintenance
Running a household is like juggling as there’s a lot of chaos, multi-tasking and you’re bound to drop something. Therefore, it’s important to install flooring in your home which makes cleaning up quick and easy. Avoid porous materials which stain easily and instead choose flooring with a water-resistant coating or polyurethane finish. This means you can sweep or mop away messes without breaking your back as you scrub baby food out of the carpet. Also, flooring which is low maintenance will look more attractive because it isn’t covered in stains.
Hard-Wearing
Children are always going to be running around, pulling their chairs in and out, causing all kinds of trouble. You’re going to need a heavy-duty material for your flooring to withstand the high level of activity going on. Carpet isn’t ideal because it can quickly look worn down and the fabric can be torn. Sturdier materials like laminate, vinyl or reinforced wood flooring are better in these circumstances as they’re able to withstand areas of high foot traffic without losing their appearance. These materials are usually coated with substances like polyurethane which help them become more scratch-resistant, while also giving them an attractive glossy finish. The more durable your flooring, the better your house looks and the more functional it becomes.
By looking for these qualities when choosing a new floor for your family home, you can find something gorgeous and feel reassured that it’s practical, too.
