Tips And Tricks For A Better Floor

By Alix Montoya

Are you getting too overwhelmed with all the flooring options found in the market today? Are you having a hard time making your mind up on which floor to go with? While it's great to ask professionals for help, here are a few popular choices that you can consider to save you all the trouble.

Carpeting comes in many different kinds like wool, nylon and pile. I recommend asking a professional interior designer if you're thinking about which carpet to choose. For places that get a lot of foot traffic, you can go with durable wool. Berber would be great for family rooms. Price ranges between $15 and $30 per yard.

If you're looking for sleek designer looks, ceramic tiles are for you. The options for these are also endless. You can have it in all possible sizes and colors. The price for installation are around $8 to $15 per square foot.

Polished concrete is definitely the best one. It gives you a modern look that fits any room it's in. It's as durable as marble but not nearly as expensive. If you think it's too cold, contractors can easily have heating tubes put beneath to keep it warm when it's cold outside.

So whatever material you go with, all you have to consider is know what you really want. It's best to just go with the existing overall look of your house's architecture. Just weigh around functionality, style and costs and you'll have a beautiful new floor in no time.
