Often, building or remodeling a home can feel overwhelming due to the vast number of decisions you have to make. Flooring replacement doesn’t have to be a difficult choice – just an informed one. Make sure you understand the advantages and disadvantages of popular flooring types so that you can make the best decision for your home.
There are numerous styles and adaptations for different types of flooring, but we have compiled the four most popular choices of homeowners, as well as considerations you need to take for each one.
Advantages: Carpet is softer, warmer, and more comfortable than other floorings. It is also relatively inexpensive to replace (as opposed to hardwood).
Disadvantages: Carpet can get dirty and wear out quickly if not maintained. Additionally, carpet can harbor allergens and pollutants deep inside the fibers, especially if the home contains pets. This can reduce indoor air quality and cause health problems for individuals with respiratory issues.
Advantages: Well-cared-for hardwood floors are durable and elegant looking. They are versatile for styling and easy to keep clean with a broom and dustpan.
Disadvantages: Hardwood is more expensive and requires maintenance. Moisture will ruin hardwood if not tended to immediately. Hardwood also needs to be refinished occasionally.
