Hardwood
Hardwood Flooring is known for its timeless beauty and outstanding durability. This option can be sanded many times to extend its lifespan, making it a great long-term investment for your home, besides from the value that it adds to your property.
Pros: Aesthetics, durability, added value for your house.
Cons: Hardwood flooring can scratch easily, which can be an inconvenience. Water and moisture damage can happen easily as well, so you gotta be careful.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
LVT, or luxury vinyl tile, realistically mimics natural materials like stone, marble, travertine, or wood. It offers benefits such as lower cost, improved scratch resistance, and waterproof performance.
Pros: Low costs, highly resistant to liquids, which makes it excellent for kitchens and bathrooms, and it’s also easy to install.
Cons: LVT has drawbacks including potential slipperiness when wet, limited eco-friendliness, possible need for professional installation, and sensitivity to extreme temperatures.
Laminated
Laminate flooring is a synthetic material crafted to imitate the striking natural appearance of materials like wood or stone. It is meticulously formed by subjecting multiple layers to intense heat and pressure.
Pros: It is resistant to scratches and stains, often DIY-friendly, and requires minimal maintenance. As a generally budget-friendly option, it ends up being a more affordable choice.
Cons: For those looking to add character to their home, this flooring can lack the warmth of real hardwood, which can be a drawback for some people. May not last as long as hardwood or other floors.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile is a hard, non-porous material made from clay and other minerals that are fired in a kiln. It’s a popular choice for flooring due to its durability, versatility, and easy maintenance.
Pros: Ceramic tile comes in a variety of colors and patterns, making it a great option to be creative about. Easy to clean and maintain, and it’s also scratch-resistant.
