Many people can be misled that flooring is simply cosmetic and is only there to look good. Although new flooring can bring your interior decorating together and complete a look, , the right flooring can bring a lot of practical benefits to a home and it’s important that you find the right one for your needs.
Just like flooring, every room in your home has different uses. Whether that’s for cooking, for washing or for lounging. So the flooring in each room should differ depending on what the room is used for. For example; you rarely see carpet in a kitchen or bathroom as they are rooms where spillage is likely to happen so having a hard floor makes this easier to manage.
What benefits can the right flooring bring to my home?
Other than looking absolutely stunning?! Actually, there are a few interesting benefits the right flooring can bring, here’s our top three:
- Keep your home warm And no, we don’t just mean choosing a thick carpet to keep your feet warm. Wood flooring is also a great option too as it absorbs heat and allows it to circulate through your home. Choosing the right underlay is also important as it can be a great insulator; trapping the air in and keeping your home warm – saving you some money on heating bills. Pop into our Worthing or Storrington shop to speak to our flooring experts who will be able to advise you on what underlay to use under what flooring.
- Keep your home quiet
High quality insulation combined with carpet will also make your room much quieter for both you and those underneath you. This is a combination we recommend for bedrooms and flats with downstairs neighbours. - Looks better for longerIf the right flooring is chosen for each area of your home, you’ll find that it maintains its great look for longer. For example; making sure that the areas of your home with the most footfall have the most durable flooring can help a great deal. That’s not to say you have to have an industrial-strength hard floor in your hallways; certain carpets can be just as durable and easy to clean. Again, we recommend speaking to our flooring experts to make sure you find the right flooring for each area of your home.
- Make your home safer As stylish as flooring can be, sometimes they are slippery and can lead to falls. In recent months, stair runners have become increasingly popular as people can still enjoy hard flooring on their stairs while making them that bit more safe to climb. Textured hard flooring can also offer more grip so that it’s safer to walk on.
