Flooring: Where to Begin?

Choosing new flooring is an exciting opportunity to refresh your home. A great place to start is by thinking about how you use your spaces, the colors and style you love, and the condition of your existing floors.

Your Spaces

High traffic areas, pets, allergies, entry and exiting with sand and dirt are points to consider. The good news is that today’s flooring options offer more flexibility than ever. Hard surface flooring are available in a wide variety of colors and styles, with many options that are scratch-resistant, waterproof, and designed for busy homes and businesses. If you’re thinking of carpeting, consider stain resistance, pile thickness, the room, and even patterns to create the best mood for each space – like a cozy family room or an active playroom.

It is very helpful to know the condition of the floor under your carpets, hardwood, or tiles. This is known as the “subfloor”. The subfloor’s condition is key to the successful installation of any flooring.

As You Plan Your Project

Ask yourself:

• Is the area damp or often exposed to water and to direct sunlight?
• Is the floor leveled or the plywood in good condition?
• What kind of padding would you like for a second-floor carpeting?
• How would you like your stairs to look?
• Do you have pets and which areas do they use the most in the house?
• Is there need for slip resistant floors?
• Will the new floor complement your overall décor?
• How will your flooring choice flow with the other flooring throughout your home?
