When it comes to flooring, there are a lot of options to choose from. It can be hard to decide what type of flooring is best for your Cincinnati custom home. Here are a few things to consider when choosing the best type of flooring for your home:
The climate you live in: If you live in a climate with high humidity, you'll want to avoid flooring that can warp or swell in moist conditions. Assuming you live in the Greater Cincinnati area, this may not be as much of a concern considering our relatively mild climate.
The amount of traffic in your home: If you have a lot of foot traffic, you'll want to choose a flooring that can stand up to wear and tear.
Your personal style: What type of flooring do you like the look of? Do you want something that is low-maintenance or easy to clean?
Some of the best types of flooring for a custom home include hardwood, engineered wood, tile, carpet and yes, even laminate, which has come a long way from the product you remember in your grandmother's laundry room. Each of these materials has its own benefits and can be used to create a unique look in your home.
Benefits Of Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood floors are beautiful, classic and timeless. They add great value to your custom home and are easy to care for. If you choose hardwood floors, be sure to select a species that is durable and resistant to scratches and dents. However, hardwood floors can be refinished if they get scratched or damaged over time.
Engineered Wood Flooring For The Win
Engineered wood flooring is a great alternative to hardwood floors. It’s more affordable and easier to install, and it’s still beautiful and durable with countless options in color and style.
Where To Use Tile Flooring In Your Custom Home
Tile floors are also very durable and easy to care for. They are a good choice for high traffic areas and areas that get wet, like bathrooms and kitchens. Tile floors come in a variety of styles and colors to match any decor.
Is Carpet A Good Fit For Your Cincinnati Custom Home?
Carpet is a cozy and comfortable flooring option. It is available in a wide range of colors and styles to complement any taste. Carpet is not as durable as hardwood or tile and will need to be replaced more often.
Far From Your Grandmother's Laminate Flooring
Laminate floors are a great option if you want the look of hardwood floors without the price tag. Laminate flooring is easy to care for, resistant to scratches and stains, and some products can also be waterproof.
