Ceramic Tile for Durability

Ceramic tile is very durable, making it an ideal kitchen flooring choice for just about anyone. Families with children and pets will appreciate it even more because it’s stain and scratch resistant.

Ceramic Tile for Easy Maintenance

Even though ceramic tile flooring is durable, it does call for some maintenance to keep your new floors looking good for as long as possible. You can steam mop your floors or mop them the old-fashioned way with vinegar and water or a gentle and non-abrasive cleaner that won’t leave residue on the floor.

Carpet: Majority rules that carpet is not the way to go if you are an allergy sufferer. If you insist on having carpet in your home, make sure it is low allergen. Carpet tends to be more affordable than other flooring but it can affect your allergies.

Tile: Tile floors are popular because they are durable and low maintenance. But it can be a jolt in the morning to step onto a cold tile floor. Use rugs by your bed, in your bathroom, the kitchen and anywhere else you want to put some warmth between your feet and the floor – at least rugs can be washed if they build-up with dust.

Hardwood: Hardwood is another type of low-allergen flooring but it tends to be more expensive than carpet and tile. If you have the home remodeling budget to afford it, go for it. If not, carpet and tile are more affordable.

Most people think heated flooring is limited to tile, but you can also heat carpet, laminate and wood floors as well. The three types of radiant floor heat include:

1.    Air carries the heat in radiant air floors.
2.    Electric cables installed under the floor conduct the heat for electric radiant floors.
3.    Hot water is pumped through cables under the floor to provide hear for hydronic radiant floors.

One great advantage of radiant floor heating systems is the elimination of those dust bunnies that accumulate from forced air heating systems. Radiant heat works from the ground up and therefore stirs up less dust and allergens.

Engineered wood is usually recommended for the flooring of basements where water is likely to trickle down.

You can use strong wood like oak in the layers beneath to make it sturdy and durable. Engineered wood flooring is available in strips and planks.
