To help you find the right floor for your home we have a listed below the four types of floors that are most often confused when compared against each other by consumers. Understanding Your Options Vinyl Floors Hardwood Floors Laminate Floors You'll find that vinyl floors offer you the broadest range of style, color, and performance options that are sure to fit your needs and budget. You should also beware of the more expensive the vinyl floor the more sophisticated styling becomes, the better damage resistance and appearance retention are, and the stronger warranties become. You can find a vinyl floor for almost any decor, and is the best option in places where moisture and spills are a fact of life, such as in a kitchen or bathroom. It's hard to beat the warmth and charm of a real hardwood floor. Todays prefinished hardwood floors have a much more durable, and easy maintenance finish. Many prefinished wood floors have some type of ultraviolet curing polyurethane finish, with many adding aluminium oxide particles which give exceptional durability to the finish layer. Whether you choose solid, engineered, or the longstrip hardwood floors these floors all can be touched up or refinished in case of an accident. Hardwood floors do add to the value of your home. Laminate flooring has the look of a real hardwood, or ceramic tile floor, with tremendous high performance qualities. The melamine surface of laminate flooring gets its incredible durability from aluminum oxide, which is almost as hard as diamonds, and provides remarkable wear and stain resistance. All laminate floors carry a warranty against staining, fading, and wearing through the finish layer. Some now have a moisture warranty also. Because these floors never need to be polished, or waxed they are ideal for active households. Ceramic Tile Floors Ceramic tile floor offers a distinctive look that many vinyl floors try to duplicate. They come in many sizes, shapes, guages, textures, and color tones. They are best installed over a cement base, or cement board, which can be secured to a sturdy subfloor. These floors are widely used in bathrooms, kitchens, and sunrooms. The glazed finish found on many residential tiles comes in different gloss levels and is quite easy to maintain.
