Flooring – Tile, Wood Or Carpet, Which is right for You?

The latest trends ALWAYS keep us yearning. When it comes to flooring needs the latest is GREEN technology like the bamboo wood flooring, or the carpets giving off less off gases. BUT what really works for you and your family?  Ceramic tile is nice and comes in an array of colors, sizes and textures. Natural stone leaves a regal feel throughout the home, and wood gives that timeless safisticated look.

The real question is WHAT  works for YOU and your lifestyle? I have heard alot of sad stories regarding the new flooring that was the end all. The beautiful Cherry wood flooring for $35 ,000 – only to find out every time the dog ran across the floor he left large gouges in the floor. Or the travertine flooring for $20, 000  – to find out to have the look they wanted cost approximately $3,000 on a regular basis to keep up the look they wanted.  I think we all love the look the designers create but let’s face it – we all have to live in it. Most of the time maintenance and cleaning don’t come into question until after the fact. Before installing a new flooring ASK about cleaning and durability, what about kids and pets? the right time is prior to the installation. When considering changing the flooring in your home, talk to some professionals about the pros and cons. Good luck with your purchases, and most of all your cleaning.
