Types of flooring

     What are the basic differences between the individual types of flooring? We have prepared a list of the various types of floor coverings currently offered in Slovakia. Thanks to this article you can get an overview of the individual types of flooring, and we also believe it will help make choosing and deciding easier for you.

Carpet

     Carpet stretched wall to wall in a room is currently losing popularity, but there are rooms where, thanks to its positive properties and despite its imperfections, it is wonderfully suited. The advantage of carpet is that it feels warm. The disadvantages are its susceptibility to damage and spills and the associated difficult cleaning. It can also trap dust, odours and dirt, which can cause problems for allergy sufferers. It is used mainly in bedrooms and children’s rooms.

Tiles

     Another flooring option is tiles. Tiles are currently made in an enormous variety of patterns, styles and variations. Tiles are not a good heat insulator, but they are, for example, an excellent fit for underfloor heating. Installing them is relatively demanding and requires a certain amount of practice and manual skill. They are used mainly in rooms with higher humidity – bathrooms, toilets, pantries – and also in rooms that are demanding to clean – kitchens.

Laminate flooring

     With their diversity, laminate floors can imitate marble, ceramic or, most often, wooden floors. Their price is usually the most affordable, both for the floor itself and for the installation that goes with it. Their installation is quick and relatively simple.

Wooden flooring

     Many people prefer wooden floors mainly because they look beautiful, are comfortable and do not lose value. A wooden floor is something of an investment if you plan to sell a renovated flat or house in future, because it can only raise its price on sale. The feel of natural wood has a calming effect on people, and the variations of these floor coverings likewise know no bounds. From classic rustic patterns with a pronounced wood grain to modern finishes. A drawback of wooden floors may be the seemingly higher price, but in the long run it is absolutely negligible. These floors can be renovated, which extends their service life. You can find detailed information about wooden floors by clicking this link: WOODEN FLOORING

Marble flooring

     A marble floor is among the most prestigious flooring options. Its appearance is breathtaking, and an interesting fact is that it can absorb water. This is not an imperfection, however, quite the opposite. Marble as a material is translucent when cut into thin slabs and lets light through. That is why it is often used to clad bar counters, not only in restaurants. Bear in mind, however, that marble is a soft stone and is prone to scratches, cracks and other damage. So when choosing it, it is recommended to buy about 10% more marble slabs in case damaged pieces need to be replaced.

Vinyl flooring

     Vinyl flooring has many undeniable advantages – it is unlimited in pattern and style, because it can imitate wooden floors, ceramic tiles or stone, and it is quiet, water-resistant and affordable. You can find detailed information about vinyl flooring by clicking this link: VINYL FLOORING
