Things To Consider When Choosing Your Next Floor

 

Home flooring lays the foundations to build the essence of a home. This essential design detail can make or break the overall flow of the house and potentially serve as an eye sore. Not only can the style be outdated, but its functionality can also be lacking. 

 

To avoid any mishaps when choosing your floors, you'll want to consider the attributes mentioned in this article. With precise and informed decision-making, you'll be guaranteed flawless floors to last the ages. 

 

What to Consider

  1. Style

As your floor covers a large expanse of your house, the highly visible material needs to work in harmony with your other design choices. The color, cut, and placement produce endless possibilities for flooring options. Know your preferences beforehand; take sample pieces of the material home before deciding on which to install. 

 

  1. Functionality 

Consider what activities will take place on your future floor. For example, tile may be best if you are looking to redo the floor in the bathroom, where water often pools on the ground. However, if you will be standing for long hours on the floor, a more comfortable material such as wood may be the way to go. On the other hand, pets like dogs may scratch the softer surface. Considering the functionality of your flooring choice is paramount to ensuring the floor's longevity. 

 

  1. Maintenance 

Your choice may change depending on how involved you want to be in maintaining your floor's appearance. Material such as tile or vinyl flooring is easier to clean and maintain. Laminate flooring needs extra care since water-heavy mops would ruin the appearance. Solid wood floors, however, take the most amount of maintenance. The beauty is worth the work but may not be feasible for every homeowner. 

 

  1. Budget

New flooring doesn't need to break the bank. Look for affordable options and calculate what's possible for your budget. Additionally, don't forget to consider delivery costs and any other factor which could increase your overall bill. 

 

Hardwood needs deliberation of its own. Whether finished or unfinished, engineered or solid, and between various wood species. Luckily, Paramount Granite and Marble has informed employees to advise you on the best floor to fit your style, functionality, maintenance, and budget.

For several years quartz countertops were considered an alternative to granite, but over the past 10-years, the pendulum has swung in the other direction as quartz countertops have grown in popularity. One of the hardest materials in the world, more long-lasting and durable than granite, quartz is an undeniable choice for kitchen countertops.  How It’s Made  Quartz countertops are engineered stone countertops formed by combining 90-93% of ground stone waste from quarries, or recycled industrial waste, that can include fragments of granite, quartz, marble, natural stone, ceramic, or glass.

The look of the final product depends on how coarsely or finely the quartz is ground. Finely ground quartz creates a smoother finish, while coarsely ground quartz creates a more flecked appearance. Pros and Cons  So, what are the pros and cons of quartzite...
