When thinking about a home improvement, most people tend to overlook flooring, as it’s not the most obvious aspect of a home’s interior. However, flooring is an easy way to breathe new life into a home’s appearance. It’s also a great way to increase property value without breaking the bank.
Below are some simple and cost-effective ways to update a home’s aging surroundings through a floor upgrade.
Installation of a floating floor
A wooden floor is a great way to create a feeling of warmth and comfort. One of the most comfortable ways to get a new wooden floor is by installing a floating floor. This type of flooring differs from conventional flooring in that the strips of wood are glued or slotted together and not nailed down. Floating floors pair well with all types of flooring: concrete, sheet vinyl, ceramic tile, and plywood.
Installing Engineered Wood Flooring
Lately, thin sheets of engineered wood are glued together similar to installing plywood. They are durable, easy to install, fast, and come with a factory-applied finish.
paint for floors
When the budget is limited, restoring the floor of an old house is not entirely feasible. For such situations, painting the floor is a great way to create a whole new look. You need to make sure that your chosen floor paint is of good quality, durable, and can last longer with negligible maintenance with just a few coats of paint.
a cork floor
A cork floor provides much-needed cushioning and warmth to your feet with every step during the colder months. It is durable, resistant, natural, earthy and attractive to the eye. It provides a pleasant feeling of welcome to the interiors.
Compared to traditional wooden floors, cork is much easier to install. Cork flooring is available as engineered panels that can be joined together and do not require the use of glue or nails.
vinyl tile floor
Vinyl tile was the popular choice for flooring before the advent of durable laminate flooring and plastic laminate planks. These vinyl tiles were originally made as an alternative to linoleum. Due to the variety of color, texture, and pattern options, the convenience of cleaning, and the resistance to cracking, vinyl tile became a popular choice then and now.
