Cleaning is always a concern when considering a new floor, but don’t worry, there are plenty of flooring solutions that can help make your life a little bit easier. Many of us think that we can’t have both practicality and good looks, but these days, flooring shops can provide you with both, giving you the best flooring for families. You can find flooring that is both beautiful and functional, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Every type of flooring has its benefits, and whether it is durability, comfort, cleaning or something else that is at the top of your priorities, there is the perfect floor for you.

When you lead a busy life, traipsing round flooring shops is not always possible. So, we have developed this blog to help you decide on the perfect floor for your home by highlighting the best flooring for families.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is often considered to be relatively unfashionable and not always the most durable, but this is not the case. It can be one of the best flooring for families. Laminate flooring may originally struggle if regularly exposed to moisture or sudden changes in temperature. However, with modern technology, laminate flooring has come a long way. Waterproof laminate is now particularly common in most flooring shops and has become far more durable than it was in recent times. Its new and improved durability, combined with its easiness to clean, makes it a suitable flooring type that will last for years.

Additionally, laminate is highly customisable. It comes with a wide range of features, designs and colours, lending itself to be incorporated into any room of your home. Laminate can be perfect for a busy family household as it provides both comfort and durability, making your life far easier.

Laminate can also be used in conjunction with underfloor heating. This makes it perfect for rooms such as kitchens as it encourages families to spend time in rooms together, without feeling too cold. This is where laminate can contest carpet in terms of comfort as it can bring warmth as well as style and durability, making it a popular flooring type for many families.

 

Luxury Vinyl Tiles

Luxury Vinyl Tiling (LVT) is becoming an increasingly popular flooring for families, due to the flooring’s ability to withstand busy family homes.

The flooring is made of vinyl material which makes it highly tear resistant and extremely durable. This makes it perfect for busy households because they can withstand the wear and tear of energetic children.

The stark difference between LVT and traditional vinyl, is its appearance. LVT boasts a more stylish appearance to traditional vinyl and can be incorporated in any room of the house. Wood effect floor tiles can really bring some authenticity into your home, and can be a great way to spruce up a room. LVT is an alternative option to hardwood flooring, however you can still incorporate the stunning look that wood floor brings. LVT can mimic the appearance of hardwood flooring, however it is far easier to care for. It is far easier to clean and therefore maintain its beautiful appearance. Additionally, as it is waterproof, you do not need to worry about your floor absorbing water like wood might.

In a busy household, LVT provides a softer surface underfoot. This makes it a great flooring for families with children as it reduces the risk of injury when they are running around. Furthermore, LVT has anti-slip properties and reduces the likelihood of children falling and hurting themselves. LVT is the perfect combination of style and durability. It is an affordable alternative to hardwood, but provides the durability of laminate flooring. Many flooring shops rave about LVT, and we are no different.

 

Wood Flooring

A wood floor is a popular choice for homes because of its natural beauty and durability. Wood flooring is available in a variety of styles and colours. So, you can find the perfect flooring to match your home.

Although wood flooring looks fabulous, it’s not necessarily the best option for a busy family home. Wood flooring can be difficult to clean and can become scratched or stained easily. If you are looking for flooring that is durable and easy to clean, consider vinyl flooring or laminate flooring. It is not always the best option for dealing with spills and water, this can damage the floor over time. However, as you pay for luxury, it is obviously durable to an extent and looks amazing. Wood flooring does last longer and needs little maintenance early in its life, but you do need to be aware of ways in which it could be damaged.

The main advantage of wood flooring is its appearance. The rustic appearance is particularly popular at the moment, and this will only continue. Wood will retain its great appearance for a long time, and bring style to any room in your home. All flooring shops will advertise their wood flooring as it does come with a price, but it is certainly worth the investment.

 

Carpet Flooring

A carpet is a great flooring option for busy family homes. Carpet is undoubtedly comfortable underfoot, making it great for children to play on and reduces the likelihood of injury. Additionally, carpet brings warmth and comfort to rooms, particularly in living rooms and bedrooms. The wide array of colours allow you to incorporate carpet into any style you like. You can make a room feel large and cool with lighter coloured carpets, but also bring a cosy and warm vibe with darker colours. Additionally, carpets can be layered with rugs and furniture to really bring a room together.

Many families will worry about the durability of carpet and how easy it is to clean. Obviously, you’re going to spill on the floor. Dropping food and drink on a cream carpet can be a nightmare. However, certain materials are easier to clean than others. To find out more, feel free to contact our team!

Additionally, carpets can be more durable than expected. Certain materials such as wool and cotton will last for years if they are cared for properly. This allows you to enjoy your room without having to worry about too many bald or worn patches.

Carpet is the hardest floor type to clean of all discussed here, but it certainly creates comfort like no other. Comfort comes at a price, and carpet could be the perfect floor for your home.
