Types of Flooring

Engineered Hardwood

This is another option for you who want to install high quality flooring option on your condo. It is a good product that can be used in many condominiums or apartments without giving any troubles for the owners. It can be a great alternative for the real hardwood. This engineered hardwood can be cheaper than the real hardwood. It is reasonable because this option can be made by human.
Some people love using this engineered hardwood type because it is specially designed to withstand any pressures or moistures from the environment. Most engineered hardwood floors are constructed from several layers of handmade hardwood floor. As the result, this floor can be strong enough to be used as the flooring option in the apartment or condominium.
Laminate Flooring
It is a multi-layer synthetic wood flooring product. These layers are combined by using the lamination process. It is another good alternative for the wood flooring. The inner core layer of this flooring is usually made from fiber board and melamine resin materials. It is very popular among most homeowners. This option is easier to maintain and install than the regular traditional surface, such as hardwood flooring. Laminate flooring is also cheaper than the other flooring materials. Looking for a good flooring material that is durable, easy to maintain, and hygienic, you should choose this material.
It is very important to maintain this laminate floor clear from any impurities, such as dirt, sand, or dust particles. These impurities may scratch the surface of this flooring. You also need to keep this laminate flooring dry. Moisture can cause this flooring to swell or warp. There are some laminate flooring products that are equipped with the water-resistant coating. You should wipe the water spills as soon as possible. Do not allow any moistures to sit for long period of time.
They are main types of flooring option for condominium. It is very important for you to choose the right flooring option for your building. Make sure that you choose a good wood flooring option that can be maintained easily. When you want to install these wood floors, you also need to hire professional home builders who can help you install these floors easily. A good flooring option can save you a lot of money by reducing your maintenance cost significantly.

Luxury Vinyl Tile

One type of flooring that is becoming quite popular among homeowners is luxury vinyl tile or LVT. LVT is a major improvement on traditional vinyl sheets, providing plenty of flooring advantages. Thanks to improved technology and advanced manufacturing, luxury vinyl tiles provide increased durability, a wider variety of aesthetics, easier installation and a generally better feel.

Luxury vinyl tile is a vinyl-based flooring material that is designed to mimic the look and feel of various materials such as wood, stone or ceramic. While it may seem unlikely to have luxury and vinyl in the same sentence, LVT is a high-end vinyl material, made better through technology.

  • Durable: There is nothing worse than installing a floor only to have to rip it out just a year or two later because of extensive damage. LVT can last for years while still maintaining its vibrancy. It is a resilient material, allowing it to withstand years of use without showing any signs of ageing.  So, if you are looking for a floor that you will install and then forget about, this is it.
  • Resilient: As we have mentioned, one of the best characteristics of LVT is its hardwearing nature. It can be installed in numerous kinds of environments and still retain its integrity. We have already seen how it can be uses in high traffic places and areas with moisture without any damage. So even though you will spend a lot for it, opting for LVT is a worthy investment. You do not have to keep making expensive repairs or replacing it every now and then.
  • Quick installation: LVT is one of the easiest floors to install. This is especially so for the floating tiles – interlocking and loose lay LVT. Even those that require an adhesive are relatively easy to install, requiring only a few hours to complete a sizable room. Additionally, LVT flooring does not make a mess during installation.
  • Easy replacement: If there ever comes a time when you need to replace your LVT flooring, the work will be easy and quick. The only exception is glued-down tiles, which can present more difficulty in removing them. As for other types of LVT (self-adhesive, interlocking and loose lay), the removal process is quick and straightforward.
  • Versatility: There are so many LVT flooring style options to choose from. Whether you want a ceramic or natural stone look, they are available. You can also get LVT designed to closely resemble slate or natural wood. When you are shopping around for LVT, check what style varieties different manufacturers are offering and choose the one that best complements your home décor.
