Floor
Covering – too many options and choices
Floor
coverings are used essentially in all the parts of the house,
on the base concrete, or sometimes on tiles too, if the surface
is too cold. There are heaps of options in the market, regarding
what sort of floor covering to use, incase you are planning to
build or renovate your house. It is important to choose the right
kind of floor covering because it can help in completely changing
the look of your house, make it brighter and more appealing. Regardless
of what material you choose, you must make sure that the material
is durable and of excellent quality if you want it to work out
cheaper in the long run. Do not go for cheaper ones that will
quickly succumb to ware and tare. Following are some of the floor
covering materials and options that you can find in the market
these days.
Floor
covering choices
There are many options for floor coverings in the market. You
can choose from among these, according to your budget and taste.
Following is the list of floor covering materials –
•
Tiles – They are a very convenient choice and come
in different varieties, prices, colors and materials (Ceramic,
marble, granitite). They are non-slip, hard and water and heat
resistant.
•
Carpets – They come in a variety of designs, and
sizes. They can be simple cotton carpets, or thick heavily embroidered
Persian rugs, which are very popular, or other factory manufactured
ones.
•
Timber – It can be laid on concrete, and is hard,
thus takes a long time to ware. The disadvantage is that you will
have to polish it from time to time.
•
Painting – It is very cheap and suitable for hardwearing
floors.
•
Natural flooring - This can be done with the sisal plant
or coir, which is made of coconut husks or jute, which is a very
popular option these days.
Apart
from these there are also many other type of floorings that are
available in the market. From laminates to cork floors to recycled
flooring options like linoleum, recycled carpeting, water based
adhesives etc. You can choose one from any of these options, but
make sure they are suitable to the environmental conditions that
you are living in.
