How To Choose The Right Flooring

There are lots of things to consider when it comes to how to choose the right flooring. The team at Bundaberg Carpets and Vinyls have put together a list of considerations to take into account when deciding on the type of flooring that's going to be best for your needs.

Flooring Budget

Obviously, the amount of money you have available is going to influence the type of flooring you can afford. Luckily, there are plenty of attractive and durable choices out there that won't break the bank.

It's worth considering how long you intend to stay in the property and whether you're the sort of person who likes to regularly update their interior. If you intend to move on in a year or two or like to totally refurbish your interior every few years, we recommend a budget option.

For people who like to buy the best, then enjoy it for decades, pricier flooring may be the best choice.

Types Of Flooring

The main types of flooring are stone, tiles, carpet, vinyl, laminate flooring, a timber floor (boards, for example, or parquet), or cement. If you want to cover an existing floor, with minimal disruption, then vinyl or carpet are going to work really well.

Timber, stone and tiles require special preparation to the sub-strait before they can be laid. Installation is usually a professional job and a considerable amount of maintenance is needed to keep these floors in good condition.

Laminate flooring is an economical alternative to timber. A photograph of wood is stuck onto a composite board, giving the appearance of real wood, without the price tag.

Carpet Flooring

Available in a wide selection of patterns and colours, there's a type of carpet available for almost every room in the home. Short pile, easy-clean polypropylene carpets are anti-allergenic, simple to maintain and resistant to stains, moisture, dirt and heavy traffic.

A deeper pile carpet offers beautiful softness and warmth underfoot.

Carpets offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation - perfect for households who like a warm floor covering underfoot and who prefer a quiet home.

If you want flooring that offers a touch of luxury as well as a range of functional and aesthetic benefits, carpet is a great choice.

Vinyl Flooring

Hard-wearing, enormously versatile and available in a wide range of colours and styles, vinyl flooring is also hygienic and low-maintenance.

If you want a warmer floor surface or more acoustic insulation, there are types of vinyl out there that have been designed to tick your boxes.

Vinyl can be laid over other types of flooring, as well as easily cut to fit awkwardly shaped spaces.
