There are many factors that are involved in
choosing the type of flooring best for your space, but the most important
aspect is your preference.
Next, select the right materials for your
application. You should consider the type of traffic, the life of the
product, and the environment that it will be exposed to.
We
suggests asking yourself the following questions when floor shopping:
1.What
type of flooring are you looking for?
2.What
kind of performance do you expect from the floor?
3.What
room are you putting the flooring into?
4.What
kind of budget do you have?
5.
How long do you expect the flooring to last?
6.What
kind of an investment are you willing to put into it?
The next step is to find what color to choose.
This process could be a bit overwhelming, so we have a few guidelines that
should help guide you in the right direction.
Lighting is one important factor that will help
you decide which color tone to select. Remember that darker flooring tends
to absorb light and would make your home darker. Lighter floors like
natural Maple tends to reflect light and thus brighten the area.
Another factor is the color of your walls and
ceiling. Lighter color floors will absorb the color of your wall and
ceiling as light is reflected back and forth.
Thanks to the Pergo web site, you can play around
with color, texture, and tone, using their (eShowroom).
It�s an interactive page where you can change the color
of the walls, floor, and cabinets. It should help you find and familiarize
the color and tone of a room to your taste.
| Other important points to
consider. |
For heavy
duty traffic and application where water spill is the daily occurences, we
recommend tile. Tile is great in the kitchen,
laundry room, and bathroom. For
those of us who have kids or pets and love the beauty of wood floor, laminate
is the way to go . It resembles the likeness of wood but has far better
resistance to the abuse.
Laminate is great in the kitchen, dining, living room, den, bed
room, hallways and entry. Carpet is
no match for kids and pets, wood is a little too delicate, but with
laminates there is no problem. Most laminates are resistant to scratches,
dents, fades, burns, and now even gaps.
Carpet is best used in bedrooms because it is soft and warm, but
not practical in hallways and dining.
