When purchasing flooring, what should I keep in mind?

 

Keep in mind why you are replacing the floor first of all.  Is it simply for esthetics, comfort or has it to do with durability and ease of maintenance.  Of course budget is a consideration as well.  Is it a lifestyle change that requires a change in flooring to better suit your needs for durability and ease of care?  In many cases it is to simply replace warn materials and think of what created the issue to require it to be replaced.  It is an ideal time to update to new products and designs that will enhance your home while giving you the benefits and features you want.  There are so many options for flooring types, it is best to determine the look you want from the floor and research what type of materials will suit best.  It is always best to have a clear objective to discuss with your flooring professional to make sure those are met.  Don't forget that the appearance is equally important as you have to look at it everyday.  No one type of flooring is perfect so prioritize what is important.
