When it comes to renovating a home, the part of installing new flooring tends to be very exciting, as this is an essential aspect of your home’s identity.
If you are planning to change your indoor flooring, you must know that there are many types in the market, different flooring materials, and different price and quality, so making a suitable choice could be a bit difficult.
Here we are going to show you the best indoor floors, with their advantages and disadvantages, so you can make a decision based on your criteria, the needs of your home, and the taste of choosing elegant and modern floors.
These are natural stone floors, very common in spacious homes. They are highly appreciated, because marble is a noble stone with many aesthetic qualities, unalterable over time.
This material is ideal against the test of time, besides being very elegant. It is an ideal floor for hot weather, as it always stays cool.
Wood floors are warm and have unique aesthetics that imitate natural materials, which is why they remain as the material of choice when replacing floors in home renovations. The uniqueness of wood grain and knots, and the overall richness of nuances, means that no two wood floors are alike. They are the flooring of choice in many apartments, and in general for areas such as bedrooms, where we like to walk barefoot.
Ceramic or stoneware floors are a classic in the interiors of homes all over the world. There are ceramic tiles of different qualities, formats, finishes, and ways of laying. If you do not want to renew every few years, the idea is to choose ceramic floors in neutral colors and a classic format.
Ceramic floors are perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, although they are also recommended for houses at street level, villas and gardens.
Vinyl flooring has been a favorite in the last decade for its quality, versatility and price. This type of material can imitate wood, stone or clay and are excellent for resisting wear and tear.
These floors can withstand moisture in kitchens and bathrooms and come in a variety of colors and installation formats.
Microcement or polished cement
If we talk about polished cement or microcement, we have to know that both are very similar aesthetically but have different characteristics.
In the case of polished cement, it can be applied on floors, walls, and countertops. On the other hand, it will be necessary to assess its suitability on radiant wire and the setting time.
As for microcement, it imitates polished cement and can be applied on any flooring, except on parquet and wood flooring. Its main advantage is in the color since the pigment is incorporated in the powder, allowing it to obtain the desired tones.
Both materials, as long as they are installed correctly, do not crack or fissure, are waterproof, and non-slip in most cases.
