When you have a young, busy family, you know that cleaning can take up a lot of time. Choosing the right flooring can significantly simplify your life. Here are the top 3 options to consider.
Hardwood
Some homeowners may initially shy away from hardwood simply because of the cost and concern about water damage. However, hardwood is actually an excellent choice for families because it’s durable and easy to clean. It can last decades with periodic refinishing, and it’s better for allergies due to its nonporous surface. If water is a concern, simply add area rugs in areas prone to water exposure.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is a great alternative to hardwood flooring. It looks like hardwood, but is nearly waterproof since it contains PVC and other waterproof materials. It may be a better option in areas like kitchens and bathrooms where water damage is a concern. It’s a durable product that resists dents and scratches. LVT is extremely easy to clean and requires very little maintenance.
Carpet
Carpet is another family-friendly flooring option. It’s soft, absorbs sound and impacts, and simply requires vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning to help cut down on allergens. You can find carpet options that are stain resistant and there are even certain cuts that wear better in high-traffic areas to increase longevity.
