Flooring plays a major role in how much you enjoy your new home. It can make a difference in regard to how you clean, the aesthetics, not to mention your resale value. However, there are a lot of different options on the table when it comes to different kinds of flooring. Let’s talk about how to narrow down the flooring options.
Wood gives you the best ROI in terms of flooring.
Wood is Best
You may argue that we’re a bit biased here, but yes, wood is the way you want to go when it comes to looking at your flooring options. While the price to entry may be slightly higher than a tile or carpet installation, you need to think in the long term. If you think in terms of return on investment, wood is the way to go, even if you’re on a budget. Why is this the case? For one, wood is more durable than a lot of these options, and even if it gets wear and tear, refinishing is a lot less work than having to replace like you would with a carpet. Second, there’s a lot of different wood options out there, to make sure that the design fits your overall home look. Last, it’s easier to clean, which is a boon for homes with young children or pets.
Wood Options
So, what are some of the more popular different types of wood flooring available? Unfinished is a good option if you plan on applying a custom stain, while finished wood gives you more durability right off the bat. Engineered wood is great if you want the appearance of any species with more uniform durability. On the topic of species, oak, maple, and cherry are common favorites. However, you also have more exotic options like bamboo and mahogany on hand.
