Although the flooring in your home may not stand out as much
as some other features, installing the right type is very important. If you
choose a high quality hardwood floor, your home will have a completely
different look and feel than if you were to install carpeting. Your choice will
depend on your preferences and the lifestyle you lead, as well as the size and
makeup of your family. Do you entertain a lot? If so, your choice may trend
toward elegance rather than comfort. If your family includes small children,
your best flooring choice will be a surface that is easy to clean while still
offering a comfortable surface for the kids to play.
While considering your flooring choices you should bear in
mind that different rooms of your home require different types of flooring.
Your foyer makes the first impression on your guests, so you may want to
consider a tile or stone floor with a decorative medallion worked into the
design. This type of flooring is also resistant to water, dirt or whatever
people may track into your home. Cleanup is a snap and these hard surfaces
cannot be easily damaged.
Hardwood flooring is very popular these days, and it can
literally work in nearly every area of your home. While it has been the common
belief that kitchen flooring should be vinyl or a version of stone or ceramic
tile, hardwood can work very well for a kitchen if it is properly sealed to
resist moisture. Genuine hardwood flooring can cost a lot though, so some
people choose a laminate instead.
There have been some new and innovative developments in
floor coverings that offer a wider range of choices for home owners. One
very versatile flooring choice is a resin floor. These floors are
extremely durable and can be expected to last for about 20 years, and any image
can be encapsulated beneath the sealed topcoat.

Bathrooms, kitchens, entryways and hallways are high traffic
areas, and these areas are a great location for resin flooring. These floors
are very easy to clean because they do not retain dirt or dust, and an
anti-slip surface can be applied for an extra layer or safety in high traffic
areas.
Choosing from nearly endless designs before a professional
installs your new resin floor may be the hard part. Your new self-leveling
resin floor offers beauty and style while lasting for many years.
