Time for New Flooring
It’s time for us to start looking at new flooring especially in two of our bedrooms. But the vinyl flooring in our kitchen needs replaced too. I’m not sure what we want to go with. There is some many selections out there.
For the bedrooms that have carpet now. Do we want to get carpet for them again or do we want to go with some other type of flooring? If we go with carpet, I definitely want some good Stainmaster Carpet to help resist soil and stains. Plus Stainmaster Carpet would stand up to years of traffic (I don’t want to have to change every few years either). But then there is hardwood or laminate flooring to consider. With either of those you wouldn’t have to worry about stains and they would be better for allergies. With hardwood, you have some many choices from different species (such as oak, pine, maple and hickory) and then there’s hand-scraped (it looks more rustic). Laminate has just as many choices as hardwood and it’s very durable and easy to maintain. Plus, laminate usually comes with a warranty against wearing, staining & fading and it can look like wood planks, ceramic or granite tiles. So the look can be very different.
For the kitchen, I think we are going with a product that a friend recommended Konecto. It’s a resilient flooring (like vinyl) and it comes in strips so its very easy to install. You don’t have use glue, so there is no mess. And Konecto is durable and waterproof so it’s great for high moisture places, like my kitchen or the bathroom (that’s a project for a later date).
So now it’s time to make some decisions. *sigh*
So many choices for flooring! It’s hard to decide because once you do it, you have to live with it for a long time. But it’s so nice to have it once it’s done.
Thanks for the prayers for my dad, I know he will really appreciate it.
