Is it time to update your existing floors? Maybe you want a replacement for what you have, or perhaps you want a completely new type. Your local flooring store has all the products you need for any type of floor. Here are some different flooring types you can consider at different flooring stores.

1. Hardwood

Hardwood floors are a timeless option in any American home. In our experience, with some maintenance, these floors can last as long as a century. According to a recent study conducted by the National Association of Realtors, 90% of people who installed hardwood floors prefer to be home more. Considering the beauty and luxurious appeal of hardwood, it's no surprise that people enjoy being surrounded by this material.

2. Luxury Vinyl

Are you interested in hardwood but are working with a tight budget? Our experts believe that luxury vinyl may be the best option, as it mimics the appearance of hardwood while also being water-resistant. It also comes in more colors that can suit any home theme.

3. Tile

Tile can come in various materials such as stone, ceramics, or porcelain. According to Forbes, they can last over 20 years with proper installation and maintenance. These floors are water-resistant and easy to clean. Because of such durability, they're handy for kitchens and bathrooms. Compared to other flooring materials, you have your most dynamic array of colors and designs with tile.

4. Carpet

If you want something soft and comfortable beneath your feet, carpet is the best choice. If you live in an area with harsh winter weather, carpets provide more insulation to make your home warmer. As a result, you can save money on your HVAC services. Carpeting may feel more comfortable when walking around barefoot because it's soft and maintains warmth.

5. Laminate

Are you having a hard time deciding between stone, tile, or hardwood? Laminate can mimic either one. When you buy laminate from your local flooring stores, you're choosing a very easy-to-maintain material that is scratch and water-resistant. When you have high-traffic floors or rambunctious kids and pets, it's a good option to install.
