6 Common Types of Flooring Materials for Your Home

Image
By

Whereas the roof is the first thing that people will notice in a house while outside, the type of floor is what will make it stand out for a person stepping in for the first time.

There are a variety of flooring materials available for those building a home which they can pick from – depending on your budget.

We take you through some of the common flooring materials, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each of them – and at the end you will be able to make a decision on the best material for your house.

Vinyl flooring

If you’re working on a tight budget, Vinyl flooring is your best option because aside from being the most durable, it is cheap – compared to other flooring materials.

There is no maintenance needed due to its flexibility and hardness.

Ceramic tiles

This is arguably the most colourful type of flooring – with the ability to give the homeowner an option of choosing a colour, shape, texture, size and shape that they want.

Almost 8 to 9 out of 10 houses today have used ceramic tiles for flooring. They have a great appeal but the only disadvantage is that they are usually cold.

Hardwood flooring

Due to its durability and style, hardwood flooring has been among the dominant wooden flooring materials for those building a home for a while now.

This flooring material is made of wood from hardwood trees and its installation is very easy.

Advantages of having hardwood flooring are that it is easy to maintain – it requires only sweeping or cleaning using an approved wood cleaner – but never use water when cleaning it.

Bamboo flooring

This flooring material is perfect in modern houses – even though it can work on any kind of house style.

Bamboo flooring looks almost like hardwood flooring only that the materials are made from bamboo trees.

This type of floor is stylish, easy to maintain and water resistant – it only requires simple sweeping.

Laminate

If you cannot afford hardwood floor, laminate is your best bet – it looks almost the same as hardwood floor only that it will cost you cheap – not to mention that it is not made of hardwood.

The good thing about the laminate floor is that it can be designed to look like a number of popular flooring materials like ceramic tiles, real stone or concrete.

Stone flooring

If money is not an issue for you, then go for stone flooring as it is the most expensive type of flooring materials.

A stone flooring makes your house elegant and you will have a variety of stones to choose from – be it granite, marble, limestone or sandstones.

As much as stone flooring is expensive, it will service you longer than most of the common flooring materials.

How Women Can Protect Their Property Rights After Marriage

By
They say property has no gender, but history shows a different reality, where property ownership has favoured men. This inequality is still evident, especially when it comes to inheritance after the death of a spouse.  Even though Kenya’s 2010 Constitution guarantees equal rights for men and women, many women still struggle to secure their rights to property. So, how can women make sure their rights are respected after marriage? Baoriat Agencies explains six key ways to ensure fair property distribution in case of death or separation. 1. Registering Jointly Owned Property  When a couple buys property together, it’s important to register it under both names. This guarantees that the other automatically inherits the property if one partner dies. Make sure both names are clearly listed on the title deed as co-owners. 2. Joint Tenancy or Tenancy-in-Common There are two ways to share property: Joint tenancy : If one partner dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner. Tena...
