When investing in a floor, you should be buying an all-in-one-solution for all year round for many years to come. However, flooring can be a bigger problem in the summer than in the winter so seasonal effects need to be considered. As a result of this, Carpet Corner would like to discuss flooring which make summer 2023 an absolute breeze.
Summer brings plenty of new factors to consider, from allergies to high temperatures and even material worries. If any of these in particular concern you then read on to find out which floorings can tackle these issues.
Carpet Corner has a wide selection of flooring available, all year round with new ranges coming out monthly.
Tile Effect Flooring or Wood Flooring solutions?
Amongst modern home owners, the most popular floors to tackle summer concerns are Tile Effect Flooring and Wood Flooring. More specifically, by Tile Effect Flooring we are referencing LVT Flooring and Porcelain Tiles. On the other hand, Wood Flooring is referring mainly to laminate flooring both parquet and real wood.
So how exactly are these two different types of flooring different from each other?
Withstand the temperature with Tile Effect Flooring
Tile is a popular choice for summer due to its durability, moisture resistance, and ability to stay cool underfoot. This becomes incredibly important especially if the room comes in contact with a lot of direct sunlight. On the other hand, carpets can make the underfoot too warm due to the material.
Ceramic or porcelain tiles are excellent options as they are naturally resistant to moisture and do not absorb heat. As a result, you won’t have to worry about underfoot burns during the hottest summer afternoons.
Additionally, tiles are easy to clean which is certainly a bonus as most excess is brought in during summer. This makes them suitable for areas prone to spills or high humidity, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.
Laminate Flooring: The All-Rounder for All Year Round
Laminate flooring is an excellent choice for summer due to how it is light weight with a compact, durable design. This results in flooring which won’t overheat but also is extremely easy to wipe down and clean. Due to the layering, unlike authentic hardwood flooring sunlight won’t wear the material down as fast.
It is composed of multiple layers, including a moisture-resistant core, making it less susceptible to warping or humidity damage. These same layers can also ensure that the surface doesn’t get too cold during the winter months. In short, they have the thermal upside of carpet with the ease of maintenance attached to wood floor.
Laminate flooring is available in various styles and finishes, allowing you to achieve the desired look for your space.
