If you look for all available floor types in the market today, your search would return thousands of results. That's because the choices on floor types are growing in numbers every passing day. So if you're feeling a bit daunted by all them, here are a few ones to give you some ideas.
Carpeting comes in many different kinds like wool, nylon and pile. I recommend asking a professional interior designer if you're thinking about which carpet to choose. For places that get a lot of foot traffic, you can go with durable wool. Berber would be great for family rooms. Price ranges between $15 and $30 per yard.
If you're looking for sleek designer looks, ceramic tiles are for you. The options for these are also endless. You can have it in all possible sizes and colors. The price for installation are around $8 to $15 per square foot.
Polished concrete offers the best of all options. It can give you a more contemporary look as marble but it is as cheap as ceramic tiles. If you're worried it's too cold, contractors can put heating tubes underneath to keep it warm in the winter. It also comes in many colors.
So whatever material you go with, all you have to consider is know what you really want. It's best to just go with the existing overall look of your house's architecture. Just weigh around functionality, style and costs and you'll have a beautiful new floor in no time.
