Waterproof Flooring LakelandWhat Kind of flooring should I choose?

The flooring throughout your home can either help or hurt the overall design and feel of your rooms. There are many factors to consider when choosing new flooring for your home. Options for flooring include: Carpet, Tile, Vinyl, Laminate, Vinyl Plank flooring, and Hardwood Flooring. Choosing the right type, style, and color is essential when redoing any room. Here are a few considerations to help you pick the best flooring for you!

Carpeting

Carpet is a great choice for comfort and price. Most of the time, carpet can be the least expensive flooring option. It helps make bedrooms and living rooms cozy, especially for kids to play on the floor. Factors like dust, pets and spills can be the downfall of keeping your carpet clean and looking it’s best.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring gives you the look of hard wood without the cost. Installation is fairly simple with the locking, floating system. Beware, though, water is no friend to laminate. This floor must stay dry. Moisture will seep into the floor and cause it to swell. Laminate flooring works best in dry rooms like living rooms and bedrooms.

Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring has definitely come a long way. From upgraded rolled vinyl to wood looking vinyl plank flooring, this is not the vinyl from your grandma’s house. The best part about vinyl is that it’s a water proof material, so spills and accidents from kids and pets are no problem for this durable floor. Wood plank vinyl flooring is a great alternative to laminate flooring when wet areas are a concern, making them a perfect choice for kitchens and bathrooms.

Floor Tile

Tile is the hardest, long-lasting flooring surface. While it can be a little more expensive for the material and labor to install, tile flooring will last a lifetime. Practically kid and pet-proof, tile floors will withstand quite a bit of use. Tile flooring comes in many different finishes, styles, sizes and colors. There are so many choices for floors and accents, it’s easy to create a look that is just right for you. Tile is a great floor options for the entire home.

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring is beautiful and gives your home a classic look. However, getting real hard wood floors can come at a great cost. Real wood floors are softer than laminate floors and can scratch easier. Cleaning and maintaining wood flooring is pretty easy and they are more resistant to spills than laminate flooring.

Choosing the best floor covering for your home depends on where and how your floor will be used. Other factors like cost, ease of installation, durability and maintenance should all be considered too. At Lakeland Liquidation, we are here to help you figure out the best type of flooring for your home!

Choosing Between Laminate and Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring

Laminate and Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring are both a great alternate to real hardwood floors. They both offer locking, floating joinery that snap together and are easy for do-it-yourself installation. So, what are the differences?

Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is 100% plastic. Laminate is 99% wood product.  This means that when it comes to wet areas, vinyl has superior resistance to moisture where laminate flooring may swell over time if subjected to repeated wetness.   Areas like kitchens and bathrooms may be better suited for vinyl plank and use laminate flooring for the rest of your home.

LUXURY VINYL PLANK FLOORING

Laminate and Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring both offer the look of wood planks in a variety of colors and styles. In addition, they both are relatively easy to install.  Maintenance and caring for these floors are pretty simple.  Vinyl can be swept and either wet or dry mopped.  Laminate floors should only be dry mopped and spot cleaned where needed.

LAMINATE FLOORING

Laminate flooring is thicker by nature of its pressed-board wood core. Vinyl is thinner.  In considering comfort, vinyl is thinner and if installed directly on concrete can be hard and cold.  Laminate with pad underlayment may be easier to walk on and warmer to the touch.

So, which one should you choose?  In order to determine what would be best for your home, you need to consider material, moisture level, and comfort along with available styles, colors and price.

tile flooring for bathroom remodelLAKELAND, FLORIDA —Whether your friends are coming for a visit or a potential buyer is taking the grand tour, they’ll decide a lot about your home (and its owner) in your bathroom.  Fortunately, replacing your bathroom’s standard, run–of–the-mill linoleum floor covering is a quick and affordable way to make sure the snap judgment people make in your latrine is one you won’t want to flush down the drain.

Dionne Hodgson, our resident flooring specialist here at Lakeland Liquidation, says tile flooring is an easy way to boost a home’s appearance, value and character without taking on a full bathroom remodeling project.

“It’s never a bad idea to update a bathroom, whether giving the room a complete facelift or adding tile flooring,” Dionne says. “A modern bathroom that’s comfortable and efficient is a treat that every homeowner should enjoy, and it’s likely to increase a home’s resale value.”

In fact, many homebuyers make decisions based on a home’s bathrooms and kitchen, and they frequently opt for durable, modern features that won’t need to be updated in the near future. And, of course, there are aesthetics to consider.

Contrast a bathroom that hasn’t been renovated since its original construction in the 1950s, or one with bland linoleum flooring against one updated with ceramic or porcelain tile. The latter is a more finished product comprised of substantial, unique materials that create a regal, modern overall look. A bit of tile goes a long way in tailoring your home, even on a tight budget.

The benefits of tile flooring go far beyond its aesthetic appeal. Our tile flooring is:

 1) Affordable, even on a tight budget

2) One of the most durable flooring options

3) Fire-resistant

4) Easily maintained

5) Resistant to odor and stain

6) Long-lasting without needing regular replacement

7) Available in a variety of colors, textures, sizes and styles, which allows for unique customization

Don’t be embarrassed by what’s beneath your bathroom rugs. Explore the many affordable discount options we offer and choose the colors, patterns, shapes and sizes that will make you love your bathroom from the floor up at a price that can’t be beat.
