OPTION OF HOME FLOORING A:Ceramic Tile When in need of flooring that requires waterproofing, ceramic tile is the best alternative.Ceramic tiles made of porcelain color through tile body, are the best to hide scratches or damages due to their composition. B:Hardwood Flooring Hardwood flooring presents a combination of beauty and durability that would rarely have a flooring material.This type of flooring provides a long-lasting product, wear resistant surface that could be refinished if necessary.

Easy to install, laminate flooring requires a reasonably flat, smooth base such as vinyl, plywood, tile, or hardwood flooring (carpeting must be removed). The planks are designed to be snapped together along their interlocking edges, creating a floating floor where no nails or glue are required to secure to the subfloor.

The planks sit on a foam underlayment and are held in place by their own weight. This underlayment can be purchased separately or pre-attached.

Floating Floor Cons This flooring cannot be sanded. It is designed with a sealed finish.

Once the flooring starts to break down or show signs of wearit cannot be refinished, it needs to be replaced. Furthermore, the flooring requires a special moisture barrier underlayment to protect it from humidity, which can sometimes add to the cost of installation; when you're pricing out floating flooring, remember to include the cost of the moisture barrier.
