Replacing the floor – a check list

Time to replace your floor? There are a number of things you should think about before it’s time to start laying the floor. The floor can be the most visible part of a room, or it can be so discrete that it highlights all the other details in the room. So start by deciding how visible you want the floor to be – but don’t forgot to also consider how much wear and tear it will have to withstand. If you need to replace the floor in a room that is exposed to a lot of wear and tear, you may want to consider laminate or vinyl flooring, which is extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear and scratches. If the room is exposed to less stress, wood parquet flooring could be an attractive option.
