Different types of flooring 

Marble

Marble, which is associated with wealth and extravagance, is available in a range of colors, including pink, grey, and white, making it one of the most popular house flooring kinds.

The material is highly porous and relatively easy to maintain, lasting up to 25 years in some cases. Because of these factors, it is the ideal flooring for home interiors.

Pros

• Elegant upscale appearance

• Easily polished 

Cons

• Scratches and stains easily

• Slippery and brittle

Vitrified Tile 

Vitrified flooring is composed of a high-temperature-baked mixture of clay and various minerals such as silica, quartz, and feldspar. These tiles, which are often coated with an exterior glaze, have a low water absorption rate and are long-lasting. They are available in a wide range of styles, colors, prints, and textures.

Natural materials such as wood, bamboo, and even marble can be replicated with vitrified tiles. It is one of the most economical forms of flooring available and may be used both inside and outside. Vitrified tiles are offered in three different finishes: glossy, matte, and anti-skid.

Pros

• Durable

• Easy Cleaning

Cons

• Expensive installation

• Slippery floor 

Vinyl 

It is yet another versatile option for anyone looking for attractive alternatives at a reasonable price. Vinyl is one of the less expensive options to explore, with designs that mimic oak and stone finishes. This is one of the most durable types of flooring available, as it is stain- and water-resistant. Our flooring companies Dubai  provides the best vinyl flooring services in Dubai.

Pros

• Durable

• Easy to maintain 

Cons

 

• LVP and LVT are more expensive than laminate

• Lower ROI than wood

Hardwood 

Hardwood flooring is a high-maintenance yet popular flooring design option that comes in strips, planks, and parquet patterns. Hardwood flooring may be fairly durable if properly maintained. It is available in a variety of natural hues, including walnut and cherry, and may complement a wide range of decor trends.

While hardwood flooring options are more expensive than other options, they are still a popular choice for aesthetics. However, noises, creaks, and squeaks might occur as a result of wear and tear in these types of flooring solutions.

Pros

• Increases home value 

• Strong and durable 

Cons

• Expensive

• Moisture damage 

Bamboo flooring 

Bamboo is a naturally occurring material, and the floors manufactured from it are similar to hardwood floors. This is one of those types of flooring that is relatively easy to maintain because it is water- and stain-resistant and may add a classy appeal to your home.

Scratches are the only thing that can detract from the ultra-chic appearance of a bamboo floor. Bamboo planks can swell in humid temperatures, therefore this flooring style is best used in somewhat dry settings.

Laminate 

Laminate flooring gained popularity for its sturdiness and sheer durability. The variety of designs and finishes available makes this one of the greatest forms of flooring for interiors, as it complements numerous decor trends in Indian houses. When shopping for laminate flooring, make sure you request the 'slip-resistant' variety.

Pros

• Easy to clean

• Scratch resistant 

Cons

•  Chips easily

•  It has a hollow sound underfoot

Linoleum Flooring

Linoleum is an eco-friendly flooring solution made from raw resources such as linseed oil, cork, dust, and resin. It's a low-cost and highly versatile (in terms of design) flooring alternative that's extremely popular in Indian houses. The soft surface, on the other hand, is prone to dents and scratches from negligent use. For these reasons, these types of flooring should be used in low-traffic sections of the home.

Pros 

• Eco-Friendly

• DIY Friendly

Cons

      

•    Easily dented or cut 

•     Not for moisture prone areas

Terrazzo 

Terrazzo is a form of flooring that consists of granite and marble chips embedded in concrete or similar materials. These forms of flooring, often known as mosaic flooring,' are strong enough to withstand the test of time. You might remember them from visits to your grandparents' house, as they were common in previous decades. These tiles have been reimagined and are now stain-resistant and simple to care for.

Pros

• Unique beauty

• Longevity

Cons

• Expensive

• Slippery
