Alternatives to Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood floors look beautiful wherever they are. Gleaming, rich wood complements homes new and old; it can go in living rooms, kitchens, entryways, hallways, and even bedrooms. However, while hardwood has always been a classic flooring favorite, it’s not always the best flooring option. Even finished wood can only withstand so much wear, and any wood exposed to continuous traffic and dampness will begin to warp.
Hardwood flooring is also one of the most expensive flooring options - so if you have it, you want it to last. To avoid creaking floors, fading colors, and cupping or crowning planks, simply don’t put in hardwood flooring where it will be vulnerable to excessively high-traffic and moisture. Luckily, for high-activity homes and areas that need more durable, flexible flooring, there are plenty of other hardwood alternatives that can take the heat (and the spills, accidents, and excitable pets).
Hardwood Alternatives
Laminate
Beauty doesn’t always have to come with a hefty price tag. For homeowners focused on hardwood floors without the financial burden, laminate is one of the cheapest hardwood alternatives. Laminate flooring closely mimics wood, tile, and stone, and it is scratch- and water-resistant. Secondly, its easy install means homeowners can budget for more improvements to their home. Like hardwood, laminate shouldn’t be heavily mopped, but laminate floors can be cleaned with a gentle mixture of dish soap and hot water, and they don’t require the polishing and refinishing required to keep hardwood’s shine.
Vinyl
Vinyl can also closely mimic the look of wood and other natural materials. While it can be scratched, signs of wear can be minimized with proper care. It has the additional benefit of being waterproof, making it an easy universal home flooring or a copycat replacement for hardwood in kitchens, laundry rooms, and other areas prone to moisture. Furthermore, whereas wood is a conductor, vinyl is an insulator that helps keep your room at a comfortable temperature and volume.
Tile
While hardwood has always been an overall favorite, tile is also a timeless flooring classic for kitchens and bathrooms as well as gathering areas like mudrooms and entryways. Tile won’t feel like wood, but advancements in its design allow it to fairly resemble hardwood planks. Easily customize your floors with countless decorative designs, and enjoy peace of mind with hardy ceramic, porcelain, and stone that can withstand high-activity households. Even if a tile cracks, it can be singularly replaced, no extensive repairs required.
