It’s no secret that running a family household and parenthood is no easy ride. The increased activity and plenty of footfall both mean your floors can tend to look tired quicker. This can be a real bummer since you don’t get as much time to give your flooring any attention. So, you’re going to need something that will hold up against the heavy traffic and be easy to manage. So, let’s have a look!
With little ones running around likely to slip over, with god knows what on their hands and toys that will scratch, you’re going to need flooring that’ll stand up to this wear. However, with all those family expenses, budget is always an important factor. Luckily, getting that balance right between a practical and affordable flooring is easy, the flooring that comes out on top is Luxury Vinyl Tiles.
If you’re familiar with the details of flooring, you’ll know that real wood is popular for a reason. It’s durable and luxurious, so it’s no surprise that it’s so desirable with homeowners. The good news is LVT looks incredibly similar to natural products, that often it’s nearly impossible to tell them apart. LVT mimics real wood convincingly through realistic-looking grains, knots and colour variation as well as textured surfaces.
Unlike real wood, LVT is able to cope with the fluctuating temperatures of underfloor heating, cosy for your little ones playing on the floor! This also means you can lay LVT in rooms that see changing temperatures such as the boiler room or conservatory. Although installing underfloor heating can be a disruptive and expensive change, it often ends up being a much more efficient way of heating your home, not to mention this feature will help with the selling value when it is time to move on.
Perhaps one of LVT’s most useful benefits for a family household is that it is stain, scratch and waterproof, so you can only imagine how carefree this fantastic flooring is. This also makes cleaning a breeze, a simple sweep or vacuum is all that’s needed, accompanied by a warm mop to keep it hygienic.
LVT’s benefits don’t stop there. It is incredibly durable and will cope with heavy domestic use and high foot traffic, you won’t need to worry about changing your floors for a long time! Additionally, unlike carpet, LVT doesn’t collect dust, so it’s the ideal option if any of your family members suffer from allergies.
As discussed, just because you’re going for LVT as a cheaper option doesn’t mean you’re missing out on quality and style!
