Choosing Kitchen Flooring

When you choose the flooring for your Carrolton kitchen, the two aspects that should be at the forefront of your mind are the durability of the flooring and its ease of maintenance. Linoleum, ceramic tile, and wood are all very durable and easy to clean on an everyday basis.

Linoleum is relatively inexpensive and comes in styles to match any kitchen interior design scheme. Ceramic tiles, albeit slightly more expense, have just as many style options but provide superior durability.

If you choose ceramic tiles, it is important to remember that they can be susceptible to cracking if not installed properly. The expert floor installers at Draper Floors can properly prepare your kitchen floor in order to completely remove the risk of cracking.

Wood has the benefits of both linoleum and ceramic tile, but homeowners have to make absolutely certain that they properly protect kitchen wood flooring. The kitchen is a moisture rich environment, and wood is particularly susceptible to water damage. The wood flooring specialists at Draper Floors can ensure that you choose wood flooring with the appropriate protective finish.

Choosing Living Area Flooring

The great thing about choosing flooring for the living area of your home is that it really comes down to choosing which flooring best suits your taste. The most common choices are carpet, tile, or wood flooring.

Carpet is a great choice in that it is an excellent insulator, so it will have a warm feel even during the winter. Likewise, the softness of carpet is great for family living areas where everyone lies around watching movies or playing games.

Once again, tile has the advantages of high durability and easy maintenance. Tile also has the style versatility to match any interior design scheme. Coming in so many options, the design specialists at Draper Floors can provide you with samples that could match your rustic or modern Carrolton living spaces.
