The ABCs (and Beyond) of Flooring

Posted on: 25 January 2023

When you want to remodel your home's floors, you may think about what new materials you can use in the project. You want to invest in something that will look good and last for years. However, you also may want the materials to be cost-effective and come in a variety of colors. 

You may not find these results in choices like hardwood flooring or ceramic tile. Rather, you may get the performance, look and value you want when you choose residential carpet for your home's floors.

Variety of Colors

Residential carpet typically comes in a wide variety of colors to ensure you get the exact shade you want. You may want a neutral tone, for example, so you can mix and match draperies, furniture, and other fixtures in the room where it is laid. The neutral color of the residential carpet may tie together the decorations in the room and blend in well with them.

Alternatively, you may want the residential carpet to come in a certain color to match a bedspread, set of drapes, or throw rugs in the room where it will be used. You can find colors that might match or complement the decorations and add more dimension and style to the room.

Durability

Even more, residential carpets can last for years with proper care. You may want to avoid the worries of the floors getting scuffed or scratched as you might if you had hardwood flooring in your home. You also want to avoid tiles being cracked and loosened.

Instead, residential carpets can endure for years and may only need weekly vacuuming and occasional shampooing to keep them in good condition. It also may resist damages that can come with being exposed to high amounts of foot traffic.

Value

Finally, residential carpets can be more cost-effective and easier for your budget to afford. You may not have tens of thousands of dollars or more to spend on flooring materials. You may be able to spend pennies on the dollar per square foot in the room being remodeled and get an entire room carpeted for hundreds rather than thousands of dollars.

Residential carpets can offer a host of benefits when you remodel your home's floors. This material may come in an assortment of colors to match or blend in with any decorations you use. It also may endure for years with proper care and fit better in your floor remodeling budget.
