Flooring Options

Our floor gives us visual appeal, warmth on our feet and adds character inside our home.

When we think about what floor we use we first think of the area the floor goes in and the characteristics it should have. Sure, any type of floor can in theory be installed everywhere- when we temporarily lived in the UK we had in the property we rented carpet in the bathroom. Possible yes, but I am not sure it was the right decision.

​

But outside those basic principles of avoid carpet in the bathroom there are other things to think about. Where if anywhere do you walk barefoot? What is the maintenance requirement? How environmental are the products out there? How do you heat your home? Underfloor heating is best with tiled floors for example. This and more we explore in our flooring section.

Tile floors are very robust. Tiles can be made out of ceramic and stone for example. Tile floors last a very long time and work very well for areas with underfloor heating.
