The floor is a fundamental part of the style and personality of our home, but it is also one of the elements that suffers the most wear and tear, deteriorating over time. When this happens, the house can look old and even neglected. For this reason, several specialists suggest several effective solutions to renovate and change the floor of homes.
There are two key issues when facing this decision, which usually put us off. The first is the high cost of the renovation and the second, the annoying works that it entails. However, these inconveniences can be minimized if you follow some recommendations.
Vinyl flooring
If you have ever thought about putting hydraulic tiles in the bathroom or installing wood in the kitchen, but you can't decide, a good option is vinyl flooring. These offer a wide variety of finishes, many of which realistically imitate more noble and, therefore, more expensive materials.
Although their price is one of their main attractions, they also have other advantages. On the one hand, they are installed directly on the existing floor and, being so thin, in most cases it will not be necessary to adjust the doors. In addition, their high resistance allows them to be placed in any space in the home. Added to this is the ease of finding models that adapt perfectly to any decorative style.
Linoleum flooring
It is not one of the most common options for renovating floors in homes, vinyl flooring is gaining popularity. This type of flooring, which is used in medical centers, schools and businesses, has evolved a lot in terms of colors and finishes. In the domestic sphere, they are ideal for creating environments with a touch of elegance.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, these floors stand out for their resistance and ease of cleaning, as they repel dust and are antibacterial. They are installed directly on the old floor and are made of natural materials, which makes them biodegradable. However, their main disadvantage is that they are somewhat sensitive to humidity and direct light.
Epoxy resin floors
Although their price is somewhat higher than that of other materials, when renovating the floor, epoxy resin is a very attractive option thanks to its impressive finishes. Unlike other materials, it can be applied directly on the old floor without the need to level it, as it is self-leveling, which allows for a uniform result regardless of whether the surface is completely smooth.
Epoxy resin floors provide a distinctive touch of style and even allow you to create 3D effects. They also offer good insulation, are durable, require very little maintenance and, as they are continuous floors, do not accumulate dirt in joints, making them very easy to clean.
Laminate floors
Laminate floors are made up of layers of wood-derived materials or synthetic materials. The top layer is decorative and, like vinyl floors, can replicate a wide range of materials, from wood to marble, slate or ceramic.
Another advantage is that it is not necessary to remove the old floor, as the planks are installed using a click system. In addition, they provide good thermal and acoustic insulation, and there are options at very competitive prices. However, it is important to consider that laminate floors are thicker than vinyl floors, which could be a factor to take into account.
Floating floors
Although their installation is similar to that of laminate floors, floating floors have a fundamental difference. This type of flooring is made entirely of natural wood, and although its composition is made of this material, the top layer is a sheet that can be sanded, varnished or waxed when it begins to show wear. Its finishing options are, logically, more limited, but there are very affordable models.
If you are looking for the warmth, texture and look of real wood, it is an excellent option to renew the floor without spending a lot of money. In addition, although it may not always seem like it, they are quite durable and resistant floors.
These are several alternatives to renew floors without spending too much. Their prices are quite affordable, and they all have the advantage that they do not require removing the old flooring, which already represents a saving. In addition, the diversity of models is surprising, which will allow you to create the style you want for your home.
