The amount of floorspace in a house is usually one of the top things
given in a real estate listing. What's covering that floorspace also
usually gets top mention. And it makes sense considering we spend so
much time living on it. You want to know whether the floors are
carpeted or laminate so you can weigh comfort versus maintenance.
Acadian Flooring America Marrero
has both ends of the flooring spectrum - laminate for maximum
durability and ease of cleaning to carpet for the greatest comfort and
warmth. Plus there's everything in between including hardwood and tile -
which have their own maintenance and comfort considerations.
In our house, we have mostly laminate. The only place where carpet
exists is on the stairways and in the basement. This is particularly
suited to our needs, since we have two young ones who spend a lot of
time on and close to the floor making messes only children can make.
The laminate is able to take quite a lot of wear and tear.
The carpet on the other hand, adds some warmth and comfort to the
cement underlying the basement.The kids like to play there too. And
although the carpet is not as forgiving for spills and messes, it's
probably worth it for the extra comfort afforded.
In any case, homeowners need to weigh the different benefits vs
disadvantages of these different kinds of flooring for their own
situation.
