Plastic Flooring: 3 things to consider before buying
When selecting plastic flooring, think about where you'll install it and how much foot traffic the area will receive. High-traffic areas, like kitchens or hallways, benefit from more durable options such as luxury vinyl planks or tiles, which resist wear and tear effectively. For less trafficked spaces, you might opt for a lighter material that offers more design flexibility. Always check the product specifications to ensure the flooring meets your durability needs.
Plastic flooring is popular for its water-resistant properties, but not all options offer the same level of protection. If you're installing flooring in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or basements, choose products labeled as 100% waterproof. This ensures long-term performance and prevents issues like warping or mold growth. Look for features such as sealed edges and water-tight locking systems for added peace of mind.
Your aesthetic preferences are important, but so is functionality. Plastic flooring comes in various styles and finishes that mimic natural materials like wood or stone. Consider how the color and texture will complement your existing décor while also serving practical needs. For example, a textured finish can provide better traction in wet areas, enhancing safety without sacrificing style. Use samples to visualize how different designs will look in your space before making a final decision.
