Is wood flooring the best for your living room, or is carpet flooring the best solution for you? Well in this article we will discuss some pros and cons concerning wood flooring and carpet flooring for your living room.
Regarding wood flooring, it is quite effective during the winter and summer months. Wood flooring doesn’t hold in a lot of water and is quite a beautiful sight. It is relatively easy to install and to work with. However, the wood floors do scratch relatively easily, so discretion must be used when moving furniture. On the appeal side, wood floors have a very warm appeal, both during winter and summer time, however during the winter time, if the heat is not working properly, the boards will be cold to the touch.
For carpet flooring, much can also be said about this as well. Carpets are infamous for holding water underneath them. Checking regularly underneath the carpet for water damage will decrease chances of mold, and if necessary, to replace sections of the carpet. Carpet also feels wonderful at the touch of bare feet, and it very nice during the winter time. Keeping these things in mind will help to further your decision-making process in carpet/wood flooring.
