Hello World! If you are looking for new flooring for your home, you will have plenty to choose from. It does not matter what materials you want to finish your floors in. These days, you can easily get your hands on what you need. The only problem is that some styles of flooring are expensive.
Real stone flooring is expensive
For example, if you fancy a stone floor for your kitchen you will have to be prepared to pay a lot for it. Prices start at around $40 per square foot. For most families, that is a lot of money, and way out of their price range.
Of course, a stone floor is potentially worth paying a lot for. It is durable. There are stone floors in use around the world that have been down for literally hundreds of years.
However, the fact that most people change their kitchen every decade, or so, means that expensive floor is likely to be torn up during the makeover. As a result, the fact that it could last for a hundred years is not really a big purchasing consideration. It really does not make sense to pay so much for a floor that is not likely to stay down for very long.
However, that does not mean that you should dismiss the idea of a stone finish for your home. If that is what you really want, there is a way to get it without breaking the bank.
Stone effect laminate flooring
It is actually possible to achieve that sophisticated look by buying stone effect laminate flooring. You can find a good selection of this type of flooring on www.discountflooringdepot.co.uk. It looks great, but costs a fraction of what you would have to pay for a real stone floor.
Durable and easy to lay
The great thing about this flooring is that it is really easy to lay. Just take a look at this video to see what we mean.
A modern laminate floor is also very durable. Of course, it is not as tough as a real stone floor, but it will easily last for years. This is borne out by the fact that the best companies offer extensive warranties on their laminated products.
Virtually any design available
It does not really matter what look you are after, laminate flooring is a good option. This is because it comes in a wide range of looks.
Because the top layer of the floor is actually a photograph that is applied to the composite planks means any pattern can be recreated. That photo finish is protected by a clear, but tough laminate, which makes the floor is highly durable.
When we say any design, we do mean any design. There are even firms out there that will make you a customized laminate floor.
So, whether you want a stone, tile or wooden floor, choosing laminate flooring is a good way to get one. There are hundreds of designs available in every shade, color or pattern allowing you to create the exact look you want.
