Three tips for choosing flooring for your home

Flooring can become a focal point or provide subtle enhancement for furnishings and other room decors.
If you're looking for new floors in the Kings Mountain, NC area stop by Barrett Floor Covering, where you'll find a wide selection of the trendiest flooring styles. But, first, browse through our extensive online catalog, and give some thought to the following tips.

1. Don’t immediately dismiss a natural flooring material because of cost.

Wood, stone, and ceramic look hard surface flooring, as well as synthetic carpeting, are acceptable materials. With so many styles available, you're sure to find one perfect for your home at our flooring store.

But consider the pros and cons of investing in a natural material that may never need to be replaced and will add value to your home if you sell it.

2. Know the type of subfloor that is beneath your existing floor.

If you prefer solid hardwood flooring and the subfloor in your home is wood, you're 'good to go.' But engineered wood, which includes a moisture tolerant plywood base and a surface layer of hardwood, is preferable if there is cement under your existing floor.

Another example is carpeting can be laid on cement if you choose the correct carpet and underlayment.

3. Compare all new floors before making a final purchasing decision.

You can choose any flooring for your home, regardless of your lifestyle, if you choose the right product. However, it's a mistake to discount hardwood flooring immediately, even if you have large dogs or carpeting because you frequently entertain.

These examples are appropriate for a rustic hardwood plank that won't show scratches and a carpet brand with superior stain resistance.
