Which floor suits your situation?

Choosing the perfect flooring for your new home can be overwhelming, with options ranging from laminate to PVC and wood, each offering unique benefits and drawbacks. This guide will help you navigate the intricacies of each type, empowering you to make an informed decision that aligns with your lifestyle and the specific needs of your space.

You've got your eye on a house and are planning to have a building inspection carried out beforehand. Some things in this new home might not be entirely to your liking. One aspect that many buyers want to update is the flooring. The most common flooring options are wood, tile, laminate, or PVC. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Which flooring is best suited to your situation?

Modern and practical: the PVC floor

At first glance, PVC floors resemble laminate flooring. PVC flooring is also very easy to clean. A key difference between PVC and laminate flooring is that PVC is more moisture-resistant. You can even install PVC flooring in your bathroom. PVC floors are known for being virtually indestructible. Furthermore, PVC floors insulate sound, even without an underlay.

A PVC floor is thinner than a laminate floor and requires a flat, smooth subfloor. The subfloor often needs to be leveled first. PVC floors are more expensive than laminate floors, but also offer greater durability. A PVC floor is an excellent heat conductor and popular in rooms with underfloor heating.

Building inspection and choice of the floor

Besides your own preferences, the type of home you're considering also plays a role in choosing flooring. Homekeur's building inspectors can provide tailored advice and take the time to listen. During a building inspection , the current condition of the home is assessed and it becomes clear which renovations or flooring options are suitable. Feel free to contact us for a no-obligation appointment with one of our inspectors.
