(BPT) – Planning a home renovation project? You may be feeling some excitement, anxiety or a thrilling mix of both. Of course, making changes to your home can be fun, but there are so many choices to be made, especially when it comes to choosing flooring that will serve you for years to come.
Flooring can make a huge impact on your space, and choosing the right material and style can make the difference between a room you like and one you love.
To help you through this process from selection to installation — and even make it enjoyable — LL Flooring created a simple, guided four-step flooring process for homeowners and pros alike to ensure that they find the flooring of their dreams.
“We’ve seen how the task of selecting flooring can be challenging, especially for first-time shoppers,” said Charles Tyson, President and CEO of LL Flooring. “This four-step process draws from our deep understanding of our customers’ needs and our ever-evolving flooring options to provide a smart, simple and streamlined experience that makes selecting floors easier than ever.”
1. Find the right material
First, you need to find the best material for your flooring project. Between solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, vinyl, laminate and tile, there are seemingly endless options of flooring styles to choose from.
To pick the right one, you’ll need to consider your lifestyle and space to ensure the material you choose will hold up to the elements in your day-to-day life. Factors to consider can range from your family, pets, regional climate and area of the home.
