The Most Durable Types of House Flooring

Flooring manufacturers are constantly redesigning floors to offer the market what they're looking for. With the addition of such flooring types as laminate, engineered wood and luxury vinyl, it has never been easier to select a durable floor that won't compromise aesthetic appeal. But if you want to get down to the basics and choose house flooring that offers supreme durability, concrete flooring is the optimal choice. If you want to handle the job on your own, use a concrete etching solution instead. With these simple touches, you won't know the flooring underneath is concrete, and you can enjoy a floor that is both beautiful and exceptionally durable.

Concrete may be strong, but it can also be cold and unforgiving on slips and falls. If you're looking for a floor that is hard-wearing but homey, laminates may be your answer. Laminate flooring has made drastic improvements over the years and is very tough flooring that offers a quiet sound, especially when installing a quality underlayment. The key is to invest in high-end laminate that has a strong core, exterior and backing. When put together, these components complete a flooring that won't scratch or dent and is ideal for homes with kids and pets. Best of all, laminate can be made to look like anything, including wood and stone.

Wood is another excellent choice, even though it will scratch and dent. Even the strongest of woods are vulnerable to this type of wear, but the good news is that wood looks its best when it has been aged. If you choose a wood that is distressed, you have even more flexibility to add a few dents and scratches without anyone knowing the difference. And if the flooring ever receives too much abuse, it can be sanded down and refinished, looking like new all over again.
