While most of us don't consciously give much thought to our floors, they do make a big impact on the look and feel of a room. You can add quite a bit of flare through the use of interesting textures in flooring. When you build is the best time to really sit down with your Harden Custom Homes Representative and let them help you design a home you will love living in.
Florida’s tropical climate holds a lot of moisture in the air all year round. This can affect your building choices in a multitude of ways, flooring being one of them.
Hardwood Flooring: If you previously lived in other areas of the country you may have enjoyed the beauty of hardwood floors. Installing wooden flooring in Southwest Florida is a risk as, over time, it can buckle and become uneven. This can pose a tripping hazard.
If you love and are set on that look you still have options. Engineered hardwood flooring is specifically designed to be more flexible and withstand the moisture levels.
Porcelain Tile Flooring: Porcelain tile flooring is one of the most popular options. It stays cool, is easy to install and maintain, and with regular mopping can look fantastic for years to come. It comes in a huge array of colors, sizes, patterns, and styles to fit any budget and taste.
Natural Stone Flooring: marble and granite are lovely options. They may be placed in large seemingly seamless sheets or in smaller squares or other shapes much like tile. They are durable, and very long lasting.
Concrete flooring: surface treatments are one of the newer arrivals on the scene and they are making a splash. This decorative weathered look can be done in virtually any color and pattern as it is hand sprayed and painted on, then sealed with a top clear protectant. Concrete is durable, already poured in every home as the base, and the maintenance is a breeze.
Carpeting: Carpeting is one of the most popular choices for bedrooms, studies, great rooms, and guest rooms. When you want to be comfortable and cozy, there is nothing like a nice plush soft carpet beneath your toes. Make sure to choose carpet based not only on look, but lifestyle. Is it a high traffic area? Do you have pets? Do you have small children? All of these factors can play in to fiber choice as well as color.
All of this is part of the beauty of building custom. With Harden Custom Homes, it’s your home - your way. We help guide you through the process every step of the way so that you come out the other side with the home of your dreams.
